“You get what you pay for” is a saying that’s been around since the late 1800s, and for good reason. When you’re shopping for a desk chair that you will use for dozens of hours a week – whether for work or hobby (or both) – it’s not the time to test the validity of this aphorism. You could save a bit of dough and buy a $79.99 IKEA chair, and for the first couple of days, the savvy saver in you will trick yourself into thinking you made a great decision. But over time, you will pay for every dollar you saved tenfold with discomfort that will burden you with both short-term pain and long-term issues. You won’t earn that holiday bonus, and you’re certainly never going to beat Dark Souls. A desk chair isn’t a purchase, it’s an investment. And if you can afford it, the Game of Thrones Iron Anniversary Edition chair is a great investment that doubles as a collector’s item.
