MARKUS

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.

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

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

Looks clean! Please get a better chair tho. Going from the IKEA Markus to a Herman Miller was life changing and worth every penny.

Yeah that sucks. Desks like that really shouldn't be used for long work sessions. The only solution is to change the desk, so that it has the thickness of a normal desktop, like 3-4cm. Yes, the narrowness of this space is also really awkward. You need more space so you can move around, stand up, str

Don't go for one that looks super padded that you can sink into. In my experience, the padding doesn't last and then they become very uncomfortable. I have an operator chair that cost over 200 quid and while it doesn't look the comfiest, it still feels as firm as it did a few years ago and it forces

C300 is a mid chair. Not awful, but nit great either. I personally think it’s better than the IKEA Markus and Staples Hyken.

I fully agree. There is a leap in quality from Sidiz to any of the 3-4 big chair brands (Steelcase, Haworth, HM and Humanscale). Just like I believe the T50 is a big leap from the previous "cheap" level (Ikea Markus and Jarv, and those are a big leap from everything else big box or "gaming" chairs).

quite different from my old IKEA Markus chair :D but definitely a worthy upgrade :D

My chair is 22kg which makes it weight 48lb. Which is heavy as fuck but prevents it. My chair is the Ikea MARKUS btw.
