Best desk chair?

[dark_xzyph3r]

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on a desk chair..

 

Could I get recommendations for chairs in these price brackets?

 

$100

 

$200

 

$350

 

$500

 

$1,000

 

I am wanting these price brackets because I can go up to $500 but a friend can go higher so I was just wondering.. Thanks

I usually shop in the about 500 dollar range for an office/computer chair. I figure if you spend a lot of time using something you need to get your money's worth. So this recomendation is in the about 500 buck range. Valo Viper is a fantastic chair and if you are a bigger person the Valo Magnum is the big and tall version. Took about 3 months worth of trying out chairs and sending them back to finally get one I was trully happy with.

I have an Arozzi Monza chair, it cost me like 160€-ish so it's between the 100-200 marks.

It's very comfortable but the build quality is pretty cheap, it's specced to withstand a 150kg person and came with 1 year warranty, but I dunno. I wouldn't really recommend one unless you really need this type of chair at the price.

I have one of these. I had so many issues with the shaft in the first year, it just wouldn't hold anyone's weight, and I kept forgetting to ask for a new one. Then an entire year passed and I finally got round to it, they not only sent me the shaft, but a new lever for the left hand side. Their customer service is outstanding.

Oh, I almost forgot, they also sent me a new arm rest after I broke the original.

You either want the Herman Miller Aeron or the Steelcase Leap. I have both, they're both great.

 

Aeron if you want to forward tilt, Steelcase if you want to lean back.

A chair is not like a monitor. A chair is much more important than a monitor. A 300 dollar monitor may not have fancy things like g sync, but if you are spending more on that monitor at the expense of a chair, you are literally degrading your quality of life now and in the future by doing so.

 

A chair is something you sit in and dictates your posture. Some people even sit in chairs for a very long time, maybe you do. If you do, then how you are sitting in the chair and the make of the chair can lead to permenant chronic physical ailments that can effect you for the rest of your life.

 

People ignore and don't think about these things becuase "Oh, I would much rather have that cooler screen! A chair is a waste!" They do that now, and then when they are older they suffer for it. Don't be that guy. Get a nice quality chair.

Another not so know product i recomend to alot of people are chairs from a slovenian company called Spilanis (http://www.spinalis.si/default.php?PageID=1&GeoLoc=2) All chairs are ergonomically designed for active seating. That means the chair forces you to the right posture and does not allow for any kind of slouching.

Er... I guess that your ass wants to feel like shit then.

Fuck that shit. I just bought one at a garage sale for 50 bucks, gave it a good cleaning, and have been set for the last 5, or so, years. Only problem has been the arm rests tearing, but that's because my chair area for the desk is small and every time I turn, I graze the side of my desk. And I do that like 200 times a day so... Duct tape tho. Ghetto, but whatever. Chair is comfy af for basic sitting, 15 hour gaming/work sessions, or taking a little nap.

 

Just looked at the brand and it's a Matrex. Actually googled and this is the chair I have so maybe I got lucky.
