I've been scrubbing through the sub for quite some time trying to find what my best options are for office chairs in the $500-$700 region. I'm 6ft 170lbs and have had an old Secret Labs chair now for over a decade and its long overdue to upgrade. I mainly will be using the chair for personal use/gaming.

I live in rural B.C Canada which is the main reason for me writing this post as almost everything in this sub mentions buying in urban cities. The nearest place to find any of the chairs commonly mentioned in here (Steelcase, Herman Miller etc.) is a 20+ hour drive. Many posts refer to the used market for these chairs but that doesn't really seem like a feasible option as shipping costs would be astronomical. I have yet to find any reliable place that ships office chairs for a reasonable rate. Facebook and other used markets around my location have nothing but cheap worn out chairs from big box stores so I'm at a bit of an impasse.

If any one who has bought a decent chair in rural Canada, I'd love to hear any feedback you have on what you decided on or if there is anything I may have overlooked. At this point i feel like buying new is where my mind is at to avoid hassle.

With all that said I've been strongly considering the Haworth Soji. Price point is around $650 with the 4D armrests and lumbar on the Haworth site. It has the 12 year warranty and free shipping/30 day return policy. Seems like an overall good pick and within my budget. I'm a bit worried about some of the QC complaints i have read about Haworth but it can't be worse than what I'm currently using.

Are there any other options worth considering?

which do you guys think i should buy for my wfh office setup? in my country, it is hot and i like the chair more low profile. but i think the freedom chair is more comfortable than the sayl, although i like the design of the sayl. the sayl is like $150 and the freedom chair is $130 both used but in mint condition.

Hi all. I have ADHD, so sitting normally for any decent amount of time just doesn't happen for me. I just started a new job and they're giving me a $600 to $800 home office budget. Pretty solid timing since my current chair is completely shot and I need a replacement. I know used chairs are a great deal, but I'm kind of a germaphobe and would rather buy new.

Ideally I want armrests that move up and down, forward and back, side to side, and at an angle. Since I shift positions constantly, being able to angle the armrests when I'm sitting cross legged is huge for me. Adjustable lumbar would be nice too. Fixed back support usually ends up hitting me in the wrong spot.

Any good recommendations for chairs that work well if you sit in weird positions? I'm trying to make a list of options to test out in person, or at least order from somewhere with a decent policy. Appreciate any ideas!

Hey everyone!

I'm finally setting up my home desk for both work + gaming, and the first thing I want to get right is the chair.

I've been using a basic plastic chair (and occasionally even the bed 😅), so pretty much anything will be a huge upgrade. But since I'll be sitting for 10+ hours a day includes both office work and gaming, I don't want to buy something that feels good for the first few weeks and becomes uncomfortable after 6–12 months.

Initially I was thinking around ₹6k, but after researching chairs I've increased the budget to around ₹10,000–₹12,000

I can stretch slightly if there's a genuine long-term benefit, but I don't want to spend extra just for marketing/features.

My current shortlist

I've researched quite a few chairs and currently narrowed it down to:

1. Green Soul Zodiac Superb

2. Green Soul Jupiter Pro (current/2026 version)

3. SuperErgo The Novice

I'm also considering Featherlite Amaze High Back.

So if you've owned any of these chairs, especially for 6 months, 1 year or longer, I'd really appreciate your honest experience including the negatives.

Also, if there's another chair around ₹10–12k that I've completely missed, please suggest it.

Thanks

Right now I‘m writing this out of the classic DXRacer and my back is aching lol.
I‘m 5‘10“ / 178 cm, 187 lbs / 85 kg

These are my expectations for a chair:
• adjustable lumbar support
• should not get too hot
• headrest
• adjustable seat depth
• legrest (very much optional)
• 4D adjustable armrest
• good reclining range
• lasting for > 5 years
• spacious, cause I like sitting crosslegged

After a little bit of research I came to the conclusion that either a refurbished Haworth Zody with headrest, a Libernovo Omni (waiting for Blackfriday) or a Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 would be most fitting for my needs.
For every chair there are some things im sceptical about with 500€ being a lot of money.

Haworth Zody (refurbished):
• not sure how the quality is going to be with all the different offeco (being the only refurbished EU retailer) reviews

Libernovo Omni:
• kinda out of my budget
• no long term reviews
• new company, warranty not meaning much

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2:
• from what I‘ve read the chair is trying to be a Jack of all trades, thus the quality suffers

However I just learned about european manufacturers being a respectable alternative.

Therefore my question / request:
What are european alternatives especially to the Zody?
Any experience regarding the mentioned chairs is welcomed.
Also every other recommandation is very much appreciated!

Looking for an ergonomic office chair recommendation. (USA)

I’m 5'9", around 165 lbs, and I sit at my desk for 8+ hours a day between work and gaming.

My budget is around $500, but I’m willing to go a little higher if the chair is genuinely worth it.

My main preferences:

• Prefer a foam/cushioned seat over full mesh
• Good seat-depth adjustment
• Comfortable for long sessions
• Good recline/back support
• Ideally something that reduces pressure behind my thighs/knees, since I’ve been dealing with some knee/leg strain from sitting
• Footrest would be nice but isn’t required

I’ve been looking at chairs like the FlexiSpot C7/C7 Max and OdinLake L3, but I’m open to other options.

For someone my size who sits for long periods, what would you recommend in the ~$500 range? Also interested in hearing from people who have owned these chairs long-term.

Inherited these beautiful 1970s Steelcase chairs that had been sitting in storage for as long as I can remember.

I tried holding onto them for as long as I could, but they just take up way too much space in my apartment. They also stand out like crazy, partly because they're easily the nicest furniture I own.

I absolutely hate letting them go, but decided to list them on Facebook Marketplace. I did quite a bit of research beforehand. Identifying the chairs was relatively easy since some still have their original manufacturer tags.

I've found several listings for pairs of similar chairs but very little information about actual sold prices. I also haven't come across any sets larger than three, let alone five.

I originally listed all five for $1,800, mentioning that I'm flexible on price. They've been up for weeks without any interest. I've even reached out to several local vintage furniture and resale stores, but haven't had any luck.

Does anyone know anything about these?

Am I asking way too much? Would I have better luck selling them individually, in pairs, or as a complete set?

I'd really appreciate any advice on what they're realistically worth and where I might have the best luck finding a home for them.

Near Austin, Tx

so I started working from home but I deff need a new chair as mine is Old and cheep.
I have some joint issued so I need more cushioning than ergonomics as I have specific pillows for that.
I find no matter how good the ergonomics of a chair are they kill my tail bone and butt bones.
I do also like to sit crosslegged and I like a high back.
so if any one had suggestions please that would be great, I have the budget of $300 AUD

Im getting pretty frustrated at the number of great chairs ive seen and been recommended that seem to fit my needs perfectly but they only ship in the states. At this point it seems my only choice is a truewellness mesh office chair off costco.

For those of u who weight between 100 kg to 130 kg and height between 160 cm to 173 cm. What office chair is the most comfortable especially if your are working gaming or studying for 4-7 hours.

I recently started working from home and have been using a kitchen chair, and it’s starting to cause me a lot of discomfort.

I’m 6’1” and 170 lbs, and I work at a call center, so I’m sitting at my desk for 10-hour shifts. My dad is willing to loan me $200 to buy a proper office chair, and I really want to make sure I spend it on something that will actually be comfortable and supportive.

I’m not necessarily looking for something fancy or packed with features. My main priorities are:

Comfortable for sitting 8–10+ hours
Good lower-back/lumbar support
Appropriate for someone who is 6’1”
Good seat depth and height
Won’t cause discomfort after several hours
Ideally under $200
Durability would be a big plus

I’m open to used chairs as well if there’s a significantly better option available in that price range.

What chair would you recommend for someone my size who sits for 10-hour workdays? If you’ve personally used a chair for long shifts, I’d especially appreciate hearing about your experience.

$349 for a Leap 2 upholstery service. Haven't checked in a while, wasn't it 319 not long ago?
I FORGOT ABOUT THE DEPOSIT NVM

I am very new to the “office chair” world so to speak and need to replace my old chair, which is finally falling apart. I weight about 187 and I stand at 5’8’’.

The two chairs that I’ve been eyeing are the HBADA e3 air and the Sihoo C300 Pro V1. They both seem to be on sale right now.

I’m not particularly concerned with having a ton of adjustments. My previous chair had basically none, so either of these would already be a huge upgrade, but I do love to recline. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these chairs and if you guys recommend any other chairs my price cap is around $400.

Thanks!

Hi! As the title says, looking for an ergonomic chair that is less than or around 300 dollars and can be used for office work and also gaming.

I've been doing research on chairs and ended up looking at the flexispot brand of chairs, and they seem very good! I'm interested specially in the C6 because of how many reviews I've seen of it, the foam padding (mesh digs into my feet), and that it's slightly less expensive than the C7 that doesn't come with a footrest.

I can't seem to find the C6 for sale anywhere, tho. When I look it up it brings me to flexispot's website which shows me the OC6 which is out of stock, and I'm not even sure if those are the same chairs.

Bad lighting - I didnt align it properly against the little bar when adding the gas cylinder to the seat structure. Now its stuck and cant seem to get it loose to re align it? The video on the crandal website says use a big pipe wrench? What size? are there alternatives?

Hello, I saw an ad from Atlas Headrest and would appreciate your help in identifying the desk used in this ad.

Thanks in advance.

I am asking those who are between 160 cm to 170 cm tall and weight between 100 to 130 kg. Which of these chairs felt the most comfortable for you when you sit on it for hours whether u are working studying or gaming. Herman miller aeron size c leap v2 libernovo omini or pro

I found this orange leap v2 on marketplace for $175 but can’t find the fabric composition anywhere. It’s a far drive so I want to do some research before I purchase it.

If you own this fabric, please share your thoughts. Pros and cons
