Any prefer a solid 1 piece chair than to a chair with many moving parts?(ie office or gaming chair)

[Naer]

Got this solid heavy duty plastic chair. Doesn't move around, stays put. Could probably hold an elephant unlike wooden chairs, I prefer this to my gaming ergonomically chair

Only down side is I can't recline

If you got one of those typical gaming chairs that are all made in a single factory and are just rebadged by everyone, it's no surprise that you would prefer this (because those gaming chairs are almost all crap).

I don't need many moving parts, but I do want it to recline and have height adjustment (unless it happens to be the right height, which isn't common)
The chair pictured there doesn't seem appealing to me.

Some gaming chairs are "okay".... most however do suck.

My guess is however that all but the absolute worst Chinese knock-off's are far more comfortable than that orange plastic thing.

Whoops-a-daisy!

I'm running to Stop & Shop to pick up a big "bone-in" pork shoulder roast. (@ $1.99 per lb!)

Gonna whip up a batch of 12-hour/slow-cooker spicy-sweet mustard/Dr Pepper BBQ pulled pork tomorrow!

While I'd love to claim the latter as it could certainly use a bit lol....

That chair looks like it would not work for holding pork shoulders as they would fall through the gaping chasm of where a back rest would be.

Doesnt look comfortable at all, though i have certainly seen worse!

I'm guessing that melting could prove to be an issue even on "low & slow"!

If it's a bulk pork shoulder, it could be large enough to not slip through. Bulk pork is larger than bulk beef, everyone knows this.

I did the mistake of buying a gaming chair thinking it would be good, then found out that they are just made to LOOK good but are crap. I sold it to some poor sucker on FB who probably thought it was good too. My main issue with it was that it was just too wide. I think it was meant for a REAL gamer, like a 250 lb person that lives in their mother's basement and kicks all the noobs asses on WoW all day.

Finding a good quality office chair for home is tricky though. Most of the stuff Staples and Walmart sells is of meh quality. I have a Staples mesh chair that I bought online through their site and comfort wise it's good so far, but the arm rests are already starting to crack after only a few years, which sucks since I actually paid a decent amount of money for it.

If you go with something like a Secret Lab (or one of a few other brands) gaming chair it will be pretty comfortable but if you get one of the literally 1000's of rock-hard misshapen "clones" and pay more than about $100 for it you won't be happy at all!

Secret Labs Titan (Fabric) (Amazon @ $559 ~ US)

no way, a GOOD office chair is way better.

Depends on the specific chair .... there's plenty of uncomfortable "office" chairs that are uber-expensive and there are also a number of very comfortable "gaming" chairs like the Secret Labs Titan I mentioned.

Of course the size of the chair USERS rear-end can also be a factor... the larger folks among us simply won't fit comfortably in any gaming chair!

 

[MrSquished]

one piece chairs can be ok for some patio and outdoor furniture. Otherwise, they need more parts. Except for a few like super artsy indoor chairs that are quite big, and too expensive, some of those can be pretty comfy.

but that's my point.
all i had to do was, one time sit in my manager's RH Logic 400 ergo office chair and i was struck by lightning - better than anything i had imagined could exist. They are ridiculously expensive - like a thousand bucks for a chair, but you can buy them refurb - but they are designed for people who have physical problems, either being too chonky, or scoliosis, back / bone problems .. and they are super comfy, super supportive, built like a tank.

He likes to sit on a pile of pulled pork. Who are we to judge.

I got myself a used Herman Miller Aeron back in 2018 and its been pretty much perfect. Crazy how expensive they are new, but, i can understand why they are so expensive as they really are well made and comfortable.

Well, I suppose that's fine and all, so long as he's not pulling his pork on his pulled pork throne. That wouldn't be kosher, I'm pretty sure.

Every chair is a recliner if you're willing to accept the occasional head injury.

 

[Brainonska511]

Can you please suggest some good gaming chairs?

I just sprung for a nice office chair from Steelcase (a Leap). A little pricey, but better than buying some garbage chair every few years (garbage because they fall apart and garbage because they are uncomfortable).

 

[MrSquished]

The only issue with one piece chairs is having a big enough window to throw it out of at some point.
