Anyone got a terrific office chair that you sit in for PP and would highly recommend?


Cheers,

Not sure I've ever pee'd in a chair. Such an odd request.

Hey, that's the strongest selling point for a good tablet; do your photo editing in the bathroom.

I saw one of these at Photoshop expo a few years back and tried it out. I bought one and love it, have had it for 2.5 years now. It's comfy for 12 hour days and very adjustable. It's called a swing chair. http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=6i2GYUSZ5_M (external link)

You can get them without a head restraint.

Seriously if you want the best chair for you then you should go to an office supply store (OfficeMax, Staples, Office Depot) and try them out. You should not just sit in them briefly but spend some time moving around in them, adjusting them through all their positions and pick the one that works the best for you. Allow lots of time. My wife bought me a chair for my birthday a few years back and after trying all the chairs on display at Office Depot selected the one she thought was the best. After using it for a week I had to confess to her that I HATED it. That chair became hers and I went and picked one for myself. Now we are both happy.

It's kind of like the question: Which is better, boxers or briefs?:-)

Don't have a chair, I use a standing desk.

Good question, as I'm in the market for a chair myself. I'd say adjustabel lumbar support is a plus.

Yes, Herman Miller makes a great chair. But I don't know why they are so expensive.

One of my co-worker has this chair. I sat in it and found it to be uncomfortable.

U.S. made. Stellar warranty. Not 1-year-landfill overseas crap. ;)

A mere 2 page warranty that's actually in legible English --- like hen's teeth inside a bottle made out of unicorn horn.

They're adjustable and come in different sizes. It's like trying on a women's size 6 stiletto if you're a men's size 11.

Even used they can go for $400-500.
