Herman Miller makes great chairs. Chairs made for computer gamers are also good. If there is someone that spends more time in a chair than a contester, it's a computer gamer. Just keep in mind, you g
I had to retire because of back problems - the $1,000ergonomic chair the employer bought did not help. After retirement, I went to a local store, Miller Huggins,and they let me try out for hours in
