Finally, for replacing the cylinder, there are tons of videos, but this one was a good start. My chair was really stuck and took some serious WD-40, time and the pipewrench technique, but it was pretty old and jammed in there after years of use. A new chair would probably be even easier.

I have a great chair at work so good I bought the exact same one to have at home too. Bye bye backache!

It is a Vitra office chair. I'm 6'6 with long legs, but have had backproblems with earlier bad chairs,
this one I can sit in for hours without big problems.

I'm 6'1" and I do medical transcription for a living in my home office.

I've got a Steelcase Leap Chair. Got one off eBay, without arms, at a decent price; it is good for people who weigh up to 300 pounds, and I am pretty near that now. It has a lot of adjustments available. The seat pan isn't all that big, but again, there are a lot of possible adjustments. I still have to pad up my chair, as I have old back injuries.

Steelcase also makes a "Criterion" chair (I think that's the name--you could check with your local Steelcase dealer), which is for heavier people.

I've heard other people recommend other kinds of chairs. Also depends on how much you are willing to spend; I had a limit of about $250, but there are many other ergonomic chairs out there.

Peggy has been extraordinarily helpful in providing lots of information about ergonomics and tall chairs. I encourage anyone looking to try some of these other sites, but also to contact Peggy. I'll keep reporting on my search as I go along, been a busy busy month.

I found this one a while ago (though my company ended up buying me a smaller one which isn't very comfortable)... http://www.seatingzone.com/product/SEA-9669GH
