Hi guys,

Read more than 10 pages of the discussion in finding the perfect ergonomic chairs haha.

I am trying to find an ergonomic chair to fix my bad posture throughout this WFH situation. 1.5 years too late but yeah...

1. Budget would be below RM1k if possible.
2. Key function would be armrest ,lumbar support, head rest.
3. Used in non-AC room majority of the time

Any suggestions based on these criterias? Currently looking at Alterseat (CG-700 because of full mesh seating/not hot) or (CG-007 - the latest model but fabric seat). Cant try in their showroom due to MCO, checked with their cust. service, they are still not opening despite MCO relaxation SOPs.

Also notice some of you suggested Merryfair, but haven't really thought about it. Hence, any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

Edit: Checked out the Merryfair, seems good as well especially Fulcrum which is within my budget and Anggun which is cheaper, but the bad side is they are on holiday at the moment (read someone mentioned they will only be back in Oct(?))

Also, Alterseat recline can only be locked at 3 preset options, normal, 20 and 40 degrees.

i'm also looking at Tune, but since got 0% ezypay from MBB, i extended my options to Wau

waiting till end of month to see if they have Merdeka sales or not

I bought the Tune chair with 10% discount on 1st June, still waiting for them to send me the chair kek. Recently they updated me saying their factory got covid so will delay again.

Read through all 32 pages in 3 hours (including the posts, videos, specs etc)

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:
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?

Thanks!
