Anyone know anything about ergonomic desk chairs? [View all]

It's not that I'm having any specific back problems right now, other than a little sciatic nerve discomfort. I really just need a new chair.

I haven't had one of these since the 80's, but I like the idea and the look. About $80.

I don't want yet another cheap Chinese pleather chair. I hate them.

Is there any other style I should look at?
