Pretty straight-forward question. I already sit in an office chair for 8 hours a day at work. I want a good one for at home, but don't to spend $600+ on an ergonomic one.

Things to consider with my preferences / your recommendations
- Under $200
- Local Pick-Up (access to IKEA, Staples, Wal Mart, Target, etc) or Free Shipping
- I would prefer to have adjustable arm rests so I can elevate my elbows
- Something that won't make my back sweaty (open to mesh, leather, or fabric, just nothing too warm)
- I would like decent lumbar support, and shoulder/neck/head support of some sort

So, recommend away, friends! :thup:
 
FWIW I picked up a "used [I couldn't tell it had ever been sat in before]" Herman Miller Aeron (B) chair for $200 on craigslist.
 
Before I bought my chair I went to a couple of office supply retail outlets and sat in virtually every chair they had so that I could quickly assess their relative merits and demerits. I wound up spending less than I thought after determining what would make my 'ride' a long term pleasure rather than a disappointment/regret.
 
I would strongly suggest doing what Robert17 said. Try before you buy.
