My ex GF gifted me basically my whole set up. I really would love to learn how to do such a thing. I would do anything to fix this instead of replace it.

However if there is no way to fix, I’ll dissemble it and put it away with the rest of her shit (our shit)

Description: the bottom portion of the chair I guess we’ll say is the seat. Before I even sat on the seat I saw the seat sloshing in the front going a bit down. You can correct the seat but as soon as you sit down the front goes downward once again. Any ideas? I tried multiple things but I’m trying to avoid disassembly

Hi, I’m very interested this chair from Yaasa, has anyone heard of the brand? If so, what are your thoughts?

It found a deal on it went from 200 eu to 71 and I can't find a review about it and idk if the reviews in the site are fake or not

Been looking at chairs, have to sit 10 + hours a day. I made a post here earlier asking for recommendations, and got some good ones (such as leap v2), but in a few years, im most likely gonna move houses so ill just buy a cheaper second hand one for now.

Saw an Okamura Baron for 250 AUD. Have very little knowledge of chairs.

Is Okamura Baron good?

I'm looking for recommendations for a heated office chair that doesn't cripple me after a few hours. I work 12+ hours a day, 4-5 days a week, and a standing desk isn't an option at the moment due to the amount of monitors we have to use. I don't much care about a massage function, but heated is pretty high priority.

I'm a 43yo woman, 5'10, 180lbs, and have had 2 lower back surgeries and working on a third if I can't find a better chair. I'd like to find something under $300, that doesn't make me want to play in traffic after a few hours. Most days I'm able to sit in a chair like a normal human being during my shift, but often the workload is so demanding I end up spending 12 hours sitting forward on the edge of the seat. Any chair that has the the heat and support I need for my back is sorely lacking in the butt pad department. I have an awesome pad I sometimes use, but it's terrible for those days I don't get shit back and recline.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions for this magical, unicorn chair? Please and thank you!

My work-from-home non-branded “good enough” office chair on the left, new Anthros on the right. A recent 5-6 month stretch of 50 hour work weeks got me into a crippling lower back problem.  I could still work all day, 8-10 hours or more, but just getting out of the chair took a huge effort and I even started using a cane to help myself stand up.  I have an electric standing desk, but that was little relief.  I’m a month into doctor tests/therapy at this point, with noticeable improvement on that front.  As part of this I replaced my chair with an Anthros and I’m 1 week into this new chair.  I read a lot of reviews and watched many videos before making this expensive decision.  This chair is a life saver for me.  The pelvic support is what I needed, and I could not find that in another chair. I’ve already noticed it’s helping me fix my posture.  All the work in back therapy and home exercises is not lost by a long day at the computer now.  Using the Anthros instructions and guidelines I measured my desk / monitor setup and saw how everything was just a little bit off (monitors too high, desk also too high).  I enjoy my line of work and I’m not retiring soon, so I can’t let working wreck my back.

I’ve had my decoy for some years now and am looking for an upgrade in comfort/ergonomics that’s not too expensive. I’m thinking ~$500. Never had a chair so expensive, but it sounds like it might be worth it? Just don’t want these crazy expensive 800+ chairs.

Hi! I am needing to buy an office chair for my apartment and am trying to balance it being aesthetically modern beige, providing solid ergonomic support, and not breaking the bank (max $500-600).

Context - I'm 5'7 and 125 lbs, and always find myself sitting criss crossed/curled up. I have a laptop heavy job where I am typing or on Zoom calls all day, so need something comfortable to spend long hours in that guides me to improve my posture. I also have a walking treadmill I use some days so would prefer it's easy to move out of the way when needed.

I've looked at the Branch chairs (Ergonomic Chair, Ergonomic Chair Pro, Verve) and Article Rya Chair, but am also open to other suggestions!

TIA :)

I wfh full time and it is time to upgrade my gaming chair which is on it last legs.

I have bot found anything yet, can someone recommend a good chair that will get heavy use due to wfh all the time.

I am based in the uk

Hey! I am looking for a dining table chair which can also be used for working. I don’t have a separate desk so trying to find a chair which is both a beautiful dining table chair but also very ergonomic for working from. Any ideas?

Hey all,

i'm desperately looking for fitting office chair. I'm 1.90m (6.2ft) tall, but the real issue is that i have very long legs in comparison to my upper body. They are probably the length of someone who is 2m tall. Hence, every chair i bought so far was either not high enough, or, more commonly, the sitting area was way too small. They all get extremely uncomfortable after a short time. XXL chairs are more designed for higher weight people, which i don't need (i'm only 93kg).

Do you have any recommendations for a fitting chair for tall but thin guys like me?

Thanks in advance!

Okay, to preface this, i'm about 5'9" (175cm), and roughly 130lbs (about 60 kilos). I spend quite a lot of time sitting, sometimes all day long, so a good fitting chair has become a priority.

I've not once used a good ergonomic office chair though, so now that i've decided to get around one, i've been doing a lot of research, watching reviews, reading articles, skimming through this subreddit, etc.

To my surprise, basically any chair you think of, even something that's commonly considered top premium stuff, you can find people criticizing it and saying it's literally the worst chair they've sat in

I realize that at the end of the day, it's a matter of personal preference, but after a lot of thinking, i've decided that i'll just get what most people swear by and say it's really well built, so i've narrowed down my options to haworth fern and steelcase gesture

Like i said, i spend a lot of time sitting, i also like to recline, change positions every now and then, cross my legs, etc., so something like Aeron wasn't really an option since it's more of a "stiff" chair that has you sitting in one positions and basically punishes you for trying something less "orthodox", if that makes sense

Among these two beats, which one would you guys recommend to me, and more importantly, which one is less likely to disappoint?

Wondering when a platinum headrest for a Leap v2 with platinum frame will be available.

Hey guys first time posting here, I found this chair thanks to the subreddit so figured I’d give my impressions as well. I bought it off good ol Amazonian for little under $300 so you know delivery was great.

To get started I’m 6ft mostly torso with 27 inches from my waist to shoulders weighing in at 235lb. Now I can’t speak on the build of the chair as I took a nap and my little 12 year old brother built it for me, so if a 12 year old can build it with no help I’m sure it’s fairly simple. (He even carried the box up the stairs himself which I’ve heard the box is pretty heavy)

Now my very first impression when I sat in this chair was Absolute comfortability for the seat cushion. I come from a fantasy lab big and tall gaming chair whose padding is a thick memory foam and the Colamys padding is just much more comfortable all around.

The back of the chair which is a mesh material I thought would be a deal breaker for me as I work from home and am almost always shirtless and thought the mesh would dig into my back. It does not it’s actually very soft yet firm enough to support my back. The lumbar support to nobody’s surprise is a bit aggressive in my opinion, It really is digging into my back and causing discomfort. I just lowered it all the way though and the seats design is enough to support my lower back which is another surprising aspect I was not expecting. I have a gaming computer that causes my room alone to turn into a sauna and this chairs back mesh breathability is amazing! Whenever I get up to use the bathroom and come back the back of the chair is nice and cold and I’m only gone 5 minutes max.

The tilt functions are good not perfect but good, as others have said the tilt strength on it is really weak even at the highest tension it still leans back far too easily, which is nice in a way since it’s really easy to lock in place every control is on your side easy to reach by hand which is a plus for me. There’s no creaks no noises and it feels just right when leaning back doesn’t feel like I’m going to fall or anything.

Now onto the parts I didn’t like. First of the headrest I know to many the headrest might not be an issue, maybe I have weak neck muscles I’m not sure but I cannot I repeat cannot stand having nothing to place my neck on for support, and as mentioned in the beginning my torso alone is 27 inches this chairs backseat is about 22 inches so my shoulders are not even on the back of the mesh they’re above it but it’s actually still comfortable there’s no issues on that. The headrest is a completely other issue tho no matter how I adjust it I cannot seem to get a good spot for it. I found out there’s more ways to adjust it than the manual lets on by another Reddit user on this subreddit and even with adjusting it that way i can actually place my head on it, but there’s a reason it wasn’t in the manual it’s super uncomfortable this way. It digs into my neck the plastic part I mean, hurting after a couple minutes let alone having to work for 9 hours on it.

The armrest, if I’m being totally honest and this is more of a me preference is the dealbreaker, the headrest issue and the fact the back is not my size, isn’t the biggest dealbreaker for me, I figured for the headrest I can find a small fabric to offset the pain maybe. But the armrest are a major deal breaker for me, they designed the arms to be with the chair so when you recline the armrest stay forward, and for me who’s also a gamer but use controller, I like placing my arms on the armrest for support. Ive tried adjusting it in many different ways but just cant find a sweet spot unless im sitting upright and even then the arms dig into well my arms a lot, this material is really hard and thin barely any padding.

All in all the chair is really extremly comfortable and if It wasn’t for my own body shape it would be perfect. The headrest and armrest are what’s killing it for me, if you don’t mind those two things then I say go for it this chair is honestly too comfortable and a lot of nice features for under $300.

I’m thinking of purchasing a leap v2 from Crandall or BTOD and the atlas headrest along with it. What’s stopping me is the price point, I don’t really have bad back problems I just work and game a lot and want a comfortable chair that will save me from future back pains. Is there anyone on this subreddit with or a similar build as mine that can speak on the leap v2 or any other office chair they reccomend for that matter? If you have any question of the colamy please do ask it’s still in my possession but will be returning it soon it’s just not for me and it really does make me sad, I don’t want to spend 1k on a chair I just don’t have that type of money for a chair…yet

Can anyone recommend a one-size-fit-all chair in the UK? Should be suitable for furnishing an office for example. Wish to buy one but desire a low-risk and budget friendly option.

I'm looking for an ergonomic office chair with a budget of around €130. Do you have any recommendations? Right now, I'm using a regular chair and it's causing back problems. (If it helps, I'm 180 cm tall.)

So i got my ergohuman good few years ago and its still holding up well - with the only caveat being the handles. Like said in the title, they are creaking and are wobbly.

Are there any typical creaking points?

Hi all,

I've had my Embody for quite a while now and I've had this issue since I got it.

No matter what I wear or what I do, I will always be charged and give some electricity to whatever I touch after getting out of my Embody.

The Embody is placed on parquet floor, so no rugs beneath it or anything.

Does anybody know how to counter this or what I can do to my Embody to stop this from happening? Any help is much appreciated!

Has anyone tried the Sweetcrispy Ergonomic Chair from amaz0n? I'm particularly interested in the version with the adjustable lumbar support/headrest. Thanks!

For reference, I'm 5'9/5'10 about 180lbs with a more wide/musclar build looking for good back support.

I haven't found many comparisons between the Anda Kaiser 3 and the Colamy Atlas chair. What do you guys think? I need a comfy gaming chair and $450 is prob my max budget.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me with my Steelcase Please V1 office chair. The height adjustment suddenly stopped working today. The adjustment lever/handle is completely loose and doesn't do anything when I move it.

I took a look underneath the seat and found what looks like the cause: a small metal rod, which is attached to a thin cable, has become disconnected. As you can see in this picture.

I'm pretty sure this rod/cable assembly is the linkage that connects the height adjustment lever to the valve on top of the gas lift cylinder. The cylinder itself seems fine (the chair isn't sinking), but the lever can't activate it because this linkage is loose.

Does anyone know specifically where and how this rod/cable should be reconnected on the Steelcase Please V1 mechanism? I can't quite figure out where it detached from, and I don't want to force it.

Any advice, diagrams, close-up photos of a working mechanism, or video links showing how to fix this specific connection would be incredibly helpful!

Thanks so much in advance!

Hey everyone,

After doing way too much research and diving deep into chair reviews and videos (it's borderline become a hobby at this point 😅), I’ve narrowed it down to two options: the Haworth Soji and the Herman Miller Lino.

I know the Soji is often considered one of the best value chairs out there, but my situation is a bit unique—through my work, I get a 30% discount on Herman Miller chairs, which brings the Lino down to about the same price as a customized Soji.

So, assuming both are the same price, which would you go for? What matters most to me is seat comfort, backrest support, good ergonomics, and overall comfort for long hours of sitting.

I’ve watched tons of reviews and read all I could find, but I still can’t seem to make up my mind. Would love to hear from anyone who’s tried either (or both)!

Thanks in advance 🙌
