Desk, Office, Gaming Chairs?

My chair was here before I woke up, had a cup of coffee and just got done putting it together and sat back in it.

Then I closed my eyes and smiled and just sat there for a bit with my eyes closed enjoying the not hurting sensation.

Not the greatest, but not at all bad! I'm not sure what bonded leather is, this one is just PU (polyurethane?) and PVC. Comfy and wider than my other one, I approve.

 

Dont forget 100% vegan faux leather

 

Good call, I think I've had that chair and it's pretty comfy.

I know the chair I got isn't exactly the one I wanted either, but unless I can go sit in one I don't like spending a ton of money on them. It's one of those gotta try things to know.

What I do know is my back and my butt have felt a TON better ever since getting this new cheapish chair. Sometimes it's just fine to settle for better instead of perfect, and for me this was one of those times.

My last chair's seat was only 19" wide, I was squished and couldn't even sit in my chair with my legs crossed. This one is only 21-1/4" wide, but it's more than enough for me to sit with my legs crossed comfortably. (Apparently my knee got better too so I can do it again, WOO-HOO!)

Congrats on the chair Brit, you're gonna thank yourself the second day you own it. (I almost never fall in love with a chair the first day I own it, I need to sleep on it before it's "my" chair I think. LOL )

EDITED BITS: I'm also planning to keep my eye out for a really good office chair bargain, but I'd rather have a comfy one while I'm looking and not be desperate. Probably some great liquidation sales deals to be had before this epidemic/second revolutionary war is all over.

 

I'm semi in this market also.
My existing several year old DXRacer chair is distinctly worse for wear, don't think I want another racer type & not another one of the same faux leather stuff that flakes off.
Want one thats good quality but not all that expensive

The options are absolutely vast with a lot of pit-falls and/or scales up to really large amount of $$$
Those Herman Miller chairs look incredible but whew, a long way out of my price range

Anyone got experience with Formway/Knoll Life chairs?
Found suggestions that those are very good & I've found a nearby place that does 2nd hand ones at good $.

 

Whats wrong with a beanbag

 

Get a BIG bean bag chair. <roll>

 

Simple. Put it on a wheelbarrow.

Now it's at the right level and it has a wheel.

The mans a genius

 

An update since gaming nexus just released a video on the subject
and most important of all they agree with me

 

I have a gtoffice gaming chair on advice from ars technica and it sucks completely.

Go to your local universities excess material depot and buy a used chair. The last one I got was $10 and way better than the recommended gaming chair.

 

So what were some good executive chairs? My son stole the one I bought last year and both my german shepherds tackled me in my current office chair this morning and now it's left arm isn't quite connected anymore.

Any quicky recommendations?

 

Muzzles ?

 

Wouldn't help. They weren't biting/attacking me, Buffy was climbing in to my lap trying to kiss my face more and Pinky got jealous so she got behind me and jumped up on my shoulders and pulled me backwards where she could kiss me.

Looking at this one right now, it's on sale for $120us and I could have it Friday. I liked this one but thought $300us was a bit steep so I've been hunting.

EDITED BITS: A big nope to both, the seats are only 20" wide! :O

 

I got an Ergohuman a couple of months back to replace my nearly falling apart DXRacer gaming chair.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it so-far though its got its oddities/issues.

Generally solid construction though a bit cheap/more flimsy in a couple of places than I was expecting.
Doesn't creak while the DXracer did like a mofo right from the start.

The lumbar support feels pretty weird to start out but I think it actually works out pretty well.
The armrests have a lot more play than I was hoping for, like the MXRacer in that respect.
Arms tilt with the back which is very different & means I can't have them go under the desk edge like I used to.
Minimum seat height is about right for me, I'd like to have it up a bit from the bottom so I get some bounce.
It came with 2 different sets of wheels but I wound up yoinking the bigger, wider wheels off the DXRacer as the others don't get along with my carpet well. (as I write that I realise that is part of the reason I have the seat at minimum)

Major annoyance is the back only locks in 4 places & I want to have it about halfway between most vertical & first step back.
The tilt spring is nowhere near strong enough for me to let it free-float.

 

My chair is at a definite angle now and my back hurt yesterday from sitting in it, so I went ahead and ordered this chair which should be here Saturday.

It's less than I planned on and more than my wife wanted, so I figure the price is rightish. Feature-wise it looks pretty good, there's some other functions I'd like but then the price gets too high. Hoping this is a good balance. Either way I just want a less broken chair as soon as possible. :/

 

Go to scrap yard find a crashed Bentley take out the front seat (dont forget the electronics for adjustment and massage) - job done

 

My colleague recently bought a Lazyboy recliner chair, large wall-mounted 4K monitorable TV & a keyboard tray thing to go over the chair, dumped his desk & 2nd monitor outright.
Could be amazing & he seems pretty happy with it but I'd really have to try it out for a bit before I could commit to such a setup.
Plus the chair alone is 4* what I paid for the Ergohuman -> way outside my price range.
