tkam Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm in the market for a new office chair, would like to keep it around $500 - $600 if possible. The Steelcase Amia seems like a popular option and would fit the budget. Anyone have any experience with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I haven't tried that, but I love the steelcase leaps the gov't has everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Like Dan, I don't know the Amia but love my Leap. I think Colin has a Leap as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NekoAudio Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I have been using a Herman Miller Mirra for several years now and still like it a lot. It's about your price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episiarch Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Another Steelcase Leap user here. I like it about as much as I've liked my various Aerons at offices, but it's a different experience so YMMV. I don't have experience to compare it to any of the other current ergonomic chairs.

MexicanDragon Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Bah, just saw this. I love my leap at work. I have an Allsteel Sum Chair at home, which is pretty decent, but the Leap is a step up, definitely.I got mine at madisonseating.com, which sells refurb/used/whatnot. Mine Allsteel was in very good condition, and even though there was an issue (they had the mid-back when the high-back was pictured), they offered a partial refund that made us both happy, and they offer a 10 year warranty on what they sell.**BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I need a chair without armrests for guitar practice. Bonus points if it can double as a desk chair. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 http://www.madisonseating.com/criterion-armless-chair-by-steelcase.html This is what I used before the Leap at work. It was good, but not as good as the Leap. The price is right on the Med back one, though, a buck 25 delivered. Those guys take a while to ship, but if you were looking at budget options...I'm pretty sure a Leap is made without arms. Here's onehttp://www.etail.com/leap-armless-chair-by-steelcase/etail.com is another place like Madison Seating, a liquidator, but I'm sure you can find a place locally that sells Steelcase and try things out/shop new.**BRENT** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Enigma Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 This being head-case, I love my steelcase gesture and highly recommend it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks, Brent, that was actually really helpful.That said, I wouldn't mind armrests that fold away. I have a tendency to fall asleep in my desk chair, I really don't want to fall over and bump my head on something and knock myself out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Glad I could be of some help. The arms don't fold away but they do go down quite a bit on each chair I use. I just checked and my Allsteel arms go down at least 5" from what I have them set up at.It looks like you can unbolt them to remove/swing them down, but it's not designed for that.**BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I managed to fall asleep in a desk chair and roll out flat onto my back once.Doesn't matter, still had a good nap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
