roamp Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I need a comfortable swivel chair with good back support since I spend most of the day working on my computer. I've tried the stores on Chiang Moi and Office Depot at Panthip Plaza, but found nothing I really liked. I'm a pretty big guy and need something that won't collapse under me in a month or two. I've already had a bar stool and a waiting chair in a bank fall apart under me. Hey, I'm not that big. About 240 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rishi Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Don't buy from any of the Indian shops on Chiang Moi Road. I bought a very comfortable looking chair with armrest, high back, hydraulic lift, etc. for 1700 about 1 1/2 year ago. About half a year ago it went useless because they've used some weak plastic at the very important joint between the seat and the wheels. (Well, I guess I could fix it for less than 100 baht, if only I could find a properly shaped and dimensioned piece of strong plastic or metal --- but after having had my eyes open for 1/2 year, I don't believe that sort of sparepart exists).

earlofwindermere Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I bought one on Chiang Moi and it has been great for me. I'm a bigger guy and the chair has lasted over a year so far. However; my wife bought one at the same place and it fell apart within a month. We bought another one from Index and had the same problem. I think it's really luck when you buy them.

About 240 pounds. Global (1st ring road south on superhighway, turning right as you go south) has a bunch for 500 - 1,000 Baht. Maybe not strong enough for you though. Home Pro (Carrefour) has a selection, a little more expensive but more robust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamp Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks for the advice. I found one for 2990 at Winner at the Index Mall. More than I hoped to pay but it seemed well made and it was comfortable enough. I hope it doesn't collapse under me in a couple months like the last one I bought in the States at Office Max. I guess I'm hard on chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for the GF and she only weighs about 40kg when she gets out of the shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
