I got a Markus today from ikea. So far, it's fantastic!

Aye, The Markus is a very nice chair. Had one for around 4 months now, could never imagine going back to a normal dining room chair etc. The ability to lean back a decent way and putting your feet up is invaluable when watching movies.

Take a peek at Staples. Lots of choice there.

The Markus is nice... But I got a cheapy Staples one instead, which fits me perfectly. Markus has lots of adjustability but if you can find a less adjustable, cheaper chair that fits you then that's not an issue.

Are the Markus arm rests padded or hard plastic ?

Pretty darn comfortable even after really extended computer sessions... does the job nicely for me!

I've got an Ikea ALLAK. Had it about two years I'd guess and it's still as good and as comfortable as when I bought it. As a web developing, PC gamer I spend a lot of time in front of the PC and time flies without yer bum aching!

I absolutely love it and can't believe it was £69.99, if I remember rightly.

I agree with z0mbi3, you really have to visit the store in person and try them out if you want to get the right one for _you_.

I have this chair, I've had it for some years and it's been pretty good. The downside is that I've gone through about 5 wheels on the damn thing, I have no spares left but I've been okay for a while.

That Argos one looks the same as the Staples on I have, which is a wee bit cheaper.

You could go for this one. http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/cata...67oxxqD3_Xzx_AxsPj:130mjlbo5?pr=H71&id=979261.

There are plenty of pictures in the Case forums, in desk and room gallery. Seems very popular and its fairly comfy also available in black. Also this is the discounted page @ 69.99 rather than 109.99 if you search for it.
