    Desk Chair

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Any one have suggestions for a cute desk chair?

    i have been working from home a lot more, and I'm using a wooden dining room chair with a cushion, and it's more uncomfortable than the worst saddle you've ever tried!

    I'm looking for:
    -smaller sized chair, to fit in a built in kitchen desk (I might even check out something like Pottery Barn Teen, so i can find a smaller scale)
    -armless
    -preferably white/tan/cream, maybe even a pretty pattern
    -fabric or mesh, no wood
    -preferably swivel
    -under $200
    -would like to buy in a store so i can test it out

    I don't have major ergonomic needs. I'm mostly looking for something that wouldn't look to "office-y" since it will be in my kitchen.

    Not asking for much, am i?

    I have an office chair from Ikea that's quite comfy and has proven durable, through 4 moves and a cat scratching at it because she wants attention.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    You can take the arms off most swivel chairs you buy at Office Max. I have a really small inexpensive chair we did that to so I can use it at my sewing desk.

    Pottery Barn Teen does have some interesting ones in your price range.

    If you like modern tell your boss she/he needs to buy you a Vitra .04
    We have some at my office and they are very comfortable and very will made….but more than you want to spend.

    That Vitra is nice looking! Pretty much the scale and design of what i was looking for.

    PB Teen didn't have any of their chairs in the store, and I didn't want to order online without testing first. Plus they were pretty pricey.

    I ended up getting this bungee chair from the Container Store. It also comes in a version with arms, but that one didn't fit at my desk. Bummer too, because it was very comfy. Anyway, this smaller one has worked out well. I've spent over 8 hours in it and been very comfortable. It's not exactly the look I wanted, but it will do for now.
