As most forummers know, there is a very widely recommended chair called the Ikea MARKUS. I have done a fair bit of reading and research and ultimately decide to buy it, so please refrain from suggesting any other make and models. I just wanted hear some feedback to help decide if I should get the leather version or the fabric version from MARKUS owners.

Some info if it helps:
- I will usually be on the chair for the entire day (12 hours) on Saturdays and Sundays.
- No air-cond as my set up is in the living room, only one small standing fan (the old panasonic kind) pointing towards me.
- Will eat food regularly at this seat, have spilt stuff on previous chair. (this would point to leather but I'm not opposed to cleaning the chair regularly if fabric is easy to clean)

I been using the Markus for 4 years before it was replaced with a new unit under warranty.

It is a very good and comfortable chair for the money but without a doubt there are better chairs out there that cost significantly more money.

Get the leather as it is easier to clean than the fabric ones. I have it steamed clean once every 3 months or thereabouts.
