Default Best place to buy office furniture?

I'm in desperate need of a new chair and desk and was wondering what the best place to shop at was. I was browsing through Wal-Mart and found a chair I want, but no desk. Only places I know of are Target, Wal-Mart and Office Depot/Max.

Here is the chair I was looking at: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10996215

Same one but with a headrest: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ndingMethod=rr

If you guys know of some good ones that are in the sub $200 range (after tax/shipping), please link me.

depending on how much you want to spend. you can check officemax/depot, staples and other office supply stores. You can also check out furniture companies also such as pier 1, the room store, etc they have desks there although higher priced than target and walmart because they are higher quality.

You can also check places like unclaimed freight and unfinished furniture too.

I'm probably going to head down to Office Max today. I can't take this chair anymore, it's killing my back. I need to pick up some pens/paper for school anyways.
