Buy A Descent Office Chair Not This One By jb_shops on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
A long long time ago I setup my home office and probably like many of you I was scrapped for cash, so I tried to save some money and I bought a cheap chair. Well this is the classic case of, you-get-what-you-pay-for.
I laugh now when I see the chair advertised by OfficeMax. "Executive High Back Chair" If you invest in a company that has this chair for the executives, I would really really worry about the stability of the company!!!
What's good?
- High back
- Doesn't cost a fortune
- Five casters add some stability
- Fairly easy to adjust
What's not good?
- Light duty (not for everyday use)
- Limited lumbar support
- Arms cannot be adjusted
Conclusion:
- Buy something that matches your requirements! If you need a light duty inexpensive chair , you might consider it. But for almost everyone else, buy something that will be comfortable and last.

JB, glad to see you are back at 100%!! Too bad the chair you're stuck with isn't!!!
I need a new chair for my craft room. Mine sinks everytime I sit down and I feel like I am at the kids table. Thanks for the warnings on this one.
Good suggestions. I sit a while and test first. I have a chair now built out of two different types. Custom Webby deluxe!
I'll put your advice to use. My current "office chair" is an old kitchen chair. I need to go shopping!
