Seems pretty popular and well liked I want the armrests adjustable to allow for rotation without the armrests colliding with the side of the desk/table.http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00103102/ Unless you're over 300 lbs, any of the higher end chairs like the Leap or Embody will do fine if you're going online since they have many adjustments Based on my searching, those seems will outside of how much I want to pay for the chair.On March 01 2015 04:27 skyR wrote: Most chairs around the $200 mark will have height adjustable arm-rests, if you are looking for pivot or depth adjustment - you will probably have to pay a bit more. If you have to take your head off the headrest in a reclined position, it's a bad chair. Can you explain the last part? | ||

I previously had the Ikea Markus, but now I've taken the back and armrests off and simply use it as a leg rest. It works perfectly I have to say. I am also incredibly happy about my Maxnomic purchase. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me. I don't really have time right now to write a proper review. | ||

i used to have a lot of posture problems but easy solutions were just working out some and not even trying to have good posture after having been awake 10+ hours. That's when i can't sit straight no matter what chair i'm using | ||

I'm not sure what you mean by "normal" office chairs. I have an Aeron at work and an Aeron at home and it's a mesh chair. | ||

Aerons are probably out of my price range also how important are headrests? | ||

Aerons are probably out of my price range also how important are headrests? I see, in that case, I personally prefer mesh but I think that's subjective. I bought my Aeron (fully loaded) used on Craig's list. Paid $400 for it. You don't really need a headrest if you have good posture. | ||

i don't really want to overextend my budget to 1k for an office chair so i'm trying to get the best bang for around 300-350 CAD i heard the ikea markus wasn't so bad but not being able to adjust the armrests seems like a dealbreaker to me. also for reference i'm 5'9'' and quite thin. i will try to read more to get the most info but any input from people having a chair from these two companies is welcome | ||
