Making yo' butt happy?
I'm in an author's group where someone posted about a chair she was really digging. Not just a chair, really, but an investment. So I went and looked it up on Amazon, and OMG IT'S MORE THAN $1K.
So this got me to thinking...how much of an investment IS a chair for someone who spends most of their life sitting in it?
A couple years ago I found a pretty fantastic chair at Office Depot--I think it was over $200 which was more than I'd normally pay, but really worth it. (I am sitting in it now. It's still fantastic.) I decided to buy another one for my second desk and was sad to see it was no longer available at the Office Depot website. Then I thought I found a cache of them on Amazon, only to order it and find out the next day it was out of stock and they'd refunded my payment. So I ordered a chair that looked the same, but ended up being nowhere near as supportive.
My sadly out-of-stock chair that I love:
I really dig the mesh back and bottom. Otherwise I get that awful stuck-to-the-chair feeling.
So given how many hours a day we all spend on our butts (and I am pretty sure I spend more time than most) how much would you pay for a chair?
(Plus I'm toying with the standing desk thing again lately...that's a perennial attempt at getting off my tush.)

Our chairs at work are ancient. I found a mesh chair similar to yours above, but in LIME GREEN. I'm so tempted to buy my own chair. And if it's Lime, no one can steal it from me, heh.
I'm trying out chairs as we speak! Couldn't help but reply to this :) also worth more than 1000€ so big investment! at least i can try them for about a week or so and make sure. I'm sitting on a 'knee chair' thing.... it balances and rocks, quite enjoy it actually. Also the lady at the shop made me aware i have to raise my screen much higher then i had it. ERgonomics, so important but often overseen. I'm an accountant so desk job & typing all day long. After a few years i do notice the strain on my body and i'm not even 40! So hell yeah invest in a decent chair...but i'm gonna look at slightly less pricy-er options too..i'm hoping to spend around 500-700€, hope you find a good fit!
