I bought a sweet chair from them for just $40, on sale and all. Staples is cool as long as you don't mind the style of the chair. Of course the best ones, if your lucky, are at the salvation army. I think I furnished most of my place by shopping at the salvation army :D

Hmmm....Salvation Army, eh? I should give that a try.

The problem I have with office chairs is that I don't like wheels. I'm short so I need to rest my feet on a box when I'm sitting at my desk, but if the chair has wheels I spend all day pulling myself back to the desk.

My chair is a Staples chair. When I started working more out of the house, I had two upgrade requirements. Better processor and bigger hard drive? Nope. A window air conditioner (it was warmer weather) and a new chair.

Up until then, my chairs had always been in the "college decorative" mold, meaning, whatever I could get my hands on without paying for it. First it was some old kitchen chair ("I'm not spending money on a chair to use at a desk!") and it got upgraded along the way to more "real" office furniture, but still stuff that I got as hand-me-downs or when people were getting rid of their old chairs.

I decided I had earned the right to feel comfortable while I sit and work (I can totally understand your need to place a pillow on that chair!). So I saw an ad for a Staples chair that was on sale and made the trip. I still bought a relatively cheap chair, because I still have a little bit of that "a chair's a chair" mentality. But it serves me well and it spins around and tilts back. So I can kick my feet up on the desk and prentend I'm an important executive when I take phone calls. ;-)
