Any experiences/thoughts with these near-luxury chairs?

For anyone in the LA area, I found a warehouse that's selling Leaps for $229. I'll check it out and report back.

The only problem is that it's in West Compton, so if you don't hear for me, I may have died for your furniture needs.

Why not just buy a decent used chair from Craigslist and sell it for $50 less in a year?

used leaps are a dime a dozen from office furniture liquidators

Yep, I picked up this ugly green Leap for $229 from an liquidator here in California.

I'm pretty happy with the Leap but I think I'm slouching just to get my eyes level with my monitors, which are about a foot under my eye level. I'm guessing a monitor stand is recommended?

I've decided to go for the Steelcase Leap, I'll have to buy it "blind" so to speak because there is no chance in hell of finding on to sit on around these parts.
My question is that I'm not sure if I should go for the leather model, or the fabric one, which is slightly cheaper.

I know that this won't magically fix my lovely posture, but maybe having a chair that I can lean back in (my chair stopped doing that years ago) , and not worry about toppling over due to missing wheels may encourage me.

I bought a used fabric leap for $229 and it's actually solved 80% of my back problems compared to my previous chair, a Herman Miller Caper.

That's a 28 BMI which is technically overweight by the simplest metric we use here at our medical clinic.

I just bought this chair a couple of months ago and it's the best chair I've ever owned. They are having a sale on it right now:

That looks like it would be comfortable while sitting back and firing someone sitting across the desk from you, but would lack support for computing 8 hours a day.

Some are legit, some are not. Just like anything else on Craigslist, there are deals to be had, but buyer beware.
