Now, if you have ever bought office furniture in the past, I am sure that you are aware that the quality varies due to brand and price.  The old adage "you get what you pay for" definitely applies to home office furniture as well.

A good example of the variance in quality would be to compare my thirty dollar rolling chair to the new mesh office chair I paid two hundred dollars for.  Now, my rolling chair served me well for the two years I used it, though if I sat and worked for more than a couple of hours at a time, my back pain was horrible.

As time went on, my rolling chair started to have some problems.  It started out with little things like a wheel wouldn’t roll, to the gas lift not working at all.  Luckily these were just minor annoyances.  The real kicker (and the reason that I replaced the chair) was when the back rest broke off of the chair, sending me tumbling to the ground.

So far my new chair seems to be working much better than my old one, and I can sit down for hours on end with no back pain whatsoever.  For all of you out there in the market for new office furniture, I would encourage you to spend a little more, get better quality, and enjoy the added comfort.  In fact, with my new chair, working never felt so much like relaxing as it does now.
