Checked the Seattle website from the first page or two (http://nwresourcer.com) and they have both Steelcase Criterion and the KI Engage. I need a chair and the price is right ($135 each). Any thoughts on the engage? Can't find much about it other than the manufacturer website.

Sadly a lot of those dealers aren't really interested in talking with you if you only are buying one chair. You really aren't worth their time - their profit margins on a single chair are pretty small, so they have to sell 100s of chairs at a time to make a profit. Keep calling around until you find someone who will let you come in and try one out.

That said, I don't really see what sets that chair apart from other $100-range chairs. It's nice that the back height adjusts, but there's no tilt or seat slider, which I consider key adjustments for ergonomic support. If you're looking for a chair in that price range there's really no need to lock on to one particular brand, they're all pretty much going to be the same. So I would suggest hitting up the nearest used furniture warehouse and picking up whatever fits you best there.

So I am confused by this. It seems like the chair does do those things. and they both retail for around 700. The chairs I have seen for around 100 at furniture warehouses don't seem to be close in quality to these and are more like office depot type stuff.

Yeah, I've called/emailed him a number of times, just never anything back.



edit: he just got back to me. He is out of the country until October 3rd, but will respond to calls then.
