    Hi all
    Am looking for some advice on a decent gaming chair.My 99 euro pc world chair is starting to get wobbly and its time for a change, its lasted 6 years at this stage.

    Im 6ft tall so need something sturdy enough.

    I had a dig around here for similar threads but couldnt find anything recent.
    Are the go to chairs still the noblechair epic and the vertigear offerings?

    Budget is 200-300stg max, based on the fact it should last a good , I dont want to spend over this.

    Any suggestions from owners who have had their chairs for a while would be greatly received.
    Thanks in advance.

    Both myself and the missus have Noblechairs Epic. Amazing seats. They weigh about 30kg themselves so they're more than sturdy enough. Incredibly comfy and really good quality.

    I actually have a DX Racer F-Series chair I'm not using any more, if it's of any interest to you. This one, I think.

    Have a noble chair and they’re excellent kit. Have mine over a year and it still looks brand new.

    I'd second this.

    I've recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, in short, its pain of the muscles its pretty appalling but my noble epic is the most comfortable chair in our house.

    I've planned to purchase a Noble Icon chair this week from Overclockers UK. The chair is actually on their weekly offers this week for 30 pounds less. At least this saving covers the shipping costs. Top class chair by all accounts for about a euro a day. Surely my back is worth that.

    I have one of these as well and they're pretty fantastic. Prior to this I only ever had sort of cheapo chairs and the difference is huge.

    Looking at some of the chairs on overclockers, gas thing is that they appear to be too heavy to deliver to Ireland.
    Addresspal don't do deliveries over 20kg, must ask ocuk about the box size to see if PM will do it and not cost me a fortune.

    Why do you say that? I've gotten deliveries off OCUK well over 20kg before?

    Oddly worked without an issue this morning, I must have missed something I was supposed to click last night.
    Thanks all.

    Went with the noblechair icon in the end.

    Sorry to hijack this thread but if the op is not interested, if your selling it wanna put it up on Adverts as I may be interested?

    If you can afford it, an Aeron is the business :) Had them in work in my last job, the comfort is great and even for a fat man like me, it was solid. There's even an Irish second hand/refurb seller that you might get a bargain from: https://usedaeronireland.ie/

    As someone currently sitting on an Aeron, I have to agree.
    There's a reason I'm selling my DX Racer that I don't use any more. ;)
