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.

Do you adjust the Lumbar support from time to time or just set it up once?

I'm 185 cm tall and weigh 110 kg. I switched from Ikea Markus. The big problem for me is, the lumbar protrudes much more strongly, the more I recline in the chair. So if I sit upright, I have to protrude it 1/3rd of the way up to not sit like a shrimp. But when I want to recline, it suddenly pierces

6’3” / 190cm, long legs, looking for a comfortable ergonomic chair for 10–12h/day (budget friendly)

I bought it as, let’s say, a Christmas gift to myself. But for now I cannot complain, it is nice and

Need chair recommendations for back pain

Indeed. There are so many options and every chair has both negative and positive reviews. Lumbar support can actually be a hindrance in some cases, the IKEA Markus support is atrocious and hurts my back.
