Don't know if this can be considered directly related to

KAB Seating ACS Executive, had it for two years. Its pretty perfect, better than a couch and does not kill my back. Will probably last over 15 years in like-new condition.

I've been thinking of buying the Markus from Ikea. I did consider one of those gaudy gay men racing car chairs, but I'd be embarrassed every time I looked at it.

1999 steelcase leap from craigslist for $70.

the steelcase leap is the best chair you can buy.

If you can find them (check craigslist) a Steelcase 454 Concentrix. These were made late 1970s thru the 1980s. They have 5 stainless steel arms for the wheels on the base. Some had arms, some (the secretary version) did not. They have relatively narrow hard rubber wheels.

The last two I found went for $25/ea. Worth every penny, and then some. Best thing I've ever sat in for my back.

WARNING TO USA BUYERS:

Let's see if I can abbreviate this explanation. California law TB117 effectively forced manufacturers to put carcinogenic chemicals in your chairs for fire resistance. They spray the foam, it ends up being about a THIRD of the foam's weight, and it gets released into the air and dust you breathe over the life of the chair. In 2013, they amended the law so you don't have to poison your customers with awful untested chemicals to pass the fire resistance test. However it is easier for MOST manufacturers to keep doing this until the bulk of the industry has removed these chemicals, or presumably when they get enough guff from customers demanding they change their practices.

So, you have to be very careful buying a chair, (couch, mattress), in the USA because of this abhorrent outdated regulation TB117 that poisoned a generation and stunted the growth of millions of babies. Everyone say "thanks Cali!"

Quick tip: furniture manufactured by IKEA after JAN 2015 should be free of these chemicals. ASHLEY FURNITURE and STAPLES has pledged to phase these chemicals out of their supply chain. STAPLES carries HON brand chairs, which I can confirm do NOT SPRAY their chairs with these terrible substances. Buy smart, buy HON.

25 bucks for cancer, not bad.
(the chemicals were even worse then than they are now)

I have the one in OP, Malcolm, and it's pretty fucking amazing, no regrets whatsoever. However don't go for leather, your ass is going to thank you during summer.

>Complies with California TB117 flammability requirements.
ah nevermind, it's only sofas and sectionals that they've stopped spraying
IKEA chairs are a no-go

comfy af

>>52510383
No, it's cool with pants, but during hot summers I prefer sitting butt naked and leather feels like shit to touch with bare skin.

>>52508969
I'm going to sound like a dick here.
But as you point out, you spend most of your day sitting in that fucking chair.
Don't cheap out.

I bought This one, and I could not be happier. It's high quality and it supports me even when I sit there for 12-14 hours straight. I never get sore or anything. It's not soft, but over a few hours, you can really feel that you bought a HQ chair...

>>52512511
Wait. Can't wait for IKEA to finish building in Vegas.

>>52508969
Malkolm is comfy as fuck.

For computing on a desk, anything more expensive than Markus is a meme.

Loughborough Leather Manager Office Chair
http://www.chairoffice.co.uk/prod/1478/loughborough-leather-executive-office-chair.aspx

I want a chair that rivals the comfiness of a couch chair, that has a high back, but at the same time can easily lean back. It should also be less than $200
Am I fucked?

>>52508969
i've got the black malkolm, got it brand new for £15. It's a comfy chair, but i've never tried anything better than any ikea chairs so i don't know..

>>52508969
It's probably really hard to move at that weight. If you really want something heavy I'd recommend an executive chair with lumbar support. They're probably like 40 pounds.
