Ok, I just bought this chair. I don't want to go into too much detail, but at the very first moment I was amazed by the quality of the packaging and the overall quality of the chair. Spare parts, everything beautifully packaged. For me, the chair is the most beautiful that exists on the market right now, because it is gray and has beautiful lines. The seating is comfortable!! In the reviews, they said that the limber support hits the back, but when I put it all the way down, it doesn't hit at all. Metal parts - awesome. Lots of settings, especially seat depth. The headrest is also perfect. I am 171cm height. I've used an Ikea Markus for a few years, but this is really in a different class. I'm really amazed and happy. Thank you.
I bought the Colamy Atlas (aka XK) based on previous videos here (this is kind of a repeat of a previous video about this product but with added detail) and yes, it is noticeably more solid than cheap competitor offerings, but I still wouldn't say to build up your expectations too high about it. It's still a mid-budget chair and has limited range of adjustability on all these features. The physical contact points are on the small side even if you're of average size.
My legs are long for my height of 5'10" and the seat depth sliding adjustment (while really great to have) does not go forward too far, so it doesn't provide full support of the entire thigh/hamstring all the way to the back of the knee, even at full extension. You have to really tuck your backside all the way into the crook of the chair and ensure you have feet flat on the floor (or a foot rest) for proper leg support. He references this in the video when criticizing the slanted edge of the cushion. Nearly all of the surface engagement is on the gluteus muscles because the seat cushion is on the small side and the shape is basically convex (slightly rounded across the top) rather than flat or concave (rounded inward so you sink into it) like a conventional chair or car seat that conforms to you.
I would compare the sensation to sitting on a Swiss exercise ball, rather than a conventional flat cushion. Not as extreme obviously, but the point is that the seat is not as flat as certain other chairs. Whether or not this is ideal or even comfortable may be entirely subjective, but I draped a folded fleece blanket over the seat for additional cushioning and reduced contact point pressure. This is only a remedy though, and if you like having the freedom to move around in your seat at all, it doesn't offer you much room to do it. If you like to occasionally sit in any position other than having both feet flat and perfectly angled forward (e.g. having one leg crossed over or under, or even sitting cross legged, or rotating the chair off angle a bit) that won't be easy on this. It's basically designed to keep a task-oriented posture, face forward, back straight, and feet flat.
The lumbar support plate and mechanism are also small, and in addition to having limited height adjustment, it also lacks any depth adjustment or padding, so you cannot get more aggressive with the lumbar pad like some chairs do, and it doesn't have any cushioning against the mesh back. Best I could do was was to wedge a folded towel between it and the mesh back to provide more contact surface engagement and some additional cushioning to reduce any contact point pressure against the lower spine. Just another remedy though, not an ideal solution.
The arm rest surfaces are good (no complaints about the wide and flat design or the material) but they're let down by a lack of range or an ability to increase the tension on the adjustment point to lock them more firmly in place. Height adjustment is only three inches and they often accidentally move out of the position at the slightest push, and there doesn't appear to be a user serviceable method to increase the tension on them or lock them in place to prevent that. I'd also like to see the metal arms mounted further back on the chair base so that if you want to scoot in closer to your desk and keep them high, the arms don't bang into the edge of the desk. You will notice that most of the premium brands often mount the arms much further back near the rear of the seat cushion for this reason.
I ended up removing the head rest (a feature I ordinarily enjoy) because it has limited range and cannot rotate forward more than a few degrees, so it's very hard to get it down to the area just above your shoulders and behind your neck where the concave mesh shape is designed to nestle into. The height adjustment mechanism only travels in one direction, clicking upward through each stop, but at the tallest stop it disengages and falls all the way back down to the lowest setting. Not the greatest design decision; it should be much easier to make small adjustments while seated in the chair. There is no way to manually adjust downward and it's almost impossible to get it up to the tallest height without inadvertently or accidentally collapsing it back down to zero on every attempt. The set screws that presumably control the angle rotation tension are also not correctly sized for the wrench tool they include, and even after tightening them with my own tools, they did not firm up the tension much. Rather irritating design, limited rotation and tilt make it almost impossible to get it where you might want it to be.
What this has going for it is that it's built better than the really cheap competition because it's made by a team that obviously understood higher end chairs better than the knockoff brands do. Just don't be fooled into thinking it's high end for a budget price. If anything, this should scare the competition into building things to this standard for this price, because there are more expensive chairs that are of poorer quality, but I agree with the video that there's room for improvement. I'd DEFINITELY be willing to pay more for a premium Colamy model if they could make everything even more adjustable and increase the range and tension of all the adjustment points, and offer more seat cushion options.
At this point you should’ve just made a video lmao
Good review. I bought this chair 4 months ago and my initial impression was its very comfortable on my back. The problem is the headrest, its agony. It doesn't sit in your neck like its supposed to, it sits in the middle of your head. Since I am tall, I don't understand how any below average height person could use a chair like this. Since this is supposedly the best chair available for this price, and I am tired of looking for chairs, I guess I will have to 3d print a headrest. The ticova headrest looks better than this but Idk where to buy one, and I'd need to 3d print a connector module anyway. I do not understand how Herman Miller thinks chairs should not have a headrest, because anyone who works more than 3 hours needs a headrest...
I appreciate this feedback.
You think I’m gonna read all that? It’s just a chair, calm down 😂
@@John_NYT Chair is the most important thing in life. When u at the computer u at a chair. When u in the car u at a chair. When u sittin on the bike u in a seat, basically a chair. I appreciate long and detailed reviews about chairs.
UK based - i bought this, came within 4 business days and it's an amazing chair, easy to build, solid and very comfortable. Regarding the arms issue he mentioned, i just swapped the arms around and it works perfectly to fill that gap.
One thing to add: their customer service is great.
On getting mine I emailed them in the evening saying the seat was damaged in shipping. They responded within an hour after box hours and expedited a replacement shipment within the next email.
As a small business owner, I love seeing others have such prompt customer service.
Update:
I got back the replacement and same issue with the seat depth. The replacement part came with absolutely NO protective padding and box was damaged from the space of the unit rocking around.
With the many parts and points of failure on a budget chair with no packaging, they’ve screwed themselves.
Interesting, I bought the chair and it showed up with a broken seat as well. Both adjustment knobs nonfunctional and the plastic shroud cracked. I emailed them almost a week ago and have yet to get a reply, I've decided to return the chair through amazon as soon as my new chair shows up.
Never speak too soon
I love all of your videos but I got to argue against buying this chair. I bought this chair back in November after seeing this video. First off, the seat pad is pretty hard especially if you are going for long hours in it. Secondly, the head rest jiggles and makes noise anytime you shift around. Finally, today my tension adjust bar snapped out from the inside and I’m now locked in at the same lean back tension. For reference I’m under 200lbs and 6foot. I also noticed that Amazon says the product is currently unavailable… 😔. Trying to see if I can get it replaced by Colamy as we speak
Did you get it replaced?
Oh sorry forgot to update. They did replace the whole chair after a couple weeks so definitely good customer service 👍
@@WegoboomGaminghey, how’s the new chair? Are the problems still there or was the first chair just a bad product control?
I think it’s important to remember that Ryan isn’t a heavy guy- he’s on the shorter side and in good shape. If youre over 190, his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt…let alone if you’re like me and well over 200 and wide shouldered
hey the link underneath the video dosent worl idk if its cus i am in the uk but i cant find this chair anywhere except temu
I just bought this chair based off this video.
I have 3 complaints:
1. You’re right about the arms being too far forward, by a lot. I’m honestly thinking about re-installing them backwards to see if that helps.
2. Being just over 6’ tall, the seat depth adjustment isn’t doing it for me. I have it at the biggest setting and still I keep finding myself perched forward on the edge of the chair with too much space between the front edge of chair and the back of my knees. I think the rounded front of the cushion also contributes to this and makes you slide forward.
3. The lumbar support could go missing and I wouldn’t even know. Even pressed all the way back into the chair you can barely feel anything as far as lumbar support. A thin pad on there would definitely help.
And another note, I’m not sure on the technical jargon but I think the head rest is actually a 3-way adjustment. It goes up/down, tilts, AND it has another adjustment at the base of it that allows you to rotate forward so it supports your neck even while being in a more neutral position and not making you lean all the way back to get neck support.
After my first 8 hours in this chair my lower back is killing me. Going to give it some more time but might have to return it.
Did you end up keeping it or returning it?
@@celestial906 I kept it!
I don’t work in this thing 8 hours a day, but after some use it has become more comfortable or I have just got used to it.
After looking at a lot of other chairs in this price range, and even higher, this one has a ton of adjustments. Not sure there’s much better out there as far as adjustment options go.
@@nubetoob9292 I'm having the same issues as you did the cushion ever break in at all?
I feel like I keep sliding off by it's curvy design.
@@jimmyji8086 Sliding off the front of the cushion is still my #1 complaint with this chair. You just can’t get back far enough in the pocket of the seat where it’s comfortable.
I started using the chair 4-8 hours a day the past month and I feel like the cushion is breaking in now and I don’t feel like I’m sliding off as much as when it was new.
So the chair is still working out but another big complaint is that the dang armrests are cheap and just slide around every which way whenever I move or adjust myself in the chair.
If your lowerback is hurting, did you try to adjust that lumbar support. It sounds like its pressing in your back and thats is a weird sensation
I purchased this last week after watching your video where you named dropped them. I was not disappointed, the seat is very comfortable. The features are easy to use and work as expected. I bought it to replace my Nouhaus Ergo3d, which is a good chair, but the seat became uncomfortable after a while. The Colamy is miles better than the Ergo3d.
Awesome to hear! Glad it is working out. -Ryan
How's the chair still?!
@@microbefeeder I have no complants. It's solid.
@@mrcoins9473 Thank you for the response
unfortunately it does not seem to be available here in europe :(
I am also looking for this chair but no chance also for me in Germany 😮💨😭
about 80% of the chairs they review arent available in europe, including Eurotech!! :(
Have a look at Boulies, they ship from the UK in most regions of Europe, as well as the US and Australia. I'm based in the UK, looking to buy one of their chairs. There's a fair amount of choice on their website. Their EP200 series looks very similar to the Steelcase office chair shown in this video. Just in case you're still looking.
We got these chairs (Colamy Atlas) for our office, thanks to this video. They're really good for the price. Everything, from the seat to the back, arms, and headrest, is excellent.
The Herman miller Embody for $1800 and the Musso H80 Pro for $500 are both my pics. I’ve tried all the top tears chairs, and I’ve settled on these two.
Thank you for the review. One request would be add end of video summary graphics. Pros, cons, etc..
I found your channel when I was trying to decide on a chair I can use for practicing guitar. I don't know if any of you are guitar players, but, this is a segment that could use some coverage.
As long as the chair doesn't have arms, or you can move the arms out of the way, it should be fine. For performing I would just use a padded stool.
The Colamy Atlas is apparently not yet available in Europe. Does anyone know whether it is sold under a different brand name in the EU?
Olá! If you can wait, from July 10th we can buy this chair in the EU! I will!
@@Dbait_Podcastwhere? How do you know?
@@LowerLenz After this video and lower back pain problems, I wanted to buy this chair and Amazon Portugal aka Amazon Spain 🤣🤦♂️ doesn’t have it. So I went to their website and on shipping it says that. Just check it out. July 10th is the date! 🎊🎉
@@Dbait_Podcast However, I have now had the Clatina Mellet for a few months (here in Germany it is marketed as Ergotopia Next Back) and am very satisfied with it in the long term and can generally highly recommend it. Nevertheless, Colamy Atlas still makes me curious, so thank you very much for the information!
@@LowerLenz the Ergo isn’t shipped to Portugal… that’s why I’m waiting for the Colamy EU date.
Just put a thick sock over the back support and arm rest. Won’t look amazing but definitely an improvement.
I've seen Chinese content posted two years ago about this chair and it's called Citsol Crossing at that time, looks exactly the same but I guess this Chinese OEM stuff getting different branding thing just happened on every product.
In their comments, someone mentioned that you can switch left and right arm during assembly to get them more closer to your elbow when you tilt back; and also putting a towel between the lumbar support and the back can make it softer but also kinda more aggressive.
Other than this chair, hope you guys can test out the Sihoo C300 someday as they're both around $300 and also look decent in other Chinese content.
Mine arrives today! Looking forward to trying something else after about 5 years with a Secret Labs. My lower back needs some love lol
Keep us posted on how it goes -Greg
how is it so far?
@@Gha.1 sadly...not working for me. It's a great chair for the price but for me, only for work type stuff.
As I'm also gaming, I like to lean back and relax at times and the materials on the chair let my body slide down putting me in an even worse position for my lower back :(
So for work...great chair!
For gaming or watching videos and relaxing...hard pass.
@@rodennis418 ahh🥲 thanks for sharing
@@rodennis418 Anda seat kaiser 3
Just bought one for £240. Will be ariving in 5-7 days. I've had a DXRacer King series chair for around 8 years and I've desperately been needing a new chair but there's just so many and ugh, it's a nightmare. I finally decided on the Colamy Atlas and I hope it's as incredible as many of these reviews have been stating
What's your experience now you've used it for 2 months?
@@rawbhl It's great but it has developed creaking noises when reclining and sitting back up and just moving around in general which is a quite annoying... And for some reason the tension of how easy/hard it is to recline seems to just weaken over time and you have to turn the knob again to tighten it, no idea why it doesn't stay at the tension I've put it to (max) and there doesn't seem to be a lock feature for it so I dunno what's happening there. It's weird I just tested it, it will weaken (it's weak atm so it's really easy to recline which I don't like) and when I try to turn the knob to tighten it, it clicks as if it's max but it clearly isn't. I have to turn it all the way to the weakest tension and then back up to max for it to register? I really really don't get it lol
BUT... I'm still really happy with my purchase and it's FAR more comfortable than the crap I was sitting on even though that DXRacer was more expensive lol it's a great chair for the price I just wish it didn't develop creaking noises after such a short period of time (My DXRacer started to creak after years of use)
Yet another chair I can't buy because it is not available in Europe
My feeling exactly...
I was just thinking the same. Anyone know of a good channel that covers EU available chairs?
@@thom-novisihoo Doro c300
Was about to look it up online, guess I don't need to bother...
The clantina Millet is available in EU under the name Ergopedia NextBack 😅
I bought this chair and I do not recomment. Not an issue with the chair but how the process worked out. No invoice was given, the chair came with a crack near the knob (the box was a mess too, due to their cheap delivery option), and you don't get a 2 year warranty (which is a standard law in EU).
as of now (dec2024), on the website they state that it comes with a 3 year warranty, so I guess they improved things?
As a heavier 6' man, the Musso H80 Pro as a whole might be able to handle 330lbs but the cushion unfortunately can't take that. My weight varies right now between 295-305 and I bottom out in the chair brand new. I'd honestly say the max weight for the cushion is 250 at most. Everything else about the chair is pretty great especially for the price
Content is really great! Do you know maybe some ways or good products like cushion to add to an older chair to pimp it up?
The atlas is nice, but I think I am going to return mine because even though the depth locks, with it all the way out it gives me the 2 inches between my legs, but the lumbar support doesnt stay. and if i bring the depth in, the lumbar is great but the seat is too small. I don't know if I am using it wrong. but going to get something else.
Kinda kicking myself for getting the ticova now, so far I've liked the chair ok but the seat depth is something I'm really missing being 6'1 my legs just kind of hang off. I would've loved this with the seat adjustment but then again I did only pay $119 for the ticova. I plan to keep watching the channel and invest in a quality chair in 2 years or so. Keep up the great reviews!
I think that is the biggest takeaway. Is the Atlas better, yes. But the Ticova is still half the price. I think you have it right though, your ultimate goal should be to try and get into something in the mid $500 and up for a longer term investment when you can afford it -Greg
I'm right there with you - I purchased the Ticova without regard for seat depth, and at 6' 4" its starting to become unbearable. I'm excited to see something with adjustable depth!
@@btodtv After comparing the Amazon listings for the seat depth between the Ticova vs the ATLAS, I'm shocked to see that the Ticova claims 20.5" and the ATLAS only 17". The Ticova is far too shallow for my size, I would hope that the 17" ATLAS is the minimum setting and that it would adjust to at least 22" or beyond.. can you provide reference for the maximum adjustment setting?
@@voyager767hello! Did you end up getting any chair? I'm 6'5 and also curious about what would be good for our height
@@pawballer1964 Hello, I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet - still sitting in a Ticova. Will report back if I find one!
Was excited at the prospect of picking one of these Atlas chairs up, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available in the UK! I hold on to my chair a little longer I suppose!
It seems it will be available from 1 June 2024
i'm 6'2 240 lbs and i bought this chair and the steelcase amia for my disk issues and back problems do you think i made a good choice or i should have gone with a different choice ?
hi dude. what do you think of either of those chairs after 6 months?
I'm looking for a chair with great seat comfort for 8+ hours a day and I'm 300lbs and 6ft tall. The arms, tilit, and other features are not a concern. Any suggestions on a chair.
One thing for UK buyers it’s £683.. get the Ticova, I just got one for £130..
I love the features and the overall look of the Atlas chair, I just wish that all of the no-name Amazon chair companies didn't always use the fake chrome accents. Going with black, or the same gray color as the rest of the chair would make it look so much better.
I dont get it about that gap coming due to leaning back. Its not like you lay like this, right. Its made for upright position
I have just one question, is the seat soft and comfortable, or is it stiff and rigid? I have to sit for long hours and my lenzer chair hurts my coccyx and numbs my legs due to its firm seat.
That's an amazing video (a not super high prices chairs)!
Have you tried the Sihoo S100? Interesting to hear your opinion comparing it to other price range chairs
Could you review the sihoo c300?
Did you buy the c300?
Im choosing between the Colamy Atlas vs the Branch Ergo any suggestions ??
I bought the branch ergo. My back has never hurt this much
@@GeomeTeamCraftI got the Colamy and the lumbar also dug into my back. I had to return it. I’m considering the Odin lake 633 bc it now also under $300. But not 100% sure.
@@JackD1311 that sucks, I’m probably going to fold and just get the Arron but I’m not happy about it
Why hasn't your channel reviewed FLEXISPOT ergo chairs like the C7 or C5?
I am 6'1 but have a long back similar to a 6'4 person. I need a chair that can be adjusted upright so that I am not slouching at my computer and not being too far away from the screen due to wearing reading glasses. Any thoughts or brand recommendations?
Your Staples Hyken chair review was so true I had such bad backpain I had to be bed ridden an entire day with intense pain because I sat down on it too hard, shoots damage directly into the lumbar and tailbone. I switched to a Musso H80 Pro chair and it was mediocre but fine until it wore out. Now I am in some random OfficeMax brand it is the worst chair comfort wise I have ever sat in.
Which color of the Atlas is in this video. I noticed the links has 3 colors, but they dont look like this one. Is this that gray kinda color?
I don't like mesh chairs. Prefer genuine leather. What are options?

Is there a chair this comfortable that have removable or swivelable arms? I play and record guitar so that will help.
How does this compare to the branch ergonomic?
was wondering the same
is there something similar in black? or another brand that make the same chair in black?
What’s a better buy this or the tikova for 140$, I’m 5”3 around 185 lb
Has anyone had any trouble with the seat scooting out from the lean. I seen it happen in another review so its kept me from buying this chair.
have you tried their cheaper option COLAMY 275lbs Executive High Back Mesh Office Chair with Footrest Model.2577 ? 167 euro , mesh bottom with head rest , don't know if that is less desirable against ticova's pillowy base
Do a europe chair one! Please
Thoughts on this or the Vera? Which is more comfortable?
Vera is more comfortable IMO, the seat and back take it for me. The Atlas is still solid for the price point -Greg
@@btodtvthanks Greg! I was wondering why is there a price difference with the Vera on your site and the eurotechs website. Do you guys carry an older version?
Great review, how would you rank it in your tier list?
any way we could get the Colamy Atlas in Canada?
Really struggling with chairs and I can get the Ticova but knowing there's something better at that price range I can't get on Amazon is a little frustrating.
Hi I live in the Uk were can I get the Arlas in the uk ?
Would you say the Steelcase Leap V2 is worth the extra $300 over the Colamy Atlas or Musso Pro? I'm buying two chairs in the next month or so, so I want to make sure I'm getting the right chair.
Under 300 bucks - Clicks on link and it's 900 CAD with tax lmao. Can almost get a Herman Miller for that price.
Unfortunately it seems most the chairs reviewed here are from US manufacturers that do not export and independent web stores just quote ridiculous prices looking for the big fish in the ocean...
We are based in the USA, so prices we reference are in the USA -Greg

@@btodtv what is the manufacturer or oem factory name in China, I need my butt on this chair
Colamy is almost certainly the manufacturer selling this chair direct to the US market. That has to be why the price is so low. I am not sure what their factory name would be under. I need to do some digging. -Ryan
Ticova Ergonomic is atm for sale around 100€. is the chair really worth? i have problems beetwen my back shoulder blades. i like a realy soft backrest. is this chair something for me?
This or Eurotech Elevate if price is on par?
What do you think about the Amazon brand chair?
Would anyone recommend this chair for shorter people? Say 5'4"?
Nice, a new one!
Luckily all your videos and reviews are useful - at the very least to learn how to compare and judge chairs even if you haven't covered them. Still, it would be cool if you guys have the funds to slowly start trying other offerings from around the world. Not the best for business sense, I'm sure, but you have many other countries that speak or understand English, and like me, there are also American expats you're just teasing about what we're missing out on, lol. Where I am, there are brands like GTchair, Ergohuman, D'ergo, etc. and in Vietnam there's a startup serving locally called Epione. I haven't liked most of those brands but they all have have at least one model that is pretty good. But Epione surprised me with the only comfortable mesh seat and they're feature-packed. I doubt you could get your hands on an Epione, but the other brands are more international-ish, I think. Sihoo could also take some dedicated reviewing since I've seen others like the M18 and M40's firm cushions, and considering them decent picks, though the M57 doesn't feel good to me at all bc of the mesh. (All these chairs I've tried have been between $200 and $530.)
On a related point, if you still have women in the company or can hire some, we need more of their perspective - if not at least lighter / shorter people. I'm only 160lbs but apparently that's enough for me to not be able to handle any mesh seat apart from the Aeron and Epione's chairs (cheap meshes get a bad tension wrinkle at the forward edge). But my gf sits well on meshes and simply has subjective preferences on them.
Anyway, keep up the great content - you've guys have been a godsend for evaluating chair and desk options. Hope you can at least explore expanding a bit as I've suggested!
Does anyone know a good flip armchair under $300?
I am in a situation where price of the atlas and steel case series 1 is same price. For 12 years old boy what would you recommend

Pretty favorably. I think the Vera is better built and has a much better warranty, but if you're on a tight budget it is a great place to start! -Greg
Shame these models are always only available on the US Amazon website. And can't seem to find the same chair under another name like sometimes happens.
A lot of Amazon reviews cite issues with the armrests not staying in place once adjusted, but I did not see any mention of that in your review; can you elaborate on that? That is the only thing keeping me from buying this chair right now
I've also read those reviews before purchasing this chair. Now that I've had this chair for about a week, not once has the armrest adjusted unintentionally. The chair is exactly how the reviewer described it.
@mrcoins9473 Thank you! Placing my order now!
@@InkPncl How are you doing with the chair?
the armrests do not stay in place and the angle adjustment on the back is glitchy and startling. but all of that is ok compared to the headrest, the headrest is unbearable.
Ticova is $169 right now. This chair is $279. At those prices, which is more worth it?
Since you guys didn't comment, I bought aTicova with an unexpected $50 off. So it was about $120 after taxes. First impressions...meh. It's nothing to write home about. The lumbar support is strong, even on it's weakest setting. The tension in the lean is way too weak. I have to lock it or I go all the way back. The seat is okay so far. The headrest is back too far, so it's basically useless unless you're lying down in the chair. I'd rather lie down in a bed. You get what you pay for. I've always struggled to pay big bucks for a chair, not because I wouldn't use it a lot, but because it's a freaking chair. A chair shouldn't cost $1000, or $300. It's just a chair.
I returned it. It wasn't worth the $120 I paid.

@2:02. The chair DOES NOT go quite low. It doesn’t go low enough for a 5’8” person to have their legs at a 90 degree. There are many ergo chairs for the same price that go low enough and even lower. The chair seat is also undersized.
Yea it does. Your timestamp shows that it goes too low for me to sit in at the lowest point and I am 5’9”. It goes lower than most chairs. -Ryan
Ive heard this chair has some issues with tension adjustment for leaning back. Do you have any experience or information about that?
Ya’ll gonna review the Newtral Magic H chair? Seems like it has lots of customizability for its price.
What is the angle of the seatpan in the default position on this one?
Do you know how the colamy atlas compares with Colamys full mesh chair in the 4d flip up chair?
"Would you say the Steelcase Leap V2 is worth the extra $300 from BTOD over the Colamy Atlas? I'm buying two chairs in the next month or so, so I want to make sure I'm getting the right chair.
I love that I can send the Leap back to BTOD for service/restoring, but not sure if I'd be willing to spend the money to ship back to BTOD, when/if that day came."
I think this is a personal preference. If given the choice (which I am everyday) I would much rather sit in a Steelcase Leap or Amia. But that doesn't mean the Atlas isn't a better option for you -Greg
@@btodtv Greatly appreciate the honest answer. You and the guys do us all an immeasurable service with these reviews and keeping us comfortable for all price brackets. Appreciate you much!
How is this leaning back for console gaming with your feet up on a foot stool?
My ancient Aeron is worn out and my Mirra broke. Buying this Friday.
Did you buy it? What were your thoughts?
Branch ergonomic chair or this
This -Greg
How’s the backrest on this? I’m on a lower tier budget and have back upper back pain so I was wondering if this is a good option
Have you tested the South Korean brand Hara Chairs?
4:37 Just got this chair and the arm rests are a dealbreaker… they can’t be locked in place so if you prefer them being closer to you good luck because putting any kind of weight on them will make them slide forward or sideways. Incredibly annoying and I can’t believe it’s not talked about. Like how can you not mention that using the arm rests at all will push them out of position and adjusting them is basically useless??
Colamy Atlas reminds me of the Eurotech Vera.
Man I just bought the Haworth Assure cause it's on sale. Should I reconsider?
Thank you for the review. It helped me a lot . I have just purchased Atlas chair for black Friday.
How much did you pay?
You should try the hinomi x1
My order arrived today after catching this review. Unfortunately, the seat depth function is completely broken. The depth knob does nothing, and the chair depth freely slides back and forth, primarily forward as I reline. It is time to test that customer service out, but in my experience, it's never a good sign for long-term use when broken right out of the box.
Based on the experiences we’ve all had with FedEx and UPS, I can say with certainty that they will test every package that goes through their hubs. Good luck and report back please -Greg
I purchased this chair after watching this video and unfortunately I am going to return it. The build quality seems good overall, but the plastic lumbar support absolutely makes this chair a no go for me. After about 30 minutes I would feel that piece digging into my back no matter where I positioned it. I'm really not sure why they decided not to add some sort of foam or use softer plastic. The seat also bothered my tail bone after an hour of sitting. If people out there are liking it more power too ya, just not for me.
How would you rate this vs the Mellet with headrest?
the headrest of the atlas is terrible
Wow wish it was sold in Sweden to I would love a chair like that :(
Hey can you please review the Effidesk Aery Chair vs MotionGrey Cloud Mesh and your opinions on it? Thanks for the great reviews.
My opinion would be to avoid Effydesk due to their dishonest marketing practices of astroturfing. They like to pretend to be customers and make up stories about how great their products are. -Ryan
@@btodtvthanks Ryan, what about Motiongrey?
Ordered this chair for $260...AMAZING find. Just got it in today and it feels just like the embody for $1000 cheaper lmao...
It’s a good chair ?
I am still thinking about this or the Titan 2022 evo. I can not choose
I’d advise against the Titan. I’m going through the returns process on one right now because the seat is *rock hard*. Not firm, but hard. Extremely uncomfortable. I current have an 8 yr old DXRacer, so I’m not a stranger to firm seat pads, but the titan was the hardest chair I’ve ever sat on.
The titan 2022 is better. The XL is far nicer to have a wider seat. just my 2 cents and I own this chair from Atlas.
please compare it to the SIHOO m18!
What is the model?
Amogus
i was going to go with the ticova until i seen our last couple vids
how does it compare to an amia?
Amia is in a different class. It's going to be a significant upgrade. -Ryan
@@btodtv Found one used on marketplace for $125 but I think one of the arm pads isnt OEM. I'm looking to replace that one pad.
did anyone find this chair to a moderate price in europe? Ubuy us has a delivery fee of 1300 to switzerland. But i really want this one, since the review was great and it looks good too
Please i would love to find something, but the sheer amount is crazy
for me it says the atlas is $951 cad
anyone know why?
This or the mavix m9 lol. I have a mavix and it's comfortable at first but after a long seating session I get up with horrible tailbone pain it's unbearable
The Ticova is on sale right now for $120!!
Those of you sick of all the same chairs on these lists, the Musso H80 Pro is by far the best chair out of all of these. I am 6' 2" 230 lbs. its about $450 and its honestly like the Herman Miller Aeron but i liked it better!
this chair is $790 on canadian amazon clicking on your link...
