I actually do own a Herman Miller desk however...I paid $50 for it and had no idea what I bought until years later when I found the Herman Miller sticker on the bottom. If you have time it is somewhat of an interesting story: [redpushpin.blogspot.com]

Having worked for a year in an Aeron, I can attest to the fact that the Chadwick is very comparable to the sitting experience of an Aeron (the library also has dozens of Aerons with which to perform direct comparisons. I've already spent dozens of hours in them in the first three weeks. My butt is loving law school.). Since my home desk chair is of the "folding" variety, I'm seriously considering getting a Chadwick so that my posterior doesn't go numb when studying.
The chair retails for $550-650 new, and definitely deserves to be in this, or the next, task chair Battlemodo.

I think that would be a good comparison :-)

His new company gave him a budget of a grand on a chair and the most comfortable one that he found was a $60 chair from Staples on special.

Considering that this is a chair that you'll likely have for 5-10 years, $600-$1000 is not that much money.

1) We get me this $500 artsy green chair. Sure I might look a bit like a pretentious emo douche and all the hot girls we hire will think I'm gay. But it would totally be worth it.
2) We could make a pile of $500 in singles, set it on fire and then try to put it out by urinating on it. If we drink a lot of water beforehand we might be able to douse the inferno with enough leftover for me to get a chair from Staples.
3) You could just give me $500 and I'll forget about my back issues.

4)Ask for a proper chair that doesn't hurt your back and explain to your boss that spending $1000+ on a chair is a shitload cheaper than dealing with an employee who's back pain has gotten so severe that he has to put in a Worker's Comp claim, or go on disability, or take a shitload of sick time because he can't get out of bed his back hurts so severely.
