Second Hand Office Chair in Gurgaon - Work From Home Without the Rs 30,000 Price Tag
4 min read - Gurgaon WFH Guide
A decent ergonomic office chair costs Rs 15,000-40,000 new. For something you're sitting in 6-8 hours a day, it matters. But paying full price for a The Sleep Company or Geeken chair when near-new ones are available at a third of the cost is hard to justify.
The OLX problem with chairs: sellers list "ergonomic" chairs that are basic mesh chairs with a lumbar cushion taped on. Condition photos are almost always top-down only. You never see the cylinder, the base, or the actual seat foam.
What to Actually Check on a Second Hand Ergonomic Chair
- Gas cylinder: Sit down and release the height lever. Chair should hold position and not slowly sink.
- Armrests: Should adjust smoothly. Wobbly armrests indicate heavy use.
- Seat foam: Press the centre of the seat. Should have at least 2-3 inches of resistance before bottoming out.
- Base and casters: All 5 wheels should roll freely. Cracks in the base under load are a safety issue.
- Lumbar support: Should be adjustable and actually reach your lower back at sitting height.
What Branded Chairs Cost Second Hand
- Sleep Company Ergonomic Chair: Rs 6,000 (new: Rs 11,000+)
- Geeken ergonomic: Rs 6,000-8,000 (new: Rs 18,000+)
- Generic mesh with lumbar: Rs 1,900-2,500 (not worth more than this)
