Default Cheap computer chair?

I need a computer chair for my pc, as using the old sofa puffet is doing my back and legs in due to the sitting position being so low.

Only really wanna spend about £30-40 as I don't have much money. Any links?

Looked on Argos and Ebay sites... postage is a bugger on Ebay.

Cheers

I would second Ikea. They are not the best (obviously) but do the job and are quite comfortable.

Staples are worth a look. They stock chairs of several types and costs.

I ended up going for this chair, as it seems to fit the bill well, and was a very good price. As we don't have a PCworld in Scunny, I've opted for delivery, which at £4.95 is very good actually.

Piccy...

does look bloody comfortable, especially for £20, think thats a good price. Looked in Argos, and the cheapest decent looking ones were nearly £50.

As long as this one does its intended purpose, I have no need to spend NACRO money on a chair.

Was gonna say the same thing actually, blagged one off my work the other day plus two fans and a couple of industrial sized thermos flasks
Just had a look and the rest is gone though (would have been ebay-tastic)

Don't overtighten the nuts holding the plastic arms on, and don't be surprised when they crack, leaving the back loose so you can't lean your weight on it. I've had two different chairs similar to that with what look like identical plastic arms which also mount the back panel and both have broken. It's one of the reasons I like the Berlin from Viking as it has chromed steel feet and arms. But then again, I am a fat c*** !

CB I'd say you're chunky, rather than a fat **** !

C.o.b. I too could have found you a tidy one from work too !

Those seats aren't as "soft" and comfy as you might expect, my gaffer got one, and gave it away as it was too hard for his soft RS !

LOL
