What office chair do you like under 1K?
I know the four figure ones. Not looking for those. What 3 figure ones do you like? Sep 11 20 08:12 pm Link theres office chairs that cost $1000+ ?!?!? news to me. in that price range do they ...you know,... do ..butt ...stuff? Sep 11 20 08:31 pm Link I've got simple tastes. I've had some plush and pricey leather office chairs provided by the employer, but my favorite office chair for long sessions at the home office is a mesh office chair I got at Costco for well under $200. Adjustable and has retractable arm rests. The mesh (seat and back) is supportive, distributes the load, it's cool and it breathes. Happy butt, happy back, happy me. What are you looking for in a $1,000+ office chair besides ego boost? Sep 11 20 10:16 pm Link are you open to a used chair? i asked around for you, and turns out i know someone who has to relocate his evil lair and he's selling the chair. its in great condition, barely used at all. i didn't test all the buttons on it, but the ones i tried work. it rotates 180 degrees left or right menacingly slow, and the button that triggers the trap door in the floor works everytime. i'd imagine it'd be pretty embarrassing if it didnt especially after a witty remark. retail is much higher than $1k, but i think you can talk him down so he doesnt have to move it. Let me know Sep 12 20 06:03 pm Link bodybilt.com Sep 12 20 07:33 pm Link I ended up getting a new Steelcase Leap V2 from Amazon for $850 which is lower than they usually charge so I hope it’s legit. Sep 13 20 11:58 am Link There are a lot of refurbished versions of expensive chairs available. Some are definitely not good refurb outlets, selling bad condition stuff as “open box.” The places that looked more legit were sold out. Lots of demand right now due to Covid.

Generally over $1000 Sep 13 20 12:31 pm Link I don't want my visitors to think that I am cheap. Sep 13 20 12:49 pm Link Mark Salo wrote: to each their own.

I'm using them with drafting tables and motorized custom standing desks which I built myself. I bought the chairs new but at an absolute bankruptcy auction an office furniture store was forced to have. I doubt if I would have ever paid a thousand each for them but I've had a long good luck with Steelcase products. Many years ago at another auction I bought an entire two floors of those steel case office cubicles dirt cheap and resold them for a good profit. It was when I had to disassemble those panels I found out how Steelcase builds things. I think if the building had perished in a tornado those damn cubicles would have still been standing.

But: Sep 16 20 11:04 am Link I don't know if my taste are expensive or not but lets just say my camera cost more than my car!!! I got a really nice chair at Goodwill for $5, that's $995 below your threshold. I bought a Canon 24-70 2.8 mkll with the balance! Somehow I just didn't think the chair would improve my images as much as the lens, thus the $5 chair vs $995 lens. The chair's great though because even occasionally when the wheel falls off the chair still doesn't tip over!!!

The birthday gift arrived this morning and the wife likes it. She’s working long hours from home on the videogames you know and love, and she wanted something at home similar to what her studio provides at the office.

They pop up on the used market occasionally for <$1k. Oct 12 20 10:34 am Link |
