    I second Secret Lab.
    Their chairs are brilliant without the hefty price tag.

    Definitely above average

    Be prepared your back will absolutely ache for the first couple of weeks using a decent chair as your body is forced to sit correctly after years of abuse

    After buying one, don't forget to pop over to the Accounting forum and ask if you can expense it.

    They sent it with instructions for a different chair but the info is easily available online so it wasn't really an issue. Most of the functionality was the same.

    Have to say, I immediately felt better for it and wonder why I didn't change my chair sooner.
