My Logitech collection is growing :)

The Ikea Markus is shit. If it's fits you out of the box that's great, but for the majority of users having an adjustable base, adjustable arm rests and adjustable lumbar support is a requirement so chairs actually fit us.

What chair do y'all use

Ikea Markus. Skip anything with the gaming label, office chairs are infinitely more comfortable. The arms are easily removed for simming, originally why I got it. r/OfficeChairs

Best chair for WFH (₹15k budget) that can recline fully / sleep?

I bought my sibling this very nice featherlite chair. They are manufacturers whose chairs are used in offices of other chair manufacturers. Best in India. On the other hand, if you can live with non adjustable armrests, the IKEA Markus chair is very good. I have that in my office.

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck

I hate it. I used it at work. I like my own Secretlab Titan gaming chair more. Or any gaming chair that allows armrest adjustments and more tilting features than the Ikea Markus.

I just use an office chair from Ikea. JÄRVFJÄLLET , to be precise. No complaints. There is a cheaper MARKUS chair, and the difference is mine has adjustable armrests. If Markus' fixed armrest length fits you, you can go for that instead. But also, it's important how you sit. Most health professional

Help for 15 year old son

I have an Ikea desk (120cm wide) the 80cm is a bit of a struggle with 2 monitors. I think it was £25 for the desk and around £2.50 for each leg. The desk isn’t solid wood though so you can’t put your full body weight on it etc but they have not failed me yet a they are so cheap. I also use no monito

MacBook Pro M4 14-inch Desk Setup - London, England

Chair looks sick. Mine is the IKEA Markus, which I bought in 2008 and is still like new save for the logical worn out on arms and headrest but honestly nothing too noticeable, really. It has proved a beast. It's just a few weeks ago the shaft has started showing signs of fatigue and I have found mys

Best ergonomic chair under €200?

i ran into the same issue finding a tall-friendly chair in Europe without breaking the bank. tbh, at that price point and your height, the IKEA Markus is the go-to recommendation. it has a high back, headrest, and adjustable arms, and it's widely available in the Netherlands. Another option is the C

Gaming vs office chair - replacing my embody

The Embody definitely isn't for everyone, especially if you want to lounge. I switched to a generic ergonomic mesh chair from a local shop after my back started killing me in a "racing" style seat. If you're leaning toward Ikea, the Markus is a classic for a reason, though the armrests are a bit sti
