Based on a recommendation I believe from this forum, I bought a
Steelcase Leap from
RGO here in town. I get the impression they are used to handling large office orders, but accommodate someone from the public walking in to their showroom. They had a regular black Steelcase Leap in stock, so I was able to walk out with it that day, without waiting for an order.
Doesn't look like much, and the price may shock some, but I find it is really worth it. I sit in it 8 hours a day. It is as important a tool as anything else I use in my life.
Never again will I go back to the quality of the Staples $100-300 chairs. They are just crap, not made for being used more than a few minutes at a time.
EDIT:
Hmm, re-read your post, and you said you weren't looking to spend more than $500. I imagine the current price for the Steelcase Leap is $1100+ from RGO. As another poster mentioned, there is always Kijiji. I have seen them on there for prices like $200 before. So if you aren't in a rush, you can troll through Kijiji waiting for a good deal.
