"Office" versus "gaming" chair for home office

[albert12]

I am looking to upgrade the office chair in my den (home office) at home. I am not enthralled with traditional leather chairs as they look old fashioned, out of date, and would appear to belong to a generation that I am not part of.





Rather, I am intrigued by the "gaming chairs" that I have seen advertised, in particular the one below. I am wondering folks can offer comments about whether or not this would be a good match for my home office. (I can post pictures of my home office if need be, but for privacy would prefer not to).





The colors in my home office are dark red. The desk, shelves, and cabinets of my home office are all a black cherry stained finish (very dark red). The carpet is a neutral color and the walls are also neutral (not white) walls. The doors of my office also are a dark red and similar tones. I have three monitors on my desk, all black or silver. I would say overall that my office is very strongly a traditional office and definitely not a modern office. But, I am not a fan of traditional desk chairs.





I wish the particular chair was a dark red rather than bright red. I can also choose the black version as well, but I am intrigued by the red color.

I'm not going to comment on the how the color works. But as someone who has recently been shopping for a new computer/desk chair myself, I hope this is one you can try out in person to first make sure it's comfortable for hours of sitting, that it supports your back properly, and that it has a decent range of adjustments. I'm in the process of returning a chair to a local store, that is great to sit in but has weird, uncomfortable arm rests that can't be adjusted to a comfortable position for mouse and keyboard use.

I believe that no one will give you an unambiguous answer which chair is better because it is an individual thing. You need to compare yourself first of all based on reviews, you can do this here thebestreclinersreviews.com/best-rocker-recliners/. Personally, I chose a chair for my office, my employees were satisfied.
