Hello. If I can have some help with my brothers birthday present. I want to get him a chair for his PC (Gaming web browsing etc) there is days where here's on it for hours on end, other days its 2 hours max.

He is about 174cms tall and about 80kg. He is coming from this: https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/bathurst-c… so I feel ANYTHING would be an improvement. I REALLY cant justify 700 bucks on a chair… I was hoping for something under $300, but almost feel that is unrealistic. Keen to hear peoples thoughts. Cost of living is real so Id rather keep my kidneys please.

I sit one of these too, and honestly, between a sore butt, nails piercing your arms, wonky arms and peeling leather its not fun- I kinda woulda have expected juuuustt a little more then 3 years wear out of these but it is what it is…

I find that PU leather peels all the time, we've had a few and they break, and I cant afford genuine leather… So I was actually thinking about going for a material….

Everyone keeps saying Secret labs Evo in the soft weave, but honestly I cant justify or afford that money…..

I've seen an alternative Battle bull Vaporweave - Which ill be honest, is quite pricey. His birthday is the end of July so I can maybe wait for a special at EOFY….

Does anyone have any other recommendations or feedback of the battle bull?

    AKRacing K7 gaming chair is good, I've owned for a few years. Fabric material so no peeling, price is reasonable too compared to similar although a little over your budget

      I wish they would give me more info on what a "adjustable lumbar pillow" means. Is that built into the chair like a car seat? How can an ordinary pillow be adjusted?

      • mobbahobba on 22/05/2023 - 22:07

        Pillow can be removed, its got straps that wrap around the chair so you can move it up and down

    not too sure if the delivery ETA is accurate but I have one of these and it has been great for the last two years that i've had mine

      Thats suede… How does that hold up, they seems to have suede and Alcantara… Interesting

    I'd go for a second hand office chair…

    Who are his favourite streamers? Maybe you can find a chair that looks a bit like the chair they use.

    • Mintee on 22/05/2023 - 21:46

      He doesnt really follow streamers more… Discord with a bunch of mates

    I like my ikea JÄRVFJÄLLET. Supportive, and comfortable recline. The in-store leather model is now at $350, should be able to pick up a used for $150 if that's an option. The older ones are cloth.
