Ok here is my journey in search of ergonomic chair.

currently me and my wife is using an ikea office chair(not markus)

Steelcase Leap 2 (RM3,680)

Wife works from home. On average she sits at least 10 hours and at times 12 hours. Her back is killing her. She tried all the Steelcase model and settled for Leap. In her words after sitting on Leap the rest just don't feel right. Her chair will arrive in the next week.

Merryfair Anggun (RM560)
Initially I wanted to get the cheapest Steelcase Series 2 at around RM1900. But after trying Leap, same sentiment as my wife- either get Leap or settle for much cheaper one anything in between is just not worth it. For me even gesture not as good as Leap.

At ELY showroom I also tried their Trendy which was not too bad at RM620(excludes delivery). Then I remembered some forumer here are using Anggun from Merryfair. I have not tried it but from what i see its quite similar to Trendy. The advantage Anggun over Trendy is the 5 years warranty, better handset and of course around rm100 cheaper. So I just made my order without much hesitation. btw, unlike my wife i probably use like 2-3 hours daily at max since I am on field job.

As for HM, I have no doubt its a very good chair but at RM6000 its really out of my budget.

ahh sorry...early Oct about 14 working days

i didn't know there is a high back/low back. but confirm with head rest. will check again once i get the OC

how come you pick up and not sent to you?

my case was initially they told me i would get it on yesterday(Friday), then apparently steelcase will only deliver to them on monday/Tuesday. i will only get it next thursday. kinda disappointing

ahh.. you got it via company discount.

on employee one chair?? can get more?

hi can i know how long it takes your from order to collecting your chair?

mine was delayed for the second time

Got my Anggun from Merryfair. Will take some get time to get use to. As compared to my ikea, the cushion is flat. i would have preferred it if the side is curve so it wraps your bump around. Now i feel i am like sliding down.

Other than that, the hand rest is a little stiff.

Cushion a little on the firm side.

The depth adjustment has a spring to pull the cushion back. i guess the locking mechanism is not that great. still creaking if you push hard enough

overall for RM560, its ok. also got a free stool. hope i am not too critical on a RM5xx chair
