Own a markus chair from Ikea as well. Pretty satisfied altough I guess armrest could be plushier? I guess i'm lucky to be the right upper body height for my arms to rest in a comfortable position. It was really cheap though (like 150$ can.) so I prefered it to those 500-1K chairs (which i might get eventually?) My gaming sessions are way more sparse and shorter than before, with work and all :S so it suits my needs currently.

A few years ago I spent a few months and tried probably close to 100 chairs finding the right one.
You do not have to spend 1k on a great chair. I found alot of $200.00 chairs perfectly comfortable. I ended up spending about 800, but it was based more on the materials and style, rather than comfort and durability.

The seller was a polish dude that road back and forth to the factory in Poland with a shit load of chairs.
Got the F03 model for 180 euro's, he raised the price to 196 tough, but its still a good deal.
But i think he only sell's within The Netherlands.
I think Need For Seat shippes all around europe tough.

But it will cost you 260, but thats still with in your budget.
And you will be supporting E-sports because these guy's sponsored HomeStory cup IV.
The chair is really comfy and i am very happy that i bought one.
Good luck looking for a chair


Do you know anyone that ships to Canada? Been trying to find a decent DX racer dealer for a while but I am awful at internet, Looking for a smooth sport RS.

DX Racer is like a EU / Asia chair... after duties, markup, and shipping - I highly doubt it would be worth it over a Herman Miller or Steelcase.

Yea you're probably right, which sucks because I can't afford those either. Bargain bin chair here I come, I mean I have about 400$ to spend and kind of want a high back but the only steelcase I can afford is really http://store.steelcase.com/brochures/crew/

Just save and wait for a sale if you're not willing to buy used off craigslist / kijiji / redflag.

If you really want the DX Racer and think it's worth it, you can pay for a forwarding service and buy it off Amazon.

No sorry, I live in the Netherlands so i have no idea who ships to Canada. You can try need for seat but I am afraid you will have to pay a shitload of sending costs.
There are allot of DX racer chairs on sites like Amazone...
Good luck!

alright i need some help, ive been trying to find a chair for a while now but the only chairs that the stores around here have are either cheap in quality or they dont meet my requirements

im looking for a small chair w/ no arm rests(chairs w/ removable arm rests work too) because my desk is quite low and i like to slide underneath it without having my knee hit my table or anything, arm rests get in the way because theyre too high up. so anything thats high in height is out of the question (my old chair had a 29cm difference between the bottom of the seat to the floor)

any recommendations?

That's about right.

I've had mine for about 8 months now, and usually other cheap chairs would start to be uncomfortable (I spend probably 10-12 hours a day in my chairs), but the Aeron hasn't even changed. The only complaint I have is the arm rests pivot and that's really annoying, but you can just put paper or whatever inside the slots so they don't pivot .

Which version did you get? The highly adjustable?
I am thinking of getting one.

I dunno if this is a conspiracy or something, but I simply chuckle at this. I've been gaming, and spent hours everyday on the computer for the last 7 years, in my ikea chair from the dining room, and damn its comfortable... I feel like chairs are a waste of money unless you're sitting on a wooden stool.

Much more important to just have a chair that's simply built for your body-type.

Chairs like the Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Leap can be adjusted to suit your body-type. Most (all) of the chairs from Ikea have very limited adjustments or none at all. Not to mention these companies specialize in office equipment and stand behind their products unlike Ikea.
