heres the chair i was talking about. black friday price was 100$ (was at the store, i dunno if they do sale on the website)

(Serta recliner/chair hybrid)

That's the one I want to get. I went into the store and sat in it, but it was listed for the full $300 price and I wasn't gonna pay that... waiting for it to go on sale.

I've read questionable reviews about it though. People seem to have problems with the hydraulic height adjuster giving out and lowering on them as they sit in it... but I suspect a lot of people having that problem are pretty damn heavy.

For the price I would hope it's durable... I've had much cheaper chairs last for years with an occasional tightening of the hex bolts.

May have to be "that sucker" who pays full price.

There are two very different classes of chair being discussed here. The cheap brands in Staples and Office Max have very limited life spans--typically less than five years.

High end chairs like the Herman Miller Aeron and the Steelcase Gesture are not $500, they're about $1,000. They're also worth every penny. I had my first Herman Miller for 13 years and it took rampant abuse to finally break it. Ignoring the difference in quality and comfort, the cost per use is lower on a high end chair than on the disposable furniture at your local big box office supply store.

The only real question is whether you want to shell out a lot of cash right now or bleed it out slowly every year or two after sitting in a broken chair for a couple months.

You're a retard if you throw down $500 on some overpriced executive chair from Staples. The most ergonomic chairs are those low-back, basic office chairs that look like this
