      I know you got downvoted to oblivion but i kinda agree it's really gaudy and obnoxious. It looks like a 12 year old designed it and thought it was radical. Reminds me a bit of the PS5, actually.

        It seems gamers who like terrible designs are easily triggered. It really is an eyesore and by others accounts it's also a heap of shite.

    Are these any good as normal office chairs? Just need one for home and thinking of going to uni less and study more at home next semester to save parking fees and fuel.

    Bought a Baku medium chair from office works and the cushioning pads are gone within one year and it feels like sitting on hard metal now. Very uncomfortable.

      You want the ugly ergonomic chairs they use in places like Govt offices, about $250 from a proper office supply company, none of that trash-tier garbage they flog off at Officeworks

          These sorts of things which are not much more expensive than something from Officeworks but is built in Australia. You want a chair certified to take a whole lotta ass for a long period.

      Keep an eye out for a Buro Metro if they still sell them - I heard OzB raving about it and bought one to see. Still going strong over 3 years later and seat is still cushiony, used daily for 2-6 hours pre-Covid. They are closer to the $300 mark though but beats anything Officeworks would have.

  • wombat1955 on 17/07/2020 - 19:40

    I would recommend getting a gaming chair with adjustable arm rests. I've had one for a couple of years now and would not go back to a fixed arm rest.

  • jayboi on 17/07/2020 - 19:42

    Would rather pay the extra $30 to get this officeworks one https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/bathurst-r… that at least has warranty and doesn’t have crap quality like this. Also office works has many colours avaliable as well.

      I brought this exact one myself, but now 2 weeks into waiting for my order, which is why I went looking for a different one and found this Blitzwolf model and shared it as a deal. Now on the fence about canning my officeworks order as they can't tell me when it will be in stock for pick up (the website seems broken and none of the stores in my area have it in stock although it shows as 'in stock').

          +2

          No but

          The safety castors have a pressure-sensitive brake mechanism that keeps the chair in place when you stand up, and releases automatically when you sit down.

    They seem ok, but don't think I'll be able to do 8 hours in them

    They are replacing a kitchen table chair

    At 6'4 and 100kg I'm struggling to find something as comfortable as the Herman Miller's we had in my old office.

    • Diogenes on 19/07/2020 - 14:36

      Weren't Aerons the chairs that were the archetypal "failed startup" going-out-of-biz sale chairs back in the day? I think Silicon Valley did an episode where they got a bunch of stuff from a different startup who ran out of runway.

      [Update: apparently not. They were Sayl, and the CEO chair was a Wau … Waus are only USD$499]

      My dream pro (not home) ride is Altwork Signature Station for a lazy USD$7650 - I'm not important enough to get one on the company dime. Hard to envision how to put a 6-monitor setup on it, but that's a problem for later.

    I always find these gaming chairs interesting because they seem to have really useable neck rest areas unlike the crap you see at officeworks. Even the Aeron chairs don't come with neck rests. Also the lumber support is quite good with those pillows as well and that is usually a hit and miss.

  • RobotWizard on 18/07/2020 - 19:35

    I have a similar chair I bought for $150 but without leg support.

    exactly the same design with back and neck suppport.

    My personal review is they're really really crap. worst chair I've owned in a very long time. they look good but that's about it.

    Base is super thin on mine and back is way too stiff(not spring loaded where you can lay back if wish too)

    You can adjust the back but I've tried many different positions but it's uncomfortable in every position.

  • portard on 18/07/2020 - 20:03

    Guys stop buying gaming chairs. Bucket seats are designed for RACING to keep you in place, not to sit on your arse for 10 hours while playing World of Warcraft. They are stiff and rigid, the back support pillow is shit and is not one-size-fits-all. What you want is a proper ergonomic office chair with adjustable lumbar support because again, everyone is a different size and shape. Also this chair looks fkn ridiculous

  • Bow-Tie on 18/07/2020 - 20:31

    own one, cannot recommend. The back is flimsy at best, feels loose and rocks back and fourth; The pillows that come with it are absolute rubbish and doesnt support anything unless you sit way back. Only pro i can think of is i can recline is quite low and sit in a laid back / almost lying down position to console game, other than that cannot sit long in this thing without my back dying. Good for a cheap chair and temporary solution (i'd rather use my dining chair)

  • Diogenes on 19/07/2020 - 14:16

    Unless you're a 15 year old ectomorph, avoid this.

    Third time I leant back in it, the bottom right corner weld in the backrest broke - rendering the backrest completely useless.

    I'm 100kg on a bad day, and when I opened up the backrest to examine the damage I see that the pipe used is about the same thickness as curtain rods, and the welds are a single tag where the vertical piece of pipe is held onto the weld by slag.

    Sadly I can't post an image here; you better believe I've taken a bunch of photos.

    Suffice it to say that the " Manufacturer's Suggested Maximum Weight: 150kg " must refer to using the thing as glorified stool (i.e., putting no weight on the backrest; never tilting it, let alone laying it back to any real extent). Either that, or someone who has elephantiasis in their lower body.

    Big mistake for Banggood to claim that this was a local supply: it brings it clearly within the purview of the Australian Consumer Law, so I'll get a refund. They can pay to have the carcase picked up if they like: this is a construction-materials defect and can't be remedied by replacing it with another unit made of the same crappy curtain-rods.
