I need a new chair!

[takashi78]

The one at home is broken and gives me back pain after 20mins sitting on it.
I work from home sometimes now and need a ergo chair.
I first saw the Herman Miller Sayl chair below.
It may look simple but damn its comfortable to sit in

And also the cheapest Herman Miller chair, they really do make nice stuff!




Saw the price on the official website thought max rm300-500 more expensive here. Well i was dead wrong , its 120% more expensive in Malaysia 

So, i need something not too fancy, just comfortable and ergo enough for my room.

Any idea guys?

Oh how i would love an Eames chair but that will cost me a brand new Grand Seiko at least , maybe some day.

Come on throw some ideas out will ya...and where to get in the Klang Valley.

IKEA comes to mind. They have a wide selection. Modern / contemporary designs.

Get a big swiss ball and sit on it. it is good for ur back as it activates ur spine throughout the  day. good ones about rm200.

[terrenceterrence]

Yeah Swiss ball, great to train your core muscles 

Although it does not have that cool factor u are looking for.

SM,
Thanks! Will speak more to you this weekend. Forgot your are in the industry.
But i was just amazed at the 120% more price difference!

I would love the Aeron, but i think its overkill now...wait til i get to become GM hehe....

Would love to hear you alternatives.

If around rm300~500, then it is worth buying... good chairs around that price and more

[takashi78]

LOL as with everything which is "well designed" and "good quality" and "built to last".

Think 7x-10x more for the cheapest model!

But then again, i havent been doing much research and trying out chairs much.

A lot just "looks" good/well designed. I have one at home. Wasnt really that comfortable. Good enough. At least it lasted me i think 5-7yrs now.

I bought mine from jj chairs maluri
A local manufacturer...
Made there, next shop...

[takashi78]

Thanks, let me go research a bit.

[takashi78]

Damn...after testing out the Aeron chair for a good 30mins, everything else seems....well...meh...

It even has a place in the Museum of Modern Art.

The japanese chairs look good.. what the price range?

[takashi78]

I think same range as Herman Miller or less.
One AD in Gardens Mall is gonna bring this brand in end of the year they said.
