Kanner Architects chair?? it looks an awful lot like a steelcase chair. is there some mistake?
Which one is the best ergonomically? I would love a beautiful chair but I have to have something that won't kill my back...any suggestions?
The Aeron chair is still the most comfortable thing 've ever sat in. Super customizable so how ever you ride you can make it work. My office was stocked with cheapie $99 Staples chairs that resulted in chronic neck/shoulder pain so I finally decided to step it up and bring in my own chair and boom just like that I'm feeling great. I got my Aeron used on craigslist for $280 and it was the best money I've ever spent.
#5 not the management (high-back) version of the chair, just the standard low-back. #8 is the same case, not the management version.
I use #1 at work! It's not a bad chair but we work 10-12 hours days and I noticed many people, myself as well, have a small pillow for the lower back area.
One of my co-workers actaully sits on a Yoga ball and I have a kneeling chair I switch to once I need a change of position.
