Afternoon all.

Instead of using a chair I've used an exercise ball at my computer at home for the last 5 years, and now I've finally decided to buy a chair!

My budget is around £80-£100. Any suggestions on what features or anything to look for/avoid? I don't want anyting that looks like a typical office chair, i.e. blue with lots of plastic!

I know the best piece of advice would be to just go and try some out, but I think Staples is the only place I can get to easily. Can't think of any other places that would sell it within 20 miles.
 
Things I look out for when buying a Chair:

1. Is it a Chair? If YES go to 2, if NO go to 5.
2. Do I like the look of it? If YES go to 3, if NO go to 5.
3. Is it comfortable to sit in? If YES go to 4, if NO go to 5.
4. Will it 'Fit in' with my other stuff? If YES go to 6, if NO go to 5.
5. DON'T BUY IT!
6. BUY IT.

Simple and effective.
