If you want a good desk chair look for a 24 hour operators chair! These chairs are designed for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and are used in jobs like air traffic control.
I was getting through at least one chair a year as i'm a big muscular guy (not a blobby whale!!) and I spend a lot of time working behind a screen.
The chair I purchased set me back £250 and came with a 5 year guarantee and that covers 24 hours a day for 365 days a year for 5 years.
I have now gone through the guarantee and the chair is still as solid as the day i bought it.
High out lay compared to lesser chairs but It has saved me so much money and continues to!
One day it might need recovering but it is a leather chair and it is holding up well in that regard.
I don't see me knackering this chair any time soon and if an office chair can be knackered I'm the man to do it. Yeah I fidget rock around, stretch ect which will take it's toll if a chair aint built to last.
