Hi Guys,
I'm in the market for a ergo office chair, budget is around 500 bucks. It has to have decent lower back support and good for sitting for long periods of time e.g. 7 hrs a day.
Any recommendations or deals going around?

Would it be classed as an ergo chair do you think?
We have them in our Meeting rooms at work - I think they are more classified as like a task chair or meeting chair - But I find them pretty comfortable for the price. I don't think they are a necessarily an "ergo" chair though, but may fit the bill.
Looks good, dont see a price for it tho?
we paid $525 for full black with arm rests
incl delivery?
Forgot to ask you how comfortable it is?
incl delivery, i ordered one for work, and now 14 others have the same chair, out of an office of 60.
they do a free trial if its for a workplaceAre the armrests adjustable? Not a biggy for me as the chair height is adjustable.
How about one of these chairs for $299 delivered?
No need to spend all $500. This is OzBargain after all :-)http://www.staples.com.au/main-catalogue-productdetail/buro-…
Or spend a little more and get the Mark II version

I work from home a lot and spend more hours a week than is ideal sitting down on the $299 chair.
It's very comfortable with good back support.Thanks Pete, I work from home myself. Does you chair have armrests or is it not available for this model?
Good question. My chair came with armrests which I removed. Don't like them on work chairs.
Subsequent chairs which I purchased for other people to use didn't have arm rests.
Looking at the underside of a chair which never had armrests, I see threaded holes for the arm rest brackets to be screwed into.
I still have the arms and brackets so if you're an armrest lover and cannot find a chair with them for a sensible price, PM me and I'm sure we can come to an agreement.
Picked up the buro metro II during the last ebay staples 20% sale for $295 delivered. Couldnt be happier with it.
I have the V2 at work but this V1 at home Ergohuman V1.
Has good back support and head rest. Mesh is vital nowadays for goof airflow and durability.
Seen that one, that looks like it has good back support

pick up a good secondhand one from gumtree

I'm in a similar position although I'm not going to buy a chair unless I sit in it first and I may spend more.
At the moment brands I've considered without looking yet are Steelcase, Hermann Miller and Ergodirect. I believe only Ergodirect are in within your budget though.
I have read a lot of good things about the Steelcase Leap and the Hermann Miller Aereon and the Ergohuman but I am going to sit in the for a good long time before I pay for one.
Anybody any experience with these Aldi chairs?
I've never used one but they've a pretty easy returns policy if it didn't work out. Just the pain in collecting, building, dismantling and returning if it doesn't meet your requirements - it would however save you $400 if it turns out to be good. HOWEVER - this is one of the last office chairs ALDI sold and the comments don't look good: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/268771
I got a steelcase leap for 150 bucks off gumtree. Its in great condition, really comfortable and fully adjustable. I scored a bargain for sure.
Thanks for all the helps guys.
This is what we have at work and it's very comfy. Planning to buy one for our home office http://www.jpofficeworkstations.com.au/xagon-office-chair/?d…
Herman Miller Sayl - Although might need to see how suited it would be for 7 hours.
