View Full Version : Leather Chair - Bargain
http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/(cmf1uarx4xxkwb551t1mld45)/catalogSku.aspx?ID=MATRIX&PR=Y29
This Chair should be £100 so £30 is a bargain!
Once added to your basket also add product Y29-PRDESIGNTV which is the free black and white mini TV/Radio.
Its free for orders over £30 so to be doubly sure ordered something else for £1 or more to get your order over £30 ex vat.
Also if placed before 12.00 - you will get same day delivery

Thank You, gone for this too.
The £29.99 price is without VAT. The total cost including VAT is £35.23.
I bought this chair a while ago, and it is very good for a budget chair. While I am not the largest of people ( 6ft and 14.5 stone) the chair does seem a bit snug, and a bit more seat padding would have been nice. Thats for the chair seat btw!
I have resisted the chair thus far, but no longer. Damn you bargain forum, the credit card will never recover from your evil powers.
I mean, um, thanks!
just gone for this cheers hoogie
brilliant spot !
Just ordered !
Gone for it! Thanks for the heads up - been meaning to treat myself to one of these for ages!

Cheers hoogie! My Ikea chair has seen better days (like before it needed welding back together again!) and as it wasn't designed for desk use I'll probably do my posture the world of good have a proper chair (just trying to validate to myself the reason fo spending yet money because of hese forums!). What to do with a portable B&W TV I don't know, but I'll figure out a use!

Once added to your basket also add product Y29-PRDESIGNTV which is the free black and white mini TV/Radio...
:brickwall
:D :D :D
That £29.99 chair will be mine this time! muwahahahaha.
Also the nice "Phillips Onis 300 VOX Twin" digital cordless phones come with a free "Phillips Boom Box" for £114.99 (QCH-TU5352)
Adding order code Q2N-PRBULB to any order gets you a free box of plant bulbs too! lol. Ideal for a gift, for the old dears... :-)
Just checked through all the old freebie codes posted a few months back. The only one which still works (if you are ordeing the above Leather Chair) is the naff "deluxe" document case...
Y29-PR11477
if you're ordering the chair you could also bag 3 storage jars if you add on a bag of 440 Tetley tea-bags priced at £8.99, you know you'll drink them in the end!
Use the code QHH-TET440 which was in the exclusive readers email recently.
Let this thread RIP, every time this pops up i get soo tempted to order....
i must resist... allready got a tatty leather chair, no space for another...!!!!
HELP ME!
Resists the force once again!
i would have deffo ordered it if you get the TV, Biscuits, Document Bag, and somethng else! :)
well my chair isnt tatty and the tv is quite good
happy days
yea allready nabbed a tv on my last order of a4 label sheets!
Just ordered the Chair and "free" portable Tv and Radio. Thanks
Damn...I resisted this chair for so long, but have just succumbed to its temptation... :clap:

Cheers!:thumbs:
just gone for the deal - cheers
Gone for one of these, any idea what courier they use so I know who to expect tomorrow/where I have to drive to?
ta! :clap:
i ordered 2 of these few days ago at 7pm, arrives 9am next morning
dont know the courier since bro took delivery for me
i must admit, you get what you pay for.. the padding of the chair could have been alot better..
im moaning becuase i hav a £80 PC WORLD chair here aswell and thats much better quality but for 30 quid a shot.. its well worth the money!
Cheer's Hoogie.
I got one.The one i have now i love but it's getting tatty on the edges.The wife wants rid of it.
I hope this new one is as comfortable as my old one.
It does tilt right back i hope. :)

Free TV/Radio:- http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalogFamily.aspx?id=75603260&PR=Y29
Do the chairs arrive flat packed in a box or assembled?
flat packed, it'd be kinda hard for them to deliver it fully assembled :)
Cheers, silly question I know, but you can never pre-empt these things! I already have a good chair but will need another eventually. If it can just be stored away easily, I'm gonna consider it.
Nice - finally gone for one of these offers. Added a pack of batteries to qualify....

I ordered 12 of the 'Flexigrip' pens. I seem to go through about 4 of them a week anyway, so at 59p each they are a bargain in their own right.
When I ordered my chair (and free TV) i got to the check out only to be told the TV was discountinued and was being removed from my basket!! :(
When was that budda.
I ordered mine this morning and all went well.

jonozz - what was the total cost of your order then?
The £29.99 link still works but to get the TV you need to spend a few more quid.... (£29.99 is inc VAT is it not?)
Gone for one of these and a tv, good timing as i was on the look our for a chair :thumbs:

Ordered Friday night. Delivery just arrived and TV/Radio was in the package, along with some Tetley tea bags - time for a brew!:clap:
ordered chair and free t.v. and some pens .
received today thanks alot for this have been sitting on this broken wooden thing for weeks, ahh finally some comfort.
Woope. Got the chair this morning with free radio/tv. Only took 10 minutes to put it together and for 36 quid, it's a good un!
My order on Friday got lost in the ether.......luckily the chair's still available & no probs adding the free tv. So let's hope all is OK this time......!!
I'm told they don't do the same day delivery on first order...BUM! I've got the day off work today & was hoping I'd be here to receive it!
Ah well.....still a bargain, though!
Cheers again

Mine came today too (along with free tv) :)

how big/heavy is chair when still in packaging?
I might get the chair delivered to work but don't want to **** off the mailroom guys if its a massive box!
its not all that big
one person can carry it. The tv comes in a smaller box.
Our mailroom guy was ok with it, and hes about 200 years old! and we had about 30 delivered

I'm not sure what I think of the chair (haven't made my mind up yet) but thanks to the B&W TV and a spare videosender I can now continue to watch satellite, DVD or videos when in the kitchen whilst cooking! ;)
TV is crap if you use the built-in tuner as is the AM/FM radio. The tuning dial seems to have no correlation with the numbers or actual frequencies of TV and radio stations. Some stations have an 'echo' where they appear two or three times where on any other radio or TV they'll just appear once where they're meant to be.
Despite that, it's great if you're feeding it via the AV inputs and it and the leather chair (and a magazine rack) cost £35 delivered so can't complain!
Now all I need is TV in the bathroom.

03-11-2003, 19:37
I want to get one of these chairs as everyone says it so great, but I am not so sure it is a bargain or not as it's been this price as long as I can remember ! How can it be a bargain if it is the normal price?
johnrevill
03-11-2003, 20:13
Damn these forums! I've just ordered the chair, the free TV and a bic biro.
Total cost (inc VAT) £36.75
When I check my order history though the TV description is replaced with the following:
"SORRY, This product has now been discontinued."
I don't care if I get the TV anyway but its worth pointing out nonetheless.
Cheers to the original poster!

03-11-2003, 20:40

Didnt need to put anything else on the order to make it free p&p
First time ordering, placed last night and arrived around 12
Not bad quality for 30 smackers

Got mine today. Built it this evening. Sitting on it now.
magicrat: courier was omega (I think).
Tv is pile of poo using built in ariel, not tried it any other way yet.
Chair is ok, comfortable enough for me though maybe lacking a little padding for some.
Adjustable vertically and can lock the chair upright or allow tilt. Tilt resistance can be adjusted but not possible to lock position of the tilt.
Pretty straightforward to put it together.
For 30 odd quid (and VAT) no complaints really. I don't know anything about the price of chairs but the it seems reasonable value for money. Probably worth getting if you are looking for a chair but maybe not if you've already got a fully functioning one.
Once again thanks to OP.

I've managed to resist this chair..until tonite. My wheel fell off my current ikea effort.
How long does it take to get an order confirmation thru? I've had an email saying an account has been setup.. Im not sure if the order has even gone thru, cos I used my solo card and put it thru as switch. Hmm...

04-11-2003, 08:20
that Viking Direct have different depot's around the country and whether you get the tv or not depends on whether your depot has any left?
Just a thought as I ordered one Mon night and the tv shows up fine on the order - doesnt say discontinued or anything.
And i know that there is a Viking Direct depot in Chadderton, about 15 mins away from me in Oldham.

can I really have all 3 of the free gifts provided I push it over £30? Albeit the document bag and bulbs are crap but hey - theyre free!
or are you limited to a single freebie per order?
The bulb box and the document bag need a higher spend before you can check out with them. But the TV can be free with just the chair.
It really is a lovely chair, too. Many thanks for the timely spot.
ahh yes, fair enough (both cack anyway!) one chair, tv thingy and packet of BICs ordered :)
Got my TV and chair this morning.
Not too bothered with the chair but I love the TV :nuts:
It's got AV inputs and aerial extension (if you like) which is very handy.

Mine turned up today too.
The only problem is that it's too big for where I want it. I'll have to rearrange some furniture.
Can't believe what I've just seen as I return home from work. Ok, the parcels have turned up today, which is good, but they must have been sitting outside our front door since delivery, which might have been about 11 o'clock this morning for all I know.
The boxes are hardly small and inconspicuous and I've got in from work at 5.30ish to an unoccupied home with three big parcels sitting for all to see! I'm surprised they're still there tbh.
Unbelieveable.

Viking have confirmes despatch of the chair and the tv..............but it's lost.
It should have arrived yesterday - but nothing.
Daft thing is i only live a few minutes from their Oldham Depot!!
Dave, Oldham UK.
It is one of those rare threads.
It's a bit like the Godfather trilogy...some people say the first was the best, some say the second and others,well they live someplace padded.
Even the sequels of this thread work. It isn't a teeny one where a few come back it's a hit time and time again. The number of views, the punters it pulls in.
Perhaps viking should sponsor the forums :)

Mine seems to be too, although they swear it will be delivered today. I ordered on Friday morning and should really have gotten same-day delivery, but it still hasn't arrived. This isn't the first time that they have screwed up my orders either. :suspect:

Yeah, I got the free TV. It's a bit basic, bit it's the same as the one I have seen in Safeway for about £18.
It's perfect for me - I can watch Corrie in the kitchen.

Just got around to ordering the chair but after confirming the order it's coming up as "SORRY, This product has now been discontinued". Same for the TV/Radio. The chair is still available for £34.99+VAT with the stock #Q71-MATRIX so will see what arrives I guess.
For what it's worth you can get free chocolate fudge with any order with the stock # QEN-PRBCHRN.

Not only has the chair and tv arrived - but the single cdr i ordered has magically transformed into a pack of ten - checked invoice and been charged for a single cdr - do DOUBLE RESULT.

Ordered Tuesday (thanks to original poster :-) ) - I missed the delivery on Wednesday and it turned up Thursday complete with TV and CDR :-)
Great chair - you wouldn't knock it for a lot more money.

phoned them, picked up within one ring and not automated response. Lady was very apologetic and said it would be with me on monday and that my packet of pens (to push the order over £30) would be free - yay
excellent customer service, very impressive indeed

My two arrived today, with free TV. Only problem is one of the chairs had it's bolts missing. Customer services were very helpful and said they'd send out replacements by post. TV reception is terrible but it has composite inputs and works great with my tv sender, finally I can watch TV and do the washing up at the same time :clap: . Many thanks to original poster.

The screw only adjusts the firmness of the tilt, you make it tlit pulling the height adjust bar out slightly.

check out the MARINO chair too
I went for that, slightly more expensive but comes with lumbar support
Also just found how to make it tilt - ta for explaining what the strange turning screw thing was for.
It really is a cracking chair, a pleasure to park my ass on it! :nuts: And the price certainly cannot be faulted :notworthy :clap:

as far as i can tell i can use a number of vouchers, one to get the free mini-tv for an order over £30 and others to get some free bulbs (plants) and a document bag both regardless of the order cost. can i actually use all these codes together in one order to get 3 freebies or would i be taking advantage of their generosity?
i already have a reasonable chair (although it doesn't have arm rests so i am kind of tempted!) but i am eyeing up an Allsop metal art monitor stand and some other useful bits and pieces :thumbs:
No you cant get all of the items free in one order, so im told ;)

Well, I finally managed to be at home the same time as the courier arrived. You really cannot go wrong with this chair, at that price. Even if it means *shock* staying in on a Friday or Saturday night. Do it. Order one now.

I tried getting lots of the free stuff too, but you are only allowed two per order. If you try the TV and the document bag it will say you need to buy more stuff to get the document bag. I think order needs to be 90 quid or over
You should be able to get the document bag and the chocolates though

Absolutly brilliant my back and ass are in heaven compared to that wooden piece of antique crap ive been sitting in!!!! Had been looking at leather chairs in Ikea but the student in me couldnt shell out that much :-)
Is it really leather though? Not that im complaining but just wondered if it really is for 30 notes?
BigDonut, how did you get the Marino for 44.99 +VAT?? Can't find that anywhere on the site (or the catalogue for that matter)
cjanderson
10-11-2003, 21:26
noooooooooooooo, got home again tonight and they have tried to deliver again and gone away, ignoring my message to call and i'll pop home.
Will have to leave a HUGE sign outside tomorrow saying CALL ME
Else, thats it, no bargain for me :-(

indeed. I queried it and was told the fudg would be sent, and it was :clap:
LMAO. Went for the chair thought it looked cool. Came back to the forum to post a thankyou, then saw the free TV thing DOH!
Anyway I rang up to ammend my order and added the radio (woman on phone was very nice). Then read the bit about £30 ex VAT. Double DOH!
Anyhow both turned up this morning well chuffed all for £29.99+VAT
So now I can sit in total comfort watching Super TV and GFX from my new 9800se *cough...PRO.
Love this forum!!!:clap:
So pleased I posted twice:lol: :gag:
another thanks to the original poster, ordered a further 3 lots, 2 for lads in the office and one for me sister
built mine yesterday and its fantastic, there can simply be no complaints at this price. Also to re-itterate, the customer service of Viking is outstanding!

Just tried the codes.. They don't work! Can someone else try it and see if it's still there? I tried last night, and they were fine. I was going to order it now!
Nevermind.. for some reason, it works now.... Got me in a bit of a panic... ooppsss
Ordered it last night.
Got it this morning, put it together, and have had me arse in it since.
The TV and fudge will make great christmas pressies.
Thanks to original poster:wave: :wave:
Just seen this, and having a go myself. Codes still seem to work...

Orderded the Milano chair though and hoping to call them to get some other freebies instead of the TV and fudge tomorrow. :)
Thanks to the original poster.
Ordered friday
chair £29.99
TV £0.00
Pack of Tachocards £4.49
Arrived Monday
Top bargain
"TV and fudge discontinued"
Tvs still available, just got one now.

11-11-2003, 22:30
thank got 2
:d
Ordered it just now, and it never mentioned anything about the TV being discontinued. However, it does say that now on my order form. Going to call them tomorrow morning to see what they can do for me :D
I'm not sad enough to read 10 pages of posts, Do I just stick this in the trolley and then it will be £29.99 with FREE delivery? Looks like the same as the Argos offering but £20 cheaper :D
If the good old Switch card is a option, Time to start buying Crimbo presents :clap:
//I've just read a little of the thread, So basically I add this chair into the trolley with some other cheapo item and then just do all the usual online ordering? Also, I've seen several mentions of a TV - Is that offer still available? :clap:

11-11-2003, 23:25

The helicoptor can be found in November's special offers section.
The towels come to £25.80 + VAT. For an £85 Remote Control Helicoptor this can't be bad. Would like to see some detail on the helicoptor though - has anyone got one? or seen a review of one?

I think it is this one: At Argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=1001&productId=52958)
Seems to have a similar looking base and controller.
These are selling on eBay for between £25 and £30.

yeah I had the same problem - it seemed to work OK-ish on one of the bands - have you tried playing with that? Simlar usage too, my uncle is getting it for xmas to put in his bird aviary :)
Has anyone received this helicopter yet ?
If so can you confirm it is a genuine Air Hogs one and not one of the cheaper "copies".
Cheers
Got my chair and fudge an tv!! Very very happy with the chair!!
And as for the tv, I have one very dumb question. How do you plug in an external antenna??? Mine has the normal jack that you plug into a tv, and the one on the portable tv looks much smaller!! ????
Doh! didn't see the convertor plug thing in the bag... Now everything's perfect!!

I needed the hand towels as Im doing a lot of DIY work at the moment and the're useful for covering / cleaning / moping up etc ... - they can double as pretty basic kitchen towels as well though
As already mentioned you can always sell the helicopter on Ebay to cover most of your outlay - nice present for xmas as well
got the forums chair of chioce
ordered 1045 arrived 1630, complete with fudge and tv
very very comfy, top bargain

I ordered the hand towels for £25.80 + some highlighters to take it over £30, and got the TV, Fudge, Helicopter, and Terrys Orange Segments free. Got the delivery yesterday, with a note saying that the helicopter is out of stock so they sent me an electric scooter instead!!! For £35 this is a total bargain (and two Xmas pressies sorted!!!)

Yeah the instructions aren't the best! I also had problems with the wheels but basically the secret is push them in as hard as possible, they do actually go in but need a bit of effort - You could ask a nice strong man to do it for you (sorry I'm busy at the moment! ;) )

15-11-2003, 16:21
Sheer pushing power is needed for the wheels! They pop in eventually. I had more problems with the brackets holding the base and back together - the darn holes refused to match up! :nuts:

same problem here, but ive built 4 now and have that sussed...
lay the back flush with the floor with the bolts into the base
then lean on the seat pad, this moves it sufficiently close to the back for the braket to align
once the thread is into the hole its plain sailing :)
yeah the feet just need pushing :)
I'm just surfing with a bad back, saw this and thought what a good idea. Leather - umm. Swivle - ahh. Tilt - ohh! I wonder what freebies I'll get with it - dribble.

well there was no nice strong man in the viking direct catalogue
:-(
But with a hammer, and a bit of arm power, its now made and i am typing from it. not as comfy as my old chair, needs a cushion i think. But like the tilt feature!!

Our leather chair came this evening, complete with free b&w TV - what an absolute bargain! :thumbs:

Just ordered one should be here today, what time do they normally arrive
Turn big light on
Yippeeeeee. Chair, tv, fudge £29.99 (+cd-r). Thanks for the heads up. Trouble is it's so comfortable I'll end up spending all night looking for that Dell bargain and not getting sleep.

after hanging on and hanging on and hanging on they just discontinued Y29-MATRIX!!
The other one - just MATRIX - is available for £34.99 but it's a fiver off a bargain now! Drats, etc.
Bloody Hell, i received mine at 3:45 i only orderd it a few hours ago, wicked service.
Its bllody brilliant thhis chair i love it, and my free tv, got that in the kitchen, might use it for a xmas prezzie :)
Cheers
Hey yea this chair has been discontinued theyve caught on lol, also my chair doesnt tilt how do i tilt it
bloody hell, i want it to tilt
i broke it
:confused:
BigDonut
18-11-2003, 23:53
dont think that swearing is allowed mate.
to make it tilt pull the lever (the one for making it go up and down) out i.e. away from the center of the chair
No Doesnt do anything, ive pulled it from the centre like you say and nothing happens
el_nello
19-11-2003, 11:33
The lever should slide out to the right (if you are sitting on it) along a plane parallel (ish) to the floor. It may need rotated slightly so the flat handle bit of the lever is parallel with the floor before commencing sliding. It should move easily i.e. you don't need to apply any force. When the lever is 'slid out' you should be able to lean back in your chair and it tilt. There is a large screw knob underneath the seat at the front which you turn to adjust the firmness of tilt (I can't remember which way does what).
I think there is also a guide in the instructions.
doesnt seem to be out of stock?
theres also a new freebie on the main page for some Droste Chocolate Pastilles (lurvely!)
Hardbattle
21-11-2003, 11:02
Are the Helicopers out of stock?!
Rich
Helicopters are out of stock apparently.
Now sending a CD player instead Will have to wait until it turns up tomorrow to see what type.
Chair, Tv and Choclates did arrive today though.
A small mod. If you drill an extra hole where the seat locks you can lock the seat in the tilted position. :clap:

Great! Might actually try that!!! :D
Was trying to lock it when i first got the chair, and was thinking that that was the ine thing missing with the chair!!!

27-11-2003, 12:41
well i went for a metal monitor stand (very smart, frees up desk space by letting me slide my keyboard underneath and should also be good for my back!), 50 assorted colour A4 folders (i am sure that they will get used eventually...), an adjustable desk-stand thing for supporting documents (a very cheap plastic effort wich is far to light and the adjustments don't hold very well, it will probably break easily as well so this is a bit dissapointing) and some cleaning wipes (handy for sanitising telephones) to get the order over 30 quid. also got the tube of choccies (no fudge left :( ) and the mini TV :thumbs:
It took me ages, it took hard, gutsy, restraint, but I resisted buying the chair.
I did, however, get a few ink cartridges and some paper, AND
the mini b&w TV AND
the enourmous tube of chocolate things.
Brill and Yum.
I figured, I'd lurked enough in Viking threads for years...
Q.
Thanks you punters..
Can someone post the code for the new freeby chocs????
:D
The free chocs are on the front page
What was the CD player like ?
Some one mentioned the MARINO leather chair with extra padding and lumbar support. Does any one know if that is on special offer too?

Just went for this myself. Seeing as it's late in the day i didn't think i'd get the TV (Still don't know for sure) but everything went through OK at the checkout. So for just over £41 after VAT i got a chair, some Chocs, a Re-writable CD and possibly a TV/Radio.
Many thanks.

saw the same chair for sale at the Micro Mart Computer Fair at the NEC yesterday.. £35.. already got mine from Viking and was about the same price.. except I didnt have to carry mine for 10 miles back to the car thru the NEC :D
Gone for this twice during the last week.... My brother and dad took the first pair I ordered (and the chocs and BW TV)!! Early xmas presents....
Just hope I hang on to the next pair and the freebies....
Best Offer to date.... Cheers to the poster!!
