what are your thoughts on the Asus destier chair ? Do you guys like the Fern over the embody ? Thank you and keep up the great content
The best channel for desk chairs, hands down. Just wish "good" chairs weren't $700+ LOL
ya really, it's pretty ridiculous there is nothing under 300 dollars worth considering.
@ReturnTrip yeah to me a chair being a reasonable price is like 150$ and i own a 2500$ PC. Chairs are made of fabric and plastic and do nothing but hold you. They are extremely overpriced. Even the most expensive office chair on earth shouldnt be higher then like 700. These fucking 3k$ chairs are just stupid.
@@Odyssey636 PCs are just metal and silicon, you're a sucker for paying 2500

This was a very helpful video. The only thing I would recommend is adding bookmarks to the video for the start of each price range discussion to make it easier to jump back and rewatch specific sections.
2nd Request for bookmarks. Or 200th, according to likes for Alymon's comment.
I don't think you can make a more thorough and easy to follow review of chairs. This is fantastic content. Thank you for making it.
You really mean that, you really think there is no room for improvement? Never in my 41 year old life have I ever watched a video where I was convinced it could not be improved. What an experience this must have been for you..
I'll give you one example where I think it could be more thorough: I have a kinnarps chair and I would have liked to know if it was also in the runnung, however they did not list all the chairs that they compared.
what about timestamps? Would be easier
@@bestechannel6907 wow, that was easy. Maybe R Taber just doesn't have a strong imagination?
I’d love to see the Kinnarps chair reviewed
Which model? -RB
The return of the Lamia! If Greg keeps a singin’ its praises surely Steelcase will make it happen one day 🤣
They should just build them and sell them. LOL
Steelcase, Lamia when?
well ..the series 2 chair is a combination of series 1 and amia....so...maybe
Already have the Leap V2, looking at picking up a Amia tomorrow for a "steel." I might have to make this happen... Not finding a video of how to make it work though. Any help??
This was really fun to watch. Definitely do more of this style video.
I'm forming together a new space after relocating and can finally take the whole workspace area very seriously. I appreciate these informative breakdowns on the whole gamut of brands out there. I hope your channel continues to boom because this is definitely currently underrated information.
Cheers guys! Just picked up the Ticova and I'm loving it so far. Here in Japan it was on sale for 14,000yen which is like $103US. At that price point I couldn't say no. Maybe someday I'll invest in a super high end chair but this will do me for now. Big step up from the Costco Executive Chair I had before.
I picked up a used baseline fern for 50. Absolutely perfect purchase. Didn't have adjustable seat depth or recline stop. But it had the channels available so the seat could be pinned in place. Adding recline stop would be a thougher mod.
I have watched a lot of chair reviews by various reviewers. In my view, you guys have the most accurate reviews with a lot of attention to detail. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate that, thank you! -GK
I believe that the Steelcase Think V2 is a seriously underrated chair. I know that it's not for everyone but I love the 3D-knit backrest. It's the only backrest that I find to be truly comfortable because it has the breathability of a mesh-back with the support of a hard-back. Also, I love that the seat is an actual cushion as opposed to just mesh. It is soft enough to sink into but firm enough to support my weight.
Steelcase Leap v3:
-Leap back
-Amia seat
-Gesture arms
I had never thought about office chairs. I had chairs; I sat in them. Mine broke, so I decided to look up a good one and found this video. My Ticova arrived about an hour ago. I built it. I sat in it. I didn't understand that there was a difference, until now. This has been the second-most useful video I've ever seen on youtube (after one teaching me how to use a torque wrench to re-attach the break caliper on a 2012 Acura).
I tried out an Amia today at a furniture store and it's incredibly comfortable, much preferred it in pretty much every way to the Leap. The backstop feature I actually don't love so it seems just to be the perfect fit for me. Might pick a refurbished one up from y'all soon.
After watching numerous videos of yours I bought a ready-to-ship Haworth Soji based on your recommendation. I'm quite happy with my purchase. Hearing you bring it back up as your top pick for the price range was a pleasant reaffirmation in my choice.
Keep up the important work!
Great to hear we helped you out and that you found a chair you're happy with. Thanks for supporting the channel! - RG
Same, though I'm still waiting for my Soji to ship ='(
I just did the same!
@@btodtv Can you link your Lamia video if you have one please?
This format is great! If I had to find something to improve I'd say you guys could smile a bit more, but the content is tip-top and I'm definitely going to try a fern around my location. Thanks for your awesome work!
They must have edited out all of my smiles!! haha. Thanks for subbing and the tip -GK
Thank you so much for making this detailed video. Having the three of you with your picks really helped me pick out a solid chair for the new place. Went with the Ticova.
I love this style of tier list!
To answer the question of my pick, I have the Herman Miller Aeron remastered at the office, and while it is really nice, I actually prefer my old Kinnarps 6000 Free-float, that I have at home to it. The ability to lock it in any position, combined with the denser padding and cloth upholstery is just a winning combination for me!
that chair is by far the most uncomfortable chair ive ever used... they had those in my last office and i had to ditch it for a cheaper conference room chair. the seat is way too hard and the sides of it smash in to my butt. ill never buy a mesh bottom chair because of the side plastic makes it so uncomfortable.
Thank you so much for this video. Decided to buy the Ticova for my home office setup after seeing this, as it was the only "affordable" option in Spain. Ended up paying 160€ for it ($178) as it had a 40€ discount on Amazon. This is the *first and only* chair I've ever sat on in which I find myself using good posture. The list includes the Herman Miller Celle that I used for 6 years at a certain giant database company.
Super helpful! Thank you guys!
Nice work guys. Thanks a ton.
You should upload a guide/process of assembling the Lamia
I've searched and tried hundreds of chairs literally for years to find the perfect chair. Finally settled on antique chair.
I had to replace my home computer chair on a budget very recently and this vid of yours helped me decide on a Ticova, and even at 195cm it's very nice and comfortable. Thank you!
how is it working after 5 months?
@@liuete No complaints whatsoever, still as when I got it even after decent daily use and am still very happy with the choice. Definitely a solid step up from the ikea office chair I had before.
Thx for the reviews! Would love to see the Knoll Newson task chair also rated.. 🤔
Just wanted to send my thanks for your videos because I bought the Steelcase Amia after watching all of your videos including this one, and I absolutely love it. I had so much back pain from my last chair and it just took me so long to decide on a new one but your videos really helped me pull the trigger.
This channel does everything right. All they need is time stamps attached to the scroll bar
I'd get a Zody Stool fully loaded, with headrest too. No leather anywhere, full mesh, with the best non-abrasive seat fabric they got. And yes, they exist, or at least I have seen Haworth brochures where they are listed. At an eye-wattering 3k+ (and at this price range, I would probably buy it with 2 or 3 replacement armpads because they WILL tear apart, so add an extra 50 per).
Thanks for making this video!
can you do a video on how to place an amia seat base onto a leap v2?
Love the vibe and aesthetic.
Thank you for the in-depth video! For the Ticova chair, do the arms go up pretty high? I've got a super long torso and most budget office chair arms never go high enough for me. (My poor arms just hovering an inch or two above the arm rests... sigh)
If you live in a metropolitan center, you can definitely get something like a HM Mira for < 250 and an Aeron for < 700. For the Aeron, I'd rather pay more and get the configuration I want, but if you're looking for something < 300, I feel like a used Mira is definitely the way to go as opposed to a new or refurbished chair
Loved this video!! Recently started golfing and would be so grateful for this opportunity.
One spec I'd wish you'd have mentioned for each chair is their weight limit. I just started looking for a chair and as I am about 240, I need to ensure that I don't crush a flimsy chair. Other than that, I like your videos. One question regarding headrests: doing I really want one or not? I guess my answer would be based on how much reclining I'd be doing. My last chair was one of those bonded leather models and I was able to recline with my head supported. But that bonded stuff, geez, did it snow when I carried it out of my house to toss it.
6'-3" 205 lbs. #1: Haworth Fern. Hands down the best chair I've ever used. My office doesn't have the lumbar support or the head rest so I'd be curious to try that
just bought the Refurbished Amia from y'alls website for $500! Can't wait to try it out
Thank you for the support! -GK
Which video did you introduce the Lamia in? I want to see how to do it and what it does for you.
Really interesting, thank you! Surprised that none of the high range chairs have a headrest which is an absolute must for me, will have to keep searching
Get an Aeron and buy an atlas headrest separately if you want a chair with a headrest.
I understand why they don't care about headrests because typically they are fixed or offer very little adjustment, and usually you have to lean your head so far back it puts you in an awkward position. I personally rarely used the headrests on chairs and the only reason I bought one for the Aeron is I figured I already spent so much damn money getting a fully loaded Aeron, I might as well spend a little more to have the complete package.
But it was an absolute gamechanger due to the huge range of adjustment. Now I use my headrest constantly because I have it positioned where I only have to lean my head back an inch and it hits my neck in the perfect position so it feels natural to use and not like I have to look down my nose to see the screen like with every other headrest I have tried. If you want a high end chair with a headrest Aeron + Atlas headrest is the obvious choice, imo. Especially considering how few options there are for high end chairs with headrests, I am pretty confident in saying you probably won't be able to find anything better.
@@nerdstrangler4804 thanks, will look into that one!
I’ve owned and returned the Aeron B & C, Leap V2, and Gesture chairs. I tried the Hon ignition fully upholstered version and loved it with the exception of the small arm pads and lack of adjustment on the arm pads themselves. I ended up settling on the Mirra 2. How does the Eurotech Vera chair size up against the Hon ignition chair? Can you guys do a comparison between these two chairs as far as the seat cushion bottoming out?
Any updates? Also, why did you return the leap v2?
thank you for your work!
Great video. Curious if any of you have ever tried the Cherryman Eon chair? I have it and it seems very similar to the Vera from what I can tell in this video. Curious if you can verify similarity?
Which is best for "forcing" you to sit with good posture to avoid tension headaches?
Great video, quick question on the Haworth Fern. Does it matter if the chair is plastic or metal? It sounds like an expensive, but affordable chair that is amazing. Anything you would suggest?
The plastic used on high end office chairs tends to be very durable, it's not manufactured cheaply like the plastics used on cheap office chairs.
trying to choose between a vera, soji or refurbished Leap / Amia as my first office chair. Been sitting on a low end gaming chair for a couple of years now. Any recommendations or experiences?
My work has a deal where you can get a Fern chair for just 600 CAD - very glad to hear it's worth the money!!
i bought my steelcase leap v2 8 years ago. it was refurbished and its still holding like a king... its was not even new when i bought it and it still more comfortatable than my friends new hgih end chairs.. thats crazy.. i will buy this chair again in the future and for my parents
I have had mine for 6 years now and my only regret is I got it in black leather. It gets out and I have a cat now so I wrap it in fabric which fixes the heat issue but it doesn't have that gorgeous look I fell in love with.
What would you choose for home usage between Fern, Embody and Amia?
I have a standing desk and use chairs for work and gaming, probably around 5-7 hours a day
Hello, loving your channel, unfortunately I'm from a country (Portugal) that seems to lack almost all brands of chairs that you guys recommend and amazon prices with importation will skyrocket the cost of the chair. I will probably shamefully go for a gaming chair because its cheaper and ironically we have alot more of gaming chair brands than offices ones. If someone has any idea or suggestion it would be greatly appreciated :)
Love your content 😄, by any chance you guys have a pick for under $400 to grab in mexico?
A review of best chairs for tall/short/heavy weight people will be awesome.
I discover this channel just after I order a new office chair 😩
Could you do the same with high office chair like for the drawers?
Hi, what rollerblade wheels are you using on your Fern?
I'm 6' 8" and have a 27 inch back, do you think the Fern would be the best fit for me, since it has the tallest back? My desk is a sit/stand, so desk height isn't an issue.
I am planning on buying the Clatina Mellet because it is $200 but I was wondering if I should get the optional headrest for $30 more or not since some people I see say don't even get the headrest. Thank you so much for the video and for your help.
Can you show us a tutorial on how to tear apart and build the great Lamia?
Any recommendation for best chairs for tailbone pain?
Thoroughly enjoy these videos. Bought a Leap v2 off a friend who decided it wasn't for him years ago, and it's been my daily driver since. Easily could put 10-14 hours a day in it and not be uncomfortable.
Thank you! What did he charge you? -GK
@@btodtv Pretty sure I paid $500 (CAD) for it. Could be the best $500 I've ever spent. Upgraded to a longer cylinder to give me a bit more height as I'm 6'4.
Ya'll ever mess with Vitra stuff? I had placed an order for a custom ID-L tall-back in some crazy fun colors, however the owner of the shop gave me the loaner of a brand new but discontinued 'Pacific' high-back, and I fell in love. Took me 2 days to cancel the order on the ID and negotiate a fair price for the Pacific. The back is fantastic, with the vertical adjustments and it's got this amazing ability to fold over backwards when you lean far enough back and can STREEEEETTTTCHHHH your spine in the most amazing way ever. I'm in love!
Have you tried the Hyken? It comes highly recommended as well in the lower price range.
We rank the Hyken F tier in our tier lists -Greg
You guys are the best!
Your video is good. If you could add time stamps for each kind of chair in the video which could be helpful for me to review critical of chairs. Thanks in advance.
They usually do in their tier list videos, but in this case the chair picks were a secret to even them and putting timestamps with the chair names would defeat the purpose.
However, they could add one for the price points.
I like this type of format. Straight to the point. Unfortunately it also proves that good chairs remain expensive and thus the more expected models were chosen. I came here because I was looking for a chair for my gaming desk without having to go for a typical gaming chair. I already had my eye on the Merryfair Wau 2 / HJH Spektre (same chairs, different brands so I guess that should raise red flags) because well, yes, esthetics are also a factor for a modern look. The mesh combined with that really eye-catching white and grey spacy design appealed but as it currently stands I am not that sure anymore.
Also, though you get what you pay for in most cases when sticking to the established brands, I also think it is about balancing between what is healthy and good for you while also still remaining it justifiable. In my case that would be a
chair that does a great job for the time I will be using it (not professionally) while also offering a design that fits in with a modern gaming / production room. So starting all over again and probably turning away from the HJH Spektre / Merryfair Wau 2...sigh
As pointed out in their video refurbished chairs are always an option that can bring the price down to something more affordable. For instance they suggested the Amia and while the price is around $900-1000 for a new chair I see Madison Seating is selling a refurbished one for $300 and I see other used Amias in the same price range. Given the quality of Steelcase products I wouldn't worry too much about their lifespan.
I would be very interested to see the profim accis pro. Do you have any plans on looking at some of the chairs from them?
I haven't tried that brand. I'm not sure how easy it would be to access in the USA. I see they are EVERYWHERE in Europe -GK
@@btodtv unfortunately I don't know that either but would be very glad to see some more EU brands as it is pretty hard to come by some of the USA/Canada brands. Especially here in Poland. But this profim accis pro with the headrests really stood out to me and I am looking for a professional review as there aren't as many. But thanks for answering
Thoughts on Clatina Mellet (230) vs Branch Ergonomic chair with headrest (370) ? Emphasis on comfort with nice headrest under 500.
For inexpensive go Orangebox Do, for high end, Hag Sofi, I also have a Herman Miller Mirra which for me is better then the Aeron as I like the option to sit with one leg tucked under the other.
Thinking about buying the amia. My job has a discount program with steelcase where it would only be $569 OR $640 with aluminum base.
I'd always heard the herman miller logitech ergonomic chair is the most comfortable and all around best despite the ridiculous price point. Interesting there were almost no high back chairs in the higher up prices.
May have to try out one of these if I come across the money.
Pretty sure that's just an Embody, or am I missing something?
Does the Lamia yield two full chairs? Meaning do you also put the Leap seat together with the Amia Back? I know it's counter productive but at least it's not a total waste of a chair if so. Thanks!
Hi guys I’m chair shopping, probably looking at Herman miller - with my max budget being the embody…my only thing is that I’m looking for something breathable, worried the embody might not be it? I get hot and have a sweating problem when sitting for long aha so also considering the aeron. Do you guys have any suggestions?
thanks guys i’m so lost on what to buy for my school desk lol i’m 5’4 and I feel like an office chair will be way more comfortable than something like a gaming chair!
Our top pick for petite chairs is the Steelcase Leap V2. The Leap gets high ratings from basically everyone in the office. - RG
I've seen reviews on the Clatina Mellet saying that the piston holding the seat to the base fell through. Is this something that I should be concerned about?
What chair would be best for someone with CPPS?
I wanted to like the Soji but I felt it forced me in too much of an upright position. Hurt my back, and hurt my thighs. No matter how I adjusted it. I ultimately had to return it. I’m 5’11, 170. Should I go for the Vera?
Picked up a Haworth Fern from a local business that went under during the pandemic. Used for maybe a month, and I got it for 200. Absolute steal
Any chairs for those that are around 5’6?
Hi, thanks for the great video. There is a new model from steelcase, called personality, in Australia. Is this a thing worldwide? I cannot find any reviews or anything on that model. Is this OK in $300-400 range?
Which model Ticova did you like, there are two on Amazon $299 with an optional $20 coupon or $249 with a $100 coupon. I’m not sure what the differences in the models are?
I have an office chair that I have "lived" in for the past 30 years! It was built by United Chair and purchased from Levenger for about $800 in 1993. I live at the computer 8-12 hours/day (graphic designer) and this chair still looks and performs like new - never any maintenance (so far). It has thick gray fabric covered padded seat and back. Looks like they no longer sell that style. Armrests were like a hard reinforced rubber (non-adjustable).
You guys should try out the allsteel acuity and #19.
try nightingale chairs pls, agreed on fern. thanks for the vid guys
A question for you, I have had shoulder surgery and stretching my arm out for the mouse is killing my shoulder, any chairs that have mouse pads built in the arms?
Just discovered this world of office chairs. Was in the market to replace my wife's home office chair. Went with a refurbished Leap v2 from your shop. will let you know about the refurbished experience. Thank You for all your insight.
What's the experience?
Thanks!
i found some used amias on marketplace $175-300, and that sounds to good to be true. are there different models of the amia? if so what should i be looking for? thanks
You should try and make a video on mavix chair, your welcom.
Any thoughts on the Hinomi H1 Pro Ergonomic? My first mesh chair and I'm very impressed. £600 normal price or £500 sale. Cost me £480 with a RUclips discount. Has a 15year warranty.
Have you guys tried the branch ergo chair?
Just got the Haworth Fern from an office supply company (brand new) for $300 and I’ve never been happier with a chair.
which company
I'd like to know which company as well?
I'm getting the Ticova for my birthday. Standby for Update
can anyone recommend places in Europe to buy some of these ? like the Eurotech Vera for example :/ thanks !
I bought the Fern after watching your guys' most recent video on it. It's my new favorite (own the Leap V2, V1, Amia, Nightingale CXO, Secretlab Omega, and the Office Master OM5).
Yo you wanna adopt a 40yo man?
That collection! These new Zody chairs are gorgeous. Might want to add to you current collection when they drop this month -GK
Any thoughts on the Autonomous ErgoChair Pro?
You guys every review the Branch Ergonomic Chair?
#BTODTv can you tell us what is the model of that thin bezels LG monitor at 2:20 please?
Is there any chance you could point out some 300$ budget chairs for the European market if there are some different options or brand names for the same? Looking at these two options, neither are readily available over here locally or on Amazon.
I wish we had more access to products over there. If I make a trip to Europe, I need everyone in that area of the world to PROMISE they will watch the video and share :) -GK
can you recommend a high back chair with mesh seat? something like an Ikea Markus, I hate the floating headrests, reminds me of dentist chairs
You all are talking about chairs but I just see an amazing mustache
Eyes up, I’m more than just an amazing mustache 😂 -GK
I love everything about my Vera except the backrest at the top is not wide enough for me and the hard frame hits my shoulder blades. I'm 6'3" but fairly thin (180lbs).
I was wondering what the specific difference between the Takova and Millet recline is?
