Office Chair???

Ro-Sham-Bo

Hey I'm in the market to buy a new office chair and was wondering if anybody has a preference as to what a good model or company would be, thanks.

Humanscale Freedom Task Chair. Accept no substitutes. I tried a coworkers years ago and it's been top of my wishlist ever since. I've sat in a few Herman Miller Aeron chairs and IMO they don't even come close (it could be because I'm a tall and relatively muscular person, but I've always found the herman miller offers rather small).

Just letting Ro-Sham-Bo know, he said he was in the market but didn't state a budget, the average chair is like $50 to $300

QFT. I have a 5-600 euro chair, that is about 800 dollars I think. Pretty much everything is adjustable (armrest height, seat forward offset, backrest tilt hardness, etc), which is quite important. Its seat also tilts along slightly with the back rest, something cheaper chairs don't have and is quite important.
Edit, don't know the brand, just had the seat store advise me on a few and then picked one.

The hawaii chair is the obvious choice.
