What does a racer/gaming chair do that a good office chair doesn't do better (apart from looking cool and costing more)?

Probably nothing. I've had this chair for 2yrs now and and only have a small problem with the q of the right arm rest bolts coming loose. I tighten it once in awhile and its fine and it's fine. The chair is ver comfortable and I like how high the back is. I have recently had spine surgery in the lower back and this chair has a lumbar pad that allows my back to sit comfortably without overstretching it. Thoe only thing I wish this chair did better is have more padding on the arm/elbow rests

VIVA OFFICE Comfort ergonomic is a good value for money. I have no issue with it since I bought it four months ago.

No...just keep looking. This chair is of very poor quality. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I got the coaster mesh fabric adjustable height chair. The color and height are both a great match.

It rocks a little. I like the chair, but it is probably not what you are looking for.

I would suggest buying a new chair. These chairs are great for interim, until you can afford a better one. Made with all the care and craftsmanship of a moose poop.

Thanks Susan for your comment. You have no idea what it takes to build a chair that will last for years. We are building only a dozen of these chairs a year. If we were selling thousands of them, the price would be lower. Recall when Ford started building cars, they were very very expensive. When they started the assembly line process the price of the Fords dropped dramatically. You can build your own chairs of course, which is what you should do, especially if you feel the price is out of your price range. You can also manufacturer cheaper chairs if you choose or free chairs for the public? But, the bottom line is you get what you pay for...

When you say casters, I am assuming you mean wheels. The chair is pretty substantial, so I would get really strong wheels. It wouldn't do much for the look of the chair. The seat is pretty high too, so be sure you measure the bottom of the vanity. I love this chair. It looks good even from the back.

My answer would be to get one of the balls that is specifically designed to be a desk chair. I think that if I had to work on the desk sitting on the ball could be very distracting. This is just my point of view.. I am not young and athletic.

I qualify. Had chair for six months now and it has done well. No problems what so every. Use about 8 hrs per day at work. J. Lowrie

I actually keep this chair at work, so you'll have to wait until Monday for your answer. I can say it is a standard task chair and has a huge rise.

I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it! It provides "active" sitting opportunities and my abdomen has become tighter as a result and my posture has improved. The padded bar you see pictured is not a backrest but more of a "grab bar" to assist in getting on/off the chair. There is not back support; no leaning back. My only complaint would be that the casters lock into place with just the slightest touch, like when my foot barely kicks one. Then I have to reach down and unlock it. Not really a big deal, but somewhat annoying. I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it!

I can't answer any of your questions specifically but I can say it seems to suffice for the 11 stylists and their customers at my salon. Some of my chairs have been in use over 3 years now. I have had one numatic issue, and sometimes the rubber ring around the base comes loose. As I see it, I am purchasing the cheapest chair I could find that would work and it has. It probably is not the stoutest, well built one but it has been working out to my satisfaction. Good luck choosing.

Yes, as for the height and the seat lasting and feeling more comfortable your best bet is to get the Comfort Products Commodore II Executive Big and Tall Chair - Black --this is also found on Amazon and if you have not already ordered the Alera please DO NOT order this one and DO ORDER for the Commodore---is much more suitable for taller people and I think is better for the money.

I got mine off of CL for $200. I didn't pull the trigger when addicted to Amazon got them. I was watching but missed them. The chair is pretty good, I just wish both of my 360 wheels hadn't broken on me.
