Been looking into one of these chairs for a few months now. I put it on the backburner for a little bit but I've been having circulation problems during recent long stretches working at my computer as all of the cushion padding is virtually gone in my cheap chair now.

I'm about to throw down $950 out the door at The Healthy Back store on the highly-adjustable version of this chair. I've found three official dealers online that support the 12-year warranty but they only knock off <$100 so I'd just assume stay local. I found a few Ebay auctions like these but the reserves haven't been met yet so I'm guessing they're going to go for just as much as official online stores.

So does anyone have any experience with price shopping for these chairs, factory warranty included? Is it possible to find this version for, say, <$800 online or in person?

Thanks for any info guys.

Edit: Just got back from the store and wound up picking a different chair. It's called CXO and it's a little more comfortable with it's foam seat cushion. I've got thirty days to decide if I like it during which I plan on seeing if I'm happy with the amount of ventillation it provides. I also managed to get them to knock off $200 due to the ending-today online sale price
