chair recommendations?

[ursula]

I need to buy a computer chair. In fact, five minutes with the OSHA website suggests that I need to buy a chair, a desk, a keyboard, a flatscreen monitor, and maybe a mouse substitute, but buying a chair and improvising a footrest seems like the place to start. (I've been using one of the heavy green dining room chairs that alaric gave us years and years ago, and my heels don't touch the ground.) Anyone want to recommend a chair? It should be comfortable for short people, and you get bonus points if it looks like it belongs in a living room rather than a cubicle.

Well, you could try an exercise ball that's bigger than normal, but if the desk's too tall, then what you really need is a stool-chair--one with an attached footrest. If you're sitting too low to the desk, you'll hurt your wrists, but if your feet are dangling above the floor, then your legs will fall asleep.

Ever considered a keyboard tray? Though they range from flimsy cheap to insanely expensive, you can probably nab one on craigslist that would work for at least a trial...

Yeah, my wrists (or technically my right index finger) don't love me so much this week (so of course I had to ask the internet about it).
