    I got this same chair on eBay for $1100 shipped to my door. I don’t think I would spent $1500 for this chair... actually, now that I have sat in it for a few hours, I would spend that much for this chair. It was awesome to find it brand new for hundreds less! Mine was brand new from eBay for $1100 and that breaks down to $93/yr for 12 yrs which is justifiable. I’m glad I bought this chair. I spend about 8+hrs per day sitting in front of my desk because I work from home permanently as a sales rep for one of the largest insurance company’s in the United States.

This chair is expensive, but with the 12years warranty, I feel like the investment is worth it. What arms are you using for your monitors ? I've been searching for a long arm so I can put my ultrawide monitor over my other screens (I'm tired of it being vertical)

    Appreciate the very detailed review! I tend to sit straight or even lean forward slightly while gaming, do you find this chair gives enough back support while doing that? I've gone through multiple office chairs and found that for most I have to be leaning slightly back for the back rest to even touch my back at all like @ 3:39. and I just don't find that comfortable while gaming.

    • @rekcinol
      @rekcinol  3 года назад

      There is an adjustment to stiffen the back but it sounds like you might need something that can tilt the chair slightly forward to accomplish what you need. This chair doesn't do that but my office chair the Autonomous ErgoChair 2 does have that. Here is a referral link if you want to check it out - bit.ly/2GsA2B8

    Hey man, I have a similar stacked monitor setup. Was considering the embody chair but the one thing that stops me from getting it is the lack of a headrest when looking up. Do you feel any neck strain, is it comfortable to work like this the whole day without the head rest?

    • @rekcinol
      @rekcinol  3 года назад +2

      I don't have any problems with it but I've never used a headrest much even when the chair has them. I use the top monitor for things I don't have to check often. If you use it a lot then I would see the need for a headrest especially if you wanted to lean back and watch a movie or someone streaming.

    • @xophaser
      @xophaser 3 года назад

      if you like to recline with a headrest which I do, I got a Humanscale freedom chair with a headrest. It slides into place, not something I have seen before with an ergo chair. I was looking at the Aeron chair before I sat in a freedom. I upgraded it to have an adjustable arm (really) and more metal vs plastic. Herman Miller, Steelcase, and Humanscale have 15% off work from home (this didn't happen last year) with Humanscale being 20% off now as of date type.

    Hey bro! could you tell me if the box which the chair comes with, is "strong" enough to handle a worldwide shipping? or would I have to "secure" it a bit more? (a fast couple days shipping by a good caring company, not some trash shipping), just waiting for that answer so I can order it already :D

      @rekcinol  3 года назад +1

      I've never shipped something overseas so I'm not sure of that. It's made of normal cardboard and only taped at the seams not stapled so I'd recommend that it would need to be reinforced with another layer of cardboard and heavy duty packaging tape but I'm no expert when it comes to shipping.

      It's a little high but I'm short and since the desk is sitting on the IKEA Alex drawers it cannot go any lower. If I raise the chair height then my legs will not be perpendicular while my feet are flat on the floor. I've thought about getting rid of the drawers and using an adjustable desk in the future.

      @@rekcinol The idea is to push up the chair that your armposition is right and then find something to put under your feet.. For me i didn't liked that so i change my desk. I find out that most desks are way too high for my body even if i'm a standard size 1,79m (skinny type).
      My old desk was at 75cm and now i have a desk at 65cm(difficult to find). There is very little space between my legs and the desk, this allows me to have the 90° on my arms and on my feet when i'm sitting straight.
