This is why I don't buy cheap chairs.

Waiting for collection

I received it a couple of days ago, seems fine to me. Looks better than the £60 Argos chair it's replacing...

This chair is AWFUL if you are reading this DO NOT BUY THIS CHAIR!!!! :confused:

DO NOT BUY THIS!! Order the chair the other day, got a email saying it would be delivered the next day, did not come. Phoned the company up and was told they could not locate my address. Gave them the address again with more details and my mobile number to phone if there was any problems. The next day the chair once again was not delivered. Phoned them again and ask wtf happen and they told me the driver was given the extra information but did not read the info and they cant deliver the chair, told them to refund the order. Worst customer service i have ever had in my life.

Expired

ta - it's shot up in price so I've expired the deal - I guess I'm just waiting for a Mod to action the expiration (I've been waiting for about 9+ hrs!)

:disappointed:

I just received mine yesterday, assembled and ready to go. The leather is poor, its not really leather it the PU stuff but at £30 what can you expected. Sturdy build and there is a tilt function.

As stated before great for occasional use but defiantly not something I would order for an office where people have to sit on all day.

Also probably not great for a tall person either, im short so the headrest actually sits perfectly for me but i can imagine it being even more uncomfortable for a tall person.

Touche! Although I do buy my cars brand new - but that's because of some of the amazing deals on here.

And every car you've bought brand new for the same reason? :P

Remember that top gear episode anyone!

At least all my office chairs are non absorbent leather.... :smile:

Does anyone know how high the top of the armrests are above the ground?

I'm 6ft 2. As I posted earlier, no issues here???

I'm sure most people would remember and would be able to make a simple phone call. However, each to their own. I'd prefer not to buy a chair of unknown provenance - you'd never know what caused that sticky stain :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm sitting on this chair now and I strongly recommend against it. It's pretty bad for your posture unless you wedge a small cushion behind your lower back.

I get that you can't ask for much at this price point, but you're better off saving up for something that won't do your back in.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in thinking I'll a) have completely forgotten I bough 'protection plus' in a years time, b) wouldn't want another one anyway after needing to claim on it and c) couldn't be bothered with the faff of arranging a replacement and return of / evidence of failure of the original.

Tbh an office chair is one of those things I'd far rather buy used. Check your local charity shop! Surely find something just as solid for a tenner or or way better for the same cash. You get to sit on it, and you get some idea how well it lasts :smiley:

Took the plunge, I remember buying a beige one on the cheap from these pages around 10 years ago.

Cheers... bought the chair, 1 ream of paper & a book of first class stamps for free delivery :smiley: Went via topcashback & added my nectar card for points too! :smiley:

Was Jimmy Savile involved?

Wrecked Em.

​Damn what a way to go. Poor lad

Don't worry - singhisking included the correct instructions initially, I only just added them following your confusion :smiley:

Aaaaah lol apologies to you all got it now!!!
Didnt read ops post properly.
Works lol im going to blame it on the heat for my confusion :confused:

Does that come with toilet rolls?

Are you adding the code to the voucher code section by any chance? What you need to do is enter it in the product search (where it says enter your search term here) - then add the bag pack to your basket.

Just added anotber two packs of £1.99 paper still not working

Chair plus 5 packs of paper and bag
75.14 ex vat and code still not working really confused here!!

Updated description to make it less confusing.

Just tried it, works for me. It complains if you spend less than £36 inc. VAT (or £30 ex. VAT)

anything you buy over £30 excluding VAT.... eligible for free bag pack​

Still not working sorry. Tried different combos if items over £30

​I added 3 packs of paper plus one chair plus bag pack... total comes to 37 something plus free delivery and bagpack

​http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/mb/updateCartRouter.do

check this link might help you

Spent £30.96 with three packs of printer paper at £1.99 each still not working

spent ​£30 excluding delivery and VAT.....

Code not working and now £33.47 inc tax and delivery. Am I doing something wrong??

I've had this chair for 5 years now, nothing wrong with it. Though to assemble, I used my own better quality and much longer bolts with proper hexagonal heads on them as the cheap bolts they come with are poor (Do yourselves a favour and get some better bolts for a couple of quid at BandQ). I am 6 foot, it is adequately comfortable, plus a bed pillow works wonders. They also look far more expensive than £30. The PU leathers is fine, but it is fairly easy to cut e.g against a radiator.

Good idea - on my way!

​op can you please edit your post and add this freebie comment for samsonite bag pack ... it might more hotter than expected...

Again - for those concerned about quality, spend a £1 on protection plus and you can get your money back up to 12 months after purchase.

Damn! I did look but couldn't find any special offer / freebie for Viking Direct.

I had mine when I was working during the day and contracting at night (programming) for almost two years, doing about 6-8 hours a night on it, so I'd consider myself a veteran of this chair.

Surface leather held up really well. I worked hot summer nights, so the leather chair gave me a rash. The combination of mega-sweat and low padding made me bung a soft pillow under my ass. Got a bit squeaky after a while 'cos I kept rocking on it. Arms aren't made of leather and got a bit frayed because I picked at it a bit.

Overall, I'd say it's great for an occasional chair for the price and it looks nice and it easy to assemble. It's nowhere near as good as my £80-100 fabric office chair, but probably better than a £30 Ikea chair. You can do worse for the money, certainly so voted hot.

Never once exploded through my abdomen.

I'm warning you - do not buy this chair, it's cheap rubbish. We got 5 of those to our office non of this are comfortable, after 6 months we have to buy new better ones. Everyone is complaining about back sore.. etc.

The famous Viking Direct chair from back in The DVD Forums Bargain Forum days has only just bitten the dust for me. I'm sure there's a few of you here, who were with us all back then

Heat!

I have just thrown mine and my sons out. As others said, the material on seats rips. Such a shame as other than that, they were strong and sturdy. Don't waste your money!

I know, right? Lucky boy, I have to pay extra for this kind of thing.

same happened to me after a week but we used to practice bondage. We had to purchase a better more expensive chair but only lasted few more extra days

surely he wanted to try the extreme

:confused::confused::confused:

Cheap gas cylinder exploded. Not the first time it happened, recently a boy in China was killed by one fired right up his bottom.

Rubbish chair, leather started to crack after less than a year use, don't waste your money...

​What the hell happened there?

you cannot go wrong, the brand is NICEDAY

I have this chair too and both arms have cracked and split and only last a few months before that happened. Rubbish chair, the leather is fine but arms are not leather

I had this chair. Uncomfortable for the taller person as the "headrest" ends up in your shoulder blades. Gave it to a shorter person.

had one of those for a few years now. Good for a few hours use a day. Would not recommend for full time office chair. Padding is a bit light. generally happy with a decent looking office chair for £30-£35 mark.

The padding looks real thin the thicker it is the better.
This would make a good occasional use chair wouldn't recommend for long periods.

This is why I don't buy cheap chairs.

Junk. Arm rests wear out in weeks and the chair looks horrible. I got them for £9.99 7 years ago!

I have this chair in my office, in cream, no complaints here & I use it for 8 hours a day.
Still going strong over 6 months later, no squeaks, no cracks. But then it gets cleaned regularly with alcohol gel.
Maybe it is keeping the PU supple or something. :smiley:

I have one of these lying in my porch, if anyone wants it. was going to bin it, but might as well see if anyone wants it.

Renfrewshire area

Any recommendations on a quality £80-100+ office chair?

I also bought this chair, at first I thought it was a bargain but then after a while all the leather split and it also got all squeeky. It did look really nice though.
I would say if you are just going for occasional use and want something that looks nice then go for it but if you want to use this every day, pay a bit more.

Had this chair for a while so I thought I'd comment. Although good for the price, it does crack and becomes really squeaky. I've since spent £200+ on a chair and worth every penny, I'll never buy a cheap chair again. I do use it all day though.

Seems to have pretty good reviews + is a model they have been selling for some time, in recent years at a higher price than now. It's probably not as good as a £100+ chair, but it's significantly cheaper.

I got one of these chairs from Viking. Even though the chair leans back, erm... don't use it as a rocking chair or it will only last a few weeks at most.

I bought one of these but sent it back. Looks good in the pic, but poor quality. Leather is hard and rough and it hasn't got a great deal of padding.

Get a good chair why people buy cheap chairs they are going to sit in for hours is beyond me.

For about a £1 you can get Protection Plus which will give you 12 month return / accidental damage cover. https://viking.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3365/~/what-is-protection-plus%3F

I got this and so did lots of HUKDers. The PU leather on the seat cracked and the chair became squeaky after a year.

Well that's odd since I bought the chair and a book of stamps and paid no P&P.

Stamps are not included in free delivery. And minimum spend is £35 for free delivery not £30.

Is that genuine PU leather then?
