My chair busted last month and I spent 200 on a new replacement from Office Max. The chair is killing my back bc. I can't adjust the back on it.

Post links to your chairs.

I've heard Leap Chairs are good. Anyone else recommend anything else?

Bro I used to work for steelcase. The LEAP chair or the THINK chair are great!!!! Hell they use the LEAP technology on Jaguars and boeing planes!!!!
Other great chairs are made by herman miller, knoll or haworth.
If you need any advice let me know.

I overpaid for the Mirra and don't regret it.

One thing I suggest, DON'T SKIMP. You sit in this thing all day and being comfortable and happy in a chair will make you more productive which will pay for the chair in no time.

If you're near a major city, I'd suggest visiting some high end office stores and sitting for yourself.

Agreed, how much was your chair? I didn't see any prices.

How much is a good back worth to you? You will sit in this chair what 10-12+ hours a day? How much did your couch cost that you maybe spend 3-4 hrs on a day? It is all relative.

I have narrowed my search down to Steelcase's Leap and Humanscale's Freedom model.

The Leap has more adjustments while one of the Freedom chairs claim to fame is it does not need so many adjustments. I have sat in each one and they both seem comfortable so I don't know which one to go with. BTW, both come in different configurations and can be gotten online for as low as $800 or locally at some discount furniture stores for even less.

Mine was around $750 because I added the front tilt to it (it's actually a waste of money in my opinion now that I have the front tilt). Still, you can get it for $700 or a little less if there is a good sale at OfficeDesigns.com.
