Nothing beats a new puter chair
My old one took a shit. It was not cheap, ok it was not a steelcase but it was a sealy brand chair. The only thing sealy on that chair was the name. The rest was made in some sweat shop, lord knows where. OK so it lasted a year. Thats about the norm for me, if im lucky.
So off to Officedepot we go. Come home 200 bucks lighter and setup the chair. Used it for about a 2 days when I started noticing I was leaning to the right. Well the old chair leaned to the left so I thought OK maybe its me. Two more days go by and its really starting to bother me. I flipped it on its side and sure enough, the fucking up/down piston is leaning to the right. Its bent. Crib notes, 300.00 chair on sale for 200, is a real piece of chinese made dog shit. It broke in 3 days Can't some body make a fucking chair. Apparently not if you plan to buy it in a box store... Dave

Mine is an old rockin' chair that I've had for about 8 years now. My fat ass has broken it twice now, but I just glue it back up and let it rock.
I weigh in at 250. But when I bought this chair---about 190.  Dave

If you weigh 275, & as big as you are, I'd say you need a chair rated for 350-400. Like EVERYTHING else nowadays, chairs are made on the "flimsy" side, & have virtually NO "Wollerance" factored in. You may have to go to a "local" office supply store-Not one of the "Big Box" outfits-or a "good" furniture store. The "good" stuff is still out there, but you have to dig for it, & it'll cost, too...

You would think for 200 bux it would have lasted longer than three days.
Might look for a place that sells used office supplies. We had a place that was selling used office furniture they got form the State. Had some damn nice chairs going for $20, you won't break one of these. Chas

My current company was kind enough to get a fancy-ish chair for us all when we moved, high backed leather etc, but the most comfortable was the old chair at my last job.
It was an aluminum? base 4 wheel, green vinyl, you've seen them, I think they've been making them since the 40s. Solid, good support, I could probably jump up and down on one, but not very status conscience. Pete

We had a used office supply place down the street till it burned down. Wonder if it moved.
All the "industrial" strengh chairs I looked at started at 600 bucks. And the damn things aint made for tall lard asses. Bet its gonna cost me 1500 to get something that fits me, and lasts.
