Hel123 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi, I've seen a Lay-Z-Boy Office chair at Office mate by HomeWorks. Without doubt the most comfortable Office chair I've sat on. That said probably the most expensive as well, 25,000 Bhts !!! Does anyone know if these are sold anywhere else as I'm trying to make some comparisons to ensure that Office Mate isn't over priced ? I've seen plenty of office chairs ranging in price from 1000 Bht to 12000 Bht but the Lay-Z-Boy is imho far more comfortable..... Any info appreciated. Thanks, H.

JohnC Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 There is a large furniture store on Pattaya Nua by the traffic lights at the third road junction, the shop is on the left before the lights heading to Sukhumvit. They have an upper floor with a wide range of chairs I think I saw some there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickA Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I am sat in the one I ordered on Friday from OfficeMate cost just under 12000 baht and the same chair Lazy Boy Ralston is on offer from Central online for under 9000 baht http://www.officemate.co.th/Search?query=lazy+boy+chair http://www.central.co.th/search?q=Lazy+Boy&dept=&brand=&page=1 Edited March 5, 2016 by MickA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I bought a nice leather recliner from a shop in MBK (Bangkok) for 6,000 delivered. The Lay-Z-Boys in MBK are very overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheungWan Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 IMHO the best office chair you can buy is a Herman Miller Aeron and they cost way more than the prices referred to above. Cheap office chairs are mostly poorly designed, shoddily made and don't last long. It is the old story of you get what you pay for, so if you can afford a good brand then go for it. https://aeron.chanintrliving.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hel123 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi MivkA, I'd have ended up buying one from the Office mate shop at full asking price if you hadn't have pointed me in the right direction I owe you a couple of beers ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have 2 Lazy-Boy fabric recliner chairs in my condo at present... I'm a fan. 3 months ago I bought a high back full swivel office chair at Ikea BangNa for approximately 2400 Baht. Good but not great quality. They had other chairs up to about 4500 Baht. When I checked out the link to the LazyBoy office chairs at Central Online, I was seriously looking at upgrading.. Until.... A little research uncovered the fact that the Garner model is covered in PU Leather. Yes, PU, as in polyurethane (vinyl). Simulated leather. The Alston model is covered in Bonded Leather. That process uses chopped up leather pulp. Not simulated leather but not real leather. And these chairs listed for 20,000 Baht? Even at the discounted price of 9600 Baht delivered, it was a no-brainer to stick with the Ikea chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst quite firm it is much better built than the 4500B chair from HomePro that I previously had and which barely lasted 6 months before the gas strut failed and the fake leather finish started peeling. I hope the Ikea chair will last a while. But I bought a reclining leather chair and foot rest from Index for about 6000B a couple of years ago and in spite of getting daily use it looks brand new.

JESSVANPELT Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I had already ordered mine from OfficeMate and then saw the Central link ... nvm such is life When ordering online your getting a warehouse first price, once an item goes into a shop the price is always higher. And no one checked Index? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
