    I splurged on a NeueChair shipped from SecretLabs as they were doing a sale last year and I really hate the racecar style chairs. It's the most comfortable thing and doesn't look out of place in the "office" part of my loft.

    Having the controls on the armrests for recline and height is an absolute revelation, and this thing is sturdy.

    How much adjustment do the armrests themselves have? It looks like you can raise and lower the rest surface, but are the arms able to be moved forward and back or left to right at all?

    You can move them up and down and then swivel them into three positions (pointed in, straight forwards and pointed out). Also, they're mounted on a slight angle so the higher they go the more forwards they are, but that's about all the adjustment you can do on the armrests

    Thanks. I hadn't looked at that chair before, but it seems pretty solid and I'm in the market for one.

    Found this buried in their website, it actually has a good deal more adjustment than I realized. I think I'll pull the trigger on this one

    ok hot shots, whats your idea of what a tasteful office chair looks like

    FjhVNlw.jpg

    has tons of character
    shows you take charge of your own solutions and aren't bound by convention
    leaves you on a fun, radical new viewing angle and adds some unpredictability to an otherwise boring office job
    unlikely to be "borrowed" by co-workers or office looters
    additional goodies in the mystery bag! could they be leaves? used tissue papers? the possibilities are endless!

    My work office chair was $54 from Staples, because my office is tiny and I don't have enough room to have arm rests with all the physical moving around of things that I do.

    I absolutely love it. I ended up buying it because my last chair was made of plastic and ended up warping under me sitting on it for 3 years, so by the end of its days it was giving me shooting pains in my shoulders and other weird pains in odd places

    Now if anything starts hurting I know it's because my son has moved something whilst I wasn't looking so I just need to adjust the arm / seat / back / tension. It weighs a lot

    brand new aerons are not 2400 bucks, and I can get a used good condition aeron for the same price as that

    BUT, if they're reasonably comparable, that warranty is extremely nice
