Anyone bought a (decent) office chair from Lazada?

Yeah, Herman Miller is the king of Office Chairs and more in Thailand. 🙂 Love them too.

Right now I am sitting in a Canasta Executive from Mood&Tone. Not same good, so I think I will go back to HM.

But, you are right. A good chair that actually takes care of you on a daily basis is never cheap. 😉
 

 

I was looking at Mood & Tone for some furniture...how is the build quality?

 

About a year ago I had a sideboard custom made from one of these places that claims to be a furniture factory and the wood literally split within a week of it being in my home.  They agreed to repair it but returned it in basically the same state.  Its been a year and it's continued to develop cracks so just curious if I can trust MT?

  • I bought one from Lazada last year, about 2,500 Baht and it looked very comfortable in the photos. It arrived from China and turned out to be a complete piece of excrement. Very cheaply made, plastic

    OfficeMate by Big C South has a very good selection.  You can try them out of course.

Mood&Tone has it all. Lower price, not so good. High price, ok, but not superior.

Contemplated putting on some clothes?

 

Too cheap to even put on the AC.......a stand fan usually helps.

Frankly, the vast majority of stuff flogged on Lazada is absolute rubbish.

 

Office chairs, a desk, electric fans, thumb drives are just a few of the examples of stuff I have foolishly bought from them in the last few months, which have either fallen apart or just don't work. In particular thumb drives which will only hold a fraction of their advertised capacity!

 

The trouble is, I am a cripple, fairly immobile, live a fair way out of town and can no longer drive a car (bizarrely they took my car license away for medical reasons but let me keep my motorcycle license!); that together with being a bit of a "Pollyanna" when it comes to online shopping, which doesn't help!

I have been looking to buy an induction cooking hob. I had one from Sinthanee, it stopped working after 18 days, but they said the warranty was only for 7 days, which frankly is about as much use as a chocolate teapot!

 

So I have been looking on Lazada - some well known brands ( or are they?) like "Siemens", "Shapr" " Panasonicr" and "Tafel". Lots of spelling mistakes! They are remarkably cheap, less than B500, and unlike Sinthanee they won't laugh if you bring them back!

 

Incidentally Sinthanee really hide their customer service contacts well! Impossible to find an address to make a complaint to. They have a contact form on their website but don't respond to it!

Those fake names on Lazada are to fool the gullible into thinking they are buying the real thing. Heaps of phones with names like Sansung etc. You might find that a lot of the cheap electrical goods only give a 7 day warranty as well.

This looks wonderful in theory, but what can you expect for approximately 50 USD?   If you want a nice chair, you need to pay a nice price. 

 

The one I am sat on cost 1200 Baht in a Japanese? themed thrift store. But I don't sit on it for 8 hours a day.

 

Sit on lots of chairs and pick one you like.
