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

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?

I’ve used it myself got it from Xallking Australia, and it’s solid, breathable, and actually built for long hours. It’s mor

What's your record of owning a gaming chair?

Bought a Markus office chair from IKEA around 2 years ago. It's been fine really, but for some reason when I sit down it often pushes the chair a tiny bit down, so I have to adjust it up again. For someone at 183 centimeter I need every height I can get from this chair, and if it even sinks for just

IKEA Markus vs Herman Miller Embody Gaming—Worth the Upgrade?

It's difficult. There are very different approach to ergonomics and your body may not like the embody and still that would not be a proof of how this chair is great or terrible. I would personally do it because the Markus is a terrible chair for my morphology. None of the high end Ikea chairs are co
