Don't take too much notice of the brand name, Makita, Dewalt, Bosch etc all rebrand cheap chinese accessories and Lidl have sold a very similar set.

With the amount of fakes on Amazon these days it's a much better option to go to Lidl, at least you can bring it back if it's shit.
If you need hand tools, bits, saw blades etc , you're much more likely to get a quality item at your local hardware/builders' providers than from Amazon

If your home office chair is wearing out after to much use in the last 18 months then this might make a good cheap replacement.

With the two discounts on the page (Voucher tick box 10% and Promotion 50%) this comes in at around £38

Furious Office Chair Ergonomic Swivel Chair Desk Chair with Adjustable Lumbar Support, Flip-Up Armrests and Swivel Castors - Computer Chair with Breathable Mesh Fabric Black



I've ordered one myself but don't be fooled that I know anything about the quality that can't be deduced from the listing. It will be a cheap chinese made chair and they are always a bit hit and miss as to production quality.

Wouldn't even trust that review as its a new item that hasn't any sales history anyway.

Could be OK as I've seen decent new stuff start off with a discount then slowly ramp up the price. I say new stuff as its probably a new name for something thats been sold under many other names.

To late now its been picked up by the carrier.

Chair above arrived today and its not bad at all. It would be quite a marathon putting it together without the battery drill I used. The ten 20mm long screws for the legs were fine but at least 15mm to long so with the supplied Allen key it would have taken ages. I suppose suitably armed it took less than 15 minutes to put together. Quite the standard flatpak.

Quality is good, chair is comfortable and the lumber support is useful. I'll leave a 5 star review with the caveat that its good for the offer price of around £40 but not worth the full price.

I went looking for one of these recently and thought I got a good deal in a shop in the UK at around £15 so I'm fairly confident this is a good price for a Sky box remote.

Good deal on Gigabits for your buck. This is decent quality should be fast enough for most applications, just check if buying for a specific application like a dash cam that the device will take this size of card. Should be good in most new mobile phones.

SanDisk Ultra 256GB microSDXC Memory Card + SD Adapter with A1 App Performance Up to 120 MB/s, Class 10, U1 £20.89 on Amazon for the rest of the day.
