I don't really see any Furniture sub forum so i'm posting it here.

 

I need a better chair and i have $250 to spend. Maybe $20 more if i need to.

 

I live close to Ikea and i see one chair i could get but idk yet.

 

Any suggestions peeps? Brands? Places? I don't want some cheap china made break in 1 year chair, I want a high quality chair that wont break the bank. 

 

Here's one chair i found so far. 

 

Should i get leather? or cloth?

Also im in the US.

 

Thanks!

take a look at DXRacer, but they are kinda expensive :)

I was looking at them! But they cost an arm... I would not mind though if it worth it. I'm a tall guy 6' 1", which one would you suggest?

cant really say, has been a year since i bought mine and new versions have come out since, but while their naming is not the best, they go up in classes allowing higher weight and such, but you are shorter than me so you should be fine with any of them.

I have my eyes set on this one eventually. Don't really like those bucket sports chairs, and this one's cheap.

Although this one kind of has my eye now, twice the price though,

I've purchased a Dx racer fabric chair a couple days ago, should get in soon. Really wanted to get one from www.needforseat.com but they're all sold out. Try that if you want an ''upgraded'' Dxracer.

I love StarCraft

The MARKUS is tall but it looks to be really thin and someone on YouTube reviewed it and it seems to be not really that great..

Its pretty good. If you have an Ikea you should go sit on each chair. Some like the one i posted are really small and feel very narrow. the markus is a bit wider and can get it really tall. I personally enjoy it.

I sadly cannot sit on the chairs because IKEA Singapore thought that hanging the chairs on the wall was a great fucking idea..
