Hello Bargain hunters,
I have an old office chair that's on it's way to the dump (broken real bad), I am using some kitchen chair temporarily but it really kills my back after 30 min. I happen to have some gift cards of catch of the day, good old 20% off for about $200.
I have no much experience with their chairs, any experience would be more than welcomed.
If you use your seat a lot cheap chairs are false economy IME. And they may be an ergonomic problem since they cause or exacerbate back pain.
I spent a long time looking at the 'gaming chairs' but ended up grabbing a Buro Metro from a deal on here. Great chair and I'd definitely recommend going for an ergonomic chair if you're intending to use it for long periods.
I will do a bit more research, so far I am bouncing between 2 models:

https://www.catch.com.au/product/korean-office-chair-superb-…
The last one looks a bit funky, it's really hard to find any reviews …
Lol that first one is a great deal! I’m looking for an office chair as well, nice find
I did a lot of research on gaming chairs and found the Thermaltake esports range the best option for Australians. Steel frame, 180 degree recline, lockable tilt, 4D armrests and there is even a model with a fan in the seat. Managed to score two of these https://au.ttesports.com/GAMING_CHAIR/251/X_Fit/productPage.… in PROXY sale working out at $383 each. Add the last two chairs I bought with chipboard bases and it is cheaper than them and should outlast them and then some.
Edit> Just found the chair you were refering to (you should add a link) it is definately comparable to the Thermaltake and Clutch chairs. i would risk it. Its steel frame, memory foam, 180 tilt and those arms look 4D. thee base looks lower quality, but as long as it is one cast piece its good.
But can you do THIS?
Stay away from PU leather. I suggest you get a mesh chair for better longevity.
