Any suggestions on decent chairs? I’m in the market for two chairs for my wife and son doing grad school and college from home.
Everyone says they get aerons or steelcase leaps cheap but in central Texas the best I’ve seen are 400-600 and at least an hour drive each way. That’s still kind of steep for me (especially given the two household members in university right now)
A few of my friends got the Autonomous ErgoChair and really like it. It’s not at high quality as a Steelcase or Herman Miller, but it’s a lot more affordable. I’d rather it than one of these gaming chairs.
Sihoo Doro C300 - as long as you’re shorter than 178 cm you shouldn’t regret it. $300 USD on their US website. The lumbar support is amazing.
Noooooo, Car seats are actually comfortable.
I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash… exactly like toddler car seats.
I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they’re something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.
I had that chair. It’s fucking terrible. My back has never been so sore
Are you a toddler?
“asking for my son”
I like my Herman Miller chair, my kids do not like there car seats.
How can you afford a herman Miller but don’t know the difference between there and their?
You’re definitely an ex redditor 😉
Interesting fact, gaming chairs often have less ergonomic support and less adjustability than office chairs, making them inferior for sitting relative to office chairs.
I own a gaming chair. I agree. But the 600$ I spent was less than the 2k on a herman Miller so fuggit
Check out Sihoo next time, I just bought one and it’s alright. Not as good as a Herman Miller or Steelcase though.
