It has most of the ergonomics of an aeron but is $200. I have one at home and got work to buy me one. I like it quite a lot. You can also buy a headrest that screws  on.","subreddit_name":"BuyItForLife","author":"vailman"},{"body":"As everyone else has said, I definitely wouldn't recommend a gaming chair as their too expensive and not comfortable. I actually wouldn't recommend many \"gamer\" branded things in general, but I digress. \r\n\r\nI would recommend an ergonomic office chair, and look for one that allows you to sit straight up. My chair (linked at bottom) has a lot of adjustable levers and allows me to adjust the back piece forward enough where I am supported when gaming/coding. It varies per person but I have a tendency to lean over and have bad posture at the desk, so having a great office chair is really important and will save you in the long run from posture problems.\r\n\r\n[Link to my chair on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Alera-ALEEL41ME10B-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE/).

I did go with the simpler version of the one you posted (less adjustment knobs) and would suggest their high back version if you can afford it [HERE](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049UCECE/ref=sbl_dpx_B0049UCECE_0)\r\n\r\nI did end up moving to a Steelcase Leap V2 and would HIGHLY recommend getting a refurbished model from someone like Crandall as they offer a 12 year warranty on a really well refurbished chair.\r\n\r\nI understand if it's too expensive up front, but would still advise the high back version of the Alera as it was my biggest gripe (even with the height adjustability I figured out existed way too late into its life).\r\n\r\nEdit: The Alera was also HELLA squeaky compared to the Steelcase even after it was lubricated with a silicon based lubricant","subreddit_name":"AskBattlestations","author":"ThatSandwich"},{"body":"I just came and found this subreddit looking for similar info.  I'm just shy of 6'3\" with a disc herniation (repaired years ago but still gives me trouble) in lower back.

The seat height is 64 cm, which fit me perfectly.  Since it's my personal property,  I carry it from job to job.\r\n\r\nThis chair has an unusually high back and long seat.  It's made in Taiwan, of all places; a quick check on Amazon UK does not show it available there.  \r\n\r\nTry and office furniture stores that cater to City (yes, I realize you're 400 miles away from there) firms, this is the only other place I've been to other than Amsterdam and Sarajevo where I didn't feel unusually tall. \r\n\r\nBut, not to despair; most office chairs have a standard 50mm diameter seatpost, you can replace the stock seatpost with a longer one.","subreddit_name":"tall","author":"Lozerien"},{"body":"I got [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Alera-ALEEL41ME10B-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE) it’s very comfortable and it’s held up nicely.

I ended up getting [this computer chair](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049UCECE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) for my under $200 budget and I couldn't be happier with it. Hasn't degraded and still no creaking after 3 years of use, and EVERYTHING is adjustable. There is a mid back version for about 139 also. I'm not an expert but I think it's just about the best you can do for that price range.","subreddit_name":"Workspaces","author":"Astral_Blues"},{"body":"I was in the market for a chair about 6 months ago and it seemed to me like the options were;\r\n\r\n1) Find something on craigslist\r\n\r\n2) Buy something from a random Office Depot or Target or whatever\r\n\r\n3) Pay $300+ for a nice chair\r\n\r\n4) [Buy this chair on Amazon](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049UCECE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) (Edit: It was $150 when I bought it.. I swear)\r\n\r\nI went with #4. It's not a phenomenal chair, but it's pretty good. I've been using it for 6 months with little issue, it's comfy, it stays cool, it has a bunch of settings so you can tweak it to fit how you sit. I give it a solid 7/10.","subreddit_name":"buildapc","author":"Neverlife"},{"body":"I bought one of these for work and I loved it so much I bought one for home... https://www.amazon.com/Alera-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction-Chair/dp/B0049UCECE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1488903408\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=alera+elusion\r\n\r\nFor only $150 I feel like it gets close to the build quality of a $400 chair","subreddit_name":"battlestations","author":"FunkyAssMurphy"},{"body":"Hey! Nice to meet you, my name is Nick. I actually own a furniture company here in MA, 3rd generation to be in the business. The best chair I could recommend for long term gaming sessions would have to be the Alera High Back/Mesh Back chair. It's a little more than your price range, but you get every bang for your buck with this chair. We've been selling it for 15+ years, never had 1 complaint or issue as it's a chair that can easily last you 5+ years. Lockable back, seat, adjustable arms and back, up/down/forward/back seat adjustments. They also have a midback version which is typically about $100 less, but not as many adjustments in terms of being able to lock the back and seat in place.  \r\n\r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Alera-Elusion-Series-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE\r\n\r\nI've used the same chair for 7 years now going on 8 and have yet to have an issue.","subreddit_name":"buildapc","author":"Meadows2755"},{"body":"When I was looking for something comparable to the Herman Miller Aeron, I came across the Alera Elusion on Amazon. It has nearly as many adjustments as the Aeron. You can also get a headrest attachment for another $20. I don't own one, but it sounds like a good chair.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Alera-Elusion-Series-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE/","subreddit_name":"buildapc","author":"dr3amsINdigital"},{"body":"This [Alera Elusion $190.99](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049UCECE?psc=1\u0026amp;redirect=true\u0026amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00) is pretty awesome. I've been using it for a couple months now. I like that it's a fabric seat so my skinny ass doesn't slide off. The padding is very thick and I doubt it will wear out anytime soon. I bought some memory foam elbow rests because I didn't really like the hard rubber style that came with it. I also got some black fleece fabric to put on the back rest to make it a little more cushiony.\r\n\r\n","subreddit_name":"pcmasterrace","author":"frogmum"},{"body":"I bought one of these a couple of years ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049UCECE/ref=ox_sc_imb_mini_detail?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER\r\n\r\nI'm a very large guy, and so far it has held up incredibly well. It is very adjustable and very comfortable. Since your budget is well over the price of this chair I'm sure you'll want to go with something different, but I think this chair is really good for the price (~$180), so I just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone who is interested.","subreddit_name":"BuyItForLife","author":"NotTroy"}]}
