				Looking for desk chair: any suggestions?
			 
			
		
		
		I'm looking for a good quality desk chair, to use while I'm doing homework and at my computer. I want one that swivels/has wheels, adjustable height and arms.  
  
Does anyone have any suggestions, or know anyone who is selling one? I've looked at Ikea, Staples, etc., and they're all pretty expensive.

		I was at ikea, looking along the same lines as you: Cheap, but comfy (meaning swivel, wheels, etc.)... They had one that was really popular. I think it was called Moses.

Check it. $60.

 i love my moses. had it for like 2 years now. so comfortable and pretty durable too. i had a mesh one that looked really fancy before this and the back on it broke. this one hasnt even had any sign of wear. apart from the armrests which are scratched up because they keep scraping my keyboard tray. but thats my fault and has happened on every one of my chairs. but yea, i like it. btw, i think you can get this in white too if you're looking for something different looking.

 Hehe, thanks. That's exactly why I'm looking for a good quality chair. I spent the summer working in an office with poor workplace conditions, and it has done a number on my back. I hope getting a nice chair will help!

		 If you've got an extra grand burning in your pocket nothing beats an Aeron.
