Staples's 'Kashmir' Managers Chair

Here are some pics for anyone that's interested:

It really is, very comfy. Only downside is that it doesn't slide under my desk but I've just pulled the screens closer to the edge of the desk.

Constructing it was very easy, just a few bolts and screw caps.
 
Wow that looks mega comfy!

Mines pretty much the same, but leather and it gets a tad *ahem* sweaty and times when its warm! :(

May have to look into this when I get my new place :)
 
Such a coincidence - I sat in that chair at the weekend as I'm also looking for a comfy office chair but didn't really want to spend that much - it really was very comfortable

On the subject of office chairs, I have a Markus chair being delivered tomorrow. - Not sure how good they are, but from all the fans here it seems popular so I have bought one to try it for myself. That one there looks comfortable though, not only that it does look nice looking also.

We have 2 Markus chairs, they are fantastic :)
 
That kashmir looks way too thin on the top to me bet that's not as comfortable as most of the £50-£70 auction site executive chairs.
 
I have the leather faced version of this, after about 8-9 months the padding got that permanent compressed feel. This has happened to every chair I've ever had, regardless of "executive" status or cost. Fixed by by getting a proper memory foam cushion to sit on top.
 
I had one of these Kashmir chairs. It was uber comfy but in the first few days developed rips in the fabric.

I returned it, as a £200 chair that gets holes in it when you simply sit on it is unacceptable. Swapped it for a full leather chair from the same manufacturer.

Looks like it would be bad when hot/sweaty.

And your curtains suck :p.

Yeah, they weren't great. My mum gave them to us ages ago and it was one of those 'keep to appease' things. You'll be happy to know though, that they have now been replaced:

Mine's still going strong, no rips or faults and still very soft and comfy. Incidentally it's now a £100 chair. If you paid £200 you got shafted.

Platypus is right that it isn't the best for ventilation as it can get quite hot, but it can't be any worse than leather. Those Herman Miller aerons are probably best for people that get sweaty arses :p.

You know how to make someone feel better. :(

I feel I got a good deal on my replacement though. It was a £250 leather chair reduced to £175. Which is probably still far more than it's worth, but oh well it smells of leather which is a beautiful smell!
 
I sat in one of these chairs for the first time in Staples the other day and I immediately wanted it. I will be buying one soon, it was so friggin' comfy!!!!!

£129.99 in store.
£108 online, but pretty much £133 with all the tax etc. added I think. So better off buying in store.

Yeah it was such a comfy chair. I really wanted to just replace it with the same one, but I couldn't risk it just tearing again.

Leather isn't as comfy as the micro-fibre, but definitely more durable I'd say.

I bought one a few months ago, I worked out it was more expensive to buy it in store. I decided I couldn't wait for delivery. :D

It is a very comfy chair.
 
I'm currently using an old office chair my company threw out. It's ripped a lot now and there are various stains on it, so it really need replacing. For £129.99 I don't think you can go wrong, it was that comfy.

I know it's sad, but when I bought my lunch the other day I actually went into Staples again just so I could sit in it. haha.
 
I bought one today. AMAZING!

It's a bit 'sitty backy', in that if I want to lean in and be close to the screen it's not massively natural, but might be because I'm not used to it yet. It's SO COMFY to sit in though, I love it!
