Hi Everyone, I've been thinking to get a chair for around 15ish. I saw some good and bad reviews of every chair available out in the market. I'm pretty confused which to go for? Like, Featherlite Liberate/Astro/Versa/Opus, Greensoul 10k ones, etc. I also saw this that some featherlite one's don't have lumbar support or they say dynamic lumbar support. Does this make a huge difference in good posture, backpains, etc?

if you have a featherlite showroom, go and visit and try out the chairs. Good lumbar support is a must for me, because of my disc compression problem.

@modern-table-48211, Which one do you use? Store is a bit far from here. Though that's my last resort as it'll take my whole day.

I used to use Featherlite Optima when I was in India. I think its no longer available and you can look at Liberate.

It's this one? https://www.amazon.in/Featherlite-Optima-OC-1-Office-Chair/dp/B08PND7QDF

Yep that's one

I liked the build quality from transteel as well. Had bought this https://wfh.transteel.com/product/fluid-basics-mesh-high-back-chair-with-1d-adjustable-arms/ last year and still like it.

I can vouch for Featherlite quality. I have chairs around since 2009/10 which are still going strong - with the occasional replacement of castors. I agree with Sathyajit that going and trying out a chair is quite important and if possible, make that pilgrimage because this chair you will use 8h daily for the next 5-6 years at least. (Unless a friend nearby has a chair you like and you have used it - then you can blindly buy it online). When I bought my current chair, my heart was set on another chair. But when I visited the store, I ended up liking this better and I am glad I did because I'd have been disappointed with my original choice.

I'll see if I can push for Optima. Which one do you use @loud-glass-33663? But trying to grab information as much as I can but will buy after the pilgrimage only 😅

would highly recommend to not buy chairs from amazon.

Hey @dry-stone-10331, I am using an Embody chair. The one I went to buy was the Aeron Task Chair.

More than a months salary 🥶 I'll buy Optima I guess but after trying. Thanks a lot for helping by everyone.

Hi @dry-stone-10331 If you are still stuck, checkout this old thread. 😅 https://remoteindian.slack.com/archives/CFKUPJZ7W/p1572543799172200?thread_ts=1569997357.134800&cid=CFKUPJZ7W

Thanks for sharing @creamy-dawn-73235 I've already bought optima and it'll get delivered today itself. Hope it suits me xD
