Need new chair

Spec-Chum · 14 Jun 2016 at 23:56

My current one, while looking OK still, was cheap as chips (£80) and now hurts to sit on for more than 5 minutes as it's lost all it's cushion bounce, especially on the (fixed) arm rests. There's now pits where my elbow goes.

I need:
Red and back so it matches my colour scheme
Height adjustable arm rests so it can fit under my desk
Reclining back, this is a 100% needed feature

Budget around £200.

I'm 5'9" and about 90Kg, if that matters.

Spec me a chair! lol

Check out the SL-2000 series from Vertagear, ticks all your boxes and within your budget. I'd say it's the best option for your requirements.

Spec-Chum · 15 Jun 2016 at 15:54

Awesome thanks.

I see there's a few more for not much more. Would you recommend the same chair if I say up to £250?

I don't mind spending a bit more if there's significant improvement.

I'd consider the SL-5000 on that basis. Nicer than the SL-2000 overall.

SL-4000 looks nice, great reviews around the web too.

I wanted Red and Black then saw the Carbon...

SL-4000 are great, but they are a little more restrictive then the other models from experience due to the raised 'wings' at either side of the seat, and the raised area in the middle which might not suit everyone's natural sitting posture. SL-2000 and SL-5000 are less restrictive in that respect.

Spec-Chum · 15 Jun 2016 at 21:15

Hmm, I see what you mean.

ChugNorris · 15 Jun 2016 at 21:17

For me, if you have the budget, get the SL-5000, you won't regret it.

No red and black version of that I take it?

Budget was never really an issue, I just set what a thought was a reasonable upper limit.

The SL-5000 is definitely doable.

Just black/carbon on the SL-5000 currently, don't think there are any plans to expand the range.

Spec-Chum · 16 Jun 2016 at 10:35

I'll taken on board your suggestion and I think I've decided on the SL5000 which is now I my basket.

I've actually got a query which I've raised on the CS part of the forum, could someone have a look for me?

Thank you

ChugNorris · 16 Jun 2016 at 11:27

I've alerted CS to it

Spec-Chum · 16 Jun 2016 at 11:33

I've had a reply, I'll be calling in half hour to place the order.

You've got a sale Chug

Welcome to the gang

Spec-Chum · 17 Jun 2016 at 10:37

Lol cheers.

Excited about a new chair, I must be getting old

Spec-Chum · 18 Jun 2016 at 12:13

Currently sat it in

Was extremely easy to build, took 5 minutes (2 of us) and very comfortable.

Only thing is it's so customisation compared to my last chair it takes ages to set it up perfect for me haha (not really a downside!)

Spec-Chum · 18 Jun 2016 at 12:25

Only thing I've noiced tho is that the gas lift didn't come with a telescopic cover, it's not mentioned in the parts list in the instructions so I didn't think much of it but there's one in the images?

Spec-Chum · 24 Jun 2016 at 15:38

Can you just confirm that the chair should come with the telescopic cover please?

ChugNorris · 24 Jun 2016 at 16:12

Just checked with Vertagear, telescopic covers were removed on recent shipments, I need to update the images, they were removed due to the position of the gas lift in relation to the base changing. I will update the images in due course. It shouldn't impact the function of the chair and personally I don't use the one I have.

Spec-Chum · 1 Jul 2016 at 10:17

Sorry, missed this.

That's cool, thanks for checking.
