Cheap Office Chairs vs. Expensive Office Chairs
Cheap Office Chairs vs. Expensive Office Chairs
What’s the difference between a cheap office chair and an expensive one? In this video, we break down everything you need to know before deciding whether to save or splurge.
14,000 hours. If you have a full-time desk job, that’s the minimum amount of time you’ll spend sitting over the next 10 years. Add the nights you have to work late, the weekends you’re called into the office, and those unfortunate occasions you end up scarfing down lunch in front of your computer and the hour count only goes up from there.
We now know that any sustained ass-in-chair time can be detrimental to your health, but a bad chair only adds to the problem by putting you in positions that add to long-term risk. If you have a home office, finding a chair that makes your desk time more comfortable and better for your health is a worthwhile endeavor.

If it’s $200 and below don’t bother with it. It’ll break within a year and they don’t have any warranties. Meaning you’ll be dumping $100 on a chair yearly that won’t even be that comfortable.
Any good midrange chairs (like 300-400)
And also save money by not having to go to a chiropractor.
People saying 200 is expensive like u won’t get get ur moneys worth out of it

Did I just hear "cheap" and $200 dollar" in the same sentence??????
More expensive chairs are not always the best. I purchased a chair for about $170 from Office Max for my home office. The most comfortable chair I’ve had in years. My expensive "ergonomic" chair, provided by my employer, lacked in seat cushioning and the lumbar support was quite rigid. I found myself having to stand every 2 hours because my tailbone ached. When buying a chair comfort and quality are always first priority. The lack of moving parts also allows less opportunity for mechanisms to break. Expense and quality are not always synonymous with one another. Just look for a sturdy build and plenty of comfort.
He says "Ultimately you want something that makes you feel comfortable and supportive… regardless of the price" tf, regardless of the price? First thing i look at is price, then ill worry about comfort and support. Not spending $500-$1000 on a chair. I think 180 is a lot for a chair
It’s real difficult chair shopping online if you’re looking for 200 – 400 range since so many fake reviews out there. Beware of those that start off with "OMG this is the best thing I ever used in my life" 99.999% fake.
I needed a good chair, wound up spending $200 because I didn’t want to spend more. Now I have a chair I absolutely hate and cannot use. It’s sitting behind me, my cat is on it. I should have trusted my gut feeling on this and bought the chair I wanted to begin with.
40 bucks chair get me no pain in anywhere and I received high end achievement from my life.
200 dollar for a fucking chair is cheap? fuck off dumbass.
Bruhh how you not gonna name the chairs you used?
Oh man, the blue chair looks super comfortable! I wish you named the chairs you used so I could buy it 🙁
dont you love fidning a chair that is nice. and it breaks really fast.. i stil dont know what to look for in a chair
Hello @Wirecutter, I’m having trouble deciding if i should buy a Steelcase Gesture with or without a headrest. I’ve never really rested my head on any office chair I’ve sat in before and frankly, i find the variant without the headrest (like the on in your video) much sleeker and cooler looking. However, it *might* end up being more comfortable… Any thoughts?
200$ is not cheap

So which one explode better?
CHEAP chair 200$ 😮
If you guys think $200 is expensive then you haven’t really researched any ergonomic office chairs. I understand that without context $200 is a lot of money, but most good quality chairs are well North of $200. Having said that, most people DO NOT need to spend that much. But if you have issues with your back, legs, etc. it’s highly recommended to splurge a little. It’s an investment in yourself…much like a great bed. You’ll be spending 8 hrs a day in this thing….don’t be cheap or it’ll show up in your productivity and health.
I was gonna get a 200 dollar one because I thought thatd be like a good mid range then they call it budget….
chairs… who needs chairs when you can have this? levus.co
*It’s very comfortable▪▪▪>**allmy.tips/FurmaxChair?てS ** the perfect height for my desk, and much better than sitting at my hard dinner table chair! I can sit for hours without any back pain*
i think that blue chair is a steelcase and the grey is a areon incase any1 wondering. thanks btw
What do you guys think of the Sidiz T50?
Do you know some good chair for under a hundred bucks? I don need all this ajustments. I just need a chair to stay in the same position, I have only one position which is comfortable, just seat straight.
Reaching down to twist that knob everytime you want to adjust suuuucks
I wouldn’t play around with quality
hum, i’m literally sitting in a free chair from a junkyard, clean it and soon will turn it into a much more confortable chair with a car seat i used to drive alot,
in my honest opinion, just find the chair that is COMFY for you cause why would you need all those options if already you get what you wanted
Shouldn’t a computer chair have a head rest, so you can lean your head against it? I feel like my neck hurts after a couple of hours of PC usage…
200 is cheap 👀 man I’m so poor
The thing that gets me, is that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY that a hunk of metal and fabric that you put your ass on should be worth 1000 dollars. Its a chair. There is no reason any stupid metal/plastic office chair should be over 200 dollars. Maybe if its a delicate finely crafted wooden artwork that took time, sweat, and the death of trees to build, but these office chair factories literally pump out hundreds of chairs an hour and charge thousands percent markup. Truly the scum of capitalism, up there with bankers and college textbook publishers.
Chair prices have shot up due to BS factor. $200 is not cheap. 1,000+ is for either people with severe disabilities or money to burn.
I use a cheap 7" high and 3 feet wide wooden leg rest with my cheap chair. It does wonders to improve my level of comfort.
I have expensive chair. 400 bucks. Better build quality? Yes a little. However cushion got hard after a year and now is like sitting on plank. Back material started ripping off (mesh) after 5 years), so overall it was not worth it. 6th year and it is going to trash. I will buy Ikea now and just get over with it.
1:26 wtf that chinese is so small
who knows the names of the chairs shown on the video?
Watching sitting on a 8 dollar ikea chair with 4 dollar cushion..
What was the blue chair?
Who is looking for a chair becasue if the covid-19?
I feel poor when every video says that a $200 chair is cheap. I consider $100 or less a budget anything over is more expensive.
honestly i just need a chair that is comfortable to use while playing video games on a 55 inch tv.
