I only paid $89 as it was on sale, down from around $150. It sits wonderfully and adjusts to any position I want. Even the armrests adjust. I can positions throughout the day if I get uncomfortable with one position. I don't know the brand, I'd have to look on mine at home if you are interested.

Office chair - sm
If you have a clothes shaver, that should remove the "tufts"...as far as keeping it clean, the towel probably contributed to the "tufts", so I would try a pillowcase or other non-linty material. Spray foam cleaner made for furniture should help keep it clean, or ScotchGuard maybe? The shaver is definitely a help for all kinds of pills and pulls in clothes. I love mine. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know of a good ergonomic chair to help with upper back/neck pain? I haven't found one yet and am in desperate need. Thanks!
Office chair
I got a wonderful one from Sams...has about 6-8 different adjustments for knees, hips, lower back, etc. I think it was about $125, but I've had it quite sometime and am still happy w/it.
Office Chair Question
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good back support for your office chair? My back has been bothering me more lately so I was curious as to what everyone else uses to help stay comfortable while they have to sit in the chair.
Need new office chair. Any recommendations? sm
I sold my Herman Miller as it was simply not comfortable to me so am very cautious about spending that much money again for a chair. I think I would like one that has a high back and a neck support. I definitely need one with arms that adjust in so that I can rest my arms while typing. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated as I am sitting on a dining room chair now!
Office chair restraints
Google for Rifton... They produce high quality handicap harnesses of all sorts. If I could afford it I would get one of their sitting harnesses that holds the person in a "working position" slightly leaning forward from the hips, spine straight, fully supported. They cost but they would be so comfortable. I'm not handicapped, just sore backed!
Anyone use the AK Octane office chair?

Keeping office chair clean
Hi,
I have a cloth office chair that is fairly new. Lately, I noticed it's getting a bit of those little tufts (for lack of a better word) of fabric on the seat. I had used a towel to cover the seat for awhile but it was more hassle than it was worth. I was wondering how I can get this cleaned up and how I can prevent it from happening again.  TIA
I wish there were office chair restraints to hold
nm
Nope. Not after sitting in an office chair for 15 years
with earphones stuck in my ears all day.
At least this way if I go to get a drink, I don't hear all about what this one said or that one said, blah, blah, blah.
Can anybody recommend a good seat cushion for my office chair? I'm having a lot of problems SM
with numbness in my tailbone, and left buttock with tingling down into my left leg and foot. I can't afford a new chair right now as I just bought this one six months ago. I have to get up and stretch out and walk around quite often during the day and its cutting into my production.
Love my HM chair!
Got to the point when I could hardly get out of the chair after 12 hours of working, went and ordered me a new Areon HM and love it to death! I have been using this chair for 3 years now, still love it. The arms are easy to remove if you like. I have mine set low so I can type but that they they are still there..it is all personal preference really, but my back is not sore after the long days like it used to be and I can sit forever without needed to get up due to feeling sore from sitting.
I also have this chair and love it !!! nm

I love to sit on my chair it is comfy.

I LOVE my Aeron chair!!!!
I've had mine for a little over a year and I really love it. It's SO comfortable and really helped my back pain. I think I paid a little over $900 for mine but it was worth every penny. I'm quite overweight and I really liked the fact that I could order it in the wider size and it fits my butt a lot better than most other chairs. 
omigosh yes!!! I love my chair! sm
I bought my chair about 6 months ago or so.. My back was starting to bother me in my cheap $100 office chair. This Aeron chair is awesome! You can adjust it to what's comfortable for you. I will never use another chair. It is well worth the $500 to $1000 you spend. ebay is a great place to buy a used one, or even a new one for huge savings.
Me too! I'd love a new comfortable chair (nm)

Love my Steelcase Leap Chair (sm)
bought it on-line with free shipping. Went to a local office supply and got a written quote for their bottom dollar then faxed it to an online store and they knocked off another $100. Can't remember the exact name of store, but if you're interested let me know, and I will look it up. It is the most comfortable chair I've ever had; Neutral Posture and Aeron just didn't work for me.
I have problems with low back pain from an old injury and now I work without pain.
Does anyone use a Herman Miller Aeron chair for work and if so, do you like/love it? nm

Love my Ergohuman chair! I had a Herman Miller but did not care for it....sm
it was just not comfortable to me. I sold it and bought an Ergohuman and love it! It is less expensive too...about $600 I think. I do not use the arms though they are adjustable several ways, in and out and up and down. They are not detachable but you can push them out of the way. I bought mine on the web..several places sell them.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
Love my office
We had our home built about two years ago. All the rooms are big except for my office, but it is really all I need. It has a built-in oak desk and cabinets. I have a shelf with all my Precious Moment figurines. Also, I have an antique Singer sewing machine in front of the window. I also have shelves on the wall with more PMs! I have a bulletin board with pictures, etc and lots of pictures of my kids on the wall. It is small but I consider it my little hideaway! 
I love my office,,,
Two of my walls have a step back, meaning there is an oak shelf that cuts the wall in two. The top half is painted a soothing sage green with the bottom half a shade or two darker. The two walls without the shelf are painted the lighter green. Have white crown molding and closet doors. Initially my L-shaped desk was facing into a corner but changed that so now I sit facing into the room with window on my right and door on my left. Desk, filing cabinets, window molding, shelf are in oak. I have little fridge, microwave, TV, Bose radio with DVD and CD hook-up, dark green love seat that I sleep on (I am short, lol), Nordic Trac ( which I seldom use), dog's crate and hubby's old desk in here with me. The floor just has a remant of blue carpet because puppies and baby-sitting dogs spend time in here with me and I don't want to have to worry about "accidents." When I decide to finish the floor, will probably be in hardwood to match other wood in here. Also have ceiling fan with remote, which was a wonderful idea. I LOVE my office. I call it my cocoon room.
That's what she said! Love The Office!!! NM

I love your office...sm
I looked at the pictures. It looks great. I have to redo my office. It is actually my office, and my junk room right now. My christmas decorations are still sitting in here. I have got to do some redoing. I love your garden view from the window. You have a lovely garden. I too love flowers. I have planted in flower garden I am quite proud of in my front yard. Thanks for the pictures.
Don't you love these doctor's wives who have to be in the office
but we all know they're just keeping an eye on the checkbook they married. So pathetic.
Dell for office computer and lap top and love both. (nm)

Our third bedroom serves solely as an office. I love it! nm

I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck. I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them. It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies. I feel like I am appreciated.
I better switch my computer chair for a potty chair. nm
Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

I gave a tin of toffee for each office and a Lia Sophia necklace to each office manager. ~nm~

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
30 day TAT in this office ... office politics at its best
I have kept in touch with an MT I worked with at the last in-house job (radiology). This was inpatient radiology and also an outpatient radiology clinic the hospital operated.
One of the girls, a person who at one time folded towels but who was hired as a clerk, was just discovered to ahve not mailed out reports for 30 days. These include both in house reports and outpatient reports. They have been sitting on her desk because she "has not had time to do them."
What do you make of this? The lead MT is close to this girl (hence her being moved from housekeeper to clerk) and is trying to minimize the impact that not having the reports mailed to referring physicians' offices, as if it is a minor problem (how they found out about it is a doc's office called the MT's supervisor and asked why 30 days worth of reports were mailed to their office yesterday.
They were keeping it from the director of radiology. I think this is BIG and that heads should roll for negligence.
What do you think?
at home vs office - i am in office
well, I really was referring to the MONSTER MANAGER that I have, who has her favorites here, and she assigns them the easy doctors who say the same thing over and over, you know. I have to do something. I am losing my SELF at this point, with no church and no family. The stuff on here about running out of work, my lack of computer savvy, all has me just frozen. MOre about in-office. Do you have little habits like talking out loud to the dr? Someone will complain about you. Do you ever say a cussword? Someone will complain. Do you ever sigh? Complaints. About age - I was offered 2 trans. positoins in San Diego before I came here. I had gone to a seminar about how to look for work over age 55, had revamped my resume and my "presenting" self, and it made all the difference. Things are way different than they were evern 10 years ago, you will be judged by someone younger than you, but in this line of work they do appreciate experience and reliability. And the computer doesn't care if you're pretty. It's not your age unless you are sickly. Don't give up!! if that's what you want.
I need a new chair!
I have had this chair for about 8 years. I have to sit on pillows or else it feels like I am sitting on bare metal!  I am ready to buy a new one & would appreciate suggestions.
TIA
chair.
Herman Miller Aeron Chair, changed my LIFE!!!! Can't say enough good about it. The cost is high, but I felt I could justify it since I spend so much time sitting in it, check it out on ebay, lot cheaper, that is where I got mine.
chair
Am looking for a new one. What kind do you have?
chair
When I was going to PT because of a MVA the theapist told me to allow the chair to support the back, not to sit like they used to make us sit straight and forward but sit back and allow the chair to support you. Also hold in your core muscles. Once I have done this as well as having a chair that I can easily change up and down positions, I have not had a problem. She said a pillow would not support the entire back and and thus put you off balance again and you then overcompensate for it. So I sit completely back in my chair with my entire back being supported by the chair. Also sit a little higher up. Works for me and never have a back ache. Also chair is not one of the most expensive models, $99 at Office Depot. Though I do need a new one as it is 6 years old. I work 8 to 10 hours per day in this chair.
chair help sm
Go to a site called "Nada Chair" it is not a chair but a device that pulls your spine forward by attaching a belt via a strap to your knees. My son is a PT and one of his patients swears by it. Just check it out. Been there, it's painful, every little bit helps, also ask for a TENS unit. Good luck! I empathize!

my sister visited a chiropracter in atlanta and was told of an office chair called herman miller but is pricey. She has one and loves it so far. it is the best one out there of late. visit CSN-chair.com they have different types, but they sound like a dream! Thank you for your well wishes and hope you are doing okay too! I e-mailed you also

Hi - I've had many various chairs over the past 10 years, and just found the perfect one for me for about $250.00.
It's the Unanimous model chair from the Hon company, part of their 7600 series -- specifically, the 7602 model is the best. It has a high back and adjustable everything -- seat depth, back height, arm width and height, etc...
I've spent lots of money on chairs and love this one!
Sites like NexTag do comparison pricing and show you where you can get the exact item you want at the best price.
Good luck!
