What computer chair do you have? - Keat - Feb 25, 2017
I need to buy 2 computer chairs. I want them both be the same but different color is fine. I am trying to find a good chair but don't know what to get. I know DX Racer are pretty good but then they have a load of knock offs and don't want to get a cheap one that will end up breaking.
What do you guys recommend?
I found these:

Some random 60 euro one from a local store (For almost 5 years now xD)

You'd be better of with an actual brand chair than an off brand that tries to copy another. If you're looking for quality stay away from knock offs

They're actually surprisingly high quality, which is to be expected considering they're $100+.. I don't see the point in paying $400 for a gaming chair when you can get a badass looking racing chair for like 3x less the price, I had one and they're genuinely comfy as fuck.
My friend had the DX Racer and was surprised that my $100 cheaper version was better.

I've been rocking a red dxracer for the past 2 or 3 years. It's pretty damn comfortable and comes with some good features (adjustable chair angle, locking/unlocking base)

Do you have a picture of which one you have?

I've got the "Ikea Markus". Pretty comfy chair for a fair price (around $140) not like all those professional gaming chairs for $500+.

Have you sat in any of them that have the pillows on the bottom and top?
And do you think you would prefer a leather one?

I have had this chair for a while now, http://www.argos.co.uk/product/6173649 It's still in great condition and has lasted really well.
* - UglyMeister - Feb 25, 2017
No to the first, and to the second there are some good and bad things about the leather vs. cloth. If you go the cloth route you will most likely not suffer "sweaty back syndrome" when playing for more than an hour, the only downside is that if you are eating/drinking and spill something on your chair it's gonna be much harder to get the stain out. Now leather on the other hand is much easier to clean and maintain imo but is such a bitch during the summer or if you're in a tight space with a hot-running pc beside you. Personally I prefer the cloth but your circumstances may compel you to buy one over the other for reasons other than mine.

I literally don't have a computer chair :( The one's you linked in OP look pretty cool, you might as well get one of those if you're willing to spend the money.
