Gaming chairs are overrated. Office chairs are as good or better for the majority of people.

I do not exactly see why gaming chair would have to be a clean slate design. Maybe some visual ROG clues but mechanically IKEA does have some pretty good chairs. I am happily sitting in an IKEA chair right now, this one (cost 149€ around here and 129€ for textile version):

A streamer I used to watch just had to switch to an ergonomic Hermanmiller because gaming chairs literally killed his back to the point he was unable to sleep. Now a whole lot of money went to the new chair and another pile will go to masseur, chiropractor and physiotherapy to reverse about 4-6 years of damage made by various sponsored gaming chairs...

"IKEA stellar quality"

I guess that was ironic right ?

Ikea used to be much better. Chances are that some good Ikea furniture from the 80s and earlier are still solid today. But more recent laminated crap, not so much.

And fills up landfills quickly ;)
While you can find some good deals there if you look carefully, far too much of it will wear out too quickly.

Proper office chairs is certainly the way to go. But even the Ikea "office chairs" are really low quality compared to real office chairs. Such Ikea chairs will not last long with heavy use (10h+ per day). I've seen far too many of these break.

People who want "cheap" office equipment should not go to Ikea, they should go to someone selling second-hand office equipment.

-----

My plan these days is to find some quality desk underframes, and then find some B/C quality countertop of solid hardwood, give them a couple of coats of lacquer, resulting in some nice durable desks. Even Ikea used to have some very affordable solid oak countertops.

The yen and yuan sign, ¥, is a currency sign used for the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan currencies when writing in Latin scripts. This monetary symbol resembles a Latin letter Y with a single or double horizontal stroke.

You learn something new every day. Its utterly idiotic to have a same sign for two different currencies but that life.

the 3rd pic looks good, at least not with 4 legs it would be better than 2 legs
but i'm pretty fine with office table where you can sit on it without worrying about collapse

It doesn't look bad if price right. It definitely looks like Ikea with a touch of something...
