Office chairs

Had the same dilemma and didn't like any so I made mine. The chair is from an escort RS Turbo and I got the seats x 2 from eBay for £100and the bases were £30 each I think.

Very cool!

Thanks markeg. Ideally I would like one that allows you to quickly adjust the angle of the back. My current work chair has a lever which you can pull, push the back backwards and then let go of the lever to lock it. A lot of chairs I see are either locked upright or not locked. does your work chair do that? If so I might look at that one.

We have Aerons on the client site, but whatever you do, don't kneel on them to talk to your colleague at another desk...as you may find your knee goes right through the base mesh

That Ikea one looks very similar to the one I bought my dad, but his isn't 'leather/vinyl' but a dark cloth. Price sounds familiar, and his reclines to about 20/30 degrees and locks into whichever position you set. His also has shiny metalwork, so it might be an older/earlier model.



Although looking at some of those links on the Independent article, and I'm fancying a John Lewis Jefferson chair in lead grey...for my own computer room/home office.

I have the Ikea Markus (#7 in the list Markeg posted) and its very comfortable, excellent support (and it reclines enough that you can snooze on it ) had it for 2 or 3 years now and its still very comfortable and together (i find a lot of chairs like these tend to deteriorate) Well worth the £130 price tag and a lot of chair for the money imo
