Gamers are Toddlers
Gamer chairs have terrible ergonomics and the build quality is often ass. People only think they're good because they've only used something like a wooden kitchen chair or an Ikea Markus. Proper office chairs are far superior.

POV of gamers rushing to yell slurs after League of Legends added voice chat
Every time I look at setups like this my first and only thought is "there is no space for the mouse". The entire desk surface seems smaller than a G840 mousemat in both directions and leaves no room for the forearm for arm aiming. Also, the reclining chair doesn't seem particularly conducive to focu

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck
An ikea markus has better reclining mechanism and ergonomy, than most gaming chairs at 2x-3x price.You just have to look for something better, and not get stuck at "but gaming chairs are cheaper than herman miller"

Company has mandated 2 days WFH from next week. Help me set up!
I personally think standing desks are redundant unless you are constantly on video calls, you can just stand and work at your usual desk and see if that's comfortable. At least a 24 inch FHD external monitor is a must, you can adjust the size and resolution based on your use case. If you don't care

Europe makes the best chairs in the world. Here is what to buy instead of Herman Miller if you are in the EU.
If you don't want to buy US, you can also fetch some Sidiz (or Techo/white label-branded) chairs that are built in Europe despite being a South Korean design. Amazon used to stock these (namely the T50, but well, that's another US company...), but in Portugal I know they are sold by Guialmi and Marl

Does anyone own this chair? Is it even worth spending this much on a chair?
Rm600 isn't that much for an ergonomic chair. Ikea markus which i would regard as entry level ergonomic chair cost rm600. Its ergonomics are not top tier but its build quality is solid as it is made of metal. This chair seems to have many moving parts and it looks like it is made of plastic. Best wa

Where to go to get a good office chair?
Yeah the Ikea Markus is decent for the price. I got mine back in 2020. You should be able to try Herman Miller chairs at Living Edge and see if you can find a second hand one from FB Marketplace or somewhere

How much would you spend on a chair for your WFH setup?
If you are going for an Aeron, you really need to try before you buy. They come in different sizes based on size and weight. But the issue is in my experience seat pan isn’t adjustable so you need to make your legs are properly supported. Steelcase Leap V2 are also decent. You see them pop up the od

This is the 'Premium quality' of Secretlab gaming chair. Another OEM white label local company like Prism+. High priced chair from China, and marketed using sponsored KOL Influencers posting 5-stars reviews, but subpar quality.
Tiagong the best value for money chair is from ikea. Markus $199.

My Logitech collection is growing :)
The Ikea Markus is shit. If it's fits you out of the box that's great, but for the majority of users having an adjustable base, adjustable arm rests and adjustable lumbar support is a requirement so chairs actually fit us.
