Allright so I just broke yet another desk chair lol


Anyways im looking to get a new one. Im looking to spend less than 200 bucks and it has to be solidly built (6ft 300lbs so yeah...) Anyways

Im not a fan of those mesh ones. So we are looking at leather and other materials. I prefer metal legs since thats how the first chair went...

Anyways what are some good brands for the sub $200 category and where can i find them (i want to go to a store and sit in them and see if I actually like them.

I know I could jsut go to office max and sit in them there but i want some members experiences with good chairs.
 
Your best bet is to find a local office supply store around. I've found they usually have a better selection of chairs and better quality than many of the office supply chain stores. That's how I nabbed my current chair. I've had it for 5 years and it still looks brand new. It cost me close to $200 but it has been worth every penny.

At least you have the right idea. Go to the store and try the chairs out. That's going to be the best way to find one that will suit you and do not compromise because of price unless you're looking at something way out of your budget. Just like a monitor, keyboard and mouse, the chair is going to be something you will likely keep for a while and is one of your primary "tools" to be used for hours at a time.

I have my computer in my living room and I spend most of my time in my computer chair even if I'm not using the computer because it's very comfortable.

 
I'm quite happy with my Lane microfiber chair. It's way way better than any generic brand one I've ever had.
 
Many office supply stores will lend out chairs for you to try, and they can even give you some suggestions according to your height/weight. However, those chairs are typically in the $300-$800+ range.
 
If the chair is good I have no problem paying the 300 but i have to find one of those places first...
