The one I'm using right now is pretty worn out and I really need to get a new one too. Mine has no arms on it, so I can scooch nice and close to my desk. I get so annoyed with most of the office chairs I've had because I can't get close enough and then I end up leaning forward and it's not great for my back.
I did just buy one for my youngest son for his birthday in March and it is super comfy. He loves it and I even borrowed it one weekend to test it out and I agree, very comfy! (even if it does have arms...
The main one we were looking at had arms that fold up...pretty cool feature. But yeah, all three of us have chairs with towels or blankets or something covering up a part that's broken lol. The chair I have was actually my dad's and he passed away 10 years ago, so it's pretty old and worn out.
Yep, I tend to slouch in the one I have and I really need to work on that!!
I need one with lumbar support!! That makes all the difference for me!
Actually, I could use one of those as well
Cool!! Thanks!! The one I have now is kind of like that, with the mesh back, but no lumbar support at all.
Mine is really similar and it was about the same price, which I thought was doable.
that might be the one that my hubby bought, I like it...but haven't actually sat in it long to enough to be "sold" on it.....tomorrow I work from home while he's gone I might just use it and see how I like it for a whole day
The last chair I bought was from Office Depot in 2017 and it's still going strong. Mine is mesh backed. Jay has a similar chair as well.
They were, in my opinion, very expensive BUT because of my chronic back issues, it was a must for me. My chair was actually marked with an incorrect price. At that time, the chair was supposed to be $399.99 (it's now $749.99!) but the paper tag said it was $279.91. Office Depot honored the price, so with taxes I paid $300. So I've been using it for five years. That's $60 a year, which is a very reasonable price for a chair I sit in very frequently with designing AND scrapping. My chair is still very comfortable and I'm having no issues with it, and highly recommend it.
Jay's purchase was an anniversary gift in 2018. He was going to get a standing desk. When he went to get the desk, the bin was mislabeled at $199.99 and the actual price was $499.99. They honored that lower price, so he decided to get a better chair. His chair was $399.99 (now $629.99!), but they had a sale, so he actually paid $260.00 for his chair. He ended up paying less for the desk and the chair than the desk alone would have cost. He was so pleased! LOL
I can't say enough about investing in a really good chair, especially if you are married to a desk with a desktop and two monitors (which is what I have as well). I also have a little footstool under my desk. I picked it up at an estate sale and it really helps to be able to put my feet up occasionally.
Here's the chairs in our den/office. I've also linked the photos below if you are interested in purchasing. Although I will say, it's incredible at the price increases just over the past few months.

This is the one we were looking at (different color). It seemed fairly comfortable, but I didn't sit in it long
