    Yeah most companies always revert it back to their original price for a few weeks then black friday they can say 60% off etc to draw in the suckers because that's what it's actually worth quality wise and now because they have excess stuff just drop it again to get rid of it. JB did it for their galaxy buds left it at $249 just so they could legally advertise it as 50% off and have it on their main catalogue page..

      The chair was a new range prior to black Friday. It's only dropped in price. $89 was probably a fair price but I think $59 for a cheap kids gaming chair is a bargain.

        Why do you say ‘kids’? I only ask as I am considering getting it for myself for a work from home chair.

          Young gamers etc. Recommend going and trying one. Not sure I'd do a full day's work from this style of chair.

          That being said a proper ergonomic chair will usually set you back a bit more than $59.

          If you’re WFH at least 3 days a week and 8+ hours a day invest in a proper office chair. Might set you back $400 but will last longer than this.

      1) longer than you might think.
      2) not as long as you hope.

      Spend money on a decent chair for 8+ hours.

      My experience of PU leather is that it does not last very long before it starts flaking off. As for the concrete, I didn't have that issue. For the price though, I guess it's worth it.

    • Richardc on 10/12/2021 - 09:13

      True, but the issue is that all these office/gaming chairs are ridiculously overpriced. I paid $160 for the finest Chinesium junk that I'm currently using.

      • Poor Ass on 10/12/2021 - 09:30

          I was complaining less that they were junk, and more that I had to pay premium prices for said junk. My criteria was cloth, rather than fake plastic leather. I also wanted something bigger than a "student" chair. The cheapest I could find was $160, and it was still junk, even at that price.

          • Poor Ass on 10/12/2021 - 10:48

            @[Deactivated]: fabric is the way to go I agree.

            Only thing decent would be those Matrix Ergonomic Chairs but not the price

            • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2021 - 10:58

              @Poor Ass: Kogan are selling Ergolux Brooklyn for $129, which is kind of okay I guess. I got a popup for $5 off first purchase voucher, so $124 delivered with free trial of Kogan First which isn't too bad, but Kogan.

              • Poor Ass on 10/12/2021 - 11:18

                @[Deactivated]: you reckon it's that same stuff inside pleather but just no skin?

                • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2021 - 11:35

                  @Poor Ass: I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean the Kogan chair, it does say fabric. If you mean pleather generally, then I think it's just a mix of artificial materials compressed to give the appearance of leather, but without any of the durability.

                  • Poor Ass on 10/12/2021 - 15:12

                    @[Deactivated]: nah I meant the Kogan chair looks like those pleather chairs without the pleather…. just the foam with a layer of fabric

    It's suitable for between 3 and 5 hours of use.

      I bought a secret lab chair and it’s my daily driver. I had a JBurrows gaming chair from OW and had all sorts of back and coccyx pain.
      The Secretlab one seems to be all it claims to be, no pains anywhere.

      • Haoru on 10/12/2021 - 10:19

        Also I have had great dealings with customer service, I have had the chair for 6 years and the bottom recently started flaking.
        I hit up the support and they sent me out a new seat base for $80

      • isaiah247 on 10/12/2021 - 10:49

        Which model of the secretlab may I ask?

          +1

          Ive got the Titan. I can sit in it for like 15 hours a day on a lazy weekend and no pain. Only issue with mine is the gas lift is gone, so if I sit at a certain tilt it will slowly drop. Or maybe I'm just too fat. I wouldn't buy another, as I have the below one at work and it's just as comfy at nearly half the price + the mesh back is great for summer.

      • Danneo on 10/12/2021 - 10:57

        Which model? What about the secret lab causes no pain compared to the other racing chairs? I’ve seen the original model and it just has a pillow for lumbar support which is :/

        • Dodg on 11/12/2021 - 11:06

          I got the Titan XL and it solved my pain as well. I'm 188cm tall, sat on it when i was 100kg down to 80kg now. Middle back pain/neck strain gone on top of the stretching/exercise I had started doing a year prior to even getting the chair.

          Office works chairs have all been pretty terrible for my issues. Racer gaming chairs only good for a few hours for me. Had one of those high cushion "ergonomic" ones they sell which made everything worse.

          I've had multiple things break with the secret labs chair. Lumbar support adjustment mechanism breaking twice and the lock which toggles if the chair is rocking breaking. All solved by the manufacturer by sending replacement parts for free under warranty. I am very careful with things I own so these faults I 100% believe weren't because of me. I wish for it to last longer than the warranty but I'm not optimistic.

    • IammeandI on 10/12/2021 - 19:18

      I'm guessing you don't have one. I have lower back issues and couldn't last more than 3hrs seated prior to getting a Secretlab.

      I constantly sit 8-10hrs on mine with no issue.

      Artiss breaks they will give you a partial refund and leave you with a dodgy chair or paid of packing and sending (even if Ebay reimburses you). At least if it is OW you can just drop it off at a branch with Artiss won't have. Not that I am saying buy this chair.

    its made from pu leather, its going to flake overtime. longevity in my experience is poor. but i guess with the low price its given that its disposable and needs to be replaced annually. unless you play to just tape it up or put a cover on it, but that would look ugly.

          If your expected timeframe of usage is 6 months for $60, buy an office chair from IKEA that will cost $199 but last 10 years.

          Or if you need cheaper, there are a million second hand office chairs for $100 that are both more comfortable and durable than this consumable chair.

  • thekow on 10/12/2021 - 09:39

      I think for that level of usage it's best to actually try out different chairs before committing; having said that I bought an Ergohuman Elite v2 from Temple and Webster for $580 while it's on sale and it's been fantastic. Comfortable and heaps of adjustment options (will help you sit with proper posture too) and I actually dozed off watching stuff on the PC while I had the chair in recline position the other day lol. It seems to be the chair people recommend if you didn't want to spend $1500+ on a Herman Miller.

    I worked in office furniture for many years. This is an extremely basic unit. The limited range of adjustment or support makes this not much better than a plastic chair in a McDonald’s restaurant. In fact, the McDonald’s chair will still be there in 20 years. Look for one with arm height adjustment and back tilt.

    Used to sit in chairs like this; looks good at the start but soon enough the PU leather starts to crack and peel (especially now as we're heading into summer) and won't take long for them cheap foam cushions to bottom out. Bit the bullet and spent the money on an Ergohuman a month ago and won't be able to go back. Different price point I know but I realised instead of having to buy a new chair every 1-2 years and being uncomfortable might as well spend the money once and be properly supported and have the chair lasting +5 years.
