Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new chair for my set up. I'm looking for something completely black, something comfortable to sit in as many positions as possible (I sit in so many different ways) and preferably something that rocks as a hole, not just the back leaning back. I'm also not really willing to spend anything more than $200, preferably lower the cost the better of course. I'm a big fan of the racing chair designs, even though they don't rock back as a hole.. but anyways, what do you guys think? Thanks, as always! :)

I think skimping out on a chair is dumb. Especially since you use your chair more than any other piece of equipment, including your computer.

 

Unlike mice, the chairs don't really have a massive marketing budget. Most of the cost of a good chair does come from the materials. That is, you're really going to get what you pay for. And in a lot of cases, buying a cheaper alternative gets you the same overall look, but with shittier materials, basically making the whole thing pointless.

 

And it's not like you're going to be getting a new chair in 2 years. You're most likely going  to be using that chair for more than your computer.

 

And unlike your mouse or your keyboard or your headphones, getting a bad chair and using it for a prolonged time can actually properly fuck you up for a long, long time.
