Office chair recommendations? (Page 2/2) Boondawg AUG 18, 03:41 PM I got lots of experience in this area. The best office/leisure computer chair I ever owned I built myself. Simply find a normal chair (second-hand, even) you like, wingback, half-size recliner, etc. Buy a computer chair (second-hand, even) with the roll-around STEEL legs (not plastic). Graft the swivel/legs to the new chair. Did it twice, lasted forever, twice. latyart JUN 14, 12:10 AM I've been working from home for most of the last 5 years I would recommend heading to the local office supply place and sitting in every chair they have. I did that about 10 years ago and ended up with a cloth executive chair that is very comfortable and has been very durable. Edit to say, it was about $400..generally, I can say that office chairs are like mattresses, you get what you pay for and it's hard to put a value on your back and comfort. Tons of padding do not make an office chair good. It needs to relieve pressure points, keep your spine in a neutral position, and be comfortable for HOURS. Usually, I read these kinds of articles for getting updates on new chairs.

Do you ever respond to threads that aren't dead? ls3mach JUN 14, 04:58 AM What did you end up buying or did you? I know we bought years ago the big and tall chairs from Sam's. I cannot recall price. Neither of us are/were exactly big and tall. We were then on tight budget so these chairs were a real treat to us. They held up for years and surely got our moneys worth, but hardly anything special. I think I am going to start some remote stuff and I don't want to sit holding a laptop all day.
