Used to be a fan of secretlab, but not very pleased with their quality after buying 2 chairs over the span of 8 years

1) 1st chair was the standard secretlab with p.u leather - p.u leather peeled off after a year, and it looks horrible

2) ordered the second secretlab chair - titan with nappa leather. Very expensive and as Malaysia did not have this model, had to order it on the sg site and have it shipped here. Leather was fine but overall the chair was hard as a rock. (read the reviews online) - very uncomfortable after extended periods.

Right now using okamura contessa seconda, couldn't be happier. The chair costs more than the two secretlab chairs combined, but it's well worth the investment.

Yo bro, I know it's almost 1 year ago, but can you tell me how's your Contessa seconda? And how much you paid for it?

Of course lah. look at our shit currency!

Compared with Japanese yen we are doing well though. So I guess the price hike is due to Russia-Ukraine war maybe? (Shortage of chair parts raw materials)

Even though it's Japanese, and you think it's transacted using YEN???

Export/import is transacted using USD worldwide. On top of raw materials shortage, and price increase. Fuel prices hike up so much, even plane tickets are so expensive these days because of the increase of fuel prices.

You're right, sis. I didn't take into account of USD as medium of transaction. In this case, can I assume even when economy improves later, the price of chair will remain high (and higher)?
Just like hawker stall uncle auntie won't lower price of food after price hike?
