I’m with them on gaming chairs. I don’t like the side bolsters that make the chair look/feel like it’s a cheap imitation of a racing seat. Just give me a good, comfortable chair to game in…but hey, whatever works for you.

The back is why I think I'll like it, but I'll be sure to not go over the return time. Thanks!!
This was my thought but after sitting in many chairs looking for the best "for me" I chose the amia. It didn't help that I actually found a brand new amia on CL for 175 bucks. Not reconditioned. Still had the tags and plastic on itSteelcase Gesture
Damn…I should be so lucky…I found one Amia on craigslist…heavily used…for $200, 75 miles away.This was my thought but after sitting in many chairs looking for the best "for me" I chose the amia.

The Hyken is rated as one of the chairs that is worse than sitting in a kitchen chair...People buy a lot of the Hyken mesh chair at Staples for about $100. Supposedly you'll want to mod the headrest if you're tall.

The $35 pleather office chair I bought from Staples previously turned out to be garbage. Seat cushion went flat, and the pleather just disintegrated everywhere within the first year.
I haven't assembled mine yet, but will do so soon. There are thousands of ratings on Staples dot com, and they are generally favorable.The Hyken is rated as one of the chairs that is worse than sitting in a kitchen chair...
As I've said a couple of times in this thread, I want to get away from the kind of junk that Staples, Office Depot/Max, and even Costco sell.
I found a Steelcase leap V2 today for $120 on Craigslist. Looked like it was immaculate. I contacted the seller...it was gone within 30 minutes of her posting it.

While it's possible the Hyken isn't a great chair, it appears to be better than all those crappy $100 office chairs that you're referring to.
As attested to in this thread, if your budget is > $500, that opens up a much better world of chairs.
Congrats!Ended up ordering a Steelcase Leap V2 from BTOD. I found one a bit cheaper...and no sales tax...but it was from a company in Texas...but I prefer to do business with American companies.
Cost more than I wanted to spend...but not as much as I COULD have spent... (just under $500 for an outlet chair. not returnable, but still 12 year warranty)
I considered a Lamia…but like you say…way overpriced. Essentially, they’re taking a seat from a cheaper chair and sticking it on the Leap. SHOULD be cheaper…not more expensive.Congrats!
Back in 2023 I bought a used Steelcase Leap V2 in Very Good Condition sold as-is from BTOD for $446 with tax. I think I would rather have a "Lamia" though, which is a Steelcase Leap Frame + slightly thicker Amia Seat. The Leap seat is a bit flat IMHO but a "Lamia" is over $800 so they are way overpriced.
No…just no. I’m kind of surprised you didn’t recommend one of their retarded gaming chairs…White Cloud Office Chair
The Techni Sport White Cloud office chair is not only soft and cozy it's ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing with Gold Accents.technisportusa.com
I don't know how it feels but it looks good.
Saves you from having to keep a poodle around just to stroke that fluffy furNo…just no.
No thanks...I'd rather have a good chair AND my poodle.Saves you from having to keep a poodle around just to stroke that fluffy fur

I'm two weeks in on my Titan Evo XL Nanogen, and other than the name, it's perfect for me. I went with the Nanogen, because the seat isn't as firm as the Evo XL. The back is just what I needed, as it cleared up my back pain. It only been a couple of weeks, but so far it's the best office/pc chair I ever sat in.I’m with them on gaming chairs.

Could be…taking it out for a spin? Chair races on a mountain pass?Maybe they're testing your new chair?

I cannot but picture BoomerD sniffing the seat of the chair as soon as he unwraps it...Just hope they're not farting in it!
