Gaming Chair
4 years ago
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good gaming or high-backed office chair that is NOT bonded leather?
The big problem I have with gaming chairs is that bonded leather tends to break down and start to peel within 6-12 months. And further complicating finding a replacement is that many now advertise themselves as "PU Leather" which is really just bonded leather rather than actual "PU" polyurethane.
I also prefer arm rests that attach to the back, if possible. My current chair has adjustable ones that swing upward, allowing me to rest my elbow when leaning back and to push the chair further under the desk when not in use - which is quite nice since space is limited. Most gaming chairs only mount them to the seat itself.
But if anyone can point me at something good that at least isn't bonded leather, I'd appreciate it. I've gone through three of these chairs in less than six years because they keep disintegrating.

adding to this: they have a 12-year warranty and genuinely might be the last office chair you ever buy. i have been sitting in mine 16 hours a day since the pandemic forced me to upgrade and it feels like I never was sitting in the first place at the end of my day.
