Chair / desk

[mrplow]

Ok it's not really computer hardware, but I figured this was the best place to put this.

I'm looking for a cheap but decent chair (upto £50 or so, maybe more) and also maybe a new desk... i need someplace good to get them!

[solus]

sounds silly but try officeworld! their larger stores have loads of chairs etc and most on sale or discount!

dunno if u have a costco near you but that's where I got my chair. very big, very comfy and a lot cheaper than you would pay in office world.

You could try looking for a store that sells used office furniture as well. I've only ever got a filling cabinet from one but it's worth a try. The prices should be pretty reasonable and they prob be open to a bit of barganing

Get the JERKER Desk from Ikea, full steel frame, huge table space and a shelf all for £75.

As for the chair, either wait for your dad's office to clear some out (my mums did and we got 3 good as new pneumatic ones) or go to a second hand office store. Decent chairs cost too much brand new :S

i wouldnt give ikea £75 of my money

ikea is cack :o


went to staples today, nothing much there except a reasonably nice desk for £45 and a lovely soft leather chair for £110 which I was oh so tempted by ;) other than that some ok chairs for £60ish

Hmmm, thats not what you said last time we went to IKEA :P Also, you want a nice sold table that isn't gonna bow under the weight of a fat 19" screen :) The JERKER has a square steel frame that the "desk" screws into, and its this steel frame that screws into the legs... its rock steady :love:

yeh, but... its called a jerker... :S

Thanks but I don't want to order from america... ;)

ok dash is half right, go to ikea - my desk is a ****in beats! Basically you don't want some n00b desk designed for computers because you'll never have any space to work. What Ikea do is have a whole load of tops and a whole load of legs and varous lengths of steel frame bits and you just buy what ya need. They are very good - only if ya got the space tho...

note: hopefully the picture will work out better this time :D

office world Salford Manchester! Ikea still the best for function over form like Donkey said... my desk single metal pillar with "leaf-like" extensions! very cool but wobbles! got one of those seats that "fold" your knees underneath, good for back and looks ace!

[mrplow]

u like that chair? i seen lots of them about, a mate used to have one and it was kinda funky but i dunno if it would be comfortable to use all the time... :hmm:

[solus]

well after a year still undecided! I would still go for the typical office chair next time but they do hurt your back as I am very comfy in my funky back chair! hard to say, try one! mine only cost £40!

WHY DONT YOU BREAK OUT OF THE BOX AND BE DIFFERENT, WHY DONT YOU USE A BIG CARD BOARD BOX FOR A DESK WITH A MATCHING CRATE FOR THE CHAIR, IT WOULD LOOK ESPECIALLY NICE IF YOU HAVE A MODDED CASE, PREFERABLY A CARDBOARD BOX MOD, LOL, GOTTA ACCESORIZE AND MATCH. ILL TAKE PICTURES OF MY SETUP NEXT TIME, JUST DONT GOT MY CAM, NOTHING MATCHES, BUT ITZ PRETTY COMFY AND COOL LOOKING.

[mrplow]

hehe, the funniest thing about that is my chair came in a massive L-shape box, thats actually pretty good as a chair itself :lol:


ps, hit the caps lock key, bwoy ;)

Mine came this morning timmeh... although I got the catalogue too and the office chair I have already cost double the price of the new leather one... :hmm:

[dash]

OMG, what was your budget again, Timmeh?
