[@Konstantin9292]

Hey, have you ever done review on Steelcase think V2? I feels like you did, but I can't find it. I found a good deal on the chair, but need to find a review to figure out if the chair is worth it 😅

[@Ahnestly]

No, did one for series 2 though

[@Konstantin9292]

@Ahnestly is it possible to get a link for it, obviously if it is easy to find ☺️

[@OfMicNMen]

I don't even need a chair that badly, but I've never seen a KZbinr go to such lengths to provide value for their watchers for free and without asking for my email address. This spreadsheet is amazing. I'm going to buy a chair just so you make money from the affiliate links.

[@Ahnestly]

I'm always so amazed by the generosity and kindness of people on the internet...seriously, thank you for the kind words. I stress out daily about whether I'm going to be able to keep the lights on tomorrow, the next day, etc and moments like this mean the world to me. I really appreciate it.

[@Huckleberry42]

This guy is the king of chair videos.

[@ZadiusTech]

6'4" 260lbs here, having owned the Steelcase Gesture if I were to do it again, I'd get the Amia with no headrest instead its much more comfortable for a big & tall person than the Gesture. The Gesture's back rest is too narrow for a Big & Tall person, but I must admit it's got best in class back support. I had the chance to try out the Amia after buying the Gesture and yeah its more comfortable for me. Also, if you do decide to get the Steelcase Gesture, do NOT buy it with the headrest I've never been able to get it to adjust so it feels right so I just don't use it and I wish I could remove it, but you can't after you order one with it. Good luck on your Chair journey everyone!

[@McBabe12329]

Just a note on the warranty from Crandle Office chairs, their warranty doesn't cover wear and tear of the chair. So as you use the chair, if the cushion starts to sag or the backrest isn't as firm or the heard rest starts to slip or the gasket looses effectiveness (you know, all the things that would make someone want to return a chair years later) because of normal wear and tear, the warranty doesn't cover it.

[@RedOni_YT]

I kid you not I wish you dropped this video yesterday. I was literally looking all day for a good chair. I watched a ton of your videos. I ended up buying the Herman Miller Sayl

[@Ahnestly]

It was supposed to release Friday, but the damn video wouldn’t render!

[@RedOni_YT]

Should I have chosen the Herman Miller Aeron instead of the Sayl? I’m also 5’6 and plan to be sitting almost in a hunched over position in the chair for over 8 hours.

[@Mr-R.R.]

​@@RedOni_YT but the sayl is literally perfectly made for shorter frames, so on that front, it's good for you on paper. The only real complaints you hear are from taller people that have issue with the top of the backrest digging into their shoulder blades. You shouldn't have that problem at all

[@formulaic78]

​@@RedOni_YTthe aeron costs double.

[@RedOni_YT]

@@formulaic78 The cost is not an issue for me. I’m just looking for a good office chair as it’s my first one I’ve ever purchased.

[@fatchihuahuas5493]

Yesterday I became the proud owner of my Herman Miller Embody gaming chair, and you video just made me feel even more justified in my purchase. You were right! Thanks!

[@grumpyyllama]

I’m 3 minutes in but I had to stop to say thank you. I’ve been STRESSING about getting a new chair now that I make okay money and will be a hybrid worker. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU.

[@grumpyyllama]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! 🙏 ❤

[@FURYzjEh]

nah there's no way the video quality and production is over the roof, thanks for all the work you're doing Dan

[@Kadoom1131]

Literally spent like 1 entire month trying to decide upon a good ergonomic chair ( i m 178 cm and 81 kg ) and after a lot of research i decided there were 3 final options : Mirra 2 , Aeron and Leap v2 . I spent 4 hours driving just to test all these 3 chairs and i was pretty surprised that the one i liked the most and felt simply perfect on my body was the Leap . If you ask me it felt waay better and supportive than the Mirra 2 and Aeron but every person is different i guess

[@Spiderman-lg9ju]

Amazing video, I appreciate all the hard work in making this for us viewers. I’ve been eyeing chairs for awhile as I put together my pc build. Great blend of information & humor! I might’ve seen one video in the past but subbed now.

[@NeonShores]

This is impressively comprehensive! I scored a used Zody from a local store for $100 during a moving sale and I like the chair but I really need a headrest so I might try one of those clamping Chinese ones just to get by for a bit....but I'm saving for either a Fern plus Atlas headrest or an Embody plus Atlas headrest. Just wish I could try them out before ordering since returns are a pain and costly.

[@micssu4948]

Nice video! One genuine recommendation for shorter people that I don’t often see mentioned is to choose a chair with the right **armrest width**. Many chairs have armrests set so far apart that they barely provide support for shorter individuals while typing. For reference, I’m 5'2", and a 16-inch armrest width is ideal for supporting me while I type. This width tends to suit people of similar height. I previously owned a Steelcase Leap V1 with non-adjustable armrest width, which caused a lot of discomfort. 16in armrest width doesn't leave us much options, some I researched qualifed include: Steelcase Leap V2, Steelcase Gesture, Herman Miller Embody, and Herman Miller Sayl. I researched budget-friendly ones too but didn't find ANY. I’d love to know if there are other options, and I hope manufacturers consider this need more for shorter people in the future. I've spent 10+ hours shopping the right chair and feel shorter people are often an overlooked group

[@tobiasjennerjahn8659]

Tall person here. I bought a Sihoo M90D about a year ago after I saw your review of it and I'm still super happy with it. Happy to see them show up here again. Seems to be a really solid budget/mid-range brand still.

[@Ahnestly]

m90D got discontinued unfortunately. I wish they had an alternative for it!

[@lolao9541]

I’m 5’2” and live in the UK but this video is so eye opening and informative. I’m still struggling to find a good chair for myself and since i’ve began working from home and gotten a PC, I’m noticed some lower back ache sitting in an old chair. Any advice? 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@thewhitewolffl]

I bought a new Fern, black mesh, fabric seat, lumbar support from Haworth. Then I bought the same Fern chair from Crandall in basically Like New condition. Overall, just as good as the new version.

[@litpaper]

so much detail in givining informations. LOVE IT!

[@DvdRonny]

I'm 187 cm and tested all available chairs at Staples and Walmart. Only two models felt good for my back: the Staples Rutherford (Luxura) and the Staples Carder. I found a used Carder nearby for $40, so I’ll go with that. The following models were terrible for my back, either pushing my shoulders forward and causing an unnatural curve or featuring headrests that dug into my shoulders on the highest position. Racing-style chairs were also uncomfortable, pressing against my back from the sides: - Staples Hyken - Staples Dexley - Staples Kelburne - Staples Sorina - Staples Lockland - Staples Emerge - A few unknown models from Target and Walmart.

[@DvdRonny]

My budget was about $300.

[@erikhansson9388]

I have been using herman miller embody the regular not gaming with atlas headrest for 2 years now. Best chair i ever own , and the headrest is fantastic from atlas

[@whocares0503]

I bought an Embody Gaming 2.5 years ago and I often wonder if I truly got the best for me... After the Atlas headrest I am quite happy. I just miss fully reclining, but the Embody isn't meant for that!

[@popcopone5172]

bro you should do a show room business for your area. charge people like 10$ or 15$ to check all the chairs out if they in doupt for which chairs they want to buy, or that are compatible with their bodies

[@Gidrah]

6'4" 250lb. I have neck and shoulder issues due to a pinched nerve and 7 buldging discs so head support is important, also like to have the option to both sit ergonomically correct and sit back and lounge. I hate the racing style chairs and didn't like the anda seat kasier 3 xl. Also didnt like the Steelcase Leap v2/plus as the back dug into my shoulder blades and I just couldn't get the back to get comfortable. Normal logitech embody same issue. Hated the Aeron C due to the hard plastic edges, i also like to sit cross legged and mesh isint great for that. Gesture seat was too shallow. The best back on a chair I've ever used is the serta hensley. Great high back with a large pillow for the neck. The problem is that the lumbar wears out and the front of the seat is too deep and high which puts pressure on the legs. It also has very high non adjustable arms which I ended up turning upside-down to make it armless but that causes elbow pain and I cant play controller games or lounge comfortably. Another issue is the back and seat move together when you tilt and doesn't lock into position. Its just being used because I cant find anything better atm so I honestly just stand at my standing desk most of the time. The staples beautyrest chair was comfortable for lounging but bad for tasking/gaming. Was interested in the fern with the atlas headrest but the gap when the seata pulled forward is a deal breaker. Still looking for a chair with a nice high back and plush head/neck rest that isint bucket style with adjustable arms. Currently looking at the Excebet Big and Tall on amazon and replacing its arms with 3rd party 4D arms. Feel like im never going to find something comfortable. 😢

[@RazzaDazza0]

Wow this is a great review and I can really see all the time and effort you put into it, its fantastic. Love your reviews they're so helpful :)

[@RitzCracked]

[@NamTran-dx7bs]

Thanks for the wonderful, in-depth video. It helped me purchase an Embody Logitech + Atlas Headrest.

[@labyrinthineone]

Excellent video, as always! I currently use the Sihoo M18, and it is the primary reason I went to this channel - to see what are suitable options to replace it. At ~2 meters tall, ~100kg in a WfH position, the chair bottomed out to the plastic within 6 months, rendering it quite uncomfortable. I putchased an aftermarket cusion, for it to be tolerable for longer periods. Additionally, the armrests are very firm and slightly concave (by default), which, unless the keyboard and mouse are precisely aligned with the shoulders, digs into the elbows. The headrest isn't bad, but is positioned above its notches to fit me suitably, so it moves around a bit. The backrest and lumbar support is adequate, not too impressive but no noteworthy drawbacks. I will be replacing it next year, likely with a LeapV2 from Crandall office. For those who use (or plan to use) their home office chair extensively, I would recommend not making the mistake I made and getting a higher quality chair.

[@KennyAims]

as a comp sci student sitting long and longer hours, many thanks, saved my back with a soji for 270 with lumbar

[@regaskassadin]

Hello, I want to share my experience with the Andaseat Kaiser 3 as a tall person. I bought the XL Grey Fabric version and I had to return it after a week of use. I'm 193 cm/6'4, I weigh about 100 kg/220 lbs, and the chair was genuinely unusable for me. No matter what height or backrest adjustment I tried, I had back and leg pains, I straight up hated the chair. The backrest is terrible, the top of the backrest is tilted in a way it forces me to slouch all the time, and in order for my back to be straight I have to recline so much to a point where I can't even see my screen anymore. The lumbar support is terrible, the adjustments feel like they don't do anything and no matter what position it was in it felt like my back is leaning against an edge of a table, the chair basically doesn't have any lumbar support, because I can't imagine anyone sitting in this chair and actually using the lumbar support. The worst part of the chair for me was the seat cushion, it's extremely firm, especially on the sides, I usually sit with my legs spread and the edges of the seat were digging into the bottom of my thighs, I couldn't fix that by adjusting the height of the chair (probably because of the cushion being so huge), because in order for the seat to not dig into the bottom of my thighs I had to sit basically almost on the ground way below the lowest possible height of my height adjustable table, but that way I couldn't even use the table. My issue with the height adjustment could be caused by the fact that I don't have a footrest, but I don't like footrests so I guess this chair just isn't for me. Also I am not sure about this, but the firmness could be caused by the fabric, I heard the fabric version of the Titan Evo is firmer than the leather version, so maybe it's the same for the Kaiser 3, or maybe the chair is just unusable without a footrest, but I honestly find it hard to recommend this chair to anyone even if you want to use a footrest.

[@Jayheuty243]

Great videos - i've been settling on the Vantum especially with the latest iterations on it. Noticed that wasn't mentioned in this video? Should i stray away from it or would you still recommend it as a good mid tier

[@livegoer182]

I would say most of the chairs for the tall people are for people AT 191, not 191+. I'm 199 and many of those did not fit me, sadly not the Aeron C either. And I really doubt the leap would fit

[@Phrish]

Forward tilt also helps take pressure off the sciatic nerve.

[@CursezZz]

I have had a newer Embody and an early one, the newer one was much more comfortable. I am looking at moving on to a Gesture, Leap V2, or Amia atm. Dreaming of an Anthros lol. Which do you think would be best? I am 5'10 about 200lbs. I like to sit criscross sometimes lol

[@Auntie-GingerTea]

Thanks for all your thorough & honest work!

[@sa1utethedead]

amazingly comprehensive! thank you, Dan, new studio is looking amazing too

[@Akemi2_1]

Currently have to wedge hose clamps between chair and gas cylinder because I sink down and had to remove arms because they don’t move. This video is much appreciated.

[@jasoncenami]

I wonder if the three dots representing the different sizes are duplicated on knock offs, could be a solid way to help aftermarket buys, 🤔🤷

[@Meaverickk]

Amazing spreadsheet my guy! I'm in the market for an Amia or Zody. Was going for Amia, but the officechair Reddit scared me away and then I found out about the Zody. I'm 5'10 ish, normal build (161 lbs) with a little bit of a stiff back and shoulders from sitting way to much/not working out so much at the moment... Which of these 2 do you recommend? Or do you have another recommendation / hidden gem for me! Also your All Regions link for the Zody does not work! Would like to check it out as I'm in Europe.

[@tallguyericreviews]

So, hopefully you see this soon I have to make a decision tonight. Haha. I currently own an aeron remastered, embody, and Steelcase gesture. I'm able to get a like new fern in the orange digital knit color for 400. I've never tried the chair, and I'm 6'5 so I wanna make sure I'm comfortable. The chair doesn't have lumbar, not sure if it has forward tilt, has the chrome base,. What are your thoughts?

[@LoganFPS]

Crazy i was literally just bingeing your channel for a new chair to buy as this dropped, Alright I was really looking into the AndaSeat cause i like reclining but ultimately went with the Leap V2 because i didn't wanna have to upsize to the XL of the AndaSeat as im just about 260 lbs but deal with the issues of it being too long of a seat as i am also 5'9 but the Leap V2 seemed to be an overall versatile chair as i move and change positions constantly along with a really solid warranty for a re-manufactured Chair. Overall great and helpful reviews and documents, keep it up man.

[@GraysonA]

What chairswould you recommend for cross legged sitting with headrest (or high back)?

[@harrisonconnelly3173]

I bought a remanufactured leap v2 and it was an amazing purchase. Wish I got to try the Amia but was ultimately sold by tilt lock and flexible back

[@screaminjesus]

yeah I recently got a remanufactured leap v2 from btod and it's great

[@sunnysideup559]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that forward tilt is no longer available on the regular sayl chair, its a gaming sayl only feature now. I was informed of this by a representative. You can still special order the forward tilt on the regular sayl, but you forfeit your right to a 30 day return period. Great vid as always!

I’m 6ft tall and something I’ve noticed over the 3 years I’ve owned the aeron size c is that I think I need a chair with more upper back support as I always have upper back pain sitting down, regardless the aeron completely removed any lower back pain.

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Do you have one with the PostureFit SL? If so, have you tried reducing it a bit, so you can sit back further in the chair and maybe make more upper back contact with the backrest? Just a possible suggestion. I noticed having my PF cranked too high caused a lot of problems with the chair that all went away once I got that adjusted right.

How do I pick between leap V2 and Amia? I have no local stores near me unfortunately, looking at Crandall reman options. I do play guitar as well seems like leap arm rests go lower to give more clearance, thoughts ?

[@RonniPerez73-T]

Hi Dan, Could you try the Herman Miller Verus in the future? Due to the import prices to my country, many cheap chairs are greatly increased in price when purchased on Amazon, for example the Branch ergonomic chair that would cost me around $800, at a similar price to the Herman Miller Verus, which has a distributor in my country. I am not going to buy an ergonomic chair anytime soon, but I want to save up so that in the future I can afford to buy one, and that is why I suggest that HM model, as I find it an interesting model and I would like you to review it in the future, also because I enjoy your videos.

[@Namu4Life]

Heyyo, thanks for a really great 2024 buying guide for chairs! I am in need of a recommendation for a comfortable chair for standing desk and I will be coding and staring at the monitor all day meaning I’ll be in the chair for long periods of time. I am 5’5 and I’m a college computer science student. My budget is $800 to $1,500. I am looking at the Zody 2 (Digital Knit) and Zody Upholstered (and maybe the Fern Digitat Knit??).

[@Ahnestly]

Hey! So I made a slight error here in that both the Zodys have the Perch mode which is great for standing desks (as I showed with the Haworth Zody Upholstered). Just keep in mind that there is some play in the tilt because of the ability to tilt forward so far in the perch mode. My editor loves the Zody mesh, and I think it's a great chair, but I'm a Haworth Fern digital knit kinda guy bc of how soft the backrest is. Also love lounging back with it (goes pretty far back). Sitting in it right now as I write this (it's at my home office). Hope this helps! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Helps the channel a lot!! Let me know what you decide on

[@Namu4Life]

@@Ahnestly Hello, thanks for the quick response! It sounds like both the Zody and the Haworth Fern have their pros. Since you prefer the Fern for its soft backrest and lounge comfort, would you recommend it over the Zody for long hours of coding and study? Also, how does the tilt ‘play’ in Perch mode on the Zody compare to the Fern’s recline for overall support? I’m trying to decide which would be the best fit for sitting long hours at my desk, especially since I’ll also be using a standing desk. Note: This is a re-uploaded comment because KZbin is being dumb again (Does not mention your name for some odd reason after @)

[@Ahnestly]

​@@Namu4Life Both have been great for me for long sitting sessions. Overall, yes, I do prefer the Fern over the Zody!

[@rosenkruez2]

That Steelcase Karman high back doesn’t seem high enough for tall people. Haworth Fern seat depth is way too short. I’m not sure how xbox one solved the issue.

[@Adam4]

Dan, sorry if I missed it in the video but could you talk about the Atlas headrest shown on the Fern? It appeared to have stretched/loose fabric, is that something you did to it or has it developed over time? The black one you show later in the video appears to be in perfect condition and they both appear to be the cushion type. Thanks.

I'm a tall freak of nature... And you're the GOAT great video bro

[@eddie-k1b]

Great video! As an average sized human, is it comfortable to sit cross-legged on a HM Aeron size C even with the plastic edges?

[@Ahnestly]

No it doesn’t really change things that much. I got a size C back when I was experimenting with chairs and I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t adapt to it. The B felt so much better. So the sizing matters on the overall feel (at least for me) and I don’t recommend you get the bigger size if you want more space in it

[@Lucas-f7k]

Herman Miller Aeron is about having a good posture. Def not the chair if you want to sit in any other way. However, it is fantastic otherwise.

[@lucaslee1483]

Did you ever hear back from Branch about the seat on the new pro chair bottoming out?

[@Ahnestly]

Haha dang not used to hearing 6'1 likes to sit cross legged! Your weight is perfectly within the range of all of these chairs, so something with a big seat pan. Racing style gaming chairs seem to be your best bet - either the Kaiser 3 XL or the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 XL! Titan Evo XL is bigger than the Kaiser 3XL btw. I'm reaching out to Secretlab for their new NanoGen chairs...if the seat is softer, could be my new #1 recommend

[@sivabalanj]

I really like your videos, I am searching for a chair for around a year now... couldn't find a good one... i have a budget of around $200 its really sad that most of your recommendations are not available in South Asian countries. : (

[@Noneya5555]

Dan (or any viewers who know), do you plan to review the new Secretlab Titan Evo NanoGen Edition? Also, would you suggest the Crandall refurb Leap v2 with or without the new backrest cushion? I've read that some people commented that it makes them feel as if the padding is pushing them forward in the chair. And am I correct in understanding that, because of the perch function, the Zody has some play when locked in the upright position? Even in chairs without the perch option? Lastly, given that chair makers state that customers void their warranties when they apply aftermarket accessories, does the Atlas headrest do any permanent, noticeable damage to the Fern's fabric when installed?

[@Ahnestly]

Hey! Had no idea about the new NanoGen edition. Reached out to see if theyd be willing to send over for review. As for the Leap v2 with backrest cushion...I personally never thought the Leap v2 had insufficient cushion on the backrest. The seat, definitely, but not the backrest. As for the Zody, yes there is some play, but every chair has some play (no chair is fully locked in the upright lock!). As for Atlas Headrest, I won't speak to the long term since I just don't know, but in the duration I've used it, it seems fine. Also, don't let them fool you - warranty can ONLY be voided if the third party accessory clearly led to that specific failure. For example, if your leg breaks, they can't deny you warranty. Or just take it off before you call and say "headrest? What headrest?"

[@Noneya5555]

[@ryansidhu4242]

Ever get more intel on the seat pan depth for the fern? Was it specific to the xbox version or did it get ported to all models?

[@Lucas-f7k]

The seat gap sucks on both versions. It's only a little better on the Xbox version because the leather stretches less. If you are tall and need to put the seat forward your butt will hang off the back. They need to fix this. I like it in many ways over the steelcase gesture but the seat gap is a deal killer. The gesture doesn't do this if that's a factor for you. Also stock headrest ion the gesture is 100% better. The Fern headrest is horrible.

[@steamboatjoe7198]

Not sure if you are aware but Crandall Office and Atlas will be selling a head rest for the Leap V2. I think they will be taking pre orders in the near future.

[@Ahnestly]

It feels comfortable enough to me, but maybe I don't know what a much better chair feels like. I'm actually looking for a chair with the most possible lumbar support, I need more than the average person or I get back pain. Do you know if the Leap V2 has even more support? Or can you recommend any other chairs with that in mind? I'm still in the return window for the Branch chair.

[@Ahnestly]

Leap v2 does have good lower back support, but it’s not necessarily the best at increasing intensity, and better at hugging your lower back. I’d say the Anthros is by far the best…but not sure what your budget is. The Haworth fern and used aerons offer solid intensity lumbar and are a little less pricey

[@cede30]

HM Mirra is not a great chair for the money. The armrests droop down so it's not comfortable to rest on them. The seat also ends too early, so you constantly feel like you're going to fall off of it. Maybe shorter, smaller people find it more comfortable, but I'd take a look at the Hayworth Soji.

[@IsSOfficialY]

Hey, I really need help. I really prefer a low backrest/lumbar support, and its really important for me over all of the other features. Should I go with Sihoo M18 or the Staples Dexley/Hyken?

[@Ahnestly]

All 3 chairs utilize similar lumbar support. Padded lumbar pad that can be raised up or down. Not too much customization in those chairs. But 2 are mesh and one is not, so that’s probably where your answer will lie - which of those fabrics you prefer?

[@marcstoyer]

Absolutely legendary
