otherwise if you want something which the gaming chairs are based on, go grab a car seat, a box/cabinet and 4 coasters

#

and combine them

Hinomi, ergotron, herm miller

Secretlab

#

Mavix

#

And if on budget DPS (Costco brand)

icy moon Mar 16, 2024, 7:49 PM

#

no such thing as a decent gaming chair tbh

#

better off with an ergonomic office chair

#

i've used one singular gaming chair for about 2 years? and the cushions on these are usually shit, get a good chair rather than a gaming chair

#

that gaming chair you found up there on the top will make your rear hurt because the cushion will just flatten like a tire after about a few months use, you'll be sitting on pure plywood

I will always advocate office chairs over gaming. Sure, those $300-400 gaming chairs are nice, but you could easily find a $200 office chair that offers same comfort. And if you spend $300-400 on an office chair .... sheesh things start to get nice.
