If you sit all day in a chair, you will appreciate every penny you spend. I've sat in $100 chairs and $700 chairs. There is a world of difference in comfort, it is not just an issue of leather vs cloth.

I need to replace the 12 year old chair we inherited. It was about $400 when it was bought. It's lasted a long time and up till recently, it was very comfortable. The padding is just shot. the mechanics are still good.

Go to Staples and look at Furniture>Chairs then look at the differences between 24 hour task chairs, executive chairs, manager chairs, secretary chairs, etc. They are all designed slightly differently. Aside from being fancier, the exec chairs tend to be comfier. I guess, execs need pampering and there seems to be the expectation that execs sit on their assess all day, rather than get in and out of their chairs all day to step and fetchit as a secretary does.
