Recommend me a nice chair?
I spend 90% of my time on my desk (both vidya and work) so I'd like a nice one but I don't really know how to choose.
Are these "gaming" chairs worth it? I know anything with the word "gaming" on it becomes taboo but I dunno what else to look for.
I too, am always at my desk
so I went a step further
also got a fridge next to the desk
Gaming chairs are cheaply manufactured and overpriced. You will pay for design and that is it.
Get an ergonomic chair, one that is designed to do the least damage to your spine as possible.
These can get pretty expensive but there seems to be one available for all price points.
Just buy a nice office chair. Leather feels a lot better than the shit vinyl they use on gaming chairs.
>work
don't lie you fucking NEET
I'm actually in the market for a new chair and I'd appreciate if you could expand on this. I hear the chairs with the mesh backs are pretty top-tier but I confess I don't really know much when it comes to chairs.
Check out office furniture places. Go out there and sit on the chairs.
Also I know it's cool to shit on IKEA but some of their stuff is just great value. I don't know if their chairs are good or not but it's probably worth a shot.

Just go to your local OfficeMax or whatever store that sells chairs, try out the chairs and buy the one you like.
Tried an armchair for a day when my office chair broke. Fucking never again.
I saved up for a couple months for this and I can honestly say it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.
Aren't those usually more expensive than the office chairs?
Recommend me some? I don't really know where to look.
Can the backrest of those go down nearly 180 degrees? That's something I'm looking for too.
Ok not exactly work but I draw porn for money when I'm not video games.
You see I did research first and kept getting gaming chairs and thought to myself "eh these are too expensive" so I did like what you said and found out that the prices of these aren't actually that far from the "gaming chairs" (at least not the ones that aren't shitty, I need one with a backrest that covers my upper body).
So now I dunno if I should go for the gaming chairs or the generic office ones.
I've been considering the seat out of a luxury car, any idea where to look or is my luck just shit? By the time they get scrapped out the seats are messed up more than a cheap upholstery job can fix.
This is the only correct answer. Never gets hot (or cold, if that's somehow a problem for you), excellent support everywhere.
I'm apparently the only person here who fucking gets it. Now, you can, too.
This guy is okay but you don't just want the mesh on the back.
God dammit, where did my picture go?

These are the only chairs worth buying. My recommendation is the Aeron, it's basically the most well known office chair in the world, and because so many were bought for execs, there are plenty that pop up on eBay for pretty cheap.
Mine was 300 bucks a few years ago, and it's built like a fucking tank. The only negative to mesh is that if you like to move around a lot and slide against it, it will very slowly eat your clothes, and the dust/lint buildup on the back gets pretty crazy. But it's much nicer than stains or smells, which the chair seems impervious to.
This nigga's right on all points. The clothes eating thing is a little weird. And don't get one without the headrest unless you just hate headrests.
The best chair I've had so far is a $30 swivel chair I got at IKEA two years ago.

What more can you ask for?
Something that's not $300
The problem with the headrest is that it's mad expensive.
I bought a "cheap" fake leather one for 70 bucks, and it was a wonderful addition. You can spend a lot more for one that's mesh, but honestly, I feel like hair would get caught in it occasionally and just piss me off.
Why would you spend 50 bucks on a crappy chair that will destroy your back within a decade if it doesn't fall apart first, when you could spend a little more on something that'll probably last a lifetime? If the worst happens and the back gets ripped or something, I can just buy a replacement part. Good luck doing that with your chink chair.
Because the Aeron costs $1000 in my country, and no one sells them used
I wondered about the hair thing, too, but I've had mine at all relevant lengths (from shaved to... well, it's like two feet long, now) and it's never been an issue.
Strangely, the headrest's adjustment system turned out to be the chair's only letdown. It broke, but fortunately the slot the headrest's bar fits into still held it rather tightly, for a couple of years. It got loose, recently, so I just wrapped a little scotch tape around the very end and now it's tight again. This all actually turned out to be a boon -- for one thing, it's no longer adjustable in centimeter increments, or whatever it was, before. For another, I can just pull the thing out if I want to use the Rift, as it does legitimately get in the way, then.
Hope you enjoyed my blog!
