Vikingdirect Rotterdam Office Chair

Trilla90

Was hunting for money off coupons before i ordered one of the Berlin chairs when i found a nice discount on the Rotterdam Executive chair they are usually €180.59 (ex. vat) i got mine for €73.59 (inc. vat), i imagine they are a fair bit better than the Berlin chairs given the price difference not sure if there are many left or if i got the last one but worth a try just follow the link

Looks same as one I got few years back, cheapest crap I have ever got and not very comfortable for long term work. These should be about 20 euro only

I bought a Berlin years ago and still have it. It's a great chair and I can vouch for its quality. Additionally, it's much better than the crap you can get in Argos but I can't comment on the Rotterdam.

i think the berlin ones aren't leather faced but some faux-leather thing, whereas the rotterdams appear to be actual leather. maybe thats the price difference there as they look pretty similar.

From their site
"If you have any problems just ring us on 1890 818 130. Whatever the problem, we'll stay with it until it's resolved and you're satisfied. If your goods are damaged upon delivery, please mark 'damaged' on the driver's delivery receipt, keep the box and packing and ring us on the above number."
From what I can remember they've been very helpful with returns and refunds (that'd be a good while ago though!)

Anyone else have experience with the rotterdams or can recommend a better one? before i go and cancel, i doubt i'll be sitting in them for over 8 hours at a time anyway, i wouldnt spend over €80

I got a half dozen a few years back, exact same. No problem at all with them

Snake Plisken

actually in the market for a chair for the pc, looking on their site there's a leather Malaga Executive chair for 39.99 ex-vat or a Rio for 30 ex vat or should i go for the Berlin?

Eventually got rid of my Berlin, which does look identical to the Rotterdam. I found the headrest far too low - sticking into upper back. Seems to encourage poor posture.

Am now back to the chair I was using before I got the Berlin.

Well stuck an order in for the Rotterdam got it for around €79 including delivery, looks like same day delivery in Dublin, doesn't include Lucan, will advise if it's a decent chair or a piece of crap when I receive it and put it together. Trilla90 did you buy it or are u still looking?

Sorry that should have read that viking always have an offer of an office chair that they list at €160 + & sell €60... Quality of the chairs isn't great but you will get a little while out from it...

Anyone happen to know if these are comfortable?

Looks very similar to the Berlin which like others in this thread i too have. I use it regularily and find it comfortable.

The main difference I can tell from the details is that the back height on the Rotterdam is 700mm and 500mm on the Berlin.

But then the Rotterdam is rated for 0-3 hour usage while the Berlin is for "casual" usage...

Hey OP where'd you find the discount code?

the link above looks like the discounts invalid now though

iggy

Damn, I'm on the lookout for a new chair and the Rotterdam would have been fine.
Discount code not valid anymore so it looks like I'll get the Berlin.

Can anyone tell me is there a massive difference comfort wise between the Berlin and Rotterdam ?
