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.For the past 20 years I have had this shitty desk chair. Given that I seem to spend a majority of my time when sitting in this very chair, I think it's time for an upgrade.
So I was thinking, purely for how funny the idea was, if a company like La-Z-Boy made a desk chair it would probably look like dad's reclining super padded comfy chair, only with wheels.
Well, while they are way to expensive for my budget.... They sure look nice.

Were I a king, I can see a couple of them that would qualify as my throne.. My beer warming on the desk as I snore away at my desk.
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.
