Some lead times are crazy, guess they are very popular or the opposite as you have to wait for them to be made/imported? Sofa/couch suites here take about 21 weeks or something insane.

Yeah, they're all custom made... tons of diff. options for the material for bototm, back, patterns, base, + about 10 other options.Originally Posted by Xander
I know ppl who've waited 21+ weeks for custom sofa/couch's too! Pretty crazy.
The chair arrived
Time to spend a week learning to use it and get it setup how I want
Todd how'd it go... I need a new chair. I want one that is comfortable leaning forward, and one that has adjustable armrests so it can fit against my higher than normal desk.
Awesome
When I`m at the office in another chair (not cheap either) it still is nothing like this guy.
The arm rests are my favorite! Since they can go up and down, slide in and out (for wider shoulders or desk position) and they also angle toward and away. Also all the other controls are AWESOME too.
After 2 weeks of getting my chair my back problems went away too. Now I just have wrist problems
Well worth the 900 or whatever it was it cost, I would buy it for 5000 to keep the back problems away

alright... you've convicned me...
I'm thinking aobut ordering direct from steelcase.com - they have some in stock so no lead time. They also have an affiliate program and free shipping and if they approve my account thats 10% off...hehe... affiliate marketing has perks doesn't it? Then if I like it I can blog about it and use the affiliate link
Awesome.

I believe you can make it cost more by changing the base material, and possible a few other things.
I`m not sure about where you live or you but I get hot really easily, so I put some sweatpants on the chair to sit on for extra soft/padding/airflow kind of like you do in a car seat. That's one thing you`ll notice is the chair itself is not "thick" like standard office chairs, it's thing, and conforms to you body. Also you`ll probably think why did it cost so much once you get it (or even now) after all it's a chair... heh, from what I read it's the research that goes into make these bad boys, and well worth it! I don't believe it cost more to make than a 300$ office-max chair. You just pay for the quality, warranty, research, and support. So, in the end WELL WORTH IT

True.
I got a 'foot stand' from some other website, it helps with the back relief too. It's falling apart though so I`ll be making my own one in the future.
They rejected my affiliate application, but I thought what the hell? Why not try to become an authorized dealer? I'm sure they must drop ship, hence your lead time, and even if they don't, I could also do shipping arbitrage. Profits on those chairs have got to be atleast 3 figures per unit. Maybe as high as $300 or $400 per sale.
Cool, let me know what you find out about the profit per-chair and becoming a dealer !
I guess I need to check these out. I have 2 Aerons now and I can't imagine a better office chair.
Those are good too from what I read.
