I badly need a new chair.

I put the thumbnail chair there just for fun. It’s called the Vantum and it’s ~$700. I don’t need a Cadillac chair. A Honda is more than adequate. I just don’t know what that’ll cost.

  1. What’s the absolute minimum you’d spend to get a Honda chair? $100? $200? More?
  2. What brands have the best reputations?
  3. What brands should be avoided?
  4. What questions am I forgetting to ask?

Herman Miller and Logitech G Introduce Vantum, a Modern Gaming Chair Designed for Gamers From the Ground Up

The cough backstory

The plain-old desk chair I bought just 14 months ago already has a serious crack. I noticed it today. I don’t think it can be repaired. Plus the crack will expand making the chair worthless. It’s just a question of how fast. Worst of all - could the chair collapse all-of-the-sudden sending me crashing to the floor?

Before I bought it I avoided the cheapest chairs. I spent a bit more - $80 - in hopes the damn chair would last at least a couple years. So much for that!

    Gamer chairs are some of the worst chairs money can buy. Like most office chairs are better idk how anyone is still considering a gaming chair in 2k25. Also my office chair is fancy cos its bright orange so they can look nice as well

      Right? You should want to sit like an executive, WTF with the “gaming” chairs, when I hear that expression I just think “nice, an expensive plank to sit…”
