OK perhaps the most unusual post in a while...........
I'm looking for a place to buy an office chair but there is a twist:
-must be fairly high
-adjustable
-have back support
-have arm rests
-CANNOT HAVE ANY WHEELS/CASTERS
It's for the bridge of a ship and can't be rolling around. Should be someplace in GTA so I can pick it up. Any of you have anything like the above in your offices and could give me a manufacturer name?

It would be a chair sort of like a draftsman or architect would use.

I have 2 of those, 1 with the screen back in black
and 1 with the plastic back in LIME GREEN... :lol:
I bet im the only one who bought a lime green chair for 1000$
they are purely amazing, but I prefer the cheaper one with the plastic back because the lumbar support adjust better and can be slided up and down, while the screen back one can not adjust height on the lumbar.
I highly recommend those, and ask them to make you small anchor to replace the wheels.
:)
For anyone who say anything else, I dont even care. try having one for a year and see.... thats if you can afford it.

Problem is they are worth every penny they ask for. I have never, EVER sat in a more comfortable chair. They are the only chair I've ever sat in for 16 hours and never once thought about how sore my back/but/arms were getting.
I'll probably own my own aeron before I own a proper bed.
now, finding a chair for $300 is a whole other matter.. I just don't know of too many that you can find for that price range. I've seen the training video Andrew, I know that most chairs $300 or less won't hold the cargo you're looking to seat...
oh, and most chairs with coasters can be retrofitted with screw-in feat... well, the ones over $300 I typically look at.
edit..
when you say drafting chairs, do you mean..
