So my chair is pretty screwed up. I can see the plywood through the sitting-part lol...

And i decided I need a new one. So I went on amazon and was shocked by the prices. However I spend a good part of a day sitting in my chair, Up to 8 hours on the weekends and up to 5 hours on the weekdays... 

So I wanted a good, quality chair that will last me a while and will be comfortable af to sit in, as well as look nice.

On the German amazon (I live in europe) I found a pretty solid dxracer chair for 200 euro ex shipping https://www.amazon.de/Bürostuhl-Schreibtischstuhl-Chefsessel-Armlehnen-Stoffbezug/dp/B0056YNWVO/

Even though it's fabric, I think that it's pretty good value.

I searched the British amazon, and I found a best-seller chair from a not-so-popular-for-gaming company for 80 pounds, which is about 90 euro https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Designed-Racing-Swivel-Office/dp/B00KY055GU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479042839&sr=8-3&keywords=gaming+chair

Well my question is, is the dxracer worth it? Or should i just go with the cheaper version and spend that 110 euro on a PC upgrade?

I considered buying on of those DXracers too. 

As soon as i sat in it at a store i knew that i wanted something else.

My advice would be to go to a store that sell those and test seat yourself.

I opted for a business office chair where you dont't pay for flashy colours and a plastic racecar seat shell.

I have an AKracing chair which I bought in a sale (140 quid including shipping) and what I can I say? The foam is rigid so it may feel uncomfortable but your buttocks doesn't get sore after sitting on it for a long time, the lumbar support is...missing which isn't great considering that I sit with the most forward setting usually (as I force myself to  have a better sitting posture), I'd give it a 8/10 as the foam could give a little more and it had proper lumbar support rather than an oversized cushion :) 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...
