Personally I use Ikea Markus, along with many forumers here:
https://www.ikea.com/my/en/p/markus-office-...-grey-50261151/Which I concluded to be pretty good value for money at a lower budget(RM499 for the fabric version).
My criteria included:
1. Need headrest
2. Can lean back and lock (Markus leans at about 60 degrees I think)
3. Fabric (Important if your location only use fan and not aircond)
Tips:
1. Ergo wise, Markus is satisfactory la. You want more ergo assurance can eye for Herman Miller(+$$). Someone else can advise if AmOffice is good on ergo or not.
2. If want full lean back can eye for gaming chair, some can lean up to 180 degrees.
3. You may consider leather if you use in aircond room and you're prepared to maintain the leather(not sure how, sapu minyak or something to prevent flaking?)
4. Fabric chair maintenance involves vacuuming and wiping with wet cloth.
5. More often than not, you should skip those less reputable China chairs under RM300. I've yet to see one which could potentially look like it's comfortable, sturdy and long-lasting. Typically the wheels will pecah first. Study the customer reviews.
6. If you ever are able, do leave a thorough and detailed review of your purchased chair for the benefit of other people who are looking for office chairs. We were once in their shoes hoping for the same enlightenment.
Something better than "terima kasih terima kasih terima kasih terima kasih" or "selamat diterima belum try lagi. pape seller bagus".
I am also using Markus, until I changed to a chair from AMOffice and got a lot of issues. And now back to Markus for now.
I can vouch for above comments. For a budget chair, I think Markus is pretty solid, it's an all-rounder.
The lumbar support might not suit everyone's body cause it's not adjustable. The head cushion is just a nice addition, however it's a large chair so for me, as a woman, it overshadows me and i found myself with no support on my neck. But not much of an issue really.
But overall, the quality is good, sturdy and something you would expect from a RM500 chair.
