I finally bought an office chair. We have been using dining chairs and for people who make their living working on a computer this is not an acceptable arrangement. Our list of priorities go something like this:

1. Price Range $400-$600
2. Comfort
3. Aesthetic

It sounds sort of silly but this has been the hardest decision. I look at it as an investment but I didn’t want to spend towards the high end of the range unless it was the perfect chair. I know everyone raves about the Herman Miller chairs but I’ve used them at work and while comfortable I never thought they were very esthetically pleasing. I love the Eames Aluminum Management Series {especially the high back one} but $1200 was a little too much for me to pay for the original {someday, but not now.} Conundrum!

I researched all the knock-offs and finally decided on this Eames knock off for $350 {including shipping.} If it is remotely as comfortable as the original then we’ll be in luck. Otherwise we’ll have to return it and I’ll be back to square one.
