Esta silla de Amazon Basics es la mejor silla que he tenido para el trabajo. A mi comúnmente me duele la espalda por estar sentado, y esta es en la que más tiempo aguanto sin problemas.

It’s a basic office chair from amazon. It’s not the most comfortable, but it does the job for me.

I have an Amazon Basics chair; specifically, an older version of this chair. It was pretty decent for... I dunno, 9-12 months? I'm only 5'8" and 125lbs, and a bit over a year later, I'm essentially sitting on metal. I do sit in the chair for 10+ hours per day, so some wear is expected, but it's become intolerable. Additionally, the arm pads are also down to the metal now, and the right armrest sags significantly due to the weight I've applied to it - I'd say it sits a full inch below the left one at this point. Honestly, the reason I'm on this sub right now is to research a replacement.

To summarize, it was acceptably comfortable for a little under a year, but don't expect to get any real mileage out of it.

No lie OP, dm me if you want a new office chair you can setup a amazon wish list or something or I can ship straight to you.

We use these at my office and they're pretty nice would be happy to get one to you. With all the time we're spending on computers and working from home lately it's nice to have a new chair.

This really depends on the type of art she usually does. For example, I work standing at an easel a lot of the time but if I do colored pencil work I usually sit at a flat table. If you could give some ideas of what she usually does that would help.

Yeah, look at an ikea markus or a staples hyken, you should be able to get either for ~100. If you want a chair to last, look at surplus furniture supply for used steelcase leap or a herman miller aeron (would probably be over 200 though!)

Or just get one of these for 65 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IIFW2L4/?tag=officechairs08-20

Me to my wife: Can I have an Aeron chair?

My wife: no we have aeron chairs at home.

Based on a true story

For 65$, you can't go wrong with the amazon basic mesh back.. something something office chair.

I liked mine so much, I bought one for my mom. After over a year, I've yet to have an issue with it.

Bought second hand off of kijiji 💀💀💀

It's a decent chair, easy to clean/move, not adjustable, but 👍

The second option is around 200 USD. I did find a much cheaper alternative, although it doesn't seem to have as much quality.

I have this chair from Amazon. It’s not the most amazing desk chair, but it is cheap and comfortable enough for my uses.

Staples usually has some demo chairs out, I'd go and test them. Some of them are their own store brands are relatively cheap and blatant copies of high end brands.

Currently using this cheap chair from amazon, it hurts my back like hell after sitting for more than a hour. Would this be a decent upgrade?

This is the chair I have.

Is that enough info? If needed I can measure the cylinder external sizes later, when I get the chance.

It is! It's just a normal office chair from Amazon, link

I would suggest avoiding anything made with pleather/faux/synthetic leather. It eventually starts peeling off. (I believe the problem is it sticks to skin and gets pulled off.) The Ikea MILLBERGET would be perfect if it went with a cloth/fabric upholstery instead of pleather.

Mesh chairs are probably the most common type. Here's one from Amazon.

Cloth/microfiber covered chairs seem less common, but here's one.

I don't have any experience with these particular models, so don't take it as a necessary recommendation.

I occasionally take a look at Wayfair since it does have a decent search system (search by build material/upholstery). You'll see many of the same chairs at other sites/stores, but it's a decent way to get an idea of what's out there.

I have this chair from Amazon, works great for me and isn’t super expensive.

AmazonBasics Mesh Chair

cheap, but it works

I have a basic computer chair that my friend gave me 2-3 years ago. I've used it a lot in the time, and have also put on some weight. I'm currently around 210lbs and the chair isn't exactly holding me up anymore. On occasion the chair will drop slightly before stopping.

I assume it's because I've gained weight and while I'm working on losing it, I am not opposed to a new chair.

I have found two Amazon Basics ones that are right near my weight capacity. Mesh and Faux Leather. Obviously they're nothing special, but I'm okay with that.

Alternatively I could stretch my budget to upgrade to one of these Alera chairs. Mesh, Leather.

Anyone have any thoughts or any suggestions?

Edit: The Alera Mesh one seems to be recommended often. Highly considering that.

I use this chair
I used a wooden kitchen chair for 8 years before getting this one

What about their mid-back chair?

Depends on what affordable is, I narrowed my choice of under $75 down to Ikea Milberget & amazon basics. Ended up going with amazon cause I like the breathability of mesh and have no regrets. PS get an amazon warehouse "very good" one if you do choose this, will save another $10 for what amounts to basically open box

I use mid back mesh chair when I work from home . Very comfortable .

I have no idea how long the sale is. I just finished assembling it. The elbow rests are height adjustable, the regular chair height adjuster, and there's a 2 way switch for reclining the chair (1 way is no recline, another way is to fully recline). Lumbar support isnt adjustable, but still solid. Neck rest is nice, but I find myself having to slouch a little or lean back to use it. If I sit up straight I don't naturally hit it.

I like it a lot, it's much better than the Amazon Basics mesh chair and even this chair I'm upgrading from.

Edit: lumbar support IS adjustable, my bad

Not either of those but I have one of the other Amazon Basics chairs

Works fine, not uncomfortable, yet it doesnt feel nearly as well put together as my $800 Steelcase chair at work.

This is also a popular "expanded budget" chair

I have this and it's worked great for 2 years AmazonBasics Mid-Back Mesh Chair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IIFW2L4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BzFtyb64YACFD

I have had the AmazonBasics Mid-Back Mesh Chair for about a month now and I love it.
