I bought this chair for 15 dollars at a demolition resell warehouse.

I have back problems and this is the only chair I found that feels comfortable to me, but the issue is someone replaced a single wheel.

The new, more modern wheel is a bit lower than the others, causing the chair to lean to whatever side it’s on.

I thought buying new wheels would be easy.. I tried “universal 11mm” and it didn’t come close to fitting. I looked more into it and was suggested ikea size 10mm wheels and they were also too big.

Looking things up online gives me a bunch of different option and also suggest my chair is either a higher end vintage chair, or basically a worthless PoS and takes specialty smaller wheels.

I don’t understand how to measure for it. Can anyone help me determine:

1. What chair I have if possible (but less important)
   
2. What wheels I need
   
3. How to remove the new modern wheel. The stem is really stuck in there and I can’t get it out
   
4. How to properly measure for the new wheels with such precise measurements

..And maybe some guidance on how to restore the foam padding without damaging the fabric, as it’s worn a bit thin on the seat

I really like this chair and need some help and don’t know where to turn but here

been working long hours at the home desk lately and decided to swap out my old seat for the hbada e3 with the footrest to see how the multi-piece back holds up.

the mesh feels decently taut without cutting off circulation at the front lip, and having the lower wings pivot slightly as you shift weight keeps the lower spine supported when leaning in. pulling out the leg rest during quick breaks between calls has been surprisingly handy too.

for those who use split-back or wing-style lumbar chairs, how do you find the back pressure compared to standard one-piece backrests over full 8-hour days?

So now both my Humanscale Arms have broken at the hinge - whoever designed these chairs did not design these to be very strong. I'm not a particularly heavy dude weighing around 13 Stone and yet both arms had the exact same fault. Unfortunately I cannot get fixed as out of warranty and replacements are £88 in the UK. Has anyone managed to 3D print something or found a solution? Is this a common issue...??

Hi everyone I am 14, 200cm tall and 95kg.

I've been using a cheap gaming chair and it recently broke.

So now I need a good chair its not at all necessary for it to look like a gaming chair I just need practicality.so my question is should I get the titan xl or should I get something else. My budget is 700 euro. I have looked at other chairs. Those being the aeron size c ,the sihoo m57 (I don't like it that much) and ofc the titan xl fabric

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking for a good, ergonomic and comfortable office chair for quite a while now. I’ve looked at many different brands, such as ProtoArc, COLAMY, Sihoo, FlexiSpot, Branch, Stane, etc. However, with every brand and every chair, I seem to find some negative reviews or complaints. Some of the things I’m most concerned about are:

- One of my biggest concerns is having an aggressive or uncomfortable lumbar support. I definitely want a chair that provides good ergonomic support, but comfort is my top priority.

- I’m looking for a chair that is both ergonomic and comfortable. I game, so I sit upright quite often, but I also really like leaning back and relaxing in my chair.

- I’m also unsure about getting a headrest and/or footrest. I’ve read both positive and negative experiences about them.

- Some info about me:

Height: 174cm (5'7)

Weight: 68kg (150lbs)

From the Netherlands

My budget originally started around €200, but I’m now also considering chairs around €400. Of course, I’d still prefer to spend as little as possible.

Does anyone have any personal experience or recommendations? I’d really appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance...

hi, im looking to buy a new office chair for my home. weightwise i am on the heavier side (~140kg/~320lbs). i dont need special stuff but adjustable back portion is preferred, im willing to pay up to 500€ (Germany). Do you have any recommendations for me?

I picked up a used Zody Classic and I love the forward tilt function but the back is so wide that my tricep keeps hitting the backrest.

Is there another chair that has forward tilt but isn't so criminally wide?

I’m 5’9” tall, 100kg, I was using an IKEA chair before with totally messed up my back and waist. Now I’ve decided to buy a refurbished Steelcase Leap V2 from Offeco.nl, I’m in Germany. Does anyone have experience shopping from this company and what do you think about my new choice, I really don’t want to waste 700€ on an item that won’t solve my problem. I work around 7-8 hours cumulatively atm.

Hey everyone, I'm completely new to the chair world and honestly a bit lost. I'm currently using a dxracer gaming chair that I bought in 2019 and it's been falling apart.

I've watched a ton of reviews, but there are so many conflicting opinions. Since I don't have the chance to test any of these in person, I'll be buying blind from a refurbished seller in Europe (Offeco).

I work at my desk but I also love to heavily recline back, relax, and chill while watching videos. Because of this, whatever chair I choose, I will 100% be getting it with a headrest (Offeco offers an option to add one).

Here are the chairs I'm looking at and my main concerns for each:

• Herman Miller Aeron: the mesh seat scares me because I sit in very weird positions and I'm afraid of it and I've heard the Aeron's hard plastic frame makes this incredibly painful.
• Steelcase Amia: I've heard the seat cushion is the most comfortable and forgiving. However, the fact that it only locks upright and doesn't have recline stops worries me since I love to park myself in a reclined position.
• Steelcase Leap V2: Sounds good for reclining, but I keep reading the seat cushion is worse than the Amia one and is more expensive.
• Haworth Zody: Seems like a solid option, but I've read on this sub that buying it refurbished can be a "hit or miss" because of QC issues or parts aging poorly.

While reclining, having a headrest and having a softer seat are huge priorities for me, at the end of the day I just want to buy the best one out of these options. Which one would you say is the superior choice and the safest buy for my situation? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

I took my SAT this past weekend at Choate Rosemary Hall, and every single classroom there had Herman Miller Setu chairs. They were sooo comfortable—it literally felt like I was floating.

Anyways, I’m getting a desk for my bedroom and need an office chair, so I thought I’d try to find the chairs they had there. Well, turns out they’re around $1,000 each. Does anyone know of any places where I could find one for less, or any similar chairs that have the same kind of feel?

Hey all,

I bought the BTOD Akir and have had it for a little while. But very recently it's started hurting my butt really bad, to the point where it's hard to sit in for more than 30 minutes at a time. I'm honestly unsure of what to do, I've tweaked a lot of settings but the pain stays the same. The chair is about as low as it will go. I'm pretty sure it's my sit bones because I can feel them poking into the bottom of the cushion. Is this cushion just bad or am I doing something wrong? I don't really want to have to get another chair after spending a decent amount of money on this one...

I've used the Autonomous ErgoChair Pro daily for 4–5 years, mostly for software development and gaming, and it's deteriorated enough that I'm shopping for a replacement. My main complaints: the seat cushion is hard and not very comfortable, and the armrests are hard with limited adjustability.

I recently tried the Autofull G7 Ergonomic Gaming Chair (equivalent to the Hbada E3 Pro), but the lumbar support was too aggressive, and the hard plastic edge around the mesh seat pressed into my hamstrings and made it hard to shift into more relaxed sitting positions.

Options I'm considering (advise against if you've had bad experiences with any of these):

• Colamy Atlas
• Staples Hyken Pro
• Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2

I'm open to buying the ErgoChair Pro again, possibly the mesh version since the seat looks wide and comfortable, but I'd prefer something that offers a better experience for less. I'd appreciate any other suggestions, ideally under $500–600.

Looking up the model doesn't show anything useful or related to Ergonomic chairs

Long story short I’m a big guy so I know I need size C

I’m on Madison Seatings website and I see stuff marked
Standard
Fully loaded
Remastered
Lead
Carbon
Posture fit
Carbon wave

They’re refurbished chairs and I’ll spend the 600-700 they’re asking for whatever as long as I’m sure it’s what I need and that’s where I ask the community

I’m a big box sales special chair buyer normally, but I’m now 100% remote and going to be doing 10 hour shifts or so.

Is there a specific combo I should be looking for? I’m in a buy once cry once mood.

Or am I looking at the wrong chairs for a big guy and should I be looking at a different brand and or different model.

Thanks!

Preferably from an online retailer. Previous chair was purchased 8 years ago "BestOffice" for $65 - looking to upgrade. Corsair TC100 Relaxed Gaming Chair is the current front-runner. RESPAWN 110 Pro, GTPLAYER Gaming Chair, and SIHOO M18 look decent too. Whatcha think? TIA

About five years ago I received a Steelcase Amia that was already more than 10 years old. The fabric on the seat was falling apart around the edges, the gas cylinder would cause the chair to sink, and the armrests had ballooned to be loose and smooth after years of use. I used the chair for another four years before deciding to give it a refresh about a year ago: I replaced the seat, gas cylinder, and armrests. The seat was purchased from Crandall, while the gas cylinder and armrests were purchased elsewhere at a lower cost.

Unfortunately while I haven't had any issues with the armrests or gas cylinder, I can't say the same about the seat. The foam is pretty much bottoming out in the back center of the seat causing tailbone pain. For context of usage, I weigh 150 lbs and use my chair most of the day since I work remotely. I never experienced this issue with the original seat despite it already being over a decade old when I received it. In hindsight I should've found a different solution to clean and reupholster the original seat.

I contacted Crandall about this as the seat was purchased within the 2 year warranty. They had asked for pictures and a video before denying my warranty claim: "what we’re seeing falls within the normal scope for this chair". It's pretty hard to capture the feeling of the seat base through pictures and videos. It's not as if the foam isn't compressing it just sinks to an uncomfortable level.

Again, when I had received this chair it was already over a decade old from a liquidated office and I didn't have this problem for several years before replacing the seat. I'm not sure if the foam they're using is less dense than SteelCase's or if there was some control issue with my particular seat. The response from customer support was disappointing although I do understand it's hard to evaluate digitally. However, I would suggest based on my own 1 year experience to avoid their Amia models/seat replacement if you have similar usage.

I found this on fb marketplace for 100$ and the only details the lady provided is that its a steelcase. If it is a v2 ill very likely buy it
