Need a new chair...

Kavalree · 12 Oct 2017 at 21:34

So, I've just bust my PC chair, leaned back and BANG, snapped a bolt...

It's a few years old, so has had some use.

Anyway, I'm looking for something new, and it has to withstand 150kg as I'm a big unit...

What do we reckon?

Lose some weight.

(kidding, whats the budget?)

I'm trying... Down from 22 stone 5, to 21 stone 2...

Anyway, budget... £150? Leather isn't needed as it's not nice in the summer, but leather is also nice...

Hmm

I'm 6'10 27 stone and my Herman Miller Aeron has lasted 10+ years. Need to double your budget though.

You have all this money and you will be dead to not enjoy it in 5 years.

2ndhnd.com is worth checking out, some bargains for good quality seats on there.

Herman Miller here but I am a flyweight compared you two chaps with published weights and I rarely get called a flyweight.

I found this on the OCUK site, looks nice, supports my weight also...
Anyone have experience of it?

It'll break.

Those gaming chairs are aimed at fools easily parted with their money. Save some pennies, buy a secondhand Aeron for 300.

Kavalree · 12 Oct 2017 at 22:45

I did not know that...
Sadly, at the moment, I can't afford £300...

Pray for a lottery win?

Gotta have that bucket seat tho to hold you in! Especially when cornering in the chair

What are Noble Chairs like? Are they highly durable? I have seen that they are rated for 180kg...

There may be one of those house/office clearance places nearby you - Worth a look.
Ours usually have some pretty reasonable solid office chairs in good condition, for quite low prices and certainly around the budget you mentioned. Try and find one designed for 24hr use, like on a Security reception, dispatch control desk or something, and/or that has a lot of adjustability.

Up the budget and get a refurbed Steelcase leap V1 from 2ndhnd.

That chair looks like if I lean back, it will break...
But at the same time, a "£900" chair for £220?
