Our lab is going to be purchasing about 10 new office chairs to replace the old and decrepit ones currently in the lab. Our budget is something around $350 per chair up to maybe $400.
The PI of the lab is pretty much dead set on these ($350): http://www.csnofficefurniture.com/Herma ... L1053.html She has had some experiences with them before and thinks they are quite comfortable, but I think they look like cafeteria chairs and look horribly uncomfortable for long periods of office work. Anyone had any experience with these? I realize that the more expensive ones of the same brand name have quite a loyal following (Aeron chair), but within our price bracket, they don't really offer anything that looks like a nice office chair. The cheapest is something like $600...
I was looking at chairs which have more adjustments with mesh backings. Something like this ($200): http://www.everythingofficefurniture.co ... air-1.html or maybe this: http://www.csnofficefurniture.com/Offic ... T1320.html
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
