Ergonomic Chairs ?? Anyone

Anyone on here with a good chair at their computer desk ?

I have been looking around trying to figure out which one to buy. I want one that works... that is the bottom line, but some of these hold pretty big price tags. You also get mixed review about almost every chair with a lot of people thinking they just areent that much better than some of the middle grade chairs for the price you pay.

The chairs I have been looking at is from bodybilt.. they are over a grand... pretty expensive for a chair... but if it works.. it works. Not sure I wanna jump though.

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

Looks nice... how long have you had yours ? How is the seat holding up ? I know a lot of chairs the padding just isnt good enough and before you know it it the seat is a lot harder.

Going to try and visit a few stores to see if any have it in stock. Here is anothe from them.. same price, but seems like it is a little better.... based on just looks of course.

Yeah, looks like the headrest is the main difference, so depends on what you want. I've seen it in stores, so you'll probably find it in Office Max, etc.

Holds up like brand-new 3 years in. Mesh back strong as can be. No probs with the seat. You'll need to set the knob that controls how stiff/weak the leaning-back of the chair is. The pad for lumbar support behind the chair back is nice; just shift it up and down as desired. Arms of the chair feel like they'd be first to wear out, depending on how many times you adjust them up and down/in and out. If you're the only/main one using it, shouldn't be a problem.
