@karenburton1305 that chair looks lovely and very well priced. I wish i had seen this prior, however i went for something from the oddball Ikea instead as lots of other users had mentioned previously. It wasn't somewhere i'd thought about initially but a family friend in a similar position recommended it also, which was the tipping point for me. I toyed between the JÄRVFJÄLLET - RRP £190 and Markus - RRP £179, but honestly, I couldn't tell much - if any, difference between the two.

The £190 one has a more "tapered" back - adjustable height headrest,lumbar support and seat depth

The £179 one doesn't

The arm rest design is also quite different

The £190 one just needs adjustable arm rests and it could very easily compete and be comparable with more expensive chairs

A shame you were misinformed on SecretLabs because they start at £299 and go up to £449. I bought one back in March 2020 and my back is very grateful 🙏

Still hoping I can claim the tax back in my tax return but not banking on it 😕

That would be the dream, but definitely wouldn't bank on that either aha! 

Maybe once this one eventually dies out I can look into a Secret Labs chair. I guess I will have some time so save up! £299 was just out of my price range still though

Hmm, maybe for the extra few squids I should have taken the plunge. Either way, no point fretting about it now, the Markus is still great and much better than what I was on before :P two weeks in and my back feels cured!
