Recommendations for Chair & Desk

[Pachx]

I will recently be beginning my transition from laptop to full desktop working and gaming. Currently I am operating off of a high-performance ASUS laptop, a very good keyboard sitting on top of the laptop's keyboard (stock ones suck anyway), sitting in an armchair with the right arm cushion as my mouse pad. Pretty much as ghetto as it gets. I will be beginning the desktop build in a few weeks, and seeing as I can't easily fit a monitor vertically in my lap with the keyboard and everything hooked up to the case on the floor with any comfort, I will also need to get an accompanying desk and chair. The desk will go in the corner of the room that I am putting it in, so something like this: http://www.target.com/p/techni-mobili-modern-l-shaped-computer-workstation-mahogany/-/A-10907364#prodSlot=medium_1_6 would work just perfectly (minus the 2003-style printer and magazines). 

 

Now comes the hard part. I am looking for a fairly good quality chair with vertical seat adjustment, tilt adjustment, preferably armrest adjustments, 250+ weight capacity, wheeled (duh), and a tilt lock wouldn't hurt. I don't want to invest much more than $150 into the chair, but many of the office chairs that I have found at places like Target, Staples, and Office Depot have pretty poor life length and performance. I would want something that doesn't start squeaking and leaning to one side after a few weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a specific chair or a good place to find one? It doesn't have to be very fancy, just a simple black office/gaming chair with the above features of good quality with a bit of style. The room it is going in has orange and dark grey walls, so any orange accents would be a big plus.

 

Also, if anyone has an idea for a similar desk to the one above of good build quality & longevity for $150-225 and would like to share it, that would be awesome. This one was just pulled off of Target's website.

 

Thanks!

For a chair under $150, I can't recommend much, mostly because any time anyone asks for a chair reccomendation I just say "GET A DX RACER, THEIR AMAZING WITH AMAZING SUPPORT AND ADJUST-ABILITY AND LIFESPAN AND EVERYTHING", but sadly, DX Racers are much more expensive than $150.....

 

As @Rampiks said,

The desk I am going to recommend is an Ikea desk, because those have great reliability and they look pretty nice. (A lot nicer then that target one that you posted a link to, That thing made my eyes hurt.) These are multiple desks that you purchase from Ikea that are part of a "family" (or whatever they call it) which basically means that they all fit together and match.

You could do any combination of one or two or more of these desks as a set to get your "L" shaped setup in any way that you want for under your price range of $150-225. These desks are very sturdy, have great weight ratings, cable management holes and cradles, and overall look pretty good. Mostl of them come in black or white with some in the series coming in some weird blue colors that look pretty ugly in my opinion. Overall these are great desks and by buying multiple of them you can fit your guidelines exactly and look good while doing it. Because in the end thats what its all about right? Looks. Oh yeah.

For a desk I would recommend checking you closest goodwill, habitat for humanity, St. vincent depaul etc. It goes to a good cause and often you can find business class desk for super cheap.

I have looked into the DX Racers, and think I will probably just up my budget for one of those. As the Formula series is the least expensive, I think that I will go with one of those. The orange and black color scheme should go very well with the room it is going in and the orange accent lighting I am getting on the case. Is there any real difference between the FE08, FE00, and FE11 other than the design and type of face material and the $25/50 price?

All of them are pretty much completely the same. When the price goes up in DX Racers the only other thing that changes is the design and a more premium material. You also get a silver base sometimes, so that's cool. But, other than that they're the same.
