Personally, used an Ikea back home. Forgot what is was, but it was fabric and had very plush seats. Still at home maybe 2 years old, solid chair.

Would have liked leather but ikea’s are all pvc / fake leather which will rip and discolour.

I won’t ever buy an ikea office chair, not for something that i’ll be sitting on for endless hours on a daily basis, it’s an investment on your self, your health and ergonomics.

I always laugh at young people(my peers) who say why so young need this and that, when they fail to realise the internal damage is done, just they’re not feeling it yet.

Anyway, i got a herman miller chair for 4-5k, not bothered to remember the model name, but it’s heavy as shit, with high quality mesh back and some really breathable solid feeling cushion as seat, upgraded the wheels with “roller-blade” style wheel so i can roll from my working area to dry kitchen then toilet at lightspeed

Is it ikea Markus?

I had a Millburger. Use 2 years all peel. And my mistake was not buying Markus at topup a bit for their high back rest. Millburger not tall enough until head. So sit long hours neck pain like want putus.

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. smile.gif

I do have my qualms against AMOffice due to its horrible after-sales service and rude staffs.
Otherwise all of them look almost similar. should be ok? Unless you get to try?
Or you can visit Ikea to check out their chairs from the similar price range.

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.

Well, not everyone can afford a Rm4-5K chair outright. it's good for you that you can.
Everyone gotta start somewhere.

This is a pretty new product i think. I didn't it before when I was looking for chairs.
I like how it has more adjust-ability but I suggest that you visit Ikea to try it out yourself to know for sure.

I've surveyed many & ended up getting Pofit chair from AMoffice, rm1500... perfect for me so far.

Comes with a Bluetooth app that can detect your sitting position. Adjustable lumbar support.

The best is the headrest. The most important feature for me as I was having neck & shoulder issue working in front of the pc for too long.

Not new. Been in the market since 2018. I have also tried it during early 2020 in ikea.
