I remember seeing a chair a while back that looked neat, a stool with a flexible seatpost, but I can't at all remember what it was.

Splizwarf posted:What's the heaviest-weight/duty gas cylinder and legs available (individually, not by pallet or something)? At this point I am inclined to build myself something out of a luxury car seat. I work in the car industry so this is not going to be "too weird" (it qualifies as "employee enthusiasm"), but the lightest decent seat will still be probably 80 lbs. Please make sure to post the build and results.

Something like that most likely isn't going to put up with the abuse of sitting in it 40+ hours a week.

I don't think I would ever use a headrest on a desk chair, I also don't game if that makes a difference.

thechosenone posted:Hm, really? Well, Compared to the chairs I've been borrowing, it seems dramatically more ergonomic, has actual armrests, and can move without me picking it up. I've kind of given up looking for a chair I can recline in for any realistic price anyway, and the design seems so simple as to be hard to break. These things probably last forever right? Do I even want to ask why you are wanting to recline in a desk chair? How many hours/day are you going to be sitting in this thing?

I'm not proud to admit it, but I have been using one of these for a year or two and have had zero issues. https://m.staples.com/Staples-Hyken-Mesh-Task-Chair-Black-23481-CC/product_990119 I was going to splurge if it sucked or fell apart, but it still looks and feels brand new.

LLSix posted:The 48" wide desks have plenty of space for a single monitor and tower but are cramped with two. If I order another desk I will probably order something wider. Maybe in the 60 inch range. Swing by the SFF thread, they can assist you in freeing up more of that desk space.

You sure the grease you used hasn't just gotten good and worked in there? I would assume that type of grease would be perfect for this use case.

Josh Lyman posted:I quickly started to hate the Staples Hykken I bought from Craigslist for $80. It’s comfortable only if you’re in media consumption mode, i.e. your back fully against the back of the chair and using the headrest. Anything else and the seat area is just too small. Ugh, maybe I can sell it for $60. Are you of larger stature? I have been using this thing for 40 hours a week and am still impressed with it. Had it for over a year now.

I'll also recommend the Staples Hyken. It is currently on sale for $150 (Black or Gray) shipped with coupon code 53644 . I have been using one for about 40 hours a week for a few years now. Still feels great. https://slickdeals.net/f/14524727-staples-hyken-technical-mesh-task-chair-black-at-staples?v=1&src=frontpage

Dog Faced JoJo posted:Thanks for quoting this, I was looking for it. I bought the listed Staples Hyken Task Chair chair 10 months ago and am back in this thread looking for a new chair again. So far I've replace both arms, the seat, and the back (but not the casters yet!). Staples hasn't given me any grief about sending out replacement parts, but I shouldn't have to replace essentially every part of the chair in less than a year. I'm looking again because the arm rest foam is splitting on both arms for the second time. Uhh, I have been sitting in a Staples Hyken for like 40 hours a week, for like 3 years now. I have had literally zero issues and still have not thought about replacing it. I bought it as a trial thinking it would fall apart in like 18 months or something, then I could justify spending more monies on an HM chair. Out of curiosity, what do you weigh?

So I grabbed one of those all mesh Staples Hyken Task Chairs back in 2018. It still looks and feels brand new, and I put 50+ hour/week into it without discomfort. Was just poking around, apparently the charcoal one is down to $140 (they changed the name of it a while back). They normally sit around $180-$200. https://www.staples.com/staples-hyken-technical-mesh-task-chair-silver-53293/product_24328579 I thought it was only going to last me a year or two then I would cave and buy a Mirra 2.

My cheapo Staples Hyken is 275. I pulled up a few random Amazon ones between like $40 and $150, nothing below 250lbs. I assume the chair in question came with a bad cylinder from the get go.

TenementFunster posted:the weight ratings on cheapo chairs from overseas are meaningless. all they have to do is last long enough to be outside the amazon return window, because the “warranty” involves return shipping to china Ah yeah, good call on that. https://imgur.com/a/Gcpveyn Although at the < $150 price point, I wonder how many people would even bother trying to do a manufacturer warranty claim a year down the road.
