Hi,

It seems that the mesh office chairs are quite the trend at the moment, are they really as comfortable or more than the traditional leather chairs? Thanks.

I had one at work.
Had to stop using it, because the mesh was eating the back of my pants.

Back of your pants? Was this the seat or the back rest? Was it still good comfort wise? I'm considering one of these: http://www.unofurniture.co.nz/product-category/office-chairs/mesh-office-chairs/

or this for leather: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1082931173

Right, do the actual seats on the mesh chairs have a soft feeling? Do they ever feel hard? A lot of these chairs are rated for 8 + hours sitting so they must have to retain some comfortability? I can't believe that some of the seats on these mesh chairs are just plain mesh with no padding, how that can be comfortable I don't get it..

I'm leaning towards a mesh chair though, they definitely seem to be the trend at the moment, light weight should make moving around nice and easy. As for comfort I will have to experience for myself but it should offer more than my dining chair!

Does this look comfy? I'm about ready to go for this.

Hello,
As you are asking for mesh chair I will suggest you to go for high back mesh chair. My brother last month got one for him. It is really comfortable due to high back support. He got a used mesh chair from this (http://www.officesolutionsfl.com/office-furniture-liquidation) online office store. As it is used chair i got it in low price.

Thanks. I got the one pictured above midway through last year and it's been a good little work horse so far. The mesh is cool in summer and the seat is nice and wide. I like the slim design over the bulky leather chairs.

Good to know you got it early. You just explain the mesh chair with exact words. Comfortable and cool.
