To ask for your help - stylish office chair?

[Chipsandchesses]

I work really long hours at my desk, from home (as many of us do now)

I bought a beautiful Victorian dining table I’ve converted to a desk and need a chair to match. It has to have armrests and be supportive for long hours at the laptop but also look vintage or stylish in some way and in keeping with the table. I know this isn’t important but my horrible blue office chair is jarring me every time I see it next to my lovely old desk

I can’t find ANY nice chairs?!

Oh I saw some but they were quite expensive. How much would you be willing to spend?

I would love an attractive alternative to my standard office chair.

I've got the mustard one of these arriving on Tuesday. Sick of sitting on a dining chair, only taken a year of lockdown to get a new one!

@LouiseTrees up to around 250

I’m thinking of getting one of these

Sorry for the long link!

I am afraid I went for function over form and bought a gaming chair- which my son thinks is hilarious as I am in my 50s- it is so comfortable with head rest, neck support and lumbar support but I don’t think it would go with a Victorian desk.

What about a 'Captain's chair' - then you'll still get the swivel.

You might be able to get a leather/more padded one secondhand.

Love that yellow chair from The Range. I'd love to hear how you get on with it. I'm redoing my home office at the mo.

I got a numb bum from sitting on a wooden dining chair all afternoon today.

That one is lovely @CakeIsMyFavouriteAndBest - it’s not quite enough arm rest support for me personally I’m afraid - let me know if you love it tho!

@waltzingparrot god that’s gorgeous!!!! I know the wood would kill my back though, I’m at my desk 12 Hrs a day! Still it’s absolutely stunning!

@justanotherremainer it wouldn’t quite go with the aesthetic but it’s interesting- do they actually work?! Just doesn’t look comfy to me - have you used one before?

I’ve been wondering this too! I like the look of this one and it has great reviews, but isn’t in stock in my area

I really like that one! The description suggests the height isn’t adjustable but the image looks like it is. If you could let us know what it’s like when it arrives that would be much appreciated :)

I will update when it arrives!

Ohh love the range one!

Ikea had one for about 180.

How was the range one?!

Sorry should have tagged @CakeIsMyFavouriteAndBest !

Sorry been up all night with poorly daughter. Will post a pic soon. Love it. Its not height adjustable but would fit under a desk or table fine. I feel like I'm on big brother sitting in it!

Is it comfy and good quality?? My hubby is a bit sniffy about the range 🙄

I have written 3 posts with pictures but they seem to disappear when I submit them. The chair is very comfy, a little large but fits under a desk or dining table perfectly.
It tilts back so you can lean back comfortably.
It has a zip on the back to remove the cover. The quality is really good. Delivery was easy and it took me and my 10 year old 5 minutes to put together.
I love it.
