I noticed that Ikea Markus got the RM499 and RM549 one.
The difference is the seating cushion right?

Which one do you guys recommend?

Really up to you, the 499 one is somewhat popular thx to not pv leather peeling off and less heat.

Also pls make sure your height at least 170 or even 175cm.

Markus tall only more comfy

One is leather and another is cushion. The leather one you can also just buy additional cushion to sit on also.

This one I agree. Markus is only comfortable for tall people.
I really didn't like it one bit when I had it.  I am only 159CM so yeah.

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

Rm 400 chair

I’m about 164cm, my head isn’t on the headrest. General sentiments here is pretty mixed, likely height issue.

I guess perhaps the usual merryfair or the other brand ?

Unless you don’t mind going for used.

Honestly have yet to see someone heavily recommend a 400-800 new.
Though, it’s surprising hbada is that bad ? I heard it was decent. Damn.

Yea, HBADA is bad, don't buy.

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.

From the pics, Alterseat looks comfortable and cushion is nice. Will wait and see how

I checked jimotty Japan and one being sold for 9800 yen.

Don't think I can find them in Hard Off.

New one is almost RM6,000! More expensive than my PC and GPU biggrin.gif
