UPDATE:

--

So my homies were discussing this yesterday:

Now I've seen gaming chairs before. I've ever owned or say in one, but I'll be honest they look like bullshit. Kinda like what this dude said... those literally do not even look comfortable or durable. That's just my ocular patdown. But I do know that office chairs are literally some of the best chairs and are also versatile.

So when I showed my homies the LeBron tweet, they're like yea s*** well I'm tryna get a new gaming chair too.

And so here comes my questions:

So what y'all think their answer was?

If y'all guessed cricket sounds, then yea.

So I'm asking KTT cus I assume at least some of y'all have gaming chairs. What's up with them s***s?

get herman miller like he said. gaming chairs are a meme

Yes Herman miller. I got an embody last year. They've since done "gaming" editions of the embody and aeron too, just a more sleeker look. You gotta dish out $$$ but it'll last you forevaeva

My office had secret lab chairs and I liked them so I got a titan. Haven’t had any back problems since I got it(thanksgiving 2019)

I got a SecretLab Titan, don't recommend.

A refurbished Herman Miller Aeron is prob the move.

Those Hermans are expensive as hell but s***. My homies bought their gaming chair last year or two and talking about they're looking to get a new one. Huh? Hell nah.

ive got one of those amazon gaming chairs and its nice. definitely an upgrade over my old chair.

will probably just sell it soon tho and get an herman miller.

Get a used Herman Miller from an office resale site. They'll be most likely in good condition and 60%+ off retail

Either get a used Herman Miller from some office close out sale.

Or get a staples dexley if you can’t afford that

Don’t get gaming chairs

How do you rate the chair overall?

imagine getting a gaming chair

what everyone else is sayin

Close out sales. That's a good idea

I had a Secret Labs gaming chair and while it wasn't bad at all the Herman Miller I have now is way better I can't even lie.

Definitely worth the money especially if you can find them from businesses selling them off like I did. Only paid like $350 for mine.

they only look cool, that's literally the only advantage

Are they comfortable? The gaming chair I mean. How does it fit? Cus it doesn't look to me (a person who has no experience with them) like they would be described as "comfortable". They seem more sturdy, which seems interesting to me.

Gaming chairs mid, office chair gonna be the best for your back and all that and the healthiest/best choice if you spend a lot of hours sitting

I mean it was comfortable, if I were to recommend a Gaming Chair to someone if they really want one it would be a Secret Labs because they actually put proper cushion and everything in them.

I would still would recommend a proper office chair over all gaming chairs though.

It's more of a firm feel. It's not uncomfortable though.

The biggest drawback with SecretLab imo is their service. It takes forever to get the chair and there always seems to be QC issues. For example my backrest is slightly crooked to the seat, and this is a persistent issue for a lot of people. Their customer service team takes forever to get back to you and is of really no help/not willing to replace it as "they are all handmade so we can't guarantee perfection".

Gaming chairs feel nice when you sit in them for a short period, so like when you're testing them you can be like wow this is nice but then after hours of sitting on them you realize how bad they are.

Get an office chair made out of mesh.

I got a $300-400 office chair from one of those office stores a few years ago and it's held up reasonably well

however, it has that fake leather and is peeling off.

Try to get real leather or expect to buy a cover and clean up little specs of s*** under your desk for a long time.

stay away from cushion and leather and get all mesh whatever you do

which Herman Miller model you guys got? Been looking at those. I like the sayl one

I bought on Amazon a year ago and it was def worth the investment. Paid like $100 nothing crazy.

Bout to look up some of the ones y’all mention in here tho

Damn these Herman Miller chairs cost wild f***ing bread bro lol I’m good
