Three Chairs That Will Upgrade Your Office Style Quotient

Lately we've been noticing a trend towards interesting office chairs behind desks as well as in common areas and cafeterias.

The right chair can add a lot to a work space, like a punch of color or an interesting sculptural focal point.

And let's not forget that power of a good chair to save our ever-aching back from the computer slouch induced pain we'd like to forget about.

This be-knobbed stool of sorts can serve as a coat rack and a back massage all rolled into one.

If you're shopping around for a last minute gift for the Dad who has everything - we've got an idea for you inspired by a nasty run in with a pinched nerve.

This particular model will cost you a pretty penny, but if you've got about $10,000 you want to take off the top of your taxes, call it an office upgrade and write that thing off.*

Or - forget the accounting monkey-work and go for a lower cost version, like this awesome zero-gravity version from Brookstone.

Here's a tip- you can save even more if you don't mind taking home a chair that's already had it's seat warmed....so to speak. This pre-owned chair will cost you about 1/4th as much as the cyber-relax model.
