    Computer Chair

    So I just destroyed my beloved chair after having it for quite a few years. It was one of those camping-type fold-up chairs, looked almost like this:

    http://www.germes-online.com/direct/...ping_Chair.jpg

    I'm considering getting another one, but I think I might want a regular computer chair~ I already use an exercise ball thing some of the time, and a regular chair other times (the camping chair made switching very easy lol.) But I think I want a computer chair so I can sit back, something really comfortable that isn't too expensive. We have the high-backed office chairs at work that are pretty comfy, but I don't think I can sit indian-style in them (I do that a lot and the arms would get in the way I think.) My camping chair's arms were placed wide, so they never got in the way.

    I was just hoping that perhaps you forum-goers would have ideas of nice chairs that were comfy and looked nice (the ball is weird and the camping chair was always out of place ). I'm hoping to have something that would look nice together with a new desk/PC setup that I'll be getting sometime in the near future (expect a thread for that, or me invading the tech forum with questions xD). Just wanted some ideas that I wouldnt think of that might persuade me from getting another camping chair (<3) or using the exercise ball full-time.

    Comfy has hell, reclines also. If you're lucky you can get it for $99.99 on sale in store.

    I have that chair Pikarya mentioned only in brown. It's so goddamn comfortable to sit in for hours, reclining is nice as well.

    Yeah mine is also in a dark brown/black with a bronze looking frame. I'm guessing the revised the colors to metal/black.

    Designed for moderate use: 3-5 hours.

    I need something designed for 18 hours of sitting on my fat ass.

    just go to staples/office depot and sit in the various ones there until you find something you like.

    Spend more than 100 bucks if you're planning on using it more than 3-4 hours per day.

    Oh and think twice about leather if your house is warm and/or you tend to have sweaty legs.

    http://www.alicepretchet.com/wp-cont...tane-chair.jpg I had one of these til the wheel base broke. They are amazing chairs but they're really hard to find now that AK designs went out of business.

    dont get something that has wood as part of the back or seat, get something with reinforced plastic, if you spend alot of time in your chair, or even just like to flop down in it without care then wood is your enemy and will eventually rip away from the screws holding it in place.

    I just use a normal Papasan chair for my computer chair. Awesome for curling up and taking a nap in between windows and such.

    Papasan and camping chairs sound terrible for computer usage. Were you just holding a laptop in your lap or something? I couldn't imagine using either at a desk.

    I'm quite fond of office seats that have the mesh backings so it can breathe, but again, I come from a location where every house doesn't have air conditioning built in.

    Some of those look way too constricting; I prefer a chair that I can move my ass around in after 12 hours online.
