    Guys note this is a chair meant for a meeting room, not a task chair - fixed arms, no lumbar or adjustable lumbar. If you're going to be sitting on it all day, your back won't thank you.

        7 years of working in the office furniture Industry is my experience - with a few different furniture companies. I never said anything about any other brands that you should buy, I just said what is the obvious with this chair.

        If people want a chair to sit in for 1-3 hours max a day, this will be fine. But since everyone is obviously working from home - this is not the chair to use all day.

    • dubfonik on 02/04/2020 - 09:10

      I've been looking for a good chair to sit in all day as my lower back has been suffering quite a bit. do you know of any chairs to look at? I have spent hours looking but there are so many brands, models and price ranges it really is confusing. I heard about the Herman Miller chairs but the price of $2000+ is a bit too much. I was hoping to spend about $700-$800.

        I am the same story as you, shite lower back. I have just ordered a Buro Mentor, Winc were cheapest (440 delivered for no arms in balc), but the delivery period is too long, so I went here - https://furnitureatwork.com.au/product/buro-mentor-mesh-ergo…

        The other one I considered if I were to spend more (into your budget) was Ergohuman who are currently out of stocks of everything but their full leather luxury until end of month - https://ergohuman.com.au/ergohuman-classic-vs-elite-vs-luxur…

        • aec on 02/04/2020 - 13:05

          they look good, but without trying, no one knows for sure if they do fit your body shape or preference.

          • snuke on 02/04/2020 - 14:47

            @aec: Yep, 100% guess, but can't try anything anywhere now.
            They do all seem to offer a return if it's not correct.

      • jaygee on 03/04/2020 - 10:33

        HM is more design over price friendly (i'd also argue their ergonomics is not up to standard for what they charge). I'd recommend 2 companies that will be more cost effective - Steelcase & Haworth if you're looking for known brands. There are a few good local brands as well, but I don't know as much about them as I'd like to.

      It is recommended for 8 hour consecutive usage at 120kg maximum weight capacity.

      If you are going to spend longer in the chair consecutively, absolutely recommend a different chair as per the above, the lumbar curve is integrated into the chair and not adjustable.

      I went through the more-difficult-than-is-necessary process of finding a decent swivel-back office chair for WFH purposes several years ago.

      TL;DR: Unless you're prepared to spend over $2,000 dollars on a high-end, ergonomic chair from the likes of Herman Miller, which while being ludicriously expensive are exceptionally good chairs (I use a HM Aeron at work), I found the only thing that came close to meeting all of the requirements I had (proper high-back support all the way to your neck, padded headrest, lumbar support, fully reclinable, breathable mesh on the seat-back for ventilation, arm rests and a variety of materials/colours) was the Ikea Markus. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, it comes in either a cloth fabric or faux-leather covering, a wide range of colours and it's incredibly durable and hard-wearing (I've had mine for years and the fabric has no rips or tears and it's very easy to clean, a sponge and a bit of detergent removes any stains I've had on it).

      • Top G on 01/04/2020 - 14:37

        I have had IKEA Markus for 5+ years. Incredible value for money, good back airflow during hot weather and all around adjustablity and support.

      • wbloodc on 01/04/2020 - 15:04

        The back of this chair is too straight up to my taste, and the seat is a bit small too. It feels like it's forcing you to sit straight at all time. Personally.

        • The Hobo on 01/04/2020 - 15:35

          probably by design!

        • Miami Mall Alien on 01/04/2020 - 15:59
          +3

          The seat is definitely not too small, I'm hardly a small person myself (6"2/90kg) and I can man-spread to my liking quite easily. If you remove the armrests (which I have done sometimes), then it becomes even more accommodating. The seat width is just over half a metre, so unless you have a half metre ass (in which case you missed your true calling as a rap video backup dancer), I think you'll fit.

          Because it's reclinable and has different levels of recline, you can simply tilt the chair back slightly, lock the recline position and then have it in a slightly leaned-back position so you're not sitting up dead-straight, if that's your preference.

        Thanks for highlighting this chair. Looks quite good.

        No stock however in any of the colours, until May at least.

      • CanberraCobber on 01/04/2020 - 17:39

        Yep, I got the ikea chair also… using for twelve months.

      • specks on 01/04/2020 - 20:52

        Ive been using my Markus for couple years now. I can vouch for its quality; however, I have been suffering from back pain when sitting on it for >6 hours a day. Everyone is different, so this chair might not suit everyone. I believe it is the lack of lumbar adjustment which is causing my discomfort. YMMV

      • socal on 02/04/2020 - 17:23

        I've been looking at the Markus and JÄRVFJÄLLET for this exact reason. Seems to tick all the boxes but without the crazy price. I would really like to try before I buy though, which probably isn't ideal in the current situation.

        How has the seat padding held up over the years?

  • iampoor on 01/04/2020 - 14:01
    +6

    I got this from Ikea

    https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/jaervfjaellet-office-chair-gunn…

    Very happy with it, comfy with adjustable lumbar and head rest. Adjustable seat depth too which is great.

    There are cheaper ones as well from Ikea.

    Officeworks was sold out of the one I wanted, seems like all sorts of computer peripherals are out of stock too.

    If you are after those try out CPL, Centrecom or Scorptec, I managed to get nearly everything I need.

    Now for a proper floor protection mat….

    • Miami Mall Alien on 01/04/2020 - 14:06
      +1

      Looks basically like the Markus I posted above, minus the arm rests. Even the dimensions are nearly identical.

      • iampoor on 01/04/2020 - 14:27

        I actually think it is identical! The one I bought is just cheaper as it is fabric, not leather :)

        Really happy with it so far.

      • TheContact on 01/04/2020 - 17:31

        Main change seems to be the adjustable seat depth, lumber support, and headrest. Looks like they cheapened out on the knobs and handles to fit the budget though.

    Hi OP,

    Chair looks great and I am about to purchase one, but just want to understand how difficult installation is. Would like to save on the $25 but don't know how difficult these are to put together.

    • Associatedworkingathome @ Winc on 01/04/2020 - 14:13
      +1

      G'day. It's not complex and comes with instructions, just a few pieces to put together. If you can do a basic flat pack, you'll be able to do this. Does that help?

      • Fabio08 on 01/04/2020 - 14:16

        Yes great, will install myself.

  • slackme on 01/04/2020 - 14:06

    $100 dollars cheaper if you prefer the Vissle dark grey over the Glose black Robust black

    • RooAvery on 01/04/2020 - 15:13

      The adjustable and lockable tilt function increases stability and control in different sitting positions.

      You sit comfortably since the chair is adjustable in height.

      Your back gets support and extra relief from the built-in lumbar support.

      The mesh material of the backrest lets air through to your back during long sitting periods.

      This chair has been tested for office use and meets the requirements for durability and stability set forth in the following standards: EN 1335 and ANSI/BIFMA x5.1.

    • 11CENTS on 01/04/2020 - 22:16

      For $78, its a pretty good solid chair, 100x better than what I had before.
