Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is a purpose built ergonomic work chair that will benefit your posture. The discomfort i feel feels as though it's from my lumbar vertebrae gently shifting into proper alignment.

It has a sort of lattice structure that has curvatures to cradle your back. It's one level down so i can recline just a tad. The comfort level is unmatched.

Setting/resetting all of the controls is responsive, easy, and intuitive. Setting it up so feet are flat on the floor and legs are roughly 90 degrees, placing arm rests in a position to easily reach keyboard and mouse is the place to start. Chair widt... Read More

The bottom line on this chair is that it is unexpectedly miraculous. It's also really funky looking so if you're into that.

Took like 15 seconds and probably is a result of poor handling during shipping but otherwise, arrived in fine shape. Don't misunderstand. It is well worth the money paid! Worth every penny.

Cons

The back of this chair barely makes it half way up my shoulder blades. All the stuff about good posture, back support molding to your spine is all nonsense.

There is no way this chair comes anywhere close to justifying its cost. My estimate of what it should cost is <$130. I haven’t been able to fully assemble the chair.

The return process is also inconvenient since this is such a large item. Exchanged it, same thing. Be wary of 3rd party sellers.

The top of the backrest is either misthreaded or striped. You have to hold it all steady as well as you can; shove the screw in; hope it caught.

Highlights

Quality

The seat is very comfortable, breathes well, offers great support and is built to last.

This chair is by far the most comfortable office chair i've had, and makes long days at the keyboard much more pleasant.

The cushion area is a more extreme version of the back-- it's made up of a ton of cells that are around a square inch apiece.

This chair for me--5'10", 210lbs--feels like it was built for my body specifically, with almost no adjustment.

Price

At this price point you might expect perfection on all levels.

In short: it was a pricey chair, but worth every penny.

Unfortunately that process has been very costly all around.

This chair is expensive, and i spent a lot of time debating whether to pull the trigger and waiting for a sale.

Shipping

Appreciate that you folks beat the estimated wait time by almost 3 weeks.

The only part of the process that i didn't care for was that the amazon delivery guy dropped it at the bottom of the steps and ... Read More

It took me 6 months to buy this chair, in fact, i ordered two chairs last week and just received them today.

It ships very fast all you need to do is open the box and will it out.

Packaging/appearance

It's worth noting that this chair arrived with a broken wheel and a compromised seat extension control, attributed to the selle... Read More

I opened the box and the chair was fully assembled, had questions called customer support answer right away with a quick answer.

Despite a less-than-ideal experience with the third-party seller from whom this particular chair was purchased, our review focu... Read More

Competitiveness

It is very comfortable when comparing it to cheaper office chairs and even secret lab which i also have.

I work on a steelcase leap v2 chair at my office typically for 6+ hours daily so i am well suited to compare the two.

Update:i acquired an additional steelcase leap v2 chair recently and can directly compare now.

I hope i have been able to give you a good comparison that can show you the difference between a few of them so you can determi... Read More
