advice on a gamer chair

[mikey22]

hey all

smash is coming out and i know im not going to leave the house for a wihle when its released

im 5'10 athletic build, but i have no idea about gaming chairs. i dont really need the speaker enchancements, just something that is on the ground, rockable, and comfortable with a headrest. i saw a few cheap ones for $15, but they said people 5"10 its very uncomfortable.


any advice please share links! i am excited for the game to come out and plan on getting the bundle pack and a mario and fox amibo for starters!

thanks for the advice I will definitely look into this one! i just kept reading reviews and people say they dont fit int them. I dont mind spending an extra $50 or so for comfort... you get what you pay for usually!

i def like to rock as well so i'm looking to go your route

This is the one I've got, it's been amazing for me so far. I've had it for about three months. It leans back pretty far and is extremely comfortable.

Isn't that just a normal office chair?

Wow, I had no idea those office chairs cost that. I had a bunch of 'em, I used to get them for free when I did office moves. When a big place got downsized, you'd be amazed how much perfectly good office furniture they either scrapped or threw away. I'm sure they donated some of it but I used to have to bring hundreds of filing cabinets and those specific chairs to a scrap yard and watch 'em get ripped to hell with a claw. Knowing they cost like 200 bucks each or more, I'm kind of angry now.

I think I still have a couple in a storage locker. They're neat. I'm sure they're not as comfy as a dedicated gaming chair, but they always suited me fine. And they were free besides.

When I worked with the Rutgers crew they were sensible enough to re-sell all that stuff that wasn't damaged. I think they'd charge $50 for a brand-new one like that. Maybe $75, I forget. Crew always kept the best stuff, obviously. That's one perk of that job I do miss.

^Not a fan of anecdotes. Duly noted.

[Peanut]

You kind of have the longest and most meandering anecdotes of anyone on the forum and unlike the rest of us you pretty much post everywhere. I swear to God I spend more time trying to scroll past your 15 paragraph posts on my phone than I do reading what anyone else has written.

Yes. Not a video game chair per se, but that's what I use it for primarily.
