And so...

that's a real question.... how do things sit with you? And how do you sit with your computer...

I saw Tigerdirect selling some chairs, and then the Healthy Back place sent me an email with their echair (I'm on their list on account of having had back problems in the past that kept me from work for ten days at a span)and... frankly, I can't really afford a new chair but I can't afford not to have a new chair. Not sure I'm up for an Aeron, but it's obvious that the $69 Staples wonders are not up to me for very long...

So, talk to me about what kind of chairs have worked for you and which haven't. The one I'm in has done good work, and I think it cost $199.00 about three years ago. Understand that some days I easily spend 12 hours in the thing... no wonder the fabric is worn through in two spots, and the padded arms are covered with the force that holds Maine together -- duct tape in matching colors!

If need be I'll put this on the company credit card... so I may need you guys to all tell your friends to go buy SRM chapbooks so I can continue to sit here and get the chapbooks and LUC #2 together!

So talk to me about chairs, sources, strategies.... this'll need to be done fairly soon.

I've been here 12 years now, and when I moved to the floor I manage now, we were accidentally supplied some 'more than usually expensive' chairs. Sat in one for a week, was completely spoiled, so when I hit my ten year mark I told my CEO he owed me one.

Leap, by Steelcase. Mine's black, some of the colors on the webpage are hideous.

Adjustable height, overall tilt angle, tilt stiffness, angle of the front edge of the seat for people with shorter legs or sore thighs, lumbar support stiffness, lumbar support location, and when you lean back the seat bottom slides forward horizontally, so you're not constantly adjusting your positioning to stop your pants from riding up when you lean. Amount of tilt / slide is ajustable.
