Wow. I understand the vaccination part, but forcing customers to take test kits is a bit too much. Well not to say force, but still….

This one will really need to try out the chair for sure. Cause it looks like the ErgoPro that i had and it is more suitable for certain people, probably taller people. It doesn’t look like the backrest can be adjusted and the seat depth can be adjusted also. It’s almost as expensive as a steelcase chair that offers more customisation. Also, it looks like those SiHoo rebrand that some people here are ordering directly from China at half a price. But that’s my personal opinion only.

Oh didn’t even notice that the account is new!

Actually im curious about how everyone’s workspace looks like?

A lot of furnitures are actually manufactured in MY until China takes over.
Thats why you see chairs that look similar like some overseas brands but under a different name. Could be the same manufacturer manufacturing for the other company, thats why they have the blueprints and then sell them as their own.

Huh interesting. Herman miller is never a heavy chair. Cause i have changed a few chairs and HM is definitely super light. It has ansolid feel but definitely light.

You ordered from the atlas website? I ordered from local distributors, no need shipping fees.

I got it for 900, but i pre-order so had to wait about one week.

Well, I made complaints against them after one day of sitting and experienced back pain and see some bruises on my back from the so called lumbar support? I made noises until they accepted to take the chair back and refund.

yeah this Ikea Markus is really horrible for short people.

I found something to complain about the Herman Miller chair, it’s not good for leisure when I just wanna relax at night and watch show on my PC. Thinking to get an extra lounge/lazy chair. Any recommendations? Or just go for ikea’s?

I’m still keeping the aeron. Not interested in any chairs that are not mesh.

I feel that it's the same with Embody. Cause Herman Miller doesn't really let you lounge or lock in a recline position.

This type of curved back designs it’s not for everyone, suggest that you actually go there and check for yourself.
Can’t choose seat depth though, for a lot of other chairs around this price usually can adjust some sort of seat depth.

Some of these curves are overly done, look at Herman Miller chairs as well, they don’t have much curve. Even the Japan brand - Okamura spots minimal curve designs. They are flatter. I personally would take Steelcase or Herman Miller or Okamura equivalent designs because these companies at least take time and years to research and study about it. The rest, don’t know. Even if they do have some sort of curve back, they don’t have the extreme angles that some of these chairs have.

Yes I spoke to them before I got my Aeron from Trax. They said that they can ask suppliers to send parts if there are issues. Unlike Trax that tells me straight away that I can claim warranty with them.

They also told me that the chair is durable and most likely won’t break down, so might as well buy a cheaper one and then resell it at the same value later. I feel that this kinda sales speech is scammy as hell.

No doubt they will give an original Aeron(maybe?) problem is his supplier and warranty. With no official guarantee, you really don’t know where their Aeron is from. I mean there could be some minor defect units or equivalent, who knows really. Or those rejected units maybe? Which is most likely I feel. Otherwise why would they not have proper warranty at least?

Also, when I ordered my Aeron from Trax, my chair was a lemon unit, and Trax sent engineers to check and immediately replaced a new one for me. I doubt I will get the same treatments without official warranty. Because they have a responsibility to take care of Herman Miller reputation as well as an authorised dealer. The rest doesn’t.

Honestly if you can afford a 5K chair? Please pay slightly more to get that peace of mind.
Why risk it?

I saw the youtube video introducing those chairs. The materials look kinda cheap and thin.

I have had similar chairs from AM Office with this kinda of back support. Not recommended at all. It's horrible and cut into your skin.
Granted that my body size is not even big or wide, for those who have wider body size for sure the edges will poke into your back.

yeah lo the ikea's one.

if you are tall, then you could probably test water with Markus. but it's definitely not good for short people.
This chair is built for average Scandinavian height ...
