I always wonder how do people get rid of their office chairs.

The steel case leap cost around 4K+ right?

Thanks for the review.

I wanted to buy the high end Sihoo one, now I'm thinking whether I should.

Been using SecretLab chair for ~6 months now. Bought it since many of my friends and online reviews said it's good.

It's really well build and sturdy. However I feel that this chair is not the best in terms of support and extended use with the pc (whether office work or gaming). Compared to the steelcase and HM chair in my office, the SecretLab falls way short.

Lumbar support is not great, headrest must use the pillow (without pillow CMI) but even with the neck pillow its not great. I honestly can't sit down on this chair for >2-3hrs at a time.

If I were to choose again I'd look elsewhere.

Price bracket also diff for gaming chairs and HM/Steelcase

Plus if HM, it never stops at the chair, later u realised u need to adjust desk/get a new desk, everything

was using old gaming chair during MCO period, sitting down 6 to 7 hours per days really made my lower back and butt area extremely pain. After intensive research and finally decide to get Ergohuman from Amoffice, after less than a week sitting on that, most of my pains are gone.

When you are young, sitting of any chair are fine, but when older age,  these things really matter.

Mainly the seat cylinder gas lift until footing and armrest can be harvested and sell to recyclers.
If you can dissemble the chair the recyclers will be more willing to help you dispose it for the parts thats worth little $$
Not sure. My sibling got it for free. Got the Harworth chair that Petronas group is using also but the recline couldn't lock in the desire position so end up we give to other that wants it.
Without trying personally it's a gamble. Personally anything above RM1k I will not consider Sihoo but instead on AM Office Chairs or Okamura.
Next one I'm thinking of Portone 

The 3 locked angle is definitely a cons. I find an angle that is suitable for me but I can't go there due to the lock.
For a better back, the second one is the better choice.
The 3rd position is too far back, without leg rest, your feet will be numb (don't ask me why I know  )
you just need to lean your back on it, don't keep exert force on your back or else will have spine pain like what you said (again, don't ask me why I know  )
Its either your table, or how you put your arms. If your keyboard is at the middle of the table then it will be an issue like what you said.
Yup its pretty common, and in the ideal sitting position, you won't use the headrest so yeah.

buy 1 get 1 free, for rm5k

That's true, but SecretLab for ~RM1800 I would top up some for SteelCase after my experience with it. Chair does look cool though

wow thats a good deal, on shopee?

wow ur ofis is so good, may i know which Steelcase chair that u guys have?

topup for HM btw, which HM your office have?

goddamn! thats the actualy price!
my company has staff price for Steelcase and Haworth products

Overall, do you think its worth the 700 MYR price?
I am more tempted to this DT-330 chair compared to Anggun as this one can recline further back so I can use it to watch TV after work (currently I only has a shitty sofa bed for everything)

But the lack of choice for chair with leg rest with the 500-800 budget is really disappointing. How do you deal with the feet numbness?

But isn't Okamura and AM Office kinda expensive ? Portone ? never heard of it.

I'm still looking out for chairs. can't seem to come to a conclusion.

Ikea markus is honestly not suitable for me, due to my height which is 164cm.

Okamura Portone is around 1899RMB from TB which is around 50% of Sihoo top of line chair I assume you mean Sihoo ErgoPro?
More closer to Sihoo ErgoPro pricing will be Okamura Slyphy Light around 2999 RMB.

Unfortunately but both of this not available to try so still a gamble.

If you have existing office chair then not really if you want to DIY.

Otherwise not bad ish but I probably spend more due to the tilt lock thingy and the height adjustment (so limited, much fail).

Anggun have the same issue too (can only lock at 3 spots) so if you want to watch TV after work then better get a higher end model with locking at any position and leg rest.

That being said, people do manage to get discounts here before from Merryfair so can probably ask around for their higher end models?
I don't tilt it to the max anymore   by default now its the 2nd position which is slighlty reclined which is better for the back

Is there an okamura retailer in Malaysia ? Would there e huge price difference ?
