pc chair

I would avoid the ikea and ****** rubbish. Have a look on ebay at some quality second hand chairs, They will be in the same price range, but will be much better for the posture, and much more durable.

something like this would be ideal.

Personally I'd want a chair that is new when sitting at my PC, not one that has been sat in by some other person....the one I have has no quality problems either - and I'm usually up in arms about bad quality stuff that doesn't last!

Dude, looks like you're one sweaty gamer. Check out that seat sweat! It's everywhere!

Eh?

That's the material, it's like satin/alcantara where it looks really weird from various angles and you can also write your name in it

I was looking for ages for a good ergonomic chair (having read a thread on OCuK about pc chairs)

Eventually found a mint condition Steel Case Leap for £165 and no delivery charge if within the M25 area

I feel I have found the bargain of the decade for myself

EDIT: this one if anyone is interested http://www.allardoffice.co.uk/index.php?page=product&cid=130&id=649

Ah right yeah that stuff, therefore very nice my man, makes me wish I wasn't sat on this carpy homosexual folding chair piece of £2 Ikea rubbash that's too low and squeaks. I want a nice chair that I can write my name in darnit

Yes steel case are another good example of a quality chair, also orangebox and boss.

No edit the name out do it, do it now!

But OcUK don't sell chairs, and don't quote the rules - I know them. In this instance the company I listed are not classed as a competitor unless the rules have changed.

It's exactly the same as mentioning I buy my cabbages from Tesco, they can also be classed as a competitor in certain instnces but not when discussing cabbages.

Hmm someone once got suspended for saying Staples though, if it's OK then all cool!

Did you know that bypassing the wordfilter is mod-speak for "Give me a suspension"?

mrk, do you know what the name of that chair is on their site?

At a place I used to work a few months ago they had some steelcase chairs. Steelcase Please was the model. Was the most comfortable chair ever, you could adjust everything on it. Very pricey though, but they are worth it if you use it all the time. Steelcase chairs all come with a 10 year warranty, which is good.

I've been looking to get a steelcase leap or please chair but I can't find any places to buy them in the UK. Plenty in the US though :mad:

Have a look here? I think these would be considered "good" rather than "cheap".

Some amazing looking chairs there with some fantastic design.

Well pricey though!

If you are willing to shell out £100 this:

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20103101

is what you want, single most comfortable chair...EVER, I have it and it is awesome./

This is a great chair. I've had mine for two years and it's still good as new, comfy, reclinable, mesh so good in summer, perfect really.

I used to destroy cheap £60 chairs from your average office stationery shop.
