Default Recommend meh a chair

So whilst suping up the nursery for my desktop, i've been in the market for an office chair. The one I have now I bought off of my brother for 5 dollars. It's not bad, but the wheels are demolished, the leathers ripped, and the seat tilts to the right lol. So i'm looking for better. I thought I was good when I bought this

http://www.target.com/Puresoft-Execu...uresoft&page=1

i figured i'd give it a go for 90 dollars, but unfortunately it is terribly underwhelming. What irks me is they expect you to just put the gas lift in a hole in the wheelbase with nothing locking it in, then the same for the seat base. so essentially you have the rod between the seat and wheels being held by them by nothing, so if you were to lift it, it would come apart. the construction quality also wasn't good either. while tilting or spinning, i would hear clicks or whatever from the plastic. Not good. I'm going to return this tomorrow and continue my search. Do any of you guys have suggestions for the 100-200 range? The only other chair I'm contemplating is the Ikea Markus. My brother has it and it's pretty comfy. weird looking, but comfy.


It's a shame though, that target chair's faux leather was really soft and plush too :/

This is a nice one I've sat in this at the store and felt so comfortable Link: HERE

My chair was around $350, but I have to say it was the best $350 I've ever spent and I've had it for 5 or 6 years now. Very sturdy and also very comfortable. I know it's more expensive than you wanted but the metal (not plastic) construction and three point tilt really let you know where that money went.

Bought it 2 years ago. It's in excellent condition. Mine was the $80 intro price, though.
VERY comfy!

I personally would avoid a leather chair. They aren't as comfortable for sitting in for hours.

The E Z chair is the most comfortable chair I ever bought. I highly recommend it. Good leather.

Best chair ever. I have two of them and they are more comfortable than a sofa.

I bought a chair 4 years ago for $180. It's really really worth it to invest in a good computer chair if your going to be using it alot. I love my chair it's still amazing to this day.

+ Get elbow rests.
+ Get a headrest.
+ Get cloth.
+ Get it on wheels.
+ Get it black.
