6'6" bloke, spec me an office office which will do the business, £300 budget

pitchfork · 6 Sep 2013 at 13:05

As per the title, I'm 6'6", heavy set and I'm after an office chair to stop the unpleasant back and shoulder ache after a gaming session.

I did look at herman millers second hand and stretching my budget but no one does size C because apparently they're just not worth buying by the time size C users get done with them.

I'm after something incredibly sturdy and supportive, and armrests are a must. Standard sized office chairs are too short to offer me any kind of decent back support.

Sorry, your mum bought the last one and hung her clothes on it

In all seriousness, even though I'm fat I go to the gym 3 times a week, I can run a decent distance, do a good few chinups. I'm not an unfit couch potato type I just love food, more looking for a seat that'll do my height.

aye she said you were a firecracker mate

dunno if it's any use for you, but i've got this one:

and it's grand. i'm 6'3, and there's still a bit above me when i'm sat down, and i've got about 4" either side of me (i'm fairly slim). have a butchers on the ikea site for dimensions if it looks suitable.

I'm 6'5" and use a Herman Miller C. I got it 2nd hand for £300 (after a bit of haggling) is (still) immaculate.

pitchfork · 6 Sep 2013 at 14:02

If you know a site where I can get a herman miller C second hand i'll snap it up, tried all the websites I can find, ebay.
Closest I got was some con artist running a what looked like a scam on gumtree.

Aside from that it's all B's and A's or they're private sellers miles and miles away.

Twist, whats the chair called dude?

Markus mate

pitchfork · 6 Sep 2013 at 14:13

How sturdy is it? I've heard the back likes to rock back and forth a little bit and that annoys me no end.

Not sure about the lack of arm adjustment either.

twist3d0n3 · 6 Sep 2013 at 14:46

it does a tad, but i've got it completely reclined most of the time so no issues there

tbh the arms are at the right height for me, so never been an issue.

Is the arm padding any good?

-BA- · 6 Sep 2013 at 19:09

Yup Ikea Markus. Love it. Not many reclining office chairs out there where you can lock it in any of its reclined positions. Great for chilling out in.

This is the only Office Office I could find

Dis86 · 6 Sep 2013 at 20:38

Ahhh, so that's what an office office is!

So you dont have a figure like a Pitchfork?

nands · 6 Sep 2013 at 21:28

I'm 6'7" and if I find a chair that is just right the desk is too low!

I have given up and fold my legs under, I would love to get stuff to fit but it is just too impractical for others.
