New PC Chair

Kosmiche · 23 Dec 2011 at 13:16

Hello

...My pc chair of about 3 years is no longer comfortable so I'd like some reccomendations for a new chair.

I'd like to spend about £80.

Didn't do any research last time and just got a cheap basic leather chair and found it decent enough. But I'd like something more quality this time.

Thanks!

Hope I didn't make a mistake of posting this in GD instead of general hardware, don't let me down guys.

Searching is your friend

Otherwise this is your suggestion

In before Markus.

Also I sat in one the other day. Horrid thing!

Trust me when I say that would buckle, I am quite the portly gentleman.

I bought this the other day, and can't believe how good it is for the money.
Highly recommended.

i hear these are pretty good: clicky

but seriously, if its comfort you want, the staples kashmere is the best your going to get. i went into staples a few days ago with the intention of getting a ~£50 chair for christmas. after 2 seconds in the kashmere my parents were £120 poorer.

theres a thread knocking around gd about the kashmere. the general verdict is:
- comfiest office chair on the planet
- the screws in the arms will get loose no matter how much you tighten them
- if you get the leather one, you will get cracked leather on the arms
- the paint will come off the arms in a couple of years time

Thanks Kelt that looks very similar to the one I have, a step up in quality though looks like.

If anyone can find something similar but in chocolate brown I would be most thankful.

PhillyDee · 23 Dec 2011 at 13:26

Same as this one:

Awesome chair! So comfy, and I am a lard arse as well, so doubly good!

Reaper that looks brilliant.

I guess black again would be ok, thats probably the one I'll go for.

worst "i did a poo on my chair and dont want people to notice" post ever

Kosmiche · 23 Dec 2011 at 13:28

Yeah that's it.

Not because I have a brown sofa in the same room, oh no.

Thanks, it looks even better irl.

I wouldn't have bought a markus I want plush comfort

I've sat in the Staples Kashmere chair, it feels nice but for a portly gentleman I wouldn't recommend it. It seems a lot thinner than other chairs around. I'm only 12st and I even thought it was too thin, and the arms are quite high too.
