When I retired from work, they let me take my Aeron chair with me for just $40; a bargain that I appreciate every day that I work at my home office. : )
I'm tempted to say, "so what?". Aeron, Leap, Chadwick, HAG Capisco - none were even close to making my budget for this year. I bought a yoga ball after a few days in a cheap chair made my back and joints cry. I suspect I achieved most of the goals you, and many commenters, had, at a cost under $20 (Target had them on clearance when I shopped). I feel much better, and I, too, have an ugly chair.
Besides a good chair, I am sooo happy I invested in a desk that is (electronically) in height adjustable: http://milk.dk (and yes, it looks wicked too!)
By far the best investment ever and it should give me a couple of extra life credits, as I stand 3 to 4 hours behind my desk on a daily basis ...
It's a great chair, amongst many in that price-category. I like the elegance (and roots) of Vitra's latest Physix desk chair.
About the same time John started DF, I started prototyping my ScooterDesk, and 2 years later brought it to market. The key idea behind its inception is more valid today then ever: Sitting all day isn't good for you: The ScooterDesk offers 'seated-standing' as one of the modes you should switch between during the day.
Same here. I've had different Aeron chairs at home and at work for the past 15 years but in terms of adjustments and comfort, they clearly don't compare to the Steelcase Leap. The Leap's armrest are way better and its ability to recline, stay in place and come back to its original position makes the Aeron look like a stiff piece of junk.

I've never sat in a Chadwick, but I use an Aeron every day and I love it. I'm not surprised at all to hear that the Chadwick impresses.

I've had a Chadwick chair at work for the last 3.5 years. I love it.

If you're that tall, you would need the equivalent of an Æron Size C. Is that what you got?

Cheers to any effort to sitting "healthier" since you spend so much time there. Now, maybe the ScooterDesk is worth investigating for the future.

Awwww, mom! My friends are watching. Sheesh.

I've felt so much better since I switched to standing while working. It's a rough adjustment for the first week but it's totally worth it.

Nice display picture!

Check out the HAG Capisco chair. I prefer it to any Aeron.

I went with the Steelcase Leap - highly adjustable, very comfortable and built well.

I'm jealous. I guess I need a day job. ;)
