comfortable lab chair

[AL1]

Can anyone recommend a good ergonomic lab chair.
The one I have gives me back aches and puts my unit to sleep aka the groinal area.

There is a chair company called Steelcase.
they make great, long lasting chairs in a wide range styles and pricing.

you can buy new but there are also alot on the used market. here is one on ebay..

in my area (silicon valley) there are a couple of large warehouse type places that buy out complete businesses when they go under.. they buy all the desks and the chairs and lots of other stuff. then they resale to the public for a fraction of new. i picked up a 600 steelcase chair for a hundred bucks out the door and its perfect for lab work. and it looks and feels like new.

i found that company on craigslist.

good luck.

ps. herman miller also makes some great chairs.

Any idea how much one of these bad boys cost?

Or anyone else with the ergogeniosis website? Are we talking under a 1k here?

Me too! my only concern is how will it hold up to the wax, acrylic grinds solder drops that have trashed my current bed bath beyond sale chair. It looks like it has those 1" wheels that won't roll over the edge of the carpet under my bench. I need the carpet to save my handpiece when my hand goes numb and the handpiece falls out of my hand and onto the floor. Then where would I find $2213. for a chair? or I found one on sale for $1592.

My current chair is broken but maybe I can find something on craigs list like U suggested before.

It was a couple of years ago that I bought it but definitely under 1k, $700 range maybe.

OMG we seem to do the same thing to stretch out a chair, or try to make it workable.

In the Chicago area there is no water rationing & we have showers & baths in all homes & flats so I may be dusty but I wash regular (not dirty at all). I work with wax so wax does get on chair, & acrylic shavings,my Dysan seems to pick up most of it though. I do not smoke or have other really dirty habits, I don't eat at my bench, just an energy drink or three. I do have glass shelves in the cabinets though. Maybe my understanding of plush is off I thought that was for the boudoir, & I would not want ceramic grindings there!:embarassed:2

At least it isn't hairy...Canadian women sure have a funny way of staying warm

I suppose if my 60kilo (140lb) frame was such I wouldn't have much wax or dust on the chair. The UK guy seems to imply his chair is sheltered from dust.

I wouldn't need 3 cushions if I had a big butt!
