Well, I'll point out that the Aeron by Hermann Miller is really comfortable. And yes, I got it really cheap on a close out from the Salt Lake Olympics.. It holds up pretty well. Luckily I used to work with someone that sells these chairs (we were olympic mascots) so if there are problems I can get the replacement parts cheap. That is something nice about these chairs -- unlike the stuff I've bought at various warehouse clubs and office supply stores, these chairs are intended to be servicable. And for more then the model year that they were produced in. Novel concept. Anyway, if you can get the chair cheap I'd suggest it. Otherwise, well, I always make sure to have a fairly comfortable chair for those long hours spent at the bench working on boards.. One less distraction as the board is doing its best to piss you off.

I just get a secretaries chair from Office Depot. Be SURE to find one with decent bum padding...I got their cheapest, and one's but can get sore in an hour on that sucker...no armrests, they just get in the way.

Okay so I hurt my back the otherday again (using a wheelbarrow....) and it pointed out how pathetic my work bench chair is (hijacked dinning room chair).
So I'm looking for suggestions/ preferences.
Ideally something that swivels is good. Rolling isn't a must or necessarily desirable (carpeted floor). Back support & a comfortable seat are high priority.
Thanks, Kev
