Russell Executive Mesh Chair

The Russell Executive Mesh Chair is the Aeron for people on a budget. I've had to sit in many, many different kinds of chairs in my inglorious temping career, and this one is by far the best. Both the seat and the back are mesh, so the chair breathes. The ergonomic control, while not nearly as complete as the Aeron's, is still definitely superior to any chair I've found in the sub-$300 range. As with the Aeron (which goes for twice that amount, or about $600-650 new), the arms are attached to the back, not the seat - and they're easily removed. It's light but sturdy (steel frame) and pretty easy on the eyes (a little bit biomorphic). I've been using mine since late last year and it's vastly improved my relationship with my desk.

Best of all, it's only $230 new at discounters.

I work for an internet retailer, sitbetter.com, and make it my job to keep up on what people say about chairs, and really, this is the first time I've ever seen a glowing review on an office depot chair!
Good that you found an affordable one that works for you!
