Decision on new office chair

Mort · 28 Jun 2007 at 14:53

Hey all

I need to buy a new chair, my current one is getting holey and old.

Stuck between the following two :

Links removed - guess as ebay sell everything they must be classed as a competitor

So its a toss up between kickarse reclining bucket seat, or a chair almost exactly like my current one but with massage.

Anyone know if you can get these bucket seats elsewhere, as ideally want it blue + white for Reading FC colours

All black would also be cool though

Opinions?

that bucket seat idea is just a copy of the recaro office chairs, which are really awesome but cost the earth, and then a bit!

if i was well and truly minted i'd get one, you can get em to make it in whatever colour you want hell you could have the Reading emblem on the center if you wanted

Nice chairs their.

Though i would take out the links.

ROFL! those Recaro ones are STUPIDLY expensive!! I could buy a crap car for the price of one car seat converted to office use

Think a cheap knock off ***, as even if I was minted, I have no idea how they justify those price tags.

Might buy the bucket seat, then get the missus to buy herself the massager, so can still benefit from it if have a bad back

and she can massage my front at the same time

oh and ta for links warning

Are Staples a competitor? If not, have a look there.

Same here, not bad are they

Solid metal arms and base too.

I dont know if its just me but their site seems very broken, the search says it has a certain amount of products in the field, but the results show 1 or none

that white one looks good but a) its white, and b)its more or less what I have now without the padding. new chair needs either massage or pro bucket seat look

I may well get one of those white ones for home, pretty nice looking actually.
Myold workone broke, and the [swear word]'s wont buy me a new one, so have an old plastic thing now for 1986

Recaro is always expensive, but they make bloody good car seats, and they cost the earth too!!!

I have a Herman Miller Aeron chair, see this link...

I paid £250.00 for a second hand Aeron four years ago and I'll never part with it. It's the most comfortable office chair on the market.

The comfiest office chair I have ever sat on is a Keilhauer (so much that I got up and turned it upside down to see what it was). Will be at least £500 though, I'm afraid.
