New Chair?

Guest

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section. If it is, please move to off topic :) Thanks

 

I've been sitting on this 15 year old office chair for awhile now, and it didn't really seem to bother me. Of course, there were little things like uncomfortable arm rests, the squeakiness, the slightly tilted seat, etc.

 

But what's really bothering me is the fact that it does not help my posture whatsoever. No matter how hard I try to keep my back straight, the unreliable back rest never seems to help. Also, the chair likes to fall apart completely from time to time for no reason.

 

So, I'm finally looking for a new chair. I can't really afford a $400 ergonomic office chair with a neck rest and stuff, so try to keep the price down below $100 please :) I also live in Canada, and I can't pay for shipping so I would need something local, like from staples.ca or something like that.

 

What I'm looking for: A good, non-leather comfortable chair with soft armrests and a good, strong, high backrest.

 

Here's what I'm looking at right now (it's half price): http://www.staples.ca/en/Office-Star-Mesh-Multifunction-Task-Chair-Black/product_763026_2-CA_1_20001

 

Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

 

BTW, if you wanted to see my old chair.... here it is...

I say go to Staples and try and see what you like.  My staples here has like every single chair assembled in the back so you can try them all.  To hell what i recommend i say if you sit in it and you like it then buy it.
