I got this chair from Costco for 100 bucks and really like it. Prior to this chair I spent nearly 600 on a very high end chair. At the end of the day, it wasn’t a whole lot more comfortable.

Thanks. That’s the chair I have, but couldn’t find any identification markings on it. And only $70!

My SO owns a commercial furniture dealership. There is a big difference between Office Depot and a commercial chair. If you're going commercial, don't buy at list price. Go through a dealer if possible.

Go to Office Depot and be done with it. I spend hours on end in this thing comfortably.

I have the Steelcase Gesture, which I admittedly chose over the Leap only because I liked the look better. The Aeron chair was in the mix too but in recognition of the fact that my natural WFH state is pantsless I decided against a mesh chair in the end.

Disclaimer: ergonomic chairs may be somewhat wasted on me for the most part as years of piano keep my back upright and straight while I’m working (I’d say a sit-stand desk or laptop/monitor stand that places the screen at an appropriate height are more valuable for me), but it is quite comfortable to lean back in.

I’m 100% with IBM2. Costco, $100, best chair I’ve had.

@IBM2 - is that the Akera Etros swivel chair?

Bungee cord chair from The Container Store. Have had for 6 years and super comfy and cheap

I have a standing desk and use a giant stability ball when I want to sit at the lower height - has worked better for me than any office chair for sitting long hours and stores easily under the desk when I’m standing

Love my steelcase gesture! Upgraded from an Office Depot $60 chair and it was worth it.

Steelcase leap for me

Get the aero. I spent about $1200 on one and have had it for $5 years.

The HM and Steelcase chairs are nicer that the Costco one but no where near 10+ times as nice. Maybe 1.2 times as nice.

@PWC - 20% nicer? Lol
@IBM - and by a dealer you mean? I saw a brand new 2015 loaded aeron on Craigslist for 400, was going to try and snag for 300. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
