Moderator - I have no clue where this topic goes so please feel free to repost it. Thanks.

So, I'm sick and tired of those fake leather chairs from office depot. I love the Herman Miller Aeron B chairs, but don't have the dough to get one. What are your guys opinions on what the best chairs for computer users?

Pics and Links would be super helpful!

Thanks MacNN Peeps!

Bump ... I was searching and found this. My current crappy Sealy chair from Staples is broken and I need a new one. What do you guys suggest for a computer desk? I am also thinking less than the Herman Miller Aeron ones. Thanks...

ok . . .here's a legitimate question . . . why do so many of us spend so much money on a desk or more peripherals when we should really be spending good money on a high quality chair to take care of our bodies . . .

i found the Freedom Chair on DWR.com to be a great chair, but a lil pricey

i've been looking for a Aeron C on CL, but they're rare . . .

any other suggestions?

Whatever you buy, make sure it's an ergonomic chair. Any true ergonomic chair should have the following characteristics:

-It should have at least three adjustment levers underneath it. One for height, angle of the seat, and angle of the backrest.

-Adjustible-height armwrests

-Adjustivble-height back

-No less than five wheeled "legs"

Most office stores have a few of them. Expect to spend $200-$300.
