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.

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

Ki milyen széket használ gaminghez?

/Általános infó, bárkinek hasznos lehet a jövőben/ A legtöbb magyar office és bútor boltban kapható szék megtalálható tucatnyi név alatt más helyeken. Itt általában drágább, mint pl. Amazonon, vagy az "igazi" gyártótól (EU-raktár, nyugi) rendelve. De helyi shopok között is jelentős eltérés lehet.(Né

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

Does expansive makes it better? (Gaming chair)

agree and disagree, though I agree with the gaming chair and desk are a scam I also think spending more on a good office chair is better than getting something like the Markus or Matchspel from IKEA, chairs like the leap v2 or aeron etc (yes it's quite a lot more expensive) but if you're gonna be sp

My productivity setup

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

Chairs for building

I build at my computer desk, so an office chair. I actually just bought a new ergonomic chair, a Flexispot ErgoX. Pretty good, with lumbar support that borders almost on the too aggressive side. But it's miles better than my Ikea Markus chair.

What is something that is incredibly expensive but is actually 100% worth every penny?

I sat in the ikea markus for 8 hours a day, so mneh. The shittiness of the markus is only really a durability and adjustability thing. The seat is going to fall apart after a few years and need reupholstering or replacing. Comfort I think will vary by body type. I tried other chairs in the hm store

Desk is too high and looking for solution.

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
