>just get the ikea markusi feel for the markus meme, it sucks. what should i get instead of this piece of crap?
>>108589704you can get your hands into the backrest to pull out the styrofoam btw, it may help with comfort. i fell for the markus meme too and really despised that chair. just using the base as a stool now. i recommend going somewhere to demo chairs if possible
>>108589704i actually went to ikea yesterday and saw one of these on the showroom floor. feels like shit.
>>108589704I'm sitting on it right now and it's fineI had the lower end one for a few years before that, it was alright
>>108589704Hermann Miller Aeron
>>108589907wow thanks a $10k chair why didnt i think of that
I can't believe I say this, but get a gamer chair with the least amount of colors/marketing crap on it. some of them are well-made and usually priced decently. Markus is the result of a sole designer doing his thing, and it shows. most of these "gamer-branded" chairs are actually tested.
>>108590053tbf they're built to last decades so it may not be expensive. assuming it matches you well ergonomically it may also prevent spending money on health and posture related issues down the line. the problem is of course that it frontloads all of the cost. just be sure to demo it as the chair is somewhat divisive
>>108589704Steelcase Leap V2HM Aeronfrom your local used office furniture warehouse place, only government and corpos buy them new at full price.
>>108589704colamy atlas
>>108589704I'm fairly happy with my rekt RGO, but remember to do some sport it helps more than any good chair.
Steelcase Please V2 if you're an EUfaggoated chair
>>108589839I got an old one at home but also went to ikea a few weeks ago because I need some new furniture. The older chairs were much more comfortable>>108589704Go to a furniture store and test all of them within your price range. You can find better chairs for around the same price as an ikea office chair. You don't need an end high chair to sit comfortably and ergonomically
>>108589704Go to an actual office furniture store / website and buy a chair with good reviews.An actual office chair is designed to be sat in 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and not break.Ikea chairs are built like crap despite costing the same price. After having 2 ikea chairs clap out on me in 2 years I refuse to buy a chair that isn't actually designed for office use now.
>>108591076I will also add the outside look of a chair has very little to do with it's durability.An actual office-rated chair might look basic but will likely have a cushion designed and rated to keep it's shape with your ass sitting in it for 8 hours straight.Ikea chairs look nice but the cushions get completely deformed after a few hours of sitting on them, they are not built to the same standard.
>>108589704>it sucks.why? up down, decent size seat, you don't need the arm restsI'm sitting on a kitchen chair right nownext level is a herman miller embody for 1.6k on sale, next level after that is a 247 certified surveilence chair for like 2.3kme? my kitchen steel chair is 2€ used
>>108591119You are completely falling for reddit memes if you think the only two options are an ikea chair or a multiple thousand designer chair.I am the anon above, just go to an office supply site and look at actual office chairs. You will be surprised at how cheap they are. Or actually not surprised if you consider that a business with 100 employees that needs durable office chairs that last multiple years is not going to be spending 2k per employee on herman millers...
>>108589704I have a Crandall rebuilt Steelcase Leap V2 at the office and I like it well enough, though the cushion is a little soft for me.
>>108591220all other office chairs that are good quality from local brands fall under the same price tier as herman miller anywaywe are cookedeither povertymaxx or spend more money
>>108591238Did you actually look? The chair I bought from an office store was £120. Most chairs on those sites are around £300-£500. It's actually very hard to find an office chair from an actual office supply store over 1k that isn't some German designer bs
you arent supposed to lean on your chair like your sleeping on it
>>108589704A secret lab chair or at least something similarly priced. Unfortunately nice chairs are unreasonably expensive.
>>108589907Get a used one on craigslist for 300-400. I got one for me and one for my wife this way
>>108591268you can buy a chinese office chair from amazon toothere are plenty other chairs sure
>>108589907>Hermann Miller AeronOnly good if it fits your body. I had mine for 8 months, sat in it for 8+ hours a day. Constant pain and suffering.
>>108589839I've been using one for 5 years and never had any problems.
>>108589704
>>108589704This thing cured my back pain.
>>108591220I had an office chair for 300€ for a long time and got a herman miller embody 2 years ago. The herman miller one is way better. You really notice the difference when you sit for a long time like 12 hours straight.
>>108589704Chairs are so extremely random when it comes to fitting you. I've tried 50+ over the years including Hermann Miller's, Ikea, Jysk, various gamer chairs and so on. It's very hard to find one that fits me, now I've settled with a Hoffree XXL Big & Tall from Amazon. I'm 6'8, 322lbs and it's the first one in a long while that I'm comfortable in. But it's also Amazon so I'm fully expecting it to implode within a year or two.
Just get a basic bitch chair and a standing desk you fatass.
>>108591692>le just standfuck no
>>108591447I need a couch chair like this, where did you get it?
lol>t. sitting on a Markus rn (1.8m so not too bad)
>>108591706Not him but basically any furniture store sells them. Just measure your desk first and check the height of the chair so you don't end up sitting too high/low. I used a Walmart "La Z-boy" copy for several years that I paid like 180 bucks for.
>>108591673Literally happened to me. My sciatica is fucked.
>>108591673>I'm 110kg because I used to wrestle
>>108591726im in EU we don't really have couch chairs like this except in expensive italian furniture stores
>>108591447>>108591706>>108591726can you get these things on wheels? ive thought about this but because you cant adjust the arms you have to put your arms up on the table for ergonomics, but that also means the chair is slid right in under the table. with no wheels what do people do just climb in and out of it?
>>108591794If it's on carpet it slides without issues. But yes you can buy them with wheels, might be harder to find though.
>>108591748takes a while to shed
>>108591447>not a oled tv>no center monitor*gta wasted sound.mp3*
Personally I use a wooden rocking chair. Had to lift up my desk a bit but it was worth it
>>108589704>the markus memeso what's the lore behind this chair? I have one and have been using it for 20 years, didn't know it was a meme. It's a decent chair but nothing special I thought, very durable though apart from the leather cracking a bit.
>>108590053it's $1500 new and lasts a lifetime. you can get them for half that refurished. instead you're going to spend double that on cheap department store chairs that only last a year and are ergonomically harmful. imagine willingly subjecting yourself to the the Sam Vimes ‘Boots’ Theory of Socio-Economic Unfairness out of ignorance.
>>108591390>used chairThis is like shitting on public toilet right after another dude just shat there before you
>>108591989no it's like sitting in a chair that someone else sat in at a waiting room you germophobic freak. yall would have no problem tongue fucking an egirls asshole but sitting on a chair through your underwear and pants that someone else sat on years ago is off limits?
>>108591989It's mesh anon. Not really concerned. Give it a once over with a steamer and some lysol and it's good to go. No foam for cum to soak into.
>>108592005shitter broke on day 1 they were confirmed poop socking it probably shitshorting it with dipes, to
>>108592019>It's mesh>No foam for cum to soak intoso the cum will just drip right through?
>>108592005>yall would have no problem tongue fucking an egirls asshole but sitting on a chair through your underwear and pants that someone else sat on years ago is off limits?Yes, that's accurate. I know how much I fart, cum, sweat and spill shit on my chairs. If the previous owner is even a 10th the slob I am = hell no. But I have no problem being nose deep in my girls ass.
>>108589704Go to staples, they have a nice selection of office chairs you can test out
>>108592019I don't get the mesh meme, I evne place a blanket on my Marcus because I sit in my underpants and I want it nice and comfortable. And I can change them weekly and wash them too. So none of my sweat is inside or on the chair.
>>108591119Embody is less than a thousand used, just search for a furniture liquidator near youAnd it's worth it if you can get it for that price>t. embody owner
>>108589704IKEA's JÄRVFJÄLLET is way better than Markus.Much sturdier with great back support.It's more expensive but the quality is also much higher so only fair.It just has such an utter shit name nobody can remember.And I think they replaced the original mesh version with a cloth version.I really like the mesh because it keeps my back cool.
>>108592080I generally agree but I think most 2nd hand office chairs, especially those in good condition, come from companies that either expanded (and want their new furniture to all match) or went belly up.Private individuals tend to use a chair until it breaks.So chances are nobody was jerking off in it.
>>108593431that's not a real fucking word
>>108593554Yeah I think the maker of that chair had a stroke.
>>108590077I bought a gaming chair recently, and the seat slopes backwards (so the back is lower than the front) and it's ridiculously uncomfortable unless you lean back at all times, which obviously nobody does when using a computer.
>>108591673>a big dude at 110kg and 183cmI'm 173cm and 99kg. It's not that big. Honest.
>>108593554None of them are real words. IKEA furniture is all just named after random syllables that "sound Swedish", or people's names like Markus and Billy.
>>108589704Used steelcase or herman miller chair. I bought a steelcase amia from an office liquidator for $100. They steam cleaned and extracted it in front of me before handing it over. Best chair I've ever owned.
>>108590053You buy them used for like $200
>>108593706Hey Chat>JÄRVFJÄLLET is a Swedish name used by IKEA for a series of office chairs, which translates to a specific geographical location in Sweden. >Meaning: "Järv" means wolverine (a carnivorous mammal), and "fjället" means the mountain or the fell.
>>108590053I don't think I know anybody who's bought one new, but even then it's more or less indistructable and completely adjustable. The Markus is a good chair and a fraction of the price, but I also highly recommend the Aeron.
The HM Embody fixed my back pain immediately. Poorfags can't relate though.
>>108593786monstertech chair, i almost bought that once
>>108592066too viscous to drip through the mesh
>>108593554>>108593706Fucktards.. Ikea uses real words for all their furniture. Järvfjället means wolverine mountain/peak and it's an actual location.. t. Swede.
>>108593949How they name stuff.
>>108593949bullshit that's not a real word and that's not a real language
>>108593963Cope harder.
>>108593949might be warmer in c303
>>108593981Both the C303 and the C304 had awful heaters, did my mandatory service back in the stone age and spent an uncomfortable amount of time in both. At least you're active on a snowmobile and working up some heat. Those trucks are just freezers on wheels.
>>108589704I sit like this at my PC, legs up, a relaxed back chair so I can lean into it and be near horizontal the chair i'm using now was pretty firm and I had to break it inare there chairs out there that already support this posture?
video related but be warnedstarts at $1100 without headrest and $1240 with so you know, not for thirdieshttps://dynamicofficeseating.co.uk/collections/all-chairs/products/zure-executive-fabric-chair-with-white-shell?variant=40906906566794
>>108594012The chair I have been using for two days so far and still hate is perfect for that posture. It's a Jysk Hallum. It's awful but it has a footrest that folds out so you can really lean back and not reach your keyboard or mouse at all. If you genuinely sit like this, it's your dream chair.
>>108590053kek redditors btfo
If it's more than $100, you don't need it.

>>108593431>IKEA's JÄRVFJÄLLET is way better than Markus.Tried that. The Markus fits my body better.
>>108594036Looks uncomfortable and flimsy. Everything about it screams "we made it as light as possible to increase our margin shipping it in from china."
>short seat>good lumbar support>no headrest so you can lean backthese have been the comfiest chairs for me that don't give me back pain

>>108589704Not mesh regardless, the mesh doesn't conform to your body, it goes taut so will always put pressure on the middle back.
>>108589704>what should i get insteadSIHOO M57: https://www.sihoo.com/en/products/m57-ergonomic-office-chair/
>>108589704Whatever costco has at any given time so when it breaks you can return it
I've noticed that the vast majority of people who hate Markus are fat... As far as chairs go it's very mid but it's mostly fat people who're complaining about it vocally.
>>108597278As a fat fuck, agreed. It's awful for my fat ass.
>>108591854>takes a while to shedTell that to Takakeisho
>>108592005fpbp
mesh actually holds surprisingly much smell. but its also easy to clean out. if you buy a used aeron i dont recommend smelling the ass area before washing it
>>108591673>weight on my perineumi hope someone recommended him a Salli chair
>>108589704The markus isn't great for sitting upright, however it's great if you're used to leaning back in your setup.

>>108597464Yeah I sit down leaning back all the time, it's great for that. all this fancy chair shit when the solution was just to lay back a bit
>>108597949i miss being young
>>108590103Okay but does the seat cushion last for decades? No it doesnt. But can you easily replace it?
>>108598179mesh will become saggy after 5-10 years i think, depending on your weight and usage but it looks easy enough to swap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx1fLlk4eRAyou may need to swap the gaslift too eventually but this should also be doable
>>108597793>>108597846also meal planning
>>108589704i got a leap off of ebay for $80 been using it for years.
>>108589704I bought an herman miller embody 6 years ago, best purchase of me life.I sit over 8 hours a day every single day so I figured I should get something good while still in my 20s.forget about the backsupport , every fucking one and their mom is talking about lumbar this, lumbar that, fuck this gay shit, the real thing is the seat.you can sit in this bitch for hours and your ass won't hurt + blood would still flow as usual so no blood cloat and no hemorrhoids.these two things are much more important that whatever lumbar bullshit your read about online, a tiny bit of exercise is enough to get your back in shape, there is nothing you can do if you ass hurt after being sit for long or if your veins pop out of your fucking ass because you sit on some markus shitness.get an expensive good chair, you won't regret it, don't be a pussy and get one of the >$1k ones
>>108591658>implodeI was expecting that from flash furniture hercules but it's been going strong for almost five years.The gas cylinder obviously failed in like a year, but I just clamped plastic spacers around it, making the chair sit at max height permanently.The only reason I might replace it is the fake leather peeling off.
>>108589704>what should i get instead of this piece of crap?Leap V2.I was looking into buying a new chair after my OfficeMax chair fell apart. I almost fell for the Gaymer chair shit, but my autism told me that sitting in a bucket seat for prolonged periods of time was retarded. I almost fell for the Ikea meme as well, but luckily the Markus was out of stock.I spent a weekend learning about REAL office chairs and how to get my hands on those over-priced fuckers. Crandall Office, buys broken Leaps in bulk and rebuilds them into "like new" condition. They also add a new thicker cushion to the seat and armrest, and will reupholster the chair in whatever color and material you desire from their catalog. They do all of this, whilst charging half the OG price, and you get a true life-time warranty. Best time to buy is during one of their holiday sales. I currently own two now.
>>108593696you should be 75kg max
>>108589704I fucking hate office chairs
You should be able to find used office furniture sellers in and around any metro area. They buy the stock of closing businesses, clean/refurbish worthwhile items, and usually sell on local classifieds or maybe have their own storefronts but not always. These are the best places to buy high quality office chairs for cheap. Find one, go put your ass in some seats, and buy what's comfortable.
>>108589754>going somewhere to demo chairs if possiblelike ikea????
>>108598965no i mean one of those office furniture places that resell used chairs. they are fairly common around where i live and have all kinds of chairs sourced from business going bankrupt or upgrading etc. if you're set on a specific brand like herman miller or steelcase they have showrooms in big cities too. of course if you live near an IKEA you could go there too but if you hated the markus its probably pointless
Any recommendations for around 100-150 (I can go to 200 if I have to) bucks that isn't Ikea or a bucket gaming seat?Second hand is not an option where I live unfortunately (island life).
I just use a nice wooden chair.Unironically, why do you need wheels on a chair? I only see it being necessary if you work in an office and the chairs need to be constantly moved and rearranged
are beanbags good for you?
Ignore Herman Miller shills. They are trash.Steelcase is legit but the Leap is their best by far.
i just use a barrel chair
>>108597793believe it or not, that's not a kitchen, despite the super-bright surface; it's not a sink, it's a ring-binderbut some people have multi-use spaces, and do the weirdest combined things
>>108593769There's an Embody for sale near me and I'm tempted to get it. Problem is I bought a Steelcase Gesture and hate it with every fiber of my being, and assume that the Embody is going to be a sidegrade to that at best.I abso-fucking-lutely DESPISE not having a headrest on my chair, idk how people live without them
>>108593431Can confirm, this is a pretty decent chair. This and a decent matress helped me get rid of my back pain
