Finally got my Sihoo M57. Got it from mymejakerusi (https://shopee.com.my/product/500470137/113...91-1643442880.9) instead of Aitsulab because i) they are slightly cheaper and ii) the colour I want (black) was sold out at Aitsulab.



Overall very satisfied with the purchase as many other buyers here had. The chair was not hard to assemble alone but definitely much easier if you have someone helping especially the part where you need to connect the seat back to the base.

A tip before starting assembly.... please go youtube and watch the assembly video. The written instructions supplied are very straightforward but you might miss some details even if you understand chinese. For me initially I missed out the part to install the screws together with the washers for the arm rest... end up spending quite some time there removing and installing again.


Lastly some comments for the arm rest. I rmb reading quite a few reviews saying its uncomfortable and quite hard.... surprisingly for me they are totally fine. Its not exactly hard to me, i was expecting it to be hard solid plastic but in reality its slightly soft.

Also I know M57 dont really have width adjustments for the arm rest but looking at the holes (refer above picture).... i was a bit confused. Initially i thought its adjustable so I didnt screw in tightly but then it became too flimsy. Was wondering if some lube will help make it adjustable.

It is not a width adjustable armrest, you gotta tighten that to lock it in position. Technically you just align it with your preferred width and tighten it

Yea i know. But seems like the potential is there to make it adjustable if someone adventurous enough try to mod it

seems like secretlab just increased their price? was looking at it last week costed about 1.8k for latest model but now its 2k plus????

Nice chair.

Looks very similar to the AM Office. I reckon all came from the Same manufacturer

Wanted to get that but it went up to 1k+ lol

Yup. A lot of them started adjusting the price in January. Same goes to AM Office.

CNY bro.... everything is going to increase prices after as usual....

"a few" probably was just me but i posted twice about M57 haha. Now that you mentioned, i tried pressing the armrest and indeed it is slightly soft.. emphasis on SLIGHTLY. Honestly i don't feel snugly at all cuz I actually have to hard press that down lol, otherwise, knocking on it I get kok kok kok sound.

It's my biggest pet peeve here because I rely on them to align myself to the desk height which isn't really a good fit to me. I can't rest on it 90 degrees, instead I rest my elbows most of the time instead, which makes it sore over time

There's a lot of local brands out there that rebrand Sihoo chairs and sells them at inflated prices. Evis and Space just to name a few. Just need to be aware of the chair design

How tall are you?

Actually at my current settings, the arm rest (at maximum height) is just slightly lower than my table. If i set my chair higher to match the arm rest with table height, my feet would be leaving the ground / not 90 degrees already. But so far I am ok with this arrangement, I'm able rest my arms on it instead of just elbows. I'm 178cm btw but thin

Also I dont think there's any chairs out there that give really soft cushion arm rest, mostly are just soft plastic, even on herman millers. Correct me if im wrong

Sihoo M57

Or top up slightly (1.2k - 1.5k+) for Alterseat CG Prime, Merryfair Wau / Wau 2

Sihoo V1 is another option to consider but you have to buy and ship yourself from Taobao. Also cost 1k+

Hi guys, currently trying to find good office chairs. I'm a short dude (165cm, 55kg) and I'm wondering if either a Sihoo M57 or Niture Hammock Pro would be a good fit. Open for other suggestions as well, budget below 1k

hows this 3 brand compare in terms of quality?

Wah lucky I got mine end last year during sale. 1.6k for regular titan evo

Bro. Just a suggestion. If ur feet can’t reach the ground just spend like rm10 buying a plastic stool from ikea as a footrest.

My wife on sihoo also and she’s on the shorter side so I bought her this. Works well.
My son also uses it when he’s at the computer.

Sihoo is great bang for buck. Quality feels beyond what u actually paid for it. The fact that some local brands like Space rebrands M57 and sells it for 1k+ speaks a lot

Can't comment about Merryfair since I never tried them

Thanks. Already got a footrest

hi, is there any steelcase series 2 users here? Any comment on this model?

markus naik harga RM50..

from 499 to 549.
