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.

Help me choose a desk chair

I woiuld advise against an Ikea desk chair. I've had the 1st and 3rd one. The Markus (1st) is decent, but very one size fits all and I didn't use it for long enough to see how it holds up after a year. The 3rd one was really great at first, but wore out very quickly and ended up making my body feel

Finding ergonomic / gaming chairs for 6ft+ tall people

Try out an IKEA Markus - I’m 6’4” and it’s perfect for me, going on 10 years with mine. Much cheaper than a lot of the other branded chairs too

Need help finding an comfortable chair

I always try sitting in chairs before buying too, and the closest showroom I could find where I live was Sihoo Australia. But since you’re not in Australia, ahahaha, you can check IKEA. At IKEA, the MARKUS felt comfy with good back support, while MATCHSPEL was firmer and a bit snug. Really, focus on

Steelcase Gesture, Leap, or Amia

and will allow me to sit cross-legged periodically. I cannot do that neither on the Gesture @ work or my Leap V2, i could on my Ikea Markus, but to be honest, i gained 25kg since my trashed my Markus. Aside of that, i like both chairs but if i had to choose, i would take the Leap for the recline.

Anyone can recommend a comfortable chair for a +80kg dude?

At this point can get the Ikea Markus chair la if it's available near you. Can try first also. I personally don't like it (I am short and I don't like headrests) but a lot of people like it. Slightly over your budget though

$90 Amazon gaming chair — am I gonna regret this in 6 months?

Honestly, yes. They’re mostly the same rebranded stuff and don’t really hold up if you’re sitting 6–8 hours a day. If you want something that actually lasts, go for the X5 Pro. I’ve used it myself got it from Xallking Australia, and it’s solid, breathable, and actually built for long hours. It’s mor

Suggestion between Sihoo m59as/m57 or Ikea Markus?

all i know is Ikea Markus is a chair that are good for people having high heights, at least 180+. I never tried Sihoo series but if you want Ikea chair so badly, try Matchspel instead. Same price, but shorter. I used this 5 years and durability is the one thing you don't have to worry about. Headres

Hobby Chair Recs

I actually just picked up a new desk chair from IKEA recently. The Markus - Large. They have this chair in 2 sizes and I have had the standard sized one for years as my home office/hobby chair, but I picked up a Large for my office at work and it's super comfortable, even for 8 hours a day. It's a b
