Office, music workstation chair

[TimR]

Looking to replace our home office chair. The current one was selected by my son as a computer gamer chair. It's been heavily used and abused and needs to go.

 

I'm looking for something that I can sit and play bass on. ie removable arms or arms that can adjust well out of the way.

 

What are you using?

If you can afford one, the Herman Miller Aeron is unbeatable.

If you can't stretch to an Aeron the Ikea Markus is adequate and has removable arms.

A search for 'lift up arms' with Office Chair, Gaming Chair, musician's chair comes up with a few ideas.

Think the IKEA one isn't going to work as ideally want the arms on and off.

 

And the Herman Miller ones are what we use at work. Keeping hold of a working one is impossible. I'm considering chaining mine down. 😬

Sellotape a piece of paper to the back of the chair with the word 'Soiled' written on it and at the end of the day move it to a corner, away from a desk. People wont risk using it.

I bought this in May 23 (assuming it's still the same one they're sending out, but I pulled this from my previous orders, and it looks the same). It's been used pretty much daily, and is still solid and in great condition. I find it comfy enough to work in when I'm WFH, and it's fine for playing.
