That's tremendous value and it will be miles better than any new £100 office chair on the market. I bought a Steelcase Leap v1 for £80 back in 2008, and since then only look for bargain refurb/used chairs from reputable manufacturers. I'm thinking of going Herman Miller Aeron in the future...
Anyone have an office chair recomendation (sub £500)

It was probably the best purchase I made this year. My back has been much happier since changing from the “gaming chair” market.
I’d love to buy a Mirra 2 actually but after finding such a great deal, I now find myself in full blown chair bargain hunt. I’ll not buy until I find that golden unicorn again!

I’m in the market for similar, but don’t know where to begin! It can’t stick out too much from my desk when tucked in or it’ll obscure the view of my main tv.

Amazing deal mate
Facebook marketplace win. It’s difficult to find a good chair on there because of all the big refurb sellers these days.

I find chairs way over priced.
Do you mean £100 is too much for a decent chair, or you are struggling to find a chair at a similar price?

Are you still happy with this? Looks like a great chair for the money. Thanks

What did you go with in the end? Happy?
Yup, happy customer. For reference I am 6ft and 100kgs if that helps at all
Of all the non-Herman Miller/Steelcase/Humanscale chairs the Flexispot BS8 looks to be one of the best options. It's Which? Best Buy rated (last checked Dec. 2023). Review notes:
"This is a very comfortable office chair that our ergonomy experts didn’t hesitate to recommend for home use. It’s easy to assemble and the build quality is good too, which is why it gets a high enough score in our tests to become a Best Buy."

Really tempted to buy one myself. My current chair is very comfy, but it lacks arms that I could really use.
Edit: bought one!

Oh my goodness its comfortable, wow!
It's one of those purchases where you are questioning why you didnt do it a long time before! I did go back and get some rollerblade wheels for it afterwards as I have hard floors and thats a great little upgrade.

Absolutely. My old chair was pretty comfortable, but this is like a throne
The arm rests are the biggest plus for me. I didn't expect the mesh to feel so comfortable. The body of the chair is decently narrow too, which is key so that it doesn't block my other screen when tucked in under my desk.
I've just bought a footrest too - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C8836PN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Thanks for the heads up on this chair
