there's one in costco for around $90 that's a desk/office chair with wheels. I've sat on it, in the store, and it's pretty darn comfy! Look on Costco.Ca and see if it's there.

chair for studying
ok, i'm not sure where to post this, so i'll just post it here.
I'm looking for a good chair for studying/working on computer.
Would you recommend one of those leather executive chairs or those so-called student chairs? I mean, those executive chairs sure look more comfortable, but maybe there's a reason those student-chairs are called student-chairs....maybe they're made for student's needs? And for some reason, those non-leather chairs seem to be more expensive too.
I can't decide. Please enlighten me.
Also if you can, please recommend me a good comfortable chair that you're using right now.

Most student chairs are too stiff for me, but then again, that's just me. Definitely recommend those leather ones, they're generally a lot more comfortable (unless your workspace is by a window, and with the scorching sun nowadays...)

I've been thinking of that chair.
The leather executive chair looks kind of uncomfortable.
The student chairs are called that because they are the cheapest kind. same with the $30 student desks that the grocery stores sell this time of year._______________

I got a chair similar to the xscargo one from office depot (at twice the cost :P), mostly cause it's got a high back. Very comfy, I can lean back on it when watching movies. i'm pretty happy with it. I say, go into staples and sit in the chairs, that's what I did...

Aug 1st, 2006 06:39 PM #12My GF bought this chair from IKEA which looks like nothing, but the angle at which you sit makes it incredibly comfortable. GO to ikea and try sitting on all the chairs...

i've known from past experiences of mine that they're shady when it comes to their products. i.e. the outdoor solar powered lights i bought off them last summer for 10/piece.........died out within a month of usage. basically they're usually what no one wants anymore hence the discounted prices.
refer to this thread for more info: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/s...cargo+landfill
