Alright I'm thinking of going with this: http://www.amazon.com/Lorell-Executive-High-Back-Chair-Fabric/dp/B000Q5XTE8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
You guys think it's a good choice?

This is the one I bought (I got it for about $220 or less but there are coupons all the time at Office Depot):
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/510830/Realspace-PRO-Quantum-Mesh-Mid-Back/
It is really comfortable and allows me to have great posture due to the many adjustment settings. One thing in particular: The arm rests can be angled (like this // \\ ) and this makes it more ergonomic for typing and using the mouse. It is VERY similar to some of the more expensive chairs such as Herman Miller and Ergo-Human chairs.

I agree to this ^.

I too have the same chair and I couldn't be more happier with my decision. So much adjustments that its different from your normal staples/officedepot/officemax chairs. Its comparable to herman miller aeron's adjustments. I love how I don't have to lock the back seat in place, simply add tension to back seat tilt using the knob in the bottom and you can simply stretch your body by leaning back without unlocking and locking the back seat in place. And also love the build quality, it feels very expensive. Mesh is great for summer, I don't perspire any longer. After all these years of suffering, my dingalings down there are finally free of sweat.

Here's an image of my seat.

You really have to try those chairs in store before you go off with your purchase. Every person has different tastes and backbones. Aren't we all look different? Shape, Size, Weigh? =D

Wait for Staple to go on sales. Usually they have most of the chair 50% off. I've got mine for $110 ($200+ regular price).

I do not think that is a good choice. First off I've tried that chair at Staples and the adjustments aren't as helpful as the Realspace Quantum Pro above. Secondly the armrest on that feels and sound cheap unlike the hard sturdy thick steel and nicely cushioned arm rest on Realspace Quantum Pro. I've tried so many chairs at Office Depot and Staples that nothing compares with the functionality, durability, comfortability of RQP.

Yes I know but I simply don't have the time to drive to the nearest office depot, it's about 1 hour from where I live.

Hmm I might get the Realspace, it looks like the Herman miller too.

You will not be dissapointed with this chair. Look for discount coupon online and you may save a lil bit towards this purchase. Also I recommend buying the 2 year replacement warranty for $40. Because if it breaks within 2 years then they'll replace it without questions ask. If your 2 year replacement is about to expire then take advantage of their warranty and rip something or break something and they'll replace it still no question ask tongue.gif.

Edit: Just to let you know that I have spent so much time just shopping for a chair. I bought this RQP and Staples' Tempurpedic TP8000, but ended up returning the Staples chair because I prefer the back seat tilt with RQP. I don't wanna keep unlocking and locking the back tilt whenever i want to stretch. You could keep staples chair unlock but it doesn't have the tension adjustments of RQP which I love. RQP is a chair you set and forget which is perfect for task chairs can't afford to waste a few seconds readjusting and unlocking my seat just to stretch my back once in a while.

Guys... don't rip or break the chair. They will take it anyway, ask them... I used the warranty and returned a leather chair for cash back, no questions asked.

Oh so they didn't check the chair if anything was wrong with it?
I still haven't bought the chair yet
