where the hell do you buy a good gaming/desk chair for under 200$

Garbage dive from some office when they're replacing their office equipment

>>719715836 (OP)
You don't really. But looking for used/refurbished office chairs is your best bet.

>good furniture
>under $2,000

The first to recommend Markus chair is gay.

i bought an executive office chair for 170ish bucks off amazon in 2017 and still use it

im considering sawing down my desk's legs to make it lower so i can just sit in my fucking eames chair and game, kinda over sitting in a regular desk chair at this point desu

>>719715836 (OP)
Ikea?

>>719715836 (OP)
You don't, you either spring for something that will last or you replace the garbage you bought for cheap every few months and end up spending more.

Staples Hyken for a competent Aeron clone made of cheaper materials
Buy a name-brand chair on office liquidation stores and chair websites

>>719716316

What the fuck are you doing with your chairs?

I've broken every chair I've had by just having the chair backwards while leaning on the backrest or sitting like pic related.

>>719715836 (OP)
You can buy cheap copies of better chairs on Amazon, they're obviously not as good as the real thing, but they're better than those meme gamer chairs.

>>719716130
you retards paying exorbitant prices because (((they))) can get away with it is the reason why everyone is broke now

Just got some comfy sofa
fuck is the obsession wtih "garming" and "desk" chairs
nobody is forcing you that you MUST use those for pc gaming

>>719716419
This also, Big & Tall (aka fat-fuck) chairs are an amazing way to boost the longevity and durability of your chair even on the cheaper end, they are BY NECESSITY made to be stronger and longer lasting chairs

>>719715836 (OP)
>>719716130
Kinda

You can find alright shit under 2k, but not great. I always found it funny that gaymers called gaming chairs overpriced, even though 200 bucks for a chair is cheap

>>719715836 (OP)
Buy a high used quality office chair, they're everywhere in the aftermarket because offices often offload their stuff en mass for super cheap.

>>719716628
Used to be those racing bucket style chairs were turbo expensive when they first started showing up, a combination of mass manufacture and everybody figuring out racing buckets are AWFUL for comfort and ergonomics (heedless of actual drivers saying buckets suck ass) dropped the price a ton

>>719715836 (OP)
get whatever chair you want from staples, get their asurion 3 year insurance, after 2 years and 11 months say "my chair is broken!"
get a free chair, buy another 3 years of insurance.

rinse, repeat. I got my first chair in 2020 for $300, plus $50 for the plan. Then in 2023 I complained to them, sent pictures, got a refund for the chair, bought the same one, and got the $50 plan again.

Best thing? I still have the old chair.

mesh seating and lumbar support
this is pretty much all that really matters and you shouldn't bother with anything that doesn't have that

Just get a huge dinner table as your desk, preferably second hand since they are fucking EXPENSIVE

>>719716717
>he bought the (((insurance)))
good goyim

>>719716514
>you retards paying exorbitant prices because (((they))) can get away with it is the reason why everyone is broke now
If this were true they would just exhaust the rich buyers and then lower the price to sell to poorfags like you.

>>719716809
don't care, I'm basically getting a $300 chair for $50.

>>719715836 (OP)
Easy. Buy a normal desk chair and not one branded as "gaming" anything with gaming slapped on it is marked up 2-3x price

>>719715836 (OP)
Get a solid wooden chair. Thank me later.

I have broken so many chairs that I just stand while at my PC now.

if your chair doesn't have this you're a fucking retard
this thing is the difference maker when it comes to destroying your ass

post some gaming desks
even the one you might have

>>719715836 (OP)
>gaming/desk

>>719716939
how fat?

>>719717058
>this
>this thing
I have a feeling you're the retard and you don't even know

>>719717382
What is that?

>>719716939
You've got a stand up desk?

>dress like maintenance worker
>go into office building
>take someone's chair
>leave
It's literally so easy

>>719717382
it's mesh seating
sorry for assuming that you'd understand what it is after entering a chair thread

Look the cheapest thing is just to fucking move and go out and use the chair not for long periods of time, trust me
I have a $500 chair and god knows this shit is not enough to make my back not fucking shit itself if I don't keep a proper posture in the first place.

>>719715836 (OP)
I have been using one of these bad boys for nearly 10 years, no cushion

the one thing I want from a chair is a straight back, maybe even teetering on bending towards the front. I don't like leaning backwards at all but so few chairs let me sit upright properly

>>719717802
i like how this is not even a meme, they're actually comfortable af

>>719716015
>>719716331

where doe

>>719715836 (OP)
Go to Ikea and order the cheapest office chair they have.

>>719715836 (OP)
You can find adequate chairs for sure but none will be good.
I actually ended up falling for the Herman Miller shills but I don't have any regrets, it truly is great for your posture and it its sturdy too.
I wouldn't call it the most comfortable though as like I said, it forces correct posture.
Also >>719717058
the underside gathers SO much fucking dust its unbelievable. Try find refurbished if money is an issue, you can find them for like a grand less than retail.

It takes a certain amount of dedication but I have done this before:

Junkyard car seat. Less than $30 for something more durable and comfy than a piece of shit $300 office chair. Just set it on the floor and have a very low desk. Really helps with cutting out slouching if you get the ergonomics right and have your screen(s) just above eye level.

Only reason I don't do it now is no room.

>>719718568
There's nothing wrong with slouching. Sitting up straight is bad for your back.

>>719718705
You're not sitting up straight in most car seats. What I'm more concerned about is the neck. Avoid slouching while looking up

>>719716419
Fuck that's comfy looking

>>719715836 (OP)
I got some from my old job when they were renovating office for like $10. Steelcase, brand new would be just under a grand.
Moral of the story is get a job, either they gonna give you a chair for cheap or you'll make money and $200 won't be an insurmountable expense anymore.

>>719716225
You said it homo, you said the brand name.

>>719715836 (OP)
you buy an office chair, not a """gaming""" chair

>>719717058
i like to sit awkwardly sometimes like with one foot under a thigh or something, can't do that at all with aerons
if that edge plastic wasn't so thick and hard it wouldn't be so bad

>>719716514
Yeah, the Emody will forever be the best chair, but specifically NOT the lg "collab" one where they faggot-fied the chair for gaymers.
2k for the best chair is a good deal.

I sit in my chair for a crazy long amount of time (up to 90 minutes at a time) so I splurged on a steelcase leap

>>719720251
>for a crazy long amount of time (up to 90 minutes at a time)
Haha, yeah

>>719715836 (OP)
Sit on the floor, it'll be better for you than any chair

>>719720251
>crazy long amount of time
>90 minutes at a time

>>719720251
Ive sat in mine for 24 hours straight once.

>>719715836 (OP)
you go to expensive furniture stores and see what they are clearing out.
store space is expensive. bought mine for 200 and it was 650 new.

>>719716419
humanity restore or some other such secondhand furniture store if you're an amerilard. soildly built desk doesn't just collapse because it's old.

I just got a chair from staples, it feels pretty good to me

Why is there no midrange for ergonomic chairs still, it's either shit tier or 1000+ for a good one.
>buy used/refurbished
Not an option in most of Europe.

>>719715836 (OP)
>good gaming/desk chair
>under 200$
impossible, this is the cheapest good ones I know

Or search for office goods from companies or the like, sometimes they have good shit at a lower price

>>719715836 (OP)
The budget chair has already been perfected, why do you refuse to take the Markus pill.

>>719720251
>(up to 90 minutes at a time)
Is this a joke
