Hey guys, my cheapo rm150 chair back mesh netting broke for awhile ady and im using a pillow to cover it and I'm starting to feel the pain now

Currently looking at sihoo m57 like most of u cause it's full mesh, but is alterseat cg prime gold worth +600 more than the sihoo one? Anyone with these chairs can comment?

for reference im 174cm and 50~kg, thanks

Also, how are mesh seat pans compared to foam + board seat pans? I imagine they will sag quite a bit as I also like to sit with my legs up sometimes? Are they suitable for me then?

Liv-10's seat is as short as Markus
In fact, all Alterseat's chair has the same seat measurement
Except the highest spec one, which has adjustable seat

Update on my chair issue. So I contacted mymejakerusi on shopee, they are being very helpful to my inquiry. They first contacted Sihoo's agent together with the pic and videos of my defect, then the agent suggested some fix including tightening the screw of the lumbar support, but none work because another component inside the lumbar support is actually loose and defective.

Sihoo actually claim the wobble is normal despite me providing video proof that the component inside is loose and feedback from other owners However good thing was mymejakerusi (Joshua and Bernice) offered to help swap out the lumbar support or whole backrest for me. They visited my place today and swapped out the parts on the spot. Happy with my chair again and definitely would recommend everyone to consider buying from them on Shopee if you want to get M57

Some side info.... I actually asked them today why they didn't bring in the Sihoo V1 as I actually preferred that chair eventhough its more expensive. They say its because Evis holds the exclusive distributive rights for that chair model itself. So even if they bring in, the warranty wouldn't be supported officially (no difference with buying from Taobao yourself)

I've been using Sihoo M57 for the past 3 months and was very happy with it despite a defective lumbar support (fixed as mentioned above). Can't really find any other full mesh option for RM800+ in the market iinm so its a none brainer if the chair suits your body size and weight

I'm 178cm 70+ kg btw

To be sure you can visit Aitsulab (another seller on shopee) place at kepong to try out the chair

Good day all sifus,
I would like to ask for opinion about Sihoo V1 vs Alterseat CG Prime.

Both are around the same price bracket, which should I go for?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I ordered the Sihoo V1 directly from Taobao instead of buying from Malaysian resellers. Still end up cheaper price after including shipping fee. M57 base price only rm570 on taobao. V1 rm1100. Resellers mark up kaokao for supposed "warranty". But I read the Shopee Lazada reviews, damage incurred from shipping (scratches) cannot claim warranty, manufacturing defect like base plate not level cannot claim warranty, what's the point of having warranty then? I bet if your chair spoils within warranty period high chance they will claim that its user damage/ wear and tear and won't let you claim. Might as well buy directly from the same source in China that the resellers get stock from.

As for why I chose v1 over m57 is because I saw a YT review where the reviewer have both chair but decided to keep only the v1 for personal use. Build quality also seems much better (more metal parts) than entry level m57 so it'll last longer

This sihoo v1 looks very similar to alterseat cg prime, the lumbar adjust also similar. Comes with seat adjustment also. The whole thing is weight heavy, might as well get cg prime.

Help guys, Merryfair Wau 2 or Sihoo V1 which do you all think is better? they are around the same price I think.

And the Wau 2 also has a mesh bottom right?

Got the sihoo m57 cause it was cheaper, after 5 days of usage I can say it's pretty sturdy and heavy, could lean back fully without falling which I couldn't do on my old chair, full mesh feels pretty good, only qualm is the lumbar support

I put it at the highest setting and it reaches the curve of my back fine, but even at the lowest depth setting it feels kinda uncomfortable and protruding, maybe because I haven't sat properly in so long so I think it's engaging my core muscles or smth like that, but I still feel kinda uncomfortable regardless, not sure if it is pain or soreness but once I pull it all the way down I feel instant relief, is it supposed to be like that?

Gonna give it a few weeks before I just straight up remove the lumbar support tbh, hopefully this is normal and I get used to it

Mind to share where did u buy it? And how much?

aitsulab on shopee for 830~, standard place, just bought it blind

Hi, I'm currently looking for a chair below RM700. I saw people are recommending Merryfair Anggun and ELY Trendy. Is there any other option in this range? Can you guys recommend the best one for me?

Height:163cm
Weight: 62kg

I think its normal. The thing about ergo chair is they force you to sit properly, and if you havent done so in a long time you will feel uncomfortable and not used to it initially.

I recommend starting out with the lumbar support in the lowest depth setting and slowly increase it if you want once you feel more used to it

The same happened to me with cg prime, the lumbar support hurt my back so much but luckily the refund was accepted and i concluded that ergonomic chair is not for everyone. Dont force yourself to sit on a chair that gives you pain.

No, IT NOT NORMAL. The chair should make you feel comfortable, at a reasonable shape. If you feel like you have to force yourself and end up more discomfort, then the chair's shape is not for you. Everyone has height difference. Even a person same height as you, let's say 170cm vs 170cm. there's also a difference in back length, leg length and body shape. So a chair that might work for 170 cm, might not work for another person that's 170 cm.

If it's already 5 days and you still feel pain and discomfort, it's a big sign that the chair is not for you. Since the back is protruding a lot, i suggest that you put a flat cushion at your back, put a layer between you and the lumbar support. You might feel more comfortable. Other than that, you gotta go around and scout for another chair.

A lot of the lumbar supports have arches that are way too exaggerating. It's easy to check if the lumbar support of the chair is as good as it claims. Just take the model, and compare the shapes and sizes with reputable brands such as Steelcase, Herman Miller, or Okamura. Do you see the shape of their chairs arch that way? How about their lumbar support? Is it overly aggressive as compared to the branded ones or quite similar? Then you will have a good idea whether that chair that you want to buy is being ridiculous in their designs.

Poor Herman Millers

Need very deep cleaning to remove god knows whatever shit in that flood water.

Anyone uses HM Sayl here? Tried one recently n really enjoyed it, more than the HM Aeron which i've tried before. Mainly due to its wider-back compared to Aeron which tries to fit to body..
