I broke my office cahir again last week, obviously my welding is'nt as good as i thought!
I could weld it back together again, but since i'm sitting on two boxes at the moment, I really need to get a new chair pronto, cos my arse is starting to ache!
Any idea, needs to be a good chair as i have had back problems in the past.

I have a HAG H05 - This was designed by the same person who designed the original kneel down type back chairs but is a proper chair. It is the most comfortable office chair i have ever come across. Not cheap though - retail about £600ish

Just had a quick look and see that mine is the H05 5500 with the optional headrest.
Worth every penney to my mind.
There was also someone who was posting about racing seat type chairs the other day that looked nice, even if they were from chavgos

I'm not a lawyer!
Point taken but if you have to spend at least 40 hours a week sitting on it...
Hate to sound like that cheap shoes advert that was on a year or so ago but IMHO you don't EVER stint on the following:-
1. Car servicing
2. Shoes you wear everyday
3. Sunglasses/normal glasses
4. Your bed
5. ICE/HiFi
I'm sure there are other things that I can't think of now but you'll see a patern here, ie how much of your life do you spend relying on these things and how much poorer your life is if they're not right.

These are supposed to be very good.

For a proper ergonomic chair I think you'd be lucky to find anything below £450.
I have a cheap £50 leather jobby from Viking Direct, and stuff a towel behind the padding for lumbar support. Suits me well, and I have to be careful due to back problems too. Don't know how long it will last for though, had it 2 1/2 years, so not bad for £50.

even come with harness slots so you dont fall out of your chair when playing driving games
I know the rally chairs look cool, but I'd be surprised if they were comfortable for sitting on all day.
Car seats need to stop you from moving in differnet directions, they are designed to keep you still.
Task chairs are designed to support you whilst you move into different positions. ie, leaning on desk, sitting back admiring your work, reach accross to a drawer etc.
Personally, i wouldn't spend £350 on something which could be fundamentally flawed in its design.
Just my 2p.

Saab make the best car seats in the business, comfortable and supportive.
Get yourself a seat off ebay (pennies for a velour one off a classic 900 as everybody wants the leather). Weld the plate at the top of the office chair to two diagonal strips of steel in an "X". Then weld base of chair to "X". Connect 12v lead acid battery. Voila, 1 heated comfy office chair
At least that is what I will be doing when I get access to a welder - see the state of my office chair in "where do you sit" thread

I'm quite happy with this direct from the laminated book of dreams copyright Bill Bailey 
it actually looks a bit better than it does in that photo, and just as good as any of the 'proper' car seat chairs, probably not as comfy for all day use as a proper office chair, but style matters
