Recommend me an office chair that's not $1000?
I'm 6'3" and 280lbs (yes, I could lose some weight I'm well aware) and in need of a chair for my home office. I had a Costco La-Z-Boy for the last two years or so and the gas canister has gone out and the armrests are shredded (cat got locked in one night). Rather than buy $200 chairs online I think it's nearing time for me to invest a little more in a proper chair. A few things about my habits:
-work from home 2x a week, roughly 9-10hr days
-gaming a few nights a week for 2hrs
-rest of the work week is spent in an Aeron at the office which is quite comfortable (or I'll use the standing desk)
-i like Higher-back chairs but would love a lumbar support
-on days I do work from home I do get up a few times a day to help feed baby lunch, do some dishes, etc so it's not as though I don't move at all for 9 hours
I've enjoyed the look of Libernovo but the smaller base is a discouraging factor. Steelcase series one or series two seem like they could be good options, but does anybody have any feedback? I'd prefer not to do a leather chair, but either mesh or cloth is fine.
