New Desk Chair

[nitrobass24]

Need a new chair for my home office.

Want an all Mesh chair cause it just seems that cloth/pleather/leather all get too hot and i sit in it for hours on end.

Want something with a high back, recline and height adjustment.

I have been to office depot and office max, but i cannot find anything that is all mesh.

Thanks

I saw a couple on sale at staples the other day. Not sure if they are something you'd like though
You can search for the mesh types at www.staples.com


Edit- Check this one out. Looks like it will keep you cool but your rear will probably look like it was on a barbecue lol

You don't list a budget....
My local craigslist had a bunch of herman miller chairs for under $400 I talked him down to $325 for a Mirra, He had Aerons too but I prefer the Mirra. Might want to check out CL and see if you have someone semi local selling high end chairs on the cheap.

You need to go shopping at business-class furniture stores, and not at places like Staples or Office Depot. Staples/Depot/etc may have stuff listed on their online store but they will not stock it locally to try.

As someone else asked, what is your budget? Mesh chairs start around $300 and they can exceed $1000. Mine is made by HON, IIRC and was $350 on sale.

Budget?

Does the seat need to be mesh, or would a breathable fabric suffice?

Some options to get you started on all mesh (all easily found used if cost is a factor):

Herman Miller Aeron
Herman Miller Mirra
Steelcase Think

Budget - $600
Would prefer a mesh seat.

Business class furniture stores - Im in Dallas, so im sure we have these, but are there any chains that i should look up?

The Mirra can be had for $600 new, but you'll be looking at the basic model which will have fewer adjustments: no adjustable lumbar, hand rests, or tilt (forward) limiter.

I believe that the Think is in the same general ballpark, although it will be more difficult to find at that price.

All good task chairs will have reclining and height adjustments, even in their most basic form.

The Herman Miller Sayl is also an option if you want additional adjustments as its base price is far lower than even the Mirra. (I believe that a fully adjustable Sayl may be had for ~$600). Its back is not as high as the other models, but I found that it still provides good upper back support when reclined.

Also, as always, task chairs are readily available used, and since the used chairs usually come from office environments, they are generally in very good condition. If you go for used, then you have your pick of nearly any task chair out there with your $600 budget.
