New or used??
I'm in the market for one after I leaned back and busted a wheel, and then modified it and busted now 2 wheels. Now I have a plank under it just to keep it leveled. I want to be comfy as fuck and I want the option to lean back comfortablely. My current chair was an add on to a desk I bought it's shitty and was just using it temporarily. Now I have to buy a new chair

No more than $100. I've been satisfied with $40 chairs.

I spend like 150 on my Serta Computer Chair. It was half off during black friday 2 years ago. I'd keep a eye out over the next 2 months for deals and not get anything til black friday time.

I dropped like 800 on mine. It's a Herman miller aeron. Best money I ever spent.

Whatever you get, make something its something that encourages good posture. Don't be slumped over/slouching if you can help it... your back will thank you in 30 years :P

Spent $10 on a butt pad. Bought chair for $5 at a garage sale.

$800? Lol. Learn to save better and retire (if u havent already).

while i agree with H about saving better, if you spend 8 hours a day in your home office/work sitting, an aeron chair is an investment towards your health/posture if you can afford it

My father in law gave me the captain seat out of an old Pontiac Montana he sold and it's fucking UNREAL. I mounted it onto some boards so it stands about 8" higher. Doesn't swivel but does he some solid lumbar support.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

rofl I have always thought about doing something like this with a drivers seat that had motorized adjustment, would be epic.

I went through $75 chair after chair for years, until I finally said fuck it I'll buy the aeron. Five years later it's still supporting my fat ass with zero issues and no scotch tape.

Same here, I ended up destroying a lot of the cheaper chairs I went for. I used a folding chair for a bit, and then a recliner, but I ended up getting back pain from the lack of support so I decided instead of messing with pillows I would just get a decent chair. Settled on the Aeron with a lifetime warranty, I have used it for 5 or 6 years now and it is great. It's the best chair I've ever had and I spend a lot of time in front of the computer for my job.

This is exactly what I have.

And I hate it. I found out after that I just don't like tall chairs.
