Anyone else sick of computer chairs?

[Rio]

Like they break all the time. Your lucky if one lasts 5 years.

Its amazing how they took a chair, something that could last over 100 years and designed ones that can't last 10. Then make them cost more too boot. Then make the air chamber cost so much you'd buy a new one over fix them.

Like I've got 3 broken ones in my house right now. All 3 with broken gas cylinders. And one with broken wheel legs.

Sometimes I feel like they are almost as big a scam as computer printers with thier memory chipped ink carts.

I just use a normal house chair...

[shoopy]

I've never broken one in more than 30 years...

[Ganger]

I find the seat cushion tends to wear itself out over time and go flat but I never had one break on me. If your a gamer then you need a decent chair, gaming chairs are good and look good.

I change mine every couple of years or so.

I have no idea what to say. I am actually laughing.

The problem is, you don't want a gaming chair and you might want to spend around 300 bucks for a VERY good seat, which i did. Well, i am around 98 lbs, so the chair won't really break with me, but sometimes you have to grab some expensive.

tbh idk how much these 3 chairs were. All 3 were gifts. One of them though seemed to be a high quality chair.

The last time I was going to buy a chair during a sale, the store was sold out.

See my thinking now though is that if chairs are going to keep breaking and they are 200-300 dollars a pop. I might as well switch to a laptop over a desktop. Then I don't need computer chairs anymore, I can chill on the sofa or recliner or in bed.

Hmmm you regret that decision babe. You might aswell get some sort of a.. armchair, like those comfy. I think there are some gaming related (no dxracer or anything like that) and actually pretty good ones.

Theres also that I've seen so much data that sitting a lot is bad for health. And a laptop means I can sit less.

You must be doing something really wrong for chairs to break to be honest or your weight is too heavy or your the most unlucky PC gamer out there for buying defective products.

I haven't bought any of my chairs, they were all gifts.

A quality gaming chair will last you 5 to 10 years...

Consider DXRacer, Noble, or Vertagear (for example).

The "Vertagear Gaming Series Triigger 350" has a 10 year warranty. The comfort factors of these chairs are up to 8 hours+ of continuous sitting per day. That's some serious build quality.

Expensive? Perhaps... but considering how regularly you use it and the replacement costs of the lower quality crap with zero back support, messing up your body posture too. It's an investment which could pay out in the longer run.

5 years is still awful for a chair imo. That means if you start at 20 and live until 80 and the chair is 300 a pop. Thats 12x300 or 3,600 dollars.

I bet you sleep in some lumpy crappy cheapo bed too and have back problems in the future?

I personally consider the bed and chair, one of the most overlooked equipment which you use the most. 5 to 10 years of comfort and support, is worth a mere $300 pocket change.

I use whatever fancy chairs executives and CEOs use. I forgot what they're called. Anyways, they've been good to me. I only had one chair go due to the air chamber. And, that was because I was overweight. If you buy crap, don't expect it to last.

I've often wondered if computer chairs have made my back problems worse, wouldn't surprise me in the least. I mean, I have a decent one now but the ones I had before sucked and didn't help me at all in that regard.

Probably have, sitting too much isn't good for you. I've had one chair that tried to force your posture to be correct.
