Wish I knew what sort of chair I had, all I know is it was made by some company named Steelcase. We found it in an office that was getting torn down so it was a pretty sweet deal. Chair uses a solid metal frame instead of plastic like all these new ones and it feels like it could hold 500lbs+. Not entirely sure though... I only weigh 140lbs so I don't really get a lot of chance to stress test it but maybe the company name will point you in the right direction if their new inventory is anything like this chair.

Steelcase makes some good chairs.

Its hard to find a chair that is worth a damn anymore. I am considering a new office chair as well since I work from home and the one I currently have is at least 7 years old and needs to be tossed. It sucks!!!!

So I am looking at one of these new ones that has the mesh type back and seat. Being 6'4" 260 doesn't help matters any either.

Menards is were I got mine. About 200 bucks, leather, adjustable height, tall back. Legs and rollers are plastic but they're strong. I'm 250 and 6' and had mine for a couple of years now.

Cleaning out under your bed b4 taking the picture might have been a good idea, ewwwww

I have basically the same chair at work and at home.  Went to Office Depot and bought the leather chairs with the built in back massage for @ $150.00.  Plug in, crank it up, back feels better.  I'm a bit smaller that you guys though @ 6' 220 lbs.

You might want to look into commercial chair resale places.  They cost a bit more, but are built much better.

Sam's club few months ago had a nice big chair, bout 200.00. Don't if it would hold up. Everything being made in china anymore, it is hard to find quality anymore.

Try checking a dedicated office furniture supply store and see what they have. Then shop around on the net or local stores for the same thing on sale. A bad chair really aggravates a bad back.

Hey space is limited in this room. And i was drinking that coke in the Sonic cup.
Very little in that pic is actually garbage. I use almost everything in it lol
The carpet is at least 20 years old maybe more and that wasn't always a bedroom. Its seen its better days.

As for under my bed there's a black blanket and a white blanket on the right, a mandolin in the middle, and then all my usb cords, gaming magazine, phone charger, Kodak box with more cords and some instruction manuals in it, a book about weather, another box with some xbox stuff in it, and Windows 7.

Sure it needs cleaned but then i wouldn't be able to find any of it  :rofl

Look for a "fully adjustable" office chair.

They allow you to tweak most everything on the chair so it will fit ya' better.  
(I am 6'4" so I am familiar w/ office chairs not fitting)

They are more expensive but you can find of few of them in the $200.00 - 500.00 range.

OfficeDepot has a decent selection to check out.

They start getting really "good" in the $500-1,000.00 range.

LMAO...ok then. Sounds like what my step kids have been telling me since 10 this morning when they started cleaning their rooms...it's 3 p.m. now and they're still working on it after 2 bags of garbage and nearly breaking my vacuum cleaner.
