That's a Steelcase.  I've never sat in one but they have a good reputation
and Steelcase is certainly a quality manufacturer.  You can see their
product line at
<http://www.steelcase.com/na/task_work_chairs_products.aspx?f=10269>.

If you're in that price range you should also be looking at Herman Miller
<http://www.hermanmiller.com/CDA/SSA/Product/Thumbnail/0,1593,a10-c440-pc1,00.html>
and
<http://www.hermanmiller.com/CDA/SSA/Product/Thumbnail/0,1593,a10-c440-pc39,00.html>
and Knoll <http://www.knoll.com/products/productline_7.jsp>.
