I badly need a new chair.
I put the thumbnail chair there just for fun. It's called the Vantum and it's ~$700. I don't need a Cadillac chair. A Honda is more than adequate. I just don't know what that'll cost.
- What's the absolute minimum you'd spend to get a Honda chair? $100? $200? More?
- What brands have the best reputations?
- What brands should be avoided?
- What questions am I forgetting to ask?

The cough backstory
The plain-old desk chair I bought just 14 months ago already has a serious crack. I noticed it today. I don't think it can be repaired. Plus the crack will expand making the chair worthless. It's just a question of how fast. Worst of all - could the chair collapse all-of-the-sudden sending me crashing to the floor?
Before I bought it I avoided the cheapest chairs. I spent a bit more - $80 - in hopes the damn chair would last at least a couple years. So much for that!
I'll consider it. I like the $100 price point and Amazon and Walmart sell tons of crap and I don't believe the ratings and reviews. The Amazon chair that I have now was ~$80. I just checked and it has 4.3 stars with ~31,000 ratings. That info has gotta be total bullshit.
That sounds great.
For anybody reading this... I spent $15 on a donut-shaped memory foam cushion. For the price - it was one of the best purchases I ever made. I have lower back issues but for anybody it makes a cheap chair much more comfortable. Plus - of course - you can still use it after you toss your chair.
