I've gone through a number of chairs over the years... All of them have cost around the R1000/1000kr mark and ended up buckling, skewing or otherwise failing after a few months.
Most likely because I tend to put my feet up or cross my legs in them or otherwise fail to compose myself in some perfect feet-on-ground posture.
So... I finally decided to invest in a "proper" chair.
It's rock solid and has served me well so far and also comes with neck and back support cushions.
They have a new version out of it as well: http://akracingeurope.eu/product/akracing-premium-gaming-chair-carbon-black-v2/
It cost a pretty penny but it's comfortable, it's sturdy and it's built to last. I could've saved myself a lot of money if I just took the dive and bought a chair like this in the first place.
Sagely advice: Don't skimp on a good chair. Your back (and your wallet) will thank you in the long-term.

Sounds like you needed a sofa not a chair
I like having decent back-support otherwise I become uncomfortable very quickly. A sofa would take up a lot of space, look awful and not be very comfortable for very long

There's a GIF for that
Anyone know where to get this thing in SA?

AKRacing is a Polish brand... I think they only ship around Europe and possibly Russia.
There's also DXRacer, another Polish company that makes fantastic chairs, who also primarily ship only around Europe and the USA.
Buuuuuut these guys http://www.racingchairs.co.za/ seem to sell their products. Give them a call or an e-mail?

My wife says I should only contact them tomorrow when I am sober.
Only if you are not as 'fat' as Ly

That racing website (in SA) that was linked is soo bad
Their products are over-priced and I cant even find a checkout area...
Anyone know of someone else in SA who sells decently priced racing chairs?
Cause there is no way I am spending 3k on one of those
I agree the site sucks, but that's how much those chairs generally go for, if not more.

Can confirm.
Mine cost me 2,795kr (approximnately R4,400). You Saffers don't realise how good you've got it
Edit:
Okay, I decided to go with a Makro chair. I'm hoping that it will last and even if it doesn't then I can buy 2 more for the price of one of those racing type chairs.
Which chair are you going to go for?

I went with a R1500 chair. Let me see if I can find it...
This is the chair I went with in the end: http://www.makro.co.za/office-and-stationery/-kingston-executive-operators-chair-207826EA
I actually went to Makro and tried out different ones until I found the one that I liked the most.

I love how people walk by and laugh/smirk/comment on a person trying out a chair in a store, like you're being lazy or something. Go ahead, buy a chair without trying it out first. Hope its so uncomfortable you never use it! Seen that happen too many times.
