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.

Any reviews?

I think this is a very interesting read. Gives me a different perspectives about Gaming chairs, I always thought that they are pretty bad ergonomically but it doesn't seem so!
It is as good as it gets, of course incomparable with the true ergonomical chair but still pretty good!

Gaming Chair is Good for your back!

Where did you all get your Steelcase? Can I have the shop name or GPS please?
I would like to go and try. Am hunting for a good chair after the really horrible experience I have with a certain shop.
Don't they get hot since they are not really mesh? I find fully mesh one really comfortable I think.

Am looking these chairs also from Evis.com.my
Any reviews or comments? But crazy expensive.

The Okamura looks nice but no headrest. And it doesn't seem to be so adjustable from what I can see from the website.
WOW! They can even customise steelcase? I should just go to their S.Buloh factory maybe. So you just called them and ordered online or something?

yeap, that's what I'm gonna do after I settle my case first.

Errr.. nope. I don't see why I would go and try that model cause what I want from a chair is different. xD
But everyone's body is different, you should try if you could to see if it's comfortable for you.

Huh, I just realised Steelcase Leap cannot be tilted back based on the YT videos I saw, seems limited tilt. Can anyone confirm? That's out of my choice already then.

You try it Evis before?
The footrest is attached to the chair? I don't want separate units.

Over the weekend i went to test this chair, really comfortable since everything is adjustable to suit your body.
Like you advised, i added the legrest cause I do watch shows while sitting on an office chair so having that option is going to be very comfortable.
Only issue is that they don't have stock for black right now and have to wait for 2~3 weeks. third week of January they said.

Can you share the designs and links? And maybe where you got it as well?

So my chair arrived. Evis ErgoPro.

Pros:
- Love the additional legrest, can cross my legs or just relax on the chair. however you have to pay RM300 extra for it.
- Free delivery and installation, services are good and quick delivery, easy to communicate with. Hopefully after sales services will be as good as well
- Like that everything is adjustable and the mesh seems sturdy and strong, really hope can last instead of sagging issues later
- Built seems solid overall, I could nitpick certain things but overall still quite satisfied with the products.
- Love that I can adjust the lumbar support tension and height. So that it doesn't seem obtrusive towards my back, and also since it's cushioned, it's pretty comfortable.

Cons:
- Quite overpriced I feel. I think this chair together with the leg rest should be priced at about RM1800, I think that would be fair for its quality. Evis Products are kinda expensive. If their after sales services are really good then I got nothing else to say but at the moment I do feel that it's slightly overpriced.
- The armrest adjustable height is kinda too high. Unless you are a very tall person with a longer body, I can't rest my arms at 90 degrees even when i adjust the armrest at its lowest. (I'm about 157CM) But that's because of my body structure, might suit others better. And if you are around my height, and with the standard desk height, I would safely say that you will definitely need a foot rest (got mine from Ikea long time ago).

Which model did you buy from Alterseat?

You can go and try it.
I think the depth of seat is too much, causing my legs to hang in the air like that. Because you are suppose to have a space between your knee and the seat when you sit with the knees bend of course.

Or else have to look for other chairs within the same budget. A lot of chairs can adjust depth of seat @ RM400~RM500 from my brief scan through Lazada/Shopee.

Its true. I bought PoFit from AMOffice through Shopee and it was the worst decision ever, causing even more back aches with all the gimmicks.
Honestly the only way to know if the chair suits you or not is to go and try yourself. There are no other choices really. Look for those shops that have physical stores that allow you to test.
