Where to get a high quality office chair on the cheap?

Your back will get cold. Don't say I didn't warn you

nah, not if you put some gaffer on it..still get the bouciness of mesh but draught-free and these days gaffer comes in all sorts of colours as well as classic silver..i like a metalic look to the office especially one that mimics WW2 aeroplanes

Up to a hundred quid for a *really* good chair. The chair pictured costs around £300, but they can go waaay up from there!

The Herman Miller stuff really is the bollocks. People at work who are expected to remain seated for extended periods of time get given them - they really do make the difference.

300 quid may seem like a fucking shitload to spend on a chair (because it is a fucking shitload to spend on a chair), but your back will thank you for it later, and you'll probably never have to buy another one (you can actually get spares for the Aeron series, at least).

Actually, in the summer, the mesh is quite nice, since it doesn't get all sweaty and horrible.

I've just ordered an Aeron - used but as new, apparently.

The thing I've learnt that these puppies are so much in demand that it's nigh on impossible to get anyone to shift on price. I've tried hustling but no fucker would shift their price downwards and I got fed up seeing ebay bids fly up over £400, so I gave in and got one for £360.

It's the most I've ever paid for a chair but it's got to be better than a fucked up back.

Looking forward to a non-sweaty back too!
