Many people here can buy graphics card above RM1000, tapi when talk about chairs, some are using the kopitiam plastic chairs


I am looking for decent office chairs, with proper height adjust, lumbar support and armrest adjust. Headrest is optional.
Don't give me that Ikea crap (no armrest adjust), and the Aeron is too rich for my blood.

My company uses a mix of Haworth and Steelcase chairs, so I know how good they are. I am sitting on a Haworth Look.
Haworth has a showroom near Plaza Lolyat, but does anyone know the price? Haworth Zody comes highly recommended.
Steelcase is known to be hard to deal with, especially individuals, I am still trying to get the price for the Steelcase Think. Leap might be too hot for our weather?

AM-office sells this mesh chair from Ergohuman but it is RM2000+
http://amoffice.com.my/product/ergohuman/

I found Deltaonline selling the IOO series. It basically comes from the same manufacturer as the Ergohuman in AM-office, just slightly cheaper materials
http://www.deltaonline.com.my/cart/product...itle:IOO+Series


The same manufacturer also makes a series called Enjoy (aka Workpro quantum mesh chair in US). The Enjoy series is used by major companies in China. But I cannot find this locally. Not in Penang anyway.



Does /k have any thoughts?


EDIT:
Called the distributor for Steelcase chairs in Penang. Steelcase Think is RM1200-RM1300, Leap is RM2600+
Steelcase Let's B is RM900 in penang. Think chair is actually RM1800

i sit on this

Good luck to your spine

acient china ppl live long..
no prob to spine also

Ancient china people don't stare at glowing rectangles everyday.

should be dxracer king series. 1.7k

bcs a chair doesnt power ur games..

dxracer chairs are an abomination.
The people who make them should be hanged

everything also can adjust. choose black color so not look like gaming

standing workstation la

Herman Miller okay ah? Btw, how come those racecar seats ala DxRacer are suddenly everywhere? The company sponsor people to sit is it?

Standing with motorized desk

Ikea chair

Markus less then rm1k. Goofing if you ask me

IOO series looks interesting, how much ar?

good luck with ur life ......

HM is too rich for my blood. Unless you got any lubang that anyone want to let go 2nd hand cheaply

Motorized desks with memory cost more than RM1000. When leg tired still need to sit back on plastic chair

Same design as DX Racer.
Why do people think that these are good chairs anyway? Too much hype, PU leather = heat, and don't have lumbar support adjust. Also, PU leather breaks after few years into pieces. I saw some DXracer come with waist pillow as an afterthought for lumbar support. Chairs from reputable manufacturers (HM, Steelcase) can last upwards of 10 years.

found 1 aeron used in mudah but not sure is it ori or not. I'm also looking for 1.

I ask before some months ago. But i was looking for used one.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4567090/all

waiting for respond.


In the end what did you get?



Worse come to worse I can order from Taobao and get it shipped here (sea shipment cost about Rm150-Rm200). More options in China.

I agree, chairs are incredibly important. Racing chairs is the worst, i hate how curved in the chairs , you can't fold you legs properly etc. Just so many design no-no.

bought Okamura from extra furniture at garden mid valley. working fine for me. worth every penny as I'm working almost more than 12hrs.

buys pewds chair

only 399

Yes. Forgot to mention about Okamura.

Which Okamura did you get, Slyphy? contessa? Portone? Do you have more information about the price?
Are the seats hot if the room is just windows and fan?

contessa mesh chair. not hot as it a mesh nor fabric or leather.

I've always wanted the expensive office chairs but never pulled the trigger because I takut kena tipu. I will study your recommendations accordingly

sit on boss lap

secretlab

ini lapsap
can't compare to those professional ergonomic chair

get ikea markus la..below RM600

https://my.secretlab.co/collections

ya ka. never sit in one. ayam sit kopitiam green color chair only. :/

Lazada gaming chairs are about 300 only

Last time I wanted to get Herman Miller but KK don't have local dealer.

So I got Wagner this brand instead.
Alumedic 10. About 3.8k+ with headrest.

My office using Steelcase Leap as well. You will not feel any difference from the weather as long as air-conditioning is turned on.

BUT CAN IT DO THIS?

Just called the Steelcase distributor in Penang.
Steelcase Think is RM1200-1300 (just ngam ngam in my budget), Leap is RM2600

Too rich for my blood. Almost Aeron level.

Buy branded wont kena tipu.
Steelcase is Made in Malaysia yo.

Office sure aircon.
But home is Fan with Windows open unless the weather is too hot.

yea?

but can you do thi...!

no wai~

u can

ikea chair ald consider cheap and ok

I also want to buy so I tumpang in here.

Noble Chair, even though my friends use while Gaming on PC or watching Kekdrama, should be good for office too

Edit: both friends give many thumbs up from their experience, even until today one praised his back no longer hurts from gaming for long hours. Dota also more power now maybe automatic Divine every game.

Best chair for me was this Faux leather chair I used during uni bought from Officeworks when I was overseas. Around Rm300++
I basically lived on that chair! Sat until cushion at buttock gone

Edited: Just saw the model in earlier post.

Any good models that doesn't have roller wheels to recommend? My room doesn't have carpet and rollers actually not good for me when I'm feeding in game. Prefers those Non rollers comfortable for long hours chair. Hope there's showroom in JB !

This post has been edited by FollowMeRogerThat: Jul 30 2018, 03:25 PM

the sit on it and limteh mahjong, chinese chess etc...

These type of "Gaming " chair not worth your time to compare with professional certified ergonomic chair.

Ikea markus rm500 still better than dxracer alike gaming chair at rm1k

Can office chair give you more FPS?

Been using steelcase gesture for 1 year plus for my gaming station.. at office, using steelcase leap.

Both very nice chair. Steelcase gesture is around rm3.6k with added features.. comes with 12 (twelve) years warranty.

those branded chairs cost upwards of 5k+ sometimes, they have lots of adjustment like lambar support, neck rest, hand rest adjustments, can slide the chair front or back, can swivel left right, and most importantly can last a very long time.

I just use the ikea office chair, it's working fine after 5 years, though not alot of adjustment options.

honestly those "gaming" chairs are ugly as hell and they are NOT comfortable at all, plus they get very very hot and sweaty after long hours of sitting because there is literally zero ventilation on the chairs, somemore leather just make things worse.

Get an office chair better, get those with cushion seats and mesh backrest so you don't burn your butt and back.

but too many idiot want "gaming chair" , as i tried , its seems like the ikea one is sooo much better then it

All gaming chair are sampah, better get a proper comfortable office chair [ayam the victim]

Wow, Markus macam quite good wor, gonna try one soon!
New job will be home based, hence needs proper chair...

Markus is good for 168cm++ people.

I 163cm lidat. When seat deepest depth my leg is hanging

So kaya ka. No need to plant paddy ka?

Try Herman miller the best office chair

https://store.bristol.com.my/soulchair.html

Steelcase Leap

Bought V2 about a year back .. excellent chair and no more back pain.

Expensive though ... paid close to 4K including headrest etc

But I spend probably 12 hours a day in it, so it’s worth it

only sohai buy 1k gaming chair. just buy normal ergonomic chair

If you work from home and sit on it all day, I suggest you spend more on a good chair.
Mesh chairs are good if you need to fart. But they have the tendency to sag if you sit too long. Hence your butt sits lower than the edge lip. This causes the edge lip to press on the back of your thigh, cutting circulation to the leg. The effect is more pronounced in overweight people.

Penang distributor quote me Rm2600 without headrest ready stock. Some forumer shared that they got it for RM1700 before our currency drop 3 years ago.

Where did you get your leap chair from?

if spine health is what you are looking for..
sit on an exercise ball.

I see, my height should be ngam ngam then
If you tak suka your leg hanging, can consider buying footrest

Limited budget mah... after few months baru upgrade

I'm usiong the ergo human highback mesh version...

Used for about 5 yrs liao...

CHanged 5 wheels my room is not carpeted, so the plastic of the whele started coming off... but got it replaced RM10 each

Exercise ball means you have to sit upright, which is very tiring. And exercise ball has no lumbar support
I don't agree with the recommendation that you have sit upright 100% of the time. It is good for your upper body i.e. neck and shoulders, but your lower spine will be bearing the bulk of the load.

Like everything, your spine also needs some rest. As such, at times, you need to sit reclined so that your lower back can take some rest. But reclining will load your upper body, and strain the neck.
The good way is to sit multiple positions, so that different part of your body takes the load on average.

Here is a blog that I think would explain better than me.
http://blog.szynalski.com/2017/07/how-to-p...change-position

So sittin on exercise ball is bad?
Then how come a lot of people recommending it?

For the past few months I've been doing back exercises (deadlifts, rows, pull ups, face pulls, etc) and generally being active.. and I find that I don't desire ergonomic chairs as much as I used to. Something to think about

You can google around. Many websites says they are good. Many websites also says they are bad.
I think they are bad.

If you disagree with me, you can buy one and try for yourself. They are pretty cheap, less than RM100.

Not disagreeing with u. Was genuinely asking. Ya planning to try it myself. Since I notice I always end up sitting at the end of the seat n not leaning into the office chair.

is there are any place in KV where I can try all these expensive branded chairs?

I just need 1 or 2 office chairs. I agree with TS, sit on the chair everyday, spend a bit for the chairs la

Some brands based on feedback. Depends on your budget

Okamura (xtra furniture Gardens)
- Contessa 4k++

Herman Miller (Some forumers says Gardens got)
Aeron - 6k++
Embody - 9k++

Ergohuman Mesh(Am-office) - 2k++

IOO Mesh Chair (Delta office) - not sure price. expect less than 2k

Steelcase (contact KL steelcase, should be in Gardens)
- Think - 1.3k++
- Leap - 2.6k++
Steelcase carries a big range of cheap to expensive chairs. You can look for their catalogue.
My office has a bunch of Let's B chairs, probably under 1k. They are pretty decent if your budget is tight.

Haworth (Somewhere near plaza lolyat). Got comments in reddit says Haworth have bad reliability
- Zody - ??
- Look - ?? (this is the chair that I sit on in office. It has more features, but I feel that the Let's B is slightly better)


Lower end, go get Ikea Markus
Cheapest - get kopitiam plastic chair

Others I might left out.
Things to note:

Chairs are mechanical things. So its best if it is good warranty, as mechanical parts can wear out.

get a lazy boy gaming chair
go big or go home brah

AM-office sells this mesh chair from Ergohuman but it is RM2000+
http://amoffice.com.my/product/ergohuman/

I have this chair from AM Office. DO NOT get this. Will regret it long term. There is no way to disassemble the bottom part of the chair, dust easily accumulate inside the mesh bottom. Only way to clean it out is to use an industrial blower.

I am going to check the Let's B and maybe Markus based on Kaiser's recommendations

Before this Steelcase didn’t have a distributor, since they did the chairs are more expensive unfortunately

Is that Rm2600 for the V2? I paid close to 4K for the V2 with headrest from the official distributor ... can’t remember the name now.

nope. been using one for 3 years. Still comfy and much better than 'office chairs'.

it ain't herman miller, but it works.

right...kaya ppl only got the luxury to sit down limteh mahjong..
those poor one bz paddying..
that's fact

Go MAJU Homes.. there have office chair.. good and reasonable price.

How about merryfair?

for steelcase, their showroom is at this address:
Zenith Projects Technology Sdn. Bhd. (741577-K)
B-13A-07, B-15-07,
Menara Prima, Jalan PJU 1/39,
Dataran Prima,
47301 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor Darul Ehsan .

this is where i bought my steelcase gesture.

Gesture used to be RM2K+ many many years ago. Planning to buy one now and it's like 3.6K above, sad. Gaming chair is a scam haha.

TS ... the pricing for Steelcase Think Chair still valid at RM 1.8K? How to buy?

Go to Steelcase show room in Shah Alam, Zenith Projects Technology.

Any thought of Kokuyo brand chairs??

Go for dxracer office chair. Personally im using this

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.OdOE

Really good if you are big and tall guy.

Heavy branding but not long lasting.
For the same price, easily can get one of the steelcase series of chairs.

Hi there,

Did you successfully contact Steelcase Malaysia (Garden)?? Been calling the office number but not in service. Or Steelcase Malaysia already close shop.

Just contacted Zenith, and Think is currently price at 1.8k - 2k depending on the frame colour.

I went directly to the penang distributor.
Cash and carry.

You lives in Penang?

Thank you for the update. Now I'm looking forward for Steelcase Think

Btw, any possibility to online order?

This post has been edited by Irzani: Feb 14 2019, 05:50 PM

Kind of strange, on telephone sales representative mention pricing around 1.8k to 2.2k.

But after emailing them with more detail spec. Get quoted for 2.1k to 2.6k.

Online ordering like doing the selection of chair material?? (I think not possible). I can't find this feature in Zenith website neither the actual Steelcase website as well.

But if you did email Zenith, please glance through your spam box for their reply.

Got from ebibca too.

Mind to share the pricing on this model??

ts what did you end up buying?

My office using Haworth Zody if i'm not mistaken, so so only lah. Maybe because i'm not the type who like to sit very long.

How much?
