I'm pretty fond of the Ikea Markus chair.
The only issue really is the arms on the side. If you are someone who leans to one side, or leans on your elbow while sitting, you'll be very uncomfortable. But you could probably just leave the arms off if you wanted. I eventually broke myself of the habit. It leans back pretty far, and as someone kind of tall, it's nice having a very high back.
I would also recommend, regardless of what you get, that you invest in some Roller Blade style replacement caster wheels. They make a huge difference when it comes to how well the chair rolls.
I've tried one of those and I really like them, I just wish they didn't scream "office chair"
The roller blades are a great idea! I could use them to convert other chairs
Buy it, take the fabric coverings off (I think they just unzip and can be removed, but they are a pain in the ass to do once it's assembled), then bleach and/or tie-dye the fabric. That's all I got!
That's actually a really good idea. You've opened up a world of possibilities with this snetence, thanks a massive bunch!
Yup came to post the markus, most comfortable chair I’ve had and I’ve tried all the fancy herman miller and gamer chairs. It’s especially nice if you’re tall, most chairs require me to slouch a lot for proper head/neck support but this one is perfect for me at 6’2”. I don’t think it looks particularly “office” either, it’s just a very minimalist simple mesh back in muted colors.
