Hey guys, in the market for a good quality computer/office chair that I can sit on for length periods of time with minimal discomfort.. Just wondering if anyone knows of any stores in Brisbane that have a good range??

You're rich right? Get one of these.

Seeing as he's rich he can get me one while he's at it.

I'm only looking to spend no more than $300 or so...

Aeron or bust

My officeworks chinese leather special is now some 12 year old .... and still going strong.

Whatever you get, just stick a sheepskin on it for epic comfort

stick some honey on it for epic crumpet.

Yeah, I stretched my budget and got an Aeron recently when I was in the market for a new chair, and thank f*** I did, most awesome chair ever.

QFT. best chair ever. 12 year warranty. well worth the dollars.

Buy an Aeron - figure out how much money you spend on your car over 12 years and how much time you spend in it per day, then compare that to how much time you'll spend in your chair every day over the same amount of time. it seems expensive but over 12 years its nothing, and your back and body in general will thank you for it. Go try one at at the place they sell them first of course, but they're worth it.

So that's what they're called. Used one a while back at a place I worked for and they were damn confortable compared to other office chars I'd used. Never knew what they were called though.

Seems the Aerons sell for about $1400-$1500 here in Australia. Damn sight cheaper on ebay though. So.. try one at the store and find out which size you want then buy it off ebay (about $850 USD inc shipping) ? ;)

still sitting in an old 80's executive chair I got from some dodgy auction place.


the cat has picked the seat to bits though =(

damn $1500 for the aeron? was hoping to get one someday but i doubt i will now.

ebay -$900

f*** that n*****s. I got a 90 buck 'leather' chair from office works and its THA SHIZ. Everyone comes over and they are like 'sweet chair aye' im like 'only 90 bucks aye cuz'.

Arm rests, lean back, and everything.

Have this at work, we have Aeron's too, but I like this more!

Just a heads up: half the people who usually suggest an "Aeron chair" are probably referring to a different Herman Miller model than those in the actual Aeron range.

I'm sitting on a Celle at the moment, fkn comfortable. Only problem is the material used for the seating section makes my clothes and skin smell.

My computer desk costed me $99... and it came with a free chair.

My back is completely f***ed.

voting for the $90 plasticy chair with arm rests and WHEELS

i weight a f***ton, yet the chair is still as comfy and unbroken as the day i bought it (from target)

had it 5 years, doesnt look like quitting anytime soon

$90 > $900

If you're only gonna sit on it for a couple of hours a day I wouldn't get those super expensive chairs, but if you gonna sit on yo ass for 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, then I'd say pay a bit more and spend at least ~500 for something decent or bite the bullet and get one of those uber chairs.

I got my chair from http://www.sitbackandrelax.com.au/ They are in Sydney so I just headed over, tried out the different sizes of the Aeron to see which one I needed and went home and ordered it.

Took a few days to turn up and it was all done.

When it comes to your back you really don't want to be cheap. Also, if you use your computer/desk for work you can depreciate the chair over a few years in your tax return.
