chair for studying

[redmaple]

ok, i'm not sure where to post this, so i'll just post it here.

I'm looking for a good chair for studying/working on computer.
Would you recommend one of those leather executive chairs (http://www.xscargo.com/product.php?dept=Furniture&cat=Office&index=6&item=D8002) or those so-called student chairs (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=104%2C108%2C109,111&webid=479811&affixedcode=WW)? I mean, those executive chairs sure look more comfortable, but maybe there's a reason those student-chairs are called student-chairs....maybe they're made for student's needs? And for some reason, those non-leather chairs seem to be more expensive too.
I can't decide. Please enlighten me.

Also if you can, please recommend me a good comfortable chair that you're using right now.

there's one in costco for around $90 that's a desk/office chair with wheels. I've sat on it, in the store, and it's pretty darn comfy! Look on Costco.Ca and see if it's there.

Most student chairs are too stiff for me, but then again, that's just me. Definitely recommend those leather ones, they're generally a lot more comfortable (unless your workspace is by a window, and with the scorching sun nowadays...)

Have you considered a bean bag?

I've been thinking of that chair.

The leather executive chair looks kind of uncomfortable.

The student chairs are called that because they are the cheapest kind. same with the $30 student desks that the grocery stores sell this time of year.

I got a chair similar to the xscargo one from office depot (at twice the cost :P), mostly cause it's got a high back. Very comfy, I can lean back on it when watching movies. i'm pretty happy with it. I say, go into staples and sit in the chairs, that's what I did...

Unfortunately no, does sound comfortable however.

XSCargo is landfill material, dont' shop there unless you really want to waste your money. its not worth the investment.

How so?

My $200 stapes chair I just disassembled looks like the same construction as the $50 one.

You wanna explain yourself?

My GF bought this chair from IKEA which looks like nothing, but the angle at which you sit makes it incredibly comfortable. GO to ikea and try sitting on all the chairs...

The costco leather executive chair, 134.99 when i got it. Great chair.

i've known from past experiences of mine that they're shady when it comes to their products. i.e. the outdoor solar powered lights i bought off them last summer for 10/piece.........died out within a month of usage. basically they're usually what no one wants anymore hence the discounted prices.

I'd have to say buyer beware for XS cargo in general. But seriously, its a chair. Go to the store, sit in it, stand on it, try to break it, if it looks like it wont fall apart then buy it. No need to avoid them all together.

Anyone else see a slight resemblance?

I wouldn't avoid getting a "chair" from XS cargo. I bought one there last year for 94 bucks made by Samsonite and have no complaints about it at all. It is leather comfortable as the day I got it and has stood up to having me bash it around very well. The most important thing about any chair is that it fits the person buying it. The warranty from the chair manufacturer at XS cargo are the same as they are from Staples, Office Depot, or Ikea. In the case of my chair it is 10 years.
