Okay, but it's ASUS. If it breaks, they're going to laugh at your warranty claim. Or, try to make you ship an entire chair back. Hell no, this is some downright sellout shit right here.

[@LuIbasaur]

I have this chair. The lumbar broke because its two adjustment knobs and if they aren't at the same level then one side gets more pressure and breaks. The knobs are plastic so they can't take much pressure. They want me to ship the entire chair back and pay for shippping.

[@kankanarock3443]

I have always felt that desk chairs don't seem to think about the user spreading their legs wide and sitting cross legged on them, this one seems to check all the boxes. Loved how you mentioned these facts in the video.

[@Ahnestly]

Hey I appreciate that! When I review chairs, I try to think of the every day person sitting in chairs, and not the "researchers" / "marketing" peoples takes on chairs, since research and reality don't always align! I'm glad it was helpful for you!!!

[@xavierfranco5800]

@@Ahnestly I love to manspread when I'm watching movies/tv/streaming on my computer. I like that this chair lets you do that.

[@jurajchobot]

It looks great. The lumbar support is also great for people with scoliosis, as you can adjust the screws to two different heights, let's say right side of lumbar support will stick out to help you straighten your back.

[@shoutingstone]

Proper lumbar support and getting rid of the silly posture destroying bucket wings already put it head and shoulders above the rest. Lots of plastic parts for a $900 chair though. Things are moving in the right direction but i'd still pick a decent mesh office chair over this for 1/4 the price i think

[@rodeaglerod2715]

Highly recommended, 1 month with it no issues, got it for around 530 dlls in Mexico, work all day without any buttock pain as my last gamer chair would give me.

[@scarytime6420]

its a decent chair, I bought it yesterday, only draw back is no padding on the back coccyx area not that I'm worried because its built in such a way that you don't ever feel it depending on how you sit would just be nice to have that reassurance like the padding on the front over all 10/10 I couldn't afford a 2600 aud Herman miller this was a great middle ground alternative.

[@LuIbasaur]

If you don't have the two knobs for the lumbar at the exact same level then the threading from one of the knobs will break. I've had this for 6 months, been real gentle with it. The right side knobs thread broke so now its just stuck at the lowest level. Only way to get it fixed is if you send the entire chair back in for RMA and you gotta pay for shipping.

[@crm484]

Just got it home and assembled. Positively surprised about it. I sit very comfortable and the mesh is nice. I was very curious since this is my first mesh chair, and I really like the breathability! The "tilt" does not have the space in the last t. Headrest can move but I have to give it some pressure. The arm rests move, but not as easily as seen in this video. I did not attach the acoustic panel. I do not like that you have to press that much on the mesh when attaching it. Seems like a thing they should change. But overall very happy. Now I just hope it lasts me a couple of years.

[@hongoverr]

Would like to see how this "fabric mesh" does against time. I've had some mesh office chairs and over time it tends to fatigue and lose tension, resulting in a saggy seat lol. All in all great review!

I had a mesh gaming chair for 5 years (Vertagear Triiger350) and thing never gave up. Loving my new Destrier. Everyone with negative comment toward this char have not tried or owned one yet.

[@AdamsOlympia]

I bought my Herman Miller Aeron second hand over a decade ago and it's still as taught as it was when I got it. Only one mesh fiber is broken at the top, where my cat got her nails in it. Surprisingly she hasn't busted any of the others, even though she's been a bad kitty more than once. This stuff is surprisingly durable.

[@Ahnestly]

Yes! I should have clarified, but by "gaming", I was comparing it to its racing chair style counterparts, not the HM Gaming line (because most of it is just a paintjob with the label "gaming")

[@Grymyrk]

I just got this chair and I have a few things to note. I wouldn't want to be taller, if you're taller than 5 11 test the chair before purchasing. The headrest can't go very high. The instructions have been fixed. The TIL T printing has been fixed. I wish it tilted back sightly more. No quality issues, this thing is solid. The chair is not overpriced. You get what you pay for. And it looks way better in person.

[@Ahnestly]

THEY FIXED THE TIL T??? They offered to replace my mesh back, but not that. Glad you love it!!! Headrests typically go on the neck, not the head, so you can be taller than 5’11, BUT if you really want it on your head, I think you have a good point!

[@Grymyrk]

@@Ahnestly I have the headrest under my neck at max hight. So I'm thinking it would be a problem if I was taller. If I wanted it under head that wouldn't be possible.

Apparently the arms go super high for when you're using a handheld gaming device, that's unique thinking. I like but not in love with my Secret lab, so tempted by this as I do prefer the breathability of mesh in australian summers and want more lumbar support, it really must be hit by supply issues because most places it's sold out here when I just did a quick check, thanks for showing never would have seen it otherwise!

[@S0Cuber]

I followed your review and decided to get this to replace my racing seat, having already tried Aerons and Leaps at my school campus. I also considered the Fern, but the seat was too narrow. Despite the warranty and the arm/head rests being a bit loose, It is without a doubt the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in. I feel secure in the chair, and the recline is the best I've tried. The seat is roomy too, and it can fit my body incredibly comfortably. OH! and the adjustable lumbar is absolutely amazing on my back. thank you for the reccomendation!

[@Ahnestly]

Whatttt yo I'm so glad you love it!!!

[@S0Cuber]

@@Ahnestly Yeah! The thing I really didn't like about the aeron is that the recline always made it feel like the back of the chair was always moving away from me, making it uncomfortable to sit in when trying to be productive. I always wanted a full mesh chair because of how quickly my body heats up, making a cushioned seat a bit of a no-go for long-term tasks. I'm still shocked at how much of a perfect fit this chair is. (No, I was not sent by asus. I just genuinely love the chair and think it gets a lot of flack)

Destrier means "mount" like a horse, in classic french, it's not very used in modern french, but a medieval knight would use the word. Badass name xD

[@The.Sky.Driver]

I've been using a full mesh chair for about 4 years now. While it's really nice to sit in (kind of the point), It collects funk like nothing else. The horizontal planes below/near the mesh just become petri dishes that stack dust, hair, you name it. Even with a normal cleaning regime, it's a very big pain point. I think my next chair will probably be much simpler in design with an emphasis on ergo without mesh.

Actually looks quite good, Even better than my mesh ergonomic office chair. I have had 2 expensive gaming chairs in the past and they were terrible, They all have that flat back rest and just give you a little uncomfortable pad with straps. When this office chair wears out I will look at the ASUS chair, May as well match the rest of my PC ROG setup.

[@sniperz123]

Hi Dan, want to double-check with you. For the seat depth adjustment from 5:20 - 5:41. Do the armrests move with the seat base? If it does, it would mean the armrest distance gets further away from the backrest if the seat depth is extended.

[@markvanyo4302]

At 1:43 and at 5:36 I saw the arm rests move at the same time as the seat pan or bottom. The beauty of the arm rest pads is you can rotate them 180 degrees to offer more or less support. I'm a new fan of this channel as I browse for a new office chair I don't really need.

[@informedchoice2249]

Something that people rarely discuss in reviews is the softness of the mesh. I recently bought the Ticova and the stiffness of the mesh was quite a disappointment. The first mesh seat I sat in was lovely and giving. Sadly I forgot which one it was.

[@ubacow7109]

FYI the physics for the soundshield do work, they're still good for headphones esp for open back if you need more external noise "canceling" There are plenty of cheap Ikea chairs that actually exploit this factor without putting it in marketing but it really does reduce the local noise around you. If asus wanted it to work better tho imo they should have made the rear piece not from plastic so the sound doesnt reflect back forward as well, but otherwise putting soft objects around the backside of your head & ears makes a huge difference in the level of noise reduction, and its great for speakers in particular. I dont think its a gimmick, i do think more products should use this simple but effective design tho.

[@bleachedwhale]

I have the Fern in digital knit, and I'm genuinely interested in how this chair holds up over time. I love the Haworth overall, but it is undoubtedly an ergonomic office chair first and foremost, with a firm seat and a long break in period. This chair seems like it might offer a better first impression if you're not used to high end ergo, or you plan to primarily use it for gaming and lounging. My other seat is a Shaquille O'Neal Nereus, and I would undoubtedly take either one of these over that monstrosity.

[@mgmabone8143]

This chair looks awesome all around but I need to know if you can remove the arms. I have always just preferred them off with my chairs and that can be a dealbreaker for me.

Hopefully the material is reliable. My 1999 Aeron is still operating like new, replaced mesh, gas struct, casters, bits and pieces here and there over past 2 decades via parts from ebay. Whereas my secretlab and autonomous were plastic city, became junk after couple years, not spare parts.

anyone got a long term update to this chair? was thinking of copping it soon to replace my razer iskur

[@T-Ranch-Au]

48hrs until I take delivery, I hope it lives up to the review 💪🏻

[@Ahnestly]

let me know how you like it! I had 2 of my friends in my office and they were surprised at how good it was (they both were VERY skeptical) haha

[@T-Ranch-Au]

@@Ahnestly I LOVE this chair. Just completed assembly. It is SO wide, accomodating, and comfortable. Should the apocalypse come, I will seek refuge in this chair. It is supremely comfortable, 1/3 the price of an embody gaming variant (in Australia) and also it is built as strong as a fallout shelter. S-tier from me. No less than an A+. It is now in full time use in my office.

[@SubdueOG]

Awesome review, probably would’ve considered this if it was out last year before I picked up the fern. Great job Dan!

[@mnap89]

Looks nice. I like the mesh - its not loose. Dont like the design because its too gamer looking - but that is to be expected from asus. Dont like its only back support that tilts. I preffer how Aeron tilts.

[@Ahnestly]

It’s not only the back that tilts! But yes, aeron has one of the best tilts in the game. ASUS uses a good quality synchro tilt (watch my part 2)

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

This rivals the steel series leap for me IMO but idk cause I have neither. I still think the steel series Gesture might be king. IF this was customizable and actually in stock, it would definitely be between the S and A tier.

[@Ahnestly]

First of all, I saw your other comment and died laughing. For some reason, I read it in Keith David's voice (not sure if you watch Community, but esp as his character Elroy, when he said he had a problem with complimenting white people). Second, Gesture has to be king here bc of the warranty! But I was surprised at how much I liked the Destrier. Wish it had a more solid warranty!!

[@jonny4036]

Chair looks nice my main issue is that with other chairs in that price range you get a 10 year or more warranty. Asus has a 2 year warranty. Definitely would be hesitant to spend $900 on a chair with a simple 2 year warranty.

[@Snapshot.Stories]

Lmao who gives you 10 year warranty in this price range? Only one that I can think of is Herman miller

[@trh4388]

what other chairs with the tilt lock and mesh back and mesh bottom? I'm closed to buying the Haworth Fern but it doesn't have the option to lock tilt which for me is a deal breaker

[@bleachedwhale]

@@Snapshot.Stories Steelcase and Haworth also have chairs even below this price range with longer warranties.

[@Pago88]

Backforce One does. And it cost around 650€

[@animes32]

Got mine in mexico by 530 USD, I had the same issue with the instructions, so far I love the chair, best one I ever got.

[@thegochie]

Do the armrests move closer to your ribs though? That's what I really need in a gaming chair. The Secret Lab ones don't get close enough for a true ergonomic position for typing.

[@Maradnus]

Ill stick with herman miller thanks. I picked up an Embody new for less than I am seeing these for sale. I can guarantee that the herman miller is going to be a lot more comfy and last much longer.

[@Ahnestly]

Agreed! By gaming chairs, I was referring to racing style gaming chairs. For HM, the gaming line is mostly rebrands of existing chairs

[@Maradnus]

@@Ahnestly I agree 100%. sadly the embody or the aeron don't have headrests.. well not factory ones at least. that would go a long way to changing the market I think. as thats all thats missing, from a few friends that I have who chose gaming over the embody they all said it was for the lack of a headrest. I have never liked those bucket seats!

[@quafee]

I’m currently looking for a new office/gaming chair. I just had surgery to remove a disc on the lower part of my spine. My budget is

[@slvrization]

How sturdy the armrests are? any squeaks? wobble? And how's the noise from the chair in general?
