Best Budget Ergo Chair NO ONE KNOWS about! | Hardware Sugar

[@hwsph]

US / Canadian / EU / Australian Viewers: You can get a similar chair here: amzn.to/3Lvolei The Staples Hyken is similarly priced and checks off most of the boxes. There are plenty of reviews online showcasing this chair. I just can't personally vouch for it. :)

[@Shankintime]

Thank you for this!

[@acdyman]

Nope. Not even close. Hyken is OK but not ergonomic. Very basic.

[@IAMZERG]

@@acdyman I second this. I was initially impressed, but it hurts my butt after sitting for long periods. This thing is getting the boot and it should have happened a lot sooner.

mine literally just broke. the bolts pulled out of the back. the armrests are splitting. had it maybe 3 or 4 years.

[@malinbaby7011]

update on the chair?:D did u end up getting it?.D

[@satria2927]

In order to achieve ergonomic experience in your office chair, firstly, adjust the armrests to be desired 90 degree so that your arms dont feel unsupported/overly bent (i adjust it at just level 3/4). Secondly, raise the seat so that the armrests are at the same level with the table. If your feet is hanging, consider buying footrest or put some books below so your feet are planted firmly on the floor. Keep adjusting the chair to get the most comfortable position.

[@Nuxsiminati]

This is the type of tilting mechanism that I've been trying to find for months, thank you so much!

Not sure if this will be noticed but do you prefer this over Sihoo M57 or vice versa? The question came up because of their price now. 10.5k vs 10k respectively. Thanks for all reviews that you do.

Awww thanks Meekaa. Glad we helped you make the decision to take care of your back! :)

[@HopeProphecy]

I noticed that when you sit in the chair your back is not againist the back of the chair, and your head is tlited forward. Have you been able to find a chair that supports your head and back while you sit upright with good posture?

[@ignis2982]

I think you should buy a hydraulic powered adjustable table. Your problems with the arm rests does not lie on the chair itself but due to your table being unadjustable.

[@hwsph]

True, I could get a new table but that's added cost I don't want to get into. The fact that this chair has more height than that of the Herman Miller Aeron gives it a little bit more room for those of us who use old family tables or tables which are technically not work desks. I had a less professional set up a year ago

I have the newer version of the chair with the modified arm rest. I've had it for more than 2 years now, issues that I've had so far is the gas lift which I was able to request for a new one free of charge and the arm rest which is now crumbly and really need a replacement. Problem is they don't have a replacement part for the arm rest anymore :(

[@hwsph]

Yikes! I wonder why they changed the arm rest. The mesh was already perfect. Sorry to hear about your woes :( but thanks for sharing on the channel your experience with the new version!

[@laboratory009123]

What was your problem with the gas lift? That's one of my worries with chairs. Gas lifts tend to lose strength over time. My current chair (which to be fair is priced at 2k) already doesn't support me as well as it did when i bought it-it lowers down simply by sitting on it. It's been only a few months. Also, how were you able to get it replaced free of charge? Warranty?

[@luismance1958]

@@laboratory009123 It just didn't work haha. It didn't lift anymore when pressed and it stayed on the lowest height/settings. I just sent an e-mail with attached product details to their CSR. It took a while but I did not pay anything, even shipping. :)

Hello , do you prefer the ergo chair or Hermann Miller ?!

I prefer them for different reasons. I prefer the ergo chair I reviewed here coz it highlights that every peso I spent was a good deal! The Aeron is sort of like my reward for spending on something I didn’t need to replace for 8 years. Still working on my review of the aeron if it was worth it.

[@alexbautista3019]

How is the comfort / cooling tradeoff between a padded foam (?) seat like this one vs a mesh only seat ala Aeron? Im sure it's still better than fake leather, but does the seat padding make you sweat during long sessions without the AC on?

Yeah, I was scared changing my wheels at first but they come right off. If they don't you can use a screwdriver to pry it off.

Worst case, you can recycle those wheels when you get a new chair!

We have the same regrets. LOL. I bought mine for 3k php because I got baited on what the reviews was on it's lazada page. Now it's both a rocking and a creaking chair. Worst part for me is it doesn't feel like it has any back support at all so here I am playing with a poor posture.

After doing some "consumer stuff", I found out that the seller couldn't care less if you're going to buy it or not. They weren't replying to my messages at all. I also saw a review that tackled how suspicious the packaging is. According to the buyer, "This doesn't seem brand new." There is also a review about the "2 year warranty guaranteed," and it's all bullshit. The buyer owned the chair for 2 months. Once the reclining got stuck, they couldn't contact the store. So if you're going to buy this chair, go to the damn store.

We all had our fare share of issues because of manpower issues due to the pandemic, Globe, Smart, Pldt and even us considering we are smaller than these companies… hoping that clients can take care to buy only from our official stores in lazada and shopee or our website or better yet as you mentioned, best to visit our store. We do provide 1 year warranty for the Ehc-420 and Ehc-80 and we do offer better warranties for both chairs up to 5 years but with different price points. Usually the same is provided to project based corporate clients who can afford to pay a premium for the same chairs. Hope you can try it out yourself!
