There is nothing I find more infuriating than desk chairs that are designed to look like race car bucket seats. Fake bolsters and fake racing harness holes will not make you game any better. It’s just tacky shit for people who don’t know any better.
They do look horrible. I found a model that at least has sofa fabric, not polyurethane fake leather but still it's a bit tacky. You don't need lateral support on a damn desk chair. But unfortunately these chairs are great value, you can't find office chairs with the same comfort features for that cheap. I paid $400 for my better than average gamer chair while an equal office chair is about $1200.
For anyone looking for a chair that doesn't want to spend >$1000 or get a gaming chair, I recommend looking for an office furniture reseller in your area.
There are a lot of shops that buy used furniture from companies either going out of business or moving.
I was able to get a new Steelcase for like half the price, still had its tags and packaging. Granted this was during covid where a lot of businesses were dumping their in-office supplies, but still worth a look.
So much this. My fiance and I found this weird hole in the wall place in an industrial area. They take us back and there's just shit tons of office chairs in just about perfect quality. Was prepped to spend like 800. Walked out with a leap V2 for like $340 US- after tax and all. Lmao just about made my week haha
