Is there some special casters or mat I should buy for this issue? Put down a small rug under your chair. Hard floors suck for office chairs even with rubber casters.

I like the hard-plastic floor mats for my desk. But that just because I don't like cleaning a rug of cat hair that's been ground into it by the wheels.

Jute rugs do a really good job at protecting carpets from furniture depressions and the like.

http://www.sit4less.com/products/Of...utive-chair/138 What do you guys think of this? I say in one for a few minutes at my physical therapist's office (having some shoulder things that are finally clearing up) and it seemed comfortable enough. Has lots of adjustables and 300 bucks is much nicer than 800.

You're in St. Louis, right? Wait till Wash U's semester ends and score a chair off of a student trying to get rid of it.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Never, ever use those floor mats on carpet. I used to work carpet cleaning, and the little plastic spikes eventually wear down and break off, embedding themselves into the carpet forever. If you want to protect the carpet from your chair, just put a cheap rub on top of the carpet. I've got one of the plastic mats with a smooth bottom on hardwood. Got to make sure to clean under it monthly or so, or you get some dirt that can scratch, but otherwise been happy with it.

While I did get my chair in a reasonable amount of time and I was happy with the end product, their customer support is completely abysmal. You'll have no idea where your order is until it lands on your doorstep, and I can't even imagine the nightmare involved with trying to return a product should something go wrong.

To be fair to them, they don't know where the order is because they submit it to the manufacturer and then it's out of their hands. Herman Miller, in my case, shipped direct to my house, and the one time I had to file a warranty claim, it was directly with Herman Miller - Sit4Less wasn't involved at all.

Yes, I realized this when I noticed the shipping label on the chair. However, I didn't think that my completely stock Leap would be considered a special order, so I emailed them after a couple of weeks. Instead of telling me anything useful they just gave me the runaround until the chair finally arrived. All they had to do was tell me that they had submitted the order to Steelcase and I would have been happy, but they couldn't even do that. Also of note is that they don't send any sort of tracking info even when the order ships directly from their warehouse. You also can't track your order from their site. Which is pretty  for a web-based business.

I live in Omaha and there's fuckall when it comes to Herman Miller or Steelcase showrooms, so I'm mainly guessing on this one. I found a place that is selling a Steelcase Leap (I think v2) for $650, but it states that it is "Upholstered." Is the upholstering a big deal? I know $650 isn't too great for a Leap but it's slim pickins around here and I don't feel like blindly buying a $500+ chair online without having sat in it first.

All chairs are upholstered, unless they have mesh backs and seats (like the Aeron). It's like saying a chair has a seat. Of course it does, it's a chair - it's a standard thing, not an upgraded feature. What is it upholstered IN? Fabric? Vinyl? Leather? That's the important part.

The chair is fabric, but none of the other fabric chairs have anything listed about them being "Upholstered," which made me think that it may mean that it has recently been reupholstered as a repair or something.

Does Herman Miller always have a 15% sale in May or June? I have my eye on an Envelop desk

After spending the past week sitting in an Aeron again, I kind of wish we had taken some of them after we moved to a new location.

Does anyone have any experience with the Space Chair? I've been looking at getting one.

Both the chairs just posted by beze and MancXVI look like junky knockoffs of other chairs. I'd shop around a lot more before getting those.

Went to a local store that carried both Herman Miller and Steelcase. I honestly did not like the Aeron at all which was surprising given its reputation and reviews everywhere. I felt the Leap was by far more comfortable and supportive for me. Then I asked about pricing  He was trying to get me to take a floor model with a 20% discount off their price. Still came to almost $870. Cheapest I've been able to find one online is around $645 (new). Anyone able to find a price beating that? Still very weary about spending so much money on something I sit in.

People liked how it looked and started using it at their desks. The Leap is a bit overpriced, yes. Depending on where you live, though, it might be the only option. Resources for ergonomic chairs really suck in general unless you work for a corporation that can afford a decent ergonomist and a bunch of demo chairs.
