I'm looking for a new desk chair. On wheels, cushioned, maybe even with armrests. I bought one (without the armrests) at Tesco for 700 baht but I'm not sure how much longer it will last. So does anyone know of any shops on Samui where I might be able to find what I'm looking for?

check out Winner stores, there's one very close to the bophut traffic light which is probably the closest to you, it's on the ring road/mae nam side of traffic light just a few meters from the light. a bit pricy but hey you want a swivel chair on wheels, cushioned maybe even with some armrests. for just a few baht more i can get you a couple of girls in mini skirts who will stand on either side and fan you with palm fronds.

also check out the second hand shop in lamai. probably too far for you but usually some interesting stuff.

Also try Fern Furniture , they have 2 shops opposite each other in Nathon near the VIP bus station, and one in Lamai near the market. Cheers.

Last year I bought two office chairs (adjustable with armrests) from the Index office furniture shop at Maenam, left on the ring road heading towards Chaweng.

1800 Baht each, they creak and moan but still seem of much better quality than the Tesco variety - but of course nowhere near the quality of some premium executive office chairs.
