Hello Freepers, I am looking to buy a new office chair and was looking for recommendations/suggestions, and endorsements. Advice about chairs to avoid is welcome too. I don't have any odd requirements to speak of. I just want a chair that swivels, rocks and has some height adjustment. I am about 6'3", and weigh 207 lbs so I'd probably want a "big/tall" version.Obviously I want comfort and good ergonomics. I posted this in the "computer" topic because I figured those of you computer guys/gals that spend copious amounts of time in front of a machine would have unique knowledge. Also, suggestions on good sources for purchase welcome too as out here in the woods the only options are Office Depot, and other chain stores. I'd like to keep the budget around $500 or less.
Thanks in advance for your help
Herman Miller Aeron. Hands down!

Ahh, thanks for the ping moose. I am using an antique solid oak bankers swivel chair with padded leather seat. Wouldn’t change it for anything. Some of those new chairs look like ‘mesh and wire’, lol, but I’m sure they’re comfortable.
Hi Potlatch,
You are right about the mesh chairs, they are awful.
The mesh rips off the back from the top, ugh.
If you goollgle ‘ The Emperor 200’ ,that looks gooooood. :)
Wow, yeah, and I’ll bet ‘shower’, food dispenser and automatic ‘sweet dreams’ are all incorporated into that too!! hehehe...
