No armrests will screw up your shoulders beyond belief. You won't notice it coming on either, until one day you wake up with shoulder RSI.

I think that's because of the desk, not the chair.I've been really happy with this chair from argos with fold up arms. It makes it much easier to get into a good seating position and lets me tuck away the chair too
My shoulders have never bugged me in 2 decades + of gaming, armrests wrecked my elbows in about a year, so at the very least I'll take that trade off.

Most chairs' arms will fit under a regular desk if you push the chair up close. Those are bumping into your desk because it has drawers and its top is thicker.
How in the world do armrests wreck your elbows?
Hey, I'm also a recent Flintan buyer.I don't like it at all. Ended up buying the cheaper brother, the Flintan.
Thoughts on it? I ended up buying it as a stop-gap since it was the only chair IKEA would deliver that wasn't super expensive.Hey, I'm also a recent Flintan buyer.
I found out this is cheap as it can get for an ergonomic office chair
I've had one since December and don't have any major complaints. The built-in adjustable lumbar support is a million times better than those stupid pillows you get with every other gaming chair, and the fabric version is nice, shouldn't start disintegrating after 6 months like all the pleather ones do. I've had temporary (appearing suddenly, lasting an hour or two then disappearing) lower back pains maybe 3 or 4 times this year, but I don't think it's the chair. I've been working from home almost full-time for over a month now, I'd imagine I'd be in pain every day if it was that. The arms could be a bit more adjustable, but otherwise it's all good. Sitting on it for whole days on end hasn't been an issue (with obvious stand/walk around breaks at least once an hour).
That said, it's overall just fine, not incredible, so I wouldn't really say it's worth the high price. At 200 to 250 USD it'd be a good deal. It's pretty hard, if that's an issue. The fabric version I have also smelled like fucking death when I got it, like absolutely hardcore chemical smell, and I genuinely had to keep it outside for 2-3 weeks until I could sit on it for longer than 30 minutes without getting a headache. This also led me down a rabbit hole of SecretLabs impressions online and while I don't have any personal experience with them, their customer support seems to be complete, utter trash. The headrest pillow also sucks, it's too big and I've already had to sew it back together once cause it started to rip open from where the loop connects to the pillow.
In short, I think you'd be happy with it if you got one, but I'd suggest taking your 400 and going around trying "real" ergonomic office chairs first. If you don't find anything good, knock yourself out.
Thanks for the impressions. Sounds a bit disappointing comfort-wise. Does it seem as durable as advertised? The idea of having it last longer than other chairs is what really grabbed me.
Seeing this thread pop up again just makes me remember how I don't like my like-new Herman Miller Arron that I got just last October. The seat is too small and I'm constantly slipping and finding it hard to sit comfortably. Was thinking of trading it in, but now it doesn't look like a good time to do that.
You made the original post hoping someone would set you up for this joke didn't you lol

Oh Jesus Christ.
See the seat size chart I posted above. It factors in weight and height.Hi guys, OP here. I have a question.
What if I am tall-ish? I am 6'2. And I was looking at Arron chairs from Madison. Would the "B-type" chair for me for my height? Im mostly thinking of the lower back support. I notice they have a curve in them even without the adjustable lumbar support?
Oh Jesus Christ.
If you have a Design Within Reach outlet near by they have cheap Aerons for days. I am Embody curious however.
I have an Embody and completely honest, it's maybe the best grand i've ever spent. It's not an extremely comfortable chair, but it's extremely anti-fatiguing. Once you dial it in and fit it to your body, It suspends your ass and back in a way that you don't experience any discomfort that comes with spending hours or even an entire day sitting in a chair. It's completely worth the $1000 if you spend a lot of time seated at a computer or work from home.
I've read good feedback about the Quantum 9000 at Office Depot. If you can head out and have an Office Depot nearby, you could even try a floor demo unit (though not sure how good of an idea that is with the whole virus situation going on)Then what should I look for then because every office chair I've been getting has not been great. I want one that's really soft because I have no ass.
I'm only seeing a very sharp, uncomfortable cushion, and a broken and twisted back without any legs.Anyone has a recommendation of a chairs like this? Currently I'm using an ordinary office chair or whatever and standing (ascendable table)
I need to improve my posture but I'm way more irritated in my current chair when I try. So a chair that forces you to sit the correct way is what I need
Would not recommend. That form factor puts undue strain on your knees, buttock, and thighs, and you'll be in a great deal of pain within 30 minutes of sitting.Anyone has a recommendation of a chairs like this? Currently I'm using an ordinary office chair or whatever and standing (ascendable table)

At least one 1-star review:
Good enough. But you will start to wish the back of the chair is a bit higher, so you can rest your head onto it after a long night gaming session, and dozing off while I'm livestreaming. :(Thoughts on it?

Well that certainly makes it clear.Did you get the right size for your body type?
Well that certainly makes it clear.
But anyway, I got mine from a guy who repairs these, so what I got is likely a hodgepodge of other chairs. The back support on mine is B, like the one I had before, but the seat just isn't long enough. On the site, it looks like all the parts can be customized though. I wonder if I can still have that part replaced for a bigger one?
Figured this out the hard way years ago.
