Need help for a gaming chair in a VERY tight space.

kieran_read · 25 Apr 2016 at 20:00

As the title says really my space is very small.

I'm looking at the cheapest one the C80 (Don't have enough to buy the expensive ones but I need to make sure I can actually sit on it!) mind you the amount of use it will get I can stretch my budget!

The space I need to fit this in is as follows.

The clearance between the edge of my desk and my bed is 40cm the depth of my desk is around 50-60cm so the, chairs should tuck in nicely.

The height of my desk is just under 70cm, but I would like it so even if the arms are under the desk I can still rest my arms on them.

Basically I need a chair that i have enough space to actually sit on, for example can I sit in it if the chair is in that small area, if I rotate it 90 degrees is there enough space for me to climb into it.

Not sure how much people here could help me with this, the amount of space most people have is a like a open savanna compared to what I have to squeeze into.

EDIT: I need to get this delivered ASAP, the most realistic day is Saturday does the free delivery apply to Saturdays or only weekdays? or can I pick the time it will be delivered as the sooner the better but I wont get home from work till at least 6:30.

Thanks

I think the C80 should be adequate for your needs, it's not going to leave much room, but size wise, it's the best fit from the range we currently offer. Regarding delivery, I think there is a surcharge for saturday delivery.

How does it compare to the Vertagear SL2000, I think it was you (May have been another staff member) were saying you use it at work and prefer it to the one at home. How much bigger is it than the C80?

I figured as i'm going to be sitting down a lot, splashing out isn't exactly a waste of money as it will be used daily.

I've had things delivered on Saturday before when using free delivery, but I'm not sure if that is a standard thing, or just that the postal company sometimes choose to bung it in.

I had the SL-2000 for work for around 4/5 months, it was a decent chair for the most part. It does have the lumbar support/headrest cushions, but it's around £60 more than the C80, and probably a little bigger overall, so not sure if it would be ideal for your requirements.

Thanks for the help.

I think ill go for the SL-2000 they will both struggle to fit, but the back is more narrow on the SL-2000 so it looks like it will rotate more allowing me to get in it a little easier.

I think ill order Thursday night hopefully DPD will fail to deliver on Friday then come back on Saturday =P

They won't they'll come back on Monday, however if you order tomorrow and it gets despatched then you can pay DPD a fiver through the tracking portal and get Saturday delivery.

Hmmm I can do Monday if they deliver on bank holidays.

I've told you how to get Saturday delivery for a fiver, as long as it's coming with interlink or DPD.

Yeh I guess ill have to do that, thanks.

EDIT: Do you know how late they deliver up to?

Just to add a comment that I also have a really limited space for my 'office' - it's a cupboard converted and I have managed to get an SL2000 in there okay.
