LOL glad I aren't the only one.  I got a chair from these guys http://www.rallyofficechairs.com/.

Yes it is a bit sad but I don't care, I find it pretty good for my back and posture.   :grin: :grin:

^^^^
The Recaro's are great, especially the Office Sport range, but far too much money imo.

I'm still loving mine....And am sat comfortably in it now of course!

Its castors look like mini RS4 alloys!

Any sign of white worm - or are they holding it off?  And what tyres - PS2s or F1s?  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:



Truely bonkers - but utterly great, love it Red! :happy2: :happy2: :laugh: :laugh:

.... :signLOL: Very good indeed, mate! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

F1's of course! No sign of white worm as it's always indoors. I'm trying to work out a way of fitting DRL's but no joy so far :evilgrin: :wink:

These many months later I still think it's a great chair (Gawd, I spend enough time in it!).

I was thinking of a decent 'executive' chair to use at home. £330 is within budget.

How does the lumbar support adjust? Is it electronic like in the GTI?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....No electrics. A 'resistance' knob adjuster on the side. Like most things, it's best to go and see one and try it out. It's a big chair, not all-singing-dancing but very comfortable indeed. I've gone to sleep in mine before now.

Sounds very comfortable. Does it also ensure a good posture? And can you slouch when you want to?

....What's posture? - Just joking - It's a big chair (hence great for slouching) and so the front to back size of the seat is relatively long and so possibly not the greatest for posture if it's critical for you. I'm slightly confused here because aren't good posture and slouching totally contradictory?

I don't want to be responsible for you spending whatever this chair now costs just based on my review. It's not the ultimate for lumbar/posture adjustability but it's not as expensive as those that are good at that. The bottom line is though that it's very comfortable and the pigskin leather is wearing extremely well.

It's kinda contradictory. I want a chair that encourages a good posture to avoid developing back problems in old age yet comfortable enough to slouch in if I wanted to. I've come across a few such chairs previously but never really bothered to find out the make/model at the time.
