I am using Markus now but the seat is cracked/tear (changed the seat once, the new one didn't last more than 2 yrs)
My new purchase, main requirement is to be
fully mesh (back and bottom), ergonomic and wide (like Markus: so I can sit with my legs up)
Personally I am thinking of the following model (all seems wide enough, have mesh, "ergonomic enough"):
1) CG700 Alterseat
-> no review! why? -i think this one cost wise is ideal, has most of what i looking for. (not sure if the fix reclining is an issue or not for me and if the lumbar thingy is relatively good compare to others below)
2) ErgoPro Evis
-> seems pricy relative to other competitors here.
3) ErgoHuman AMOffice
-> this one seems like mixed review, so I can't be certain about this
4) Wau Merryfair
-> looks ok, just not sure about the plasticky parts.
I wouldn't mind spending more for Herman Miller but I don't think it is necessary. Also note that it is interesting that no reviews on CG700 Alterseat and Takeaseat chairs
Another Q: how many of you bought RM1k+ chair without testing it first? My dilemma now is whether to wait to test the above chairs before buying them (seems like a smart thing to do considering the price)
Any comments, ie what other considerations: warranties, personal xp etc?
Thanks!
Evis ErgoPro is a rebrand of Sihoo V1. If you can get your hands on Sihoo V1 you can save a lot and its basically the same chair. Its a really good chair but not worth paying Evis price
i) cheapest method would be to buy directly from Taobao. The chair itself should cost only around RM1.2k, and shipping itself may cost around RM150 - 300+ depending if you use taobao own shipping or 3rd party shipping. Drawbacks to this is warranty claiming, would be a hassle if you are unlucky. But I've read a post here saying Sihoo would send a replacement (or parts replacement) if the chair is faulty upon delivery.
ii) another way is through local seller/importer. Less hassle and worries regarding shipping, higher price than above but still cheaper than Evis. One seller I found on shopee
Alternatively if you want full mesh seat on a budget.... there's Sihoo M57. Able to get for less than 1k.
