Read through all 32 pages in 3 hours (including the posts, videos, specs etc)

I am using Markus now but the seat is cracked/tear (changed the seat once, the new one didn't last more than 2 yrs)

My new purchase, main requirement is to be fully mesh (back and bottom), ergonomic and wide (like Markus: so I can sit with my legs up)

Personally I am thinking of the following model (all seems wide enough, have mesh, "ergonomic enough"):
1) CG700 Alterseat
-> no review! why? -i think this one cost wise is ideal, has most of what i looking for. (not sure if the fix reclining is an issue or not for me and if the lumbar thingy is relatively good compare to others below)
2) ErgoPro Evis
-> seems pricy relative to other competitors here.
3) ErgoHuman AMOffice
-> this one seems like mixed review, so I can't be certain about this
4) Wau Merryfair
-> looks ok, just not sure about the plasticky parts.

I wouldn't mind spending more for Herman Miller but I don't think it is necessary. Also note that it is interesting that no reviews on CG700 Alterseat and Takeaseat chairs

Another Q: how many of you bought RM1k+ chair without testing it first? My dilemma now is whether to wait to test the above chairs before buying them (seems like a smart thing to do considering the price)


Any comments, ie what other considerations: warranties, personal xp etc?

Thanks!

hjh87 FYI, Trax uses GDEX to deliver.
I would have expected them to have their own fleets.

also could you have used a duster like to clean your seat gap?

Simple, cause mesh seat.

I think it’s worth the price? But I believe Steelcase Gesture would be equally good and more cost saving, only downside is that I read that it’s a super warm chair. I didn’t like Leap design myself and not mesh seat will be a no no.

what about COSM (high back) vs Aeron?

if it helps, I ordered the sihoo v1 from taobao recently for 1.5k including shipping. full mesh and it's pretty wide. no complaints so far

how is the mesh material? do you feel it is durable and comfortable after long seating?

Guess Ikea Markus isn't for me as I am just slightly over 160cm, guess my head won't touch the headrest.

I heard mixed reviews saying Gaming Chair is good, or isn't good. What's the general consensus here

My budget is between RM400 to RM800

I actually just bought this (link below), but after one week, the cushion flattens if I sit longer than 20 mins, and I need to move my butt for it to be comfortable. I am thin anyway (50kg) and it has this problem

if you are in no hurry, then just wait and go to showrooms to test the chairs.
I think Merry Fair and Alterseat should be in your range.
