Hi guys,My turn to start one of these.Looking for a new office chair to replace my current chair.I'm 6'1 and looking for something comfortable.Lumbar support would be a plus but it's not completely necessary.Budget is around 200 dollars.I'm deciding between either these1) http://www.amazon.com/LexMod-Attainment-Office-Chair-Leatherette/dp/B00BO53F4I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395712562&sr=8-3&keywords=lexmod2) http://www.amazon.com/LexMod-Office-Chair-Black-Leatherette/dp/B004P3WFME/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1395712652&sr=1-1These two chairs have lift-able arms.3) Ikea Markus http://lifehacker.com/5941523/five-best-office-chairsHighly rated chair but the arms are fixed in place and not adjustable.Is the Ikea Markus the office chair to go for around this budget?Let me know what you know think between these 3 choices.Assuming 1 and 2 aren't relatively obscure.Feel free to recommend another chair I might like too!
I'm telling you man, get the Volmar. Love this thing!
I dunno, those first two chairs have "leatherette" seats. Leatherette is plastic. Which means your arse will sweat after a few hours in that chair. Maybe check out this one with fabric seat? http://www.amazon.com/LexMod-Office-Chair-Black-Fabric/dp/B004MTO2JA/ref=pd_sim_hg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1F3Z44PS5XKRZ0HTVPWTIt will wear out faster, but it will be cooler. Also, fabric is less stain resistant. So factor that into your decision calculus if you eat at your desk.

I do hate having a sweaty ass when I'm sitting forever.I had a fabric chair in 06ish and it was really hard to clean, even with a vacuum cleaner.

I do hate having a sweaty ass when I'm sitting forever.I had a fabric chair in 06ish and it was really hard to clean, even with a vacuum cleaner.A very cheap IKEA MOSES. This chair is over 4 times the price but way more comfortable and also since I didnt get the arm rest attachments it fits under my desk all the way finally. Also its nice not having the fake leather anymore. Also this has a bunch of adjustments you can do to all of the parts. The back can go back and forth, up and down. Also the back can lock in place or tilt, you can adjust the strength of how hard you have to lean back to tilt it. The seat can go up and down of course. Its really nice.
