Interested to know your thoughts on this. I'm currently using a 12 year old Markus!just ordered a protoarc ec200 based on the conversations here. Will feedback findings when it comes on Saturday
Sub £200 Ergonomic Chairs
- Thread starter fraps
- Start date
I doubt anything can beat a second hand £1000+ Herman Miller chair that is easily available for £150+, e.g., https://www.gumtree.com/search?sear...ord_correction=suggest&search_location=london
Delighted with it so far
Easily the best chair assembly instructions I've ever read and it's a really comfortable seat. Very pleased with my impulse purchase.

Recently bought the M57 Sihoo
I am am under 6' 1" and the headrest, even at maximum height, is too low. The lumbar support is also too low.
Have seen other reviews stating the same issue.
The chair itself: even when locking the tilt mechanism in place there is still movement (and noise). That will continue to worsen over time.
For £50-75 I would bin the headrest and put up with the rest. For £170 it is going back.

Must have got a faulty one maybe. I got mine for £130 delivered and it’s great.
Im 6’ 2” and was able to adjust the lumbar support to suit me. I don’t really use the headrest but it seems high enough?
That said I'm using it to WFH and not for gaming if that makes a difference.
For the money it beats all the other catalogue shop chairs i’ve had over the years
