Alternative to DXRacer gaming chairs

[Zhaine]

Are there any other alternatives to DXRacer chairs?

I'm not a fan of the racing chair look but I wanted a quality computer chair around the same pricetag and wondering if anyone could recommend something

I've never heard of the DXRacer chair before, and I can't see the point. Oh well.

Anyway, you want a proper office chair. One that's overbuilt, like a tank, and has been known to last long. So steel armrest (NOT plastic - the ones I had that my parents bought me when I lived at home all broke within two months).
Vilgot and Markus from IKEA looks surprisingly good for being IKEA.

I didn't realize there were gaming chairs. I just have a rotating office chair with no arm rests.

never had one of those.. i have been using lazyboy chairs at my computer desk for past 15 years. feels great to be able to recline and still have keyboard/mouse in easy reach.

the "gaming chairs" are nothing else than overpriced office chairs with fancy coloring

Overpriced?
As an office chair they are not very expensive.
Don't underestimate a good and costly chair.

GT Omega is a good alternative afaik.

Wait, nevermind! Didn't read the "didn't want the racing look".

I own the IKEA Markus chair.

I can tell you that i'm a big (read: big and fat, 1.93m with a weight that is ... well a lot) guy and I can only say the following:

The IKEA Markus chair is nothing short of amazing and has a 10 year warrantee on it.
If it can hold me i'm pretty sure it can hold A LOT of you.

And it's bloody comfortable as well, the back rest is actually good for a person who has a "hollow back".

I can highly recommend it.
