While the looks of a chair doesn't make it feel any better to sit in, let's face it - no one wants to have to look at a butt-ugly chair day in and day out, even if it is just a place to put your butt.
In comparison to many other chairs found in office stores the Offer Star Space Chair looks quite high-tech and cutting-edge. But the Space Chair is in fact a copy of a copy of the Herman Miller Aeron, a classic mesh chair which ten years ago was considered the icon of upcoming dot-com businesses. Today the basic design of a high-back chair with a mesh back and wide seat remains one of the most popular chair designs for mid-priced office chairs.
There is good reason for this. While this Office Star Space Chair isn't nearly as beautiful as the Aeron, it is still more attractive than average. The mesh back looks sophisticated compared to most cloth-back chairs, and the cloth seat is thankfully adorned with a rather plain blue-and-black colored pattern rather than the strange, tacky patterns pastel colors often found on computer chairs. Make no mistake - this chair doesn't look as cool as some dedicated gamers chairs with their race-car inspired design. But it doesn't look like Honda Civic with a four-foot tall wing, either, which is a common problem with gaming chairs.
Editor's Note: A mesh back with upholstered seat is a great for gaming: avoid leather or mesh seats - they look great in the office, but your thighs will look like you have a rash if you sit on them in anything shorter than capris or board shorts.
