Anyone got any experience with this chair:

http://jysk.co.uk/office/office-chairs/gold/office-chair-trige-faux-leather-black-1

Can get it for 92€ with a coupon they're offering. Is it good as a computer chair and worth the money?

I would probably not buy a chair I cannot test myself.

I have to go to the physical store to use the coupon so that won't be a problem. But I want other people's opinions too.

Planning to do just that. But people can always tell me if it's good value for the money or give me opinions on wear and tear through the chair's lifetime.

I bought an armchair from them back in 2011 for ~100£, and by 2012 whatever material they used on the armrests/seat were cracking and flaking off.

When that happened I went on the norwegian craigslist and found someone who gave away a real leather armchair for free. Gave it a good wash, and it still looks and works great as a computer chair.

In short, I'd recommend checking all other options before buying at Jysk Razz

Jysk is the old Ikea. While Ikea evolved and makes some great furniture now, Jysk filled the "crap furniture" gap. Don't buy Jysk.

Looks exactly like my old chair and it completly fell apart. I think I used it for like 2 years. The seat was not fun to sit on after some time because the padding(?!) was wasted so fast. It felt like sitting on a wooden bench. Also during summer it was a sweaty mess.

This is almost exactly a chair I had...

and I will never get a faux leather chair again. Especially not from jysk.

It's cool at first but faux leather gets very warm and sweaty. And build quality and used materials are shitty in jysk chairs.

I switched to Ikea Markus (fabric version) and its much better, have more adjustments and I don't sweat at all now.
