Best office chair for under $500?

9 years 10 months ago #382126 by Rudy Sosa
Let's face it, we all sit on our butts for what seems like eternity when editing photos.  My $40 cheapo Office Depot chair isn't going to cut it any longer.  I need something that is comfortable!  I would like to try to stay under $500.  So please if you can suggest something comfortable for me to go find and test out myself, I would really appreciate it.

Having been through any number of those, the last one I bought was this one . Best chair ever. Even compared to a $300 fancy schmancy chair I had in my last job.

The downside is that it needs to be replaced after just a few years (cylinder leaks when the room is chilly, leather flaking, etc. But I'm going to get another because I know it's great.

The only thing you can do is go sit in them to see what works. And of course, there's a reason everyone loves Herman Miller Aero chairs. But those are spendy.

So far no luck for me.  I thought I'd get better quality by going with the Ashely furniture line, but I've been disappointed.  Back to OfficeMax next time.

I had to go digging to find the chair, but this is the one that I have.  I bought this for $40 from someone off Craigslist  http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/196562/Realspace-Salsbury-High-Back-Chair-Black/
