ULTIMATE Sihoo M57 Review | Hardware Sugar

[@hwsph]

Updated video: Sihoo M57 vs Sihoo M57 Pro kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWTEmGCKgL11iZo

[@FerdinandJosephFernandez]

For the armrests, I bought some generic PHP 380 armrest cushions which solved that problem. The ones I bought are memory foam, and had the exact same shape as the armrests on the M57 so that was great. Only problem was that they came with velcro straps, and they were too long, had to cut off the excess because they would dig into my arms sometimes. Anyone looking into getting armrest cushions, try getting ones that use a garter instead, that would probably be better.

[@Gimphuro]

Hello can you give me the link for the armrest cushions you got?

[@bluesrike]

Link please? Pretty please?

[@benedictocarpio9861]

I just got my Ofix M57 chair. Same build, same design. I agree with the frame of the. You can sometimes feel it, but not much of a detractor para mag shy away ka into buying this chair.

Why do you think they didn't?

[@Wild1Banana]

I recently purchased the M57 Sihoo chair and really like it allot and I am a new Mesh chair fanatic now. This chair adjustments are incredible for my home office. The assembly hardware for this chair is quality that makes assembly especially fast and drama free.

[@underthesun-ml4mu]

Love the video review guys. This is my first time stumbling upon your channel and have I never seen someone talk so enthusiastically about an office chair. The way you describe the chair down to its intricate details really solidified my decision to buy it for my PC setup, and the effort you guys put into the scenes are better made than most content creators I've seen on KZbin. Most content creators film in dark spaces, but watching your guys' video felt like I was inside a brightly-lit high-rise office space. Love the white and bright setting. as well as the face-forward mic setup. Keep up the great content.

[@nomysg]

You saved my life twice: 1st is when you told me that ergo chair is better. 2nd, when you pointed out which chair is good for the money. Thank you, HWS!

[@Rufus1004]

Bought this today because of your review. Chose the assembled one already. Same day delivery. 6ft 87kg here. Solid chair, the delivery guys even did a demo of the functions. So far so good!

[@Odnomah]

Hi, how's the chair holding up? I'm similar build to you and considering buying the M57. Do you recommend it?

[@Rufus1004]

@@Odnomah SLR. Yes, definitely recommend it. It feels durable. The headrest is a bit low especially for tall people sitting upright. But other than that I think its worth it. I also bought the foot rest in this video, sadly, I don't recommend it :(

[@theloneseawolf]

Hi! I finally bought the chair for my coworker which we are gifting for their first year and they are raving about it! I bought it from the shop which you recommended and I will attest that they have excellent customer support indeed so thank you for that. I just wanted to say, thanks for your review. Without it, I wouldn't have been deadset on getting it. I recently just got a PC build myself (sorry not from you but I will definitely consider it in the future as I upgrade) so I need to recover financially first before I can buy this for myself but hearing my coworker say it as part of her wins for our week (getting it and being thought of enough to receive that) makes me happy and I have you guys to thank for the very comprehensive review. God bless you and your channel. I will continue to support. At 82k subs, I still think your channel is super underrated for the value (and entertainment) you provide to everyone. Have a great week!

[@hwsph]

Hi Pau, we are super flattered by your comment and I, Rafael, personally shared your comment on my own instagram as a show of personal validation that my obsession with chairs has both pragmatic value for both our channel and our viewers such as yourself. I am further happy to hear that it not only brought joy to you but also to your coworker! There is no price on being able to make another happy, thank you for letting us help you with your gift. Stay safe and feel free to reach out to us anytime for that pc upgrade!

[@sebred2003]

i have the m82c and had it for 8 months and its been nothing short of amazing

[@Christian-tf6ol]

Hi, may I ask what is your height? thank you

[@cal7447]

11:17 Yeah these practical considerations about accessibility are surprisingly important. I've seen glowing reviews of other ergo chairs that may be superior to the M57 at a simliar price point, but just can't find them sold anywhere in my country (Australia). I was tempted by the Ergodynamic chair because of your praise of its reclining capacity, but there's no way to buy it. In the end I probably just have to settle with Sihoo simply because it's AVAILABLE

[@StevenDacuma08]

Thank you for your no BS review. Supplier is very easy to deal with. This chair is no BS damn this is so lit! Thanks TWU and Hardware sugar!

[@rainv974]

I just recently bought an m18 and was planning to upgrade to the m57, this video is so helpful because the armrest being too stiff is a huge dealbreaker for me. I guess I'll stick to the m18, thank you!

[@hwsph]

Glad we could help! You can solve this problem by buying one of those cushion attachments but that ruins the aesthetics. :)

[@iitmadrasgraded]

How is the m18 doing. How is the lumbar support.. Many reviewed it as hard as brick and painful. Are the arm rests soft enough.

[@rainv974]

@@iitmadrasgraded Hey, so far my only concern with the lumbar support is that yes it is stiff but it does help prevent you from slouching in some degree but not painful at all for me, biggest concern for me is how aggressive the headrest is and how strict the chair is for you to always sit upright. Not really a chair you can relax with after a day of work.

[@dairycow009]

my chair is more than a year old now and it's still the same as i got it last year. this chair is used at least 10 hrs per day. sulit!

[@elmerhablo]

I just got mine yesterday and it feels great! Word of caution to those with a height similar to mine (5'6") or lower, order a foot rest. My foot reaches the floor, but it's not comfortable enough that my thighs feel numb after a few minutes of use. Even at the lowest seat height, it is still not comfortable enough. The back posture though is great! No more back pains for me after hours of use.

[@derpsterPRO]

I am 1,63cm tall, do you think the seat depth will cause a problem with my knees in the seating? Im concidering this chair but im worried that the seat depth might not fit for me

[@elmerhablo]

@@derpsterPRO Yes it would from my personal experience. It could be fixed with a foot rest/stand though. I suggest looking for a better chair to suit your need. I plan to look for another one, sitting with the footrest feels different than naturally letting your feet down

[@derpsterPRO]

​@@elmerhablo thanks, this was what i was looking for i will keep looking for a good chair on my size!

[@blood.3709]

Im 5’4 and planning on using a foot rest cause my desk height is the default high 72 cm I think and I noticed because of my height I need to lift my chair height pretty high so my arms will align with the table, I’m asking cause you’re similar in height does the chair allows to get to that height? Or the max height is lower?

[@elmerhablo]

@@blood.3709 Sorry for the late reply, but yes. The arm rest can reach up to about 85 cm, but I have some paddings on my arm rest which are about 3cm thick.

[@gab_unior]

Thank you Hardware Sugar for this review! You are the reason I bought this, and sobrang walang sisi. Sakto naman sa desk height so walang prob for me sa armrest. And with the 2-year warranty ng TWU, at least may peace of mind ako. My previous one (another chair you reviewed, but I didn't saw that before my purchase) didn't even reach its first year ☹

[@XIAObasketball]

I've been using this chair since last year and this review is accurate! Loving it so far and I think it will last a long time. I got mine from Qube/Ofix which they sell as M16 XTM which is weird! The advantage is they have it on stock but only available in gray. I preferred the light gray but I didn't want to wait that time.

[@patkimcaps]

Sorry can you link me the chair. Thank you~!

[@pjguitar15]

I just got my Sihoo M57. Before this, I have been using my Sihoo M18 (which I sold already). I actually feel happy with it but my friends says that, Sihoo M18 feels more comfortable than this M57 because of how they differ from the softness of the seat. What are your thoughts about this? And if possible, can you make a comparison video of these two? Thanks a lot!

[@vedishhchauhann1177]

Both are very similar other than one is mesh and the other is cushion

[@alanbraunstein1692]

Are you still using the M57? I bought one and will be assembling it over the coming weekend. And, I already bought rollerblade wheels before I even saw your video; figured they'd make the chair glide better and safer. Looking forward to your reply.

[@dlsygaco]

This channel is always a good before you buy thing!!!

[@jujocom]

What chair would you recommend that features seat depth adjustment when reclining? Like when you recline the seat moves forward a bit.

[@hwsph]

Hi Jujocom, I haven't tried one yet for long periods of time. What I have tried for 20 minutes was the Herman Miller Embody which has that seat adjustment. It is definitely a good thing to have however after spending time with my Aeron, I realize that it's not required for every chair. In short, while I cannot recommend a specific chair with that feature, I wouldn't say a chair without one is a deal breaker. But I really should review a chair with seat depth adjustment. Thanks for the reco.

[@Foxism96]

Thanks for the review! What would be your option m18 or m57? Thanks

[@EZY3DLAB]

I bought the Sihoo M57 because of your first review and I am thankful that I did! It's waaaaaaaaaay better compared to the old gaming chair that I have.
