I'm looking for a gaming/office chair for myself. my current one the padding is now crocked which hurts my back/spine

- leather or leather feel (no mesh)
- full back length
- arm rest is a plus
- Good back/lumbar support
- Colours: Black grey. purple, (red and blue is acceptable as accent colours too)

I'm not American (I just live in Texas) so I don't need
- 400+ LBS support
- Extra wide seat


I'm a bit cheap though so I'm trying to look in the 150 range. But I'm really trying to look form something money efficient. so if something is extra ordinary better ill bump the budget a bit.

What are some good ones to look at ?
 
Whatever you do don't buy something sight unseen. You absolutely have to sit in the chair you buy. Of course once you've nailed down a nice comfy chair ($150 is a tough ask tbh) research the hell out of it and find the best place to purchase from.

I bought my grandson one of those ah ($200) racing/gaming chairs online. Was supposed to be oh so comfy, comfy and man it looks sweet! Yeah right, that thing is an ass and back killer. A half hour in it and you're in butt numb hell...but it looks cool, grandson loves it. Apparently 40lb little dudes don't mind 2 inches of foam on steel. Nah, go with something like a used Herman Miller if you can find a used one locally or if you have a shop that sells refurbished office gear is my best advice. Like I said, try it before you buy it. You can find affordable office chairs that are way better than any of these dime a dozen, chinesium, gaming chairs. Pics and unreliable reviews do not give an accurate description of what you'll be getting.

GL!
 
You wont be likely to get all that for $150, you will only be able to get a cheap disposable chair that breaks after a year and isnt very comfortable. I spend a lot of time in my chair so I ended up buying a better one, as I was tired of dealing with cheap chairs. This is the one I ended up buying and have been happy with it. My first one lasted me 8 years before I replaced it with another one.

It held up fine until about the 8th year, where the foam would go flat once I sat in it. With the leather flaking off it decided it was time to replace it.

Edit: But I didnt mention I put 10+ hours a day every day in this chair, and if you do way less yours will likely last a lot longer.
