well, a desk chair.

i need one, and am not sure if it matters if i spend extra money or not. like i can go to wallmart and probably get something cheap and serviceable, but should i?

i can afford to spend more if i have to, but do i?

It's becoming more and more evident to me that it's most likely well worth it to spend the extra for a good chair. I'm thinking of getting an Aeron or similar. I can't have (m)any more nights like last night at the poker table, though, if I'm going to spend that kind of cash on a chair. I couldn't believe what was happening. So as not to have too much poker content, and worse yet, bad beat stories, I'll just leave it to you to imagine a bunch of ridiculous bad beats and chances are they all happened to me last night.

Anyway, office chairs. I'm more and more for the expensive good ones every day.

Me, I'm comfortable in many chairs. However, I find that most people, especially those in their chairs for long periods at a time prefer more comfort. If you can get something decent that you think that you could spend 8 hours in a row in at walmart, then get that. However, if not, look elsewhere.

Never skimp on the office chair, your ass is it 6hours + a day and you should be comfortable. Just make sure it is big and soft.

Yeah dude, it's worth it to spend a lot on a chair. I got a decent one but an Aeron's one of my next purchases.

I got a fine leather (fake?) at Office Depot for <$100. Rolls and everything.

I'd advise against an Aeron chair. They're really not that comfortable. There are way more comfortable chairs for a lot cheaper price IMHO. This site pretty much sums it up:

I'll add to that, the armrests are constantly falling down.

Yeah, I saw that site - thanks for the tip. I'm not in love with the aeron, but was just interested in checking them out, as well as some other high-quality chairs. I'm sick of the OfficeMax chairs.

Well FWIW my current chair is very comfy. It's a Leap chair apparently.
