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?

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!

    $100 ikea desk chair

    I’ll consider it. I like the $100 price point and Amazon and Walmart sell tons of crap and I don’t believe the ratings and reviews. The Amazon chair that I have now was ~$80. I just checked and it has 4.3 stars with ~31,000 ratings. That info has gotta be total bullshit.

    Anyway I’ve had it for at least 5-6 years

    That sounds great.

    Is it the comfiest chair? Nah

    For anybody reading this… I spent $15 on a donut-shaped memory foam cushion. For the price - it was one of the best purchases I ever made. I have lower back issues but for anybody it makes a cheap chair much more comfortable. Plus - of course - you can still use it after you toss your chair.
