Comments on: Are expensive, green, ergonomic, office chairs worth it?

We spend lots of time with electronic gadgets and most of it sitting on our behinds. I recently bought a Think chair. It's green, ergonomic, high-tech, and expensive. Is it worth it?

If the chair fits then its worth it.

If you're making some decent cash(say 100K) and a chair allows you to be 5% more productive and to make 5% more because of the increased workload for say 3 or 4 years. 1k=5K return a year.

As for a couch or theater seating, how conducive is that to getting work done? Fragging n00bs on your xbox sure. But like other jobs, the best tool needed for the job will usually warrant decent results.

Great article. I totally think a chair like this is worth it. However, there are a lot of options out there if you're looking for office chairs. Check out this site CSN Chairs . The prices look really competitive. Good selection too!

Yeah $900 is alot for a chair but if your in the office all day then its wearth the money, plus task chairs are made to last along time, they have to.
