computer / gaming chair for bigger guy September 19, 2015 Subscribe Anyone have recommendations for a computer / gaming chair for a bigger guy? He's about 5ft 7, 315 lbs. We had a generic slightly heavy looking office chair from Costco that just died - the thing that raised and lowered the seat gave out. We're looking for a replacement but don't want to end up with something else that dies quickly. He liked the look of this Merax chair in part because it looked like you could recline but there are only a few reviews. Amazon also had Serta and Lay-z-boy chairs that claim to be for bigger and taller people. Any reviews of these or suggestions for chairs would be helpful. We were hoping to stay below sub Herman Miller pricing. If you do have a favorite expensive chair that we might be able to find on sale or used (there's a lot of used tech office furniture available around here)that would be ok too.

Published Aug. 26th 2016This review is for an AK Racing chair which has been provided to us by AKRacingEurope Test rig for this chair: One human adult male. 6’3 (190cm), 16 Stone 5 (229 pounds, 103.8kg). There are really two things we pay for in this world. The first is pretty easy, we pay for performance. Performance is of course generally measurable. We look at a 0-60mph time a car can do, how many frames per second we can get in our favorite games from a graphics card, how many discrete channels of sound our home cinema system is capable of putting out and how much distortion is created in the sound, which schools get best grades, which fund gives the best return.
