Can't gaming chairs just be like, you know, a normal chair? I'd be all over this if it didn't look like someone skinned a power ranger!
You must work in a sad office if you can't have a coloured chair on castors.

It seems HUKD boiler is broken at the moment and the heating system is not working well. Heat added though, although it is not being counted. :neutral_face:

You've read my mind, just set up my desk but in need of a good gaming chair. Been looking everywhere but no matter the price they've had mixed reviews.

6% Quidco on this making the price a very good £56.40.

The black version doesn't have the same head support - It is flatter.

Is this chair any good? Was eyeing up the trak racer and GT chairs but they are like 160 odd
timj13 to godzillafan

Not in my experience
Its all chinese junk, bit of extra padding to make it look nicer but in the end the chair will fail. I've had enough of these £40-£70 chairs in my time to know! they all fail after 6 - 12 months use
The tilt is usually the first to go, which causes it to go back at a slight angle which really messes with your back
It's a lot more expensive but you will not be sorry that you spent the extra in the long run. I've had it over 5 years now and its just the same as when i first bought it.

Does anyone know if these are reclined a little and cannot be made more upright ? - It is hard to tell from the pictures.

Then your office obviously isn't cool enough for this chair. :stuck_out_tongue:
I think the red and black actually looks really good. I am seriously tempted but struggling to justify it, if only I could get the price down a bit further, I know there's quidco but that takes months if they actually pay out. Anyone tried this through Flubit? I can't cos I'm not an elite member but tempted to become one if it yields a good enough discount on this....

I'm pretty average build, most likely on the skinnier side for my age but a chair like this would kill my backside after a fair few hours. I have a Bariatric office chair :laughing: just for the comfort, highly advise it anyone likes to sit in front their PC for 6+ hours on a sunday!

Yea brilliant chairs mate, i have been through so many of these budget chairs to know that they just dont last. They pretty much all come from China and the base is so weak it just fails eventually. I must have had 5 of them in total.
Then i read some reviews about the IKea one on here and took the plunge, think i paid £120 but it was the best money ive spent.
For anybody interested in this gaming chair....they have been around this same price for years.....
They are all rubbish. I don't care if it has good reviews, ive sat on them and used them for months. They are crap

I bought this chair for my housemate about 7 months ago and he still loves it.
He plays PC games most evenings so it gets a lot of use and has stood up well to it. I'd definitely buy it again, even though I was a bit cautious to begin with. We bought it for £79.99 from eBuyer too, so this is hot from me.

I'm torn these look good but then they don't recline that Ikea link is dead.......I got the email from ebuyer and came on here to see peoples opinion on these. I work from home but would also use it for gaming so could do with just a good comfy chair........Don't mind shelling out if its decent enough.

Ikea Markus chair all day long. Had one for years, the perfect mix of comfort and affordability. They can compete with Herman Miller on comfort whilst still being affordable. Nice find though OP. Heat added.
And why don't they just use car chairs? I've never sat in an uncomfortable car chair, also never sat in a comfortable computer chair. If I wasn't do damned lazy I'd make my own.

Any recommendations on one if you have a poor back? I tend to find it quite painful to sit on a chair like that for an hour or so, feels like all the strain is concentrated on my tail end, lower back. It gets unbearable after a while. It seems to be worse on chairs that force your back into an arch.
Looks a decent chair that; potentially in a different league to this one in fairness....might have to wait until I can justify that spend instead :stuck_out_tongue:

26 Apr 16#49
That chair looks a bit like the one I have! There's quite a few Chinese generics of the "racing chair" style. Though the ebuyer one doesn't have the ability to raise/lower armrests mine does.
Paid around £50 for mine (it's a Chinese seller though it came pretty quickly, maybe they have EU warehouses?)
True, I said to the Mrs you a have a £1500 sofa, I want a better chair. To my surprise there were no further discussions on the matter! :laughing::stuck_out_tongue:
May help those considering it by seeing it in action

[quote=millarcat] havent you noticed the email they sent out was wrongly priced it's actually £49.99 on there website, i saw the email yesterday clicked on it and saw their mistake
Not comparing on price, but having been looking for a chair for a while I recalled seeing something similar. There are some minor differences, but I'm slightly concerned at how similar they are. Concerned enough that it will probably stop me ordering, as it suggests it might just be a rebrand of a fairly generic chair.

27 Apr 16#71
You're not wrong. As others have suggested if you're concerned by this you should really try the MARKUS IKEA chair.
I don't know who the 'original' seller/company for the chair is, but think that is a red flag for me.

Who cares what you think its a decent chair and that's it...
Bowiefan
27 Apr 16#74
Well that is the point. If it's just a rebrand of a generic chair, is it 'decent'? I'm not spending anyone's money for them though, so folks are free to order if they wish.
cruisecars
27 Apr 16#75
Its £60 what do u expect look at the reviews say's it all if you want to spend £500 on a better one do it its only a bloody office chair !
Bowiefan
27 Apr 16#76
Ok, so if I follow that logic, why spend £60 on something that is "only a bloody office chair"? Why not £50...£40, and so on. A quick search on this forum finds cheaper chair deals, as I'm sure general internet searching would.
Money and 'worth' is subjective. I'm certainly not going to drop £500 on a chair, but equally I was reluctant to spend £60 on this, as outlined. Your mileage may vary.
