[@oricoh]

You keep recommending this Ticova chair. I took your word because you seem like a serious review channel and ordered one. This chair is a piece of GARBAGE: a. The sit depth is for tiny people or children (I am 1.83m/6ft.) b. The reclining has only 3 positions in the worse places. c. The sit padding is the worse part, it's non-existent. You literally sit on the wood/plastic (whatever is inside). I am deeply dissspointed and feeling betrayed, is it some amazon scam ? Are you affiliated with this terrible brand? I can't explain it any other way. This one will go back to Amazon unless one of my friends want to come and pick up this piece of garbage.

[@btodtv]

It's definitely not a high-end chair but it is the best all-around option I have found for under $300. The seat depth is not adjustable but saying it is for children is a stretch. Robert is around 6'2" and this is also one of his favorite chairs under $300. Having 3 lockable positions on a chair for this price is pretty good. Most will have one. Completely disagree that you are sitting directly on the seat frame. Again, this is not high-end foam but there is plenty of it to keep you off the frame. It sounds like maybe your expectations are a bit too high for this price range. If you are willing to jump to the $500 range, you will find a noticeable difference in product quality. -Ryan

[@oricoh]

@@btodtv appreciate your reply and view, thanks for that, but I expect a useable chair even for that price. Objectively I am a light person for my height. and I am sitting on a piece of hardwood. Right now I am debating whether to spend an hour dismantling so I can return it or just give it away. Its really a bad chair, and I am very surprised by your super positive reviews.

[@btodtv]

Your definition of usable will be far different than most people, in my opinion. I regularly sit in chairs that cost over $1500 but I could use the Ticova as my home office chair for 4-6 hours a day and be ok with it. It is definitely usable. Again, I don't think your expectations match the price you are looking to spend. Truthfully, I am not certain a jump to the $500 range would work for you either. I would probably consider getting something high end or maybe something that is refurbished to get a high-end product at a discount. -Ryan

I've been incredibly consistent with my under $300 picks. I have recommended the Ticova and Mellet consistently for a year now. I lean a bit more toward the Ticova now than I did in the beginning now that I have had them both for close to a year but to say that I have put one way ahead of the other is simply not true. I'm not sure what affiliate links smell like but there is a disclosure in the description saying we make affiliate commissions on these products. -Ryan

[@ShadowDrakken]

Given that a good office chair should last 7-10 years, I always wonder what the point of these KZbin first impression style reviews are? You don't get any sense of long-term comfort or durability in the couple of weeks spent making a video. I've been finding that basically all the chairs on Amazon are essentially garbage, with at MOST a 2 year lifespan.

[@mogensen84]

The Sihoo is a really crappy chair over time. I bought 3 of them just over a year ago .. None of them are holding up. They are squeaky and starting to fall apart 👎 I would bot recommend buying it, despite having good reviews on Amazon.

[@VoidlessOfSpace]

okay so i bought the ticova chair because I thought it was the best but, the lumbar support cuts into your back causes uncomfortable pain, the headrest has limited articulation, should've been double jointed, it was easy to put together but not worth spending 250.

[@krisreddish3066]

I found a cheapy but nice office chair never used near a dumpster last week. Not a single mark on the PU leather. The adjustments work fine, no bugs, decent stuffing. No recline or tilt to mess up, though it does let you rock if you want to. Even the casters roll smooth. Even has a lumbar pad that is decent thickness. Like a lower management chair it is build sorta cheap but functions fine and is very comfortable if you sit in one spot for hours.

[@lockedhidden1773]

Hey, is there any way to get most of those chairs shipped to the EU? Sadly all the good ones I see don't ship here to Germany, which is quite annoying.

[@SquirtlePWN]

[@btodtv]

Yea, very familiar. This is on the low end of the spectrum which is why I say “only”. This is a low price for an office chair. -RB

[@colinmartin9797]

what I've been doing for like 15 years now, is going to the junkyard and pulling a nice seat out of a car. They're like $10-50 at most, and you can find some truly pristine seats. Currently using some 1980's toyota camry seats that spent their entire life with covers on them so they looked brand new. Bolt them to an old computer chair base using a piece of 3/4 inch plywood. Boom. perfect seat that lasts forever. Literally forever. The padding was made to never go flat. Tons of adjustment. Basically free. Only requires a drill, $5 in nuts/bolts/washers from the hardware store, and a tiny piece of plywood.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

You should sell those as professional "gaming chairs" and make a fortune.

[@WilliamBarker]

Always wondered about that. They're made for lots of sitting, loads of padding, so why don't office chairs follow suit?

Agreed on mellet. After your previous 300 dollar video, got the Mellet. It is really good. And I weigh 230, and 6feet height. I usually use the chair 4-7 hours a day, and it is holding up great. I would also say, yes the lumber is annoying, and without it the chair feels much better. However, sometimes if you need some(or any) lumber for some time, you have the option to put it back in, so that is great. Keep up the great and non biased reviews 👍.

[@thesimonsons]

Great channel! I purchased a Mellet. It's a solid chair with good build quality. However I wish the seat pan tilted up more when going into recline. Have you noticed that? I also feel like the arm rests are a bit short and wish they had more adjustability. Would love to see a video on foot rests.

[@btodtv]

Thanks for sharing! Footrests attached to chairs or just ones that rest on the floor? -GK

[@FreihEitner]

Watching you guys' videos over the last two days -- for years I've wanted a good home office chair with a headrest (either built-in or adjustable) to recline in and even take the occasional nap. It seems like the best choices are sub-$250 (Ticova and Clatina) or above-$1,000 (Leap v1 as the v2 seems to not have headrest support that I can find). Nothing worthwhile in the $300-$800 range. I do greatly appreciate your reviews of things like headrest comfort, armrest comfort, seat and back, recline comfort, etc.

[@brettalan11]

I think it's sad how fake reviews are taking over Amazon, and I've learned my lesson 2 times now buying chairs from there - so I ended up at Office Depot, Ikea, and Staples a couple days ago and sat on all their chairs until I found one at Staples - a Beautyrest with 10 year limited manufacturer warranty and I got it for $279 on sale and added another 3 year protection for $50 where I get my money back no questions asked if I'm not happy. So far, it's working out great for me. I used to have an Aeron at my prior office job and that chair was SO comfortable, so I'm going to save up in a few years to get my hands on one. Also, for anyone considering gaming chairs, I sat on a few different ones at Staples and they were all terrible and no way can you last over 2 hours in one of those things.

[@Spike-qh2bb]

[@Zombie_Sire]

I 100% agree with you; that's exactly why I haven't gotten an office chair yet (it's been 3 months I'm sitting on a seated folding chair from walmart. ) My personal opinion is this: mind you I'm 6'0 135lbs; "not SHAQ by any means". They were all bad 2 out of 5 stars at the MOST. 3 out of the 5 of these products I have personally sat in for 20+ hours at my workplace. They were all bad 2 out of 5 stars at the MOST. There is one chair that is foam, but it has the slick foam covering over it at my work and reclines to 160 degrees!!! I'm trying to find it. Now if I don't find it then I'm just looking for a specific comfy FOAM back & seat office chair that also has at least a 135-degree tilt recline ability. what I'm asking for is fudging simple, it doesn't take a genius to make a comfortable chair. couch and recliner designers already have it made; but an office chair company doesn't??? also, all of these products are half mesh and half foam bs; and to add onto that they are all around a hefty price range for a shi**y product $100-300. Like that's crazy... definitely not worth the time nor the effort.

[@jedics1]

Like most modern products chairs are a suckers game, a 1 year warranty for a chair tells me it is designed to fail garbage. I noticed that none of the chairs here recline the back while also travelling downwards so the back rest doesn't slide up your back as you recline. Once you have this in a chair its hard to go back which is why Im hanging on to mine for dear life over 10 years in.

[@andyzubka2371]

I just got the Ticova from Amazon, the arms can move up and down, side ways and forward and backward, so maybe the product just change or maybe I'm lucky because yours was only up and down. I'm 6'1 and this chair is really great, the seat is really comfortable, the mesh back seems pretty good quality and the arm rest is very good and for the price, it is a steal.

Wish I had found the Millet chair when I was looking around a year ago. I ended up getting the Sihoo & so far it’s been great, I did add memory foam covers on the armrests. I also upgraded the gas piston with a beefier unit & swapped the wheels out. I was able to pick it up for $209 because they had a coupon when I bought it. I haven’t seen it that cheap since then though. After a year of use, it’s held up nicely & still looks & feels as good as it did brand new.

[@younglightskin2685]

This clatina mellet is being sold for 624$ on sale where I'm at 💀 I live in canada so the price range shouldn't differ that heavily, i guess inflations a bitch

[@thomaso6579]

its £1170 in the uk

[@seanhadley109]

Should do a giveaway 🙏🙏 I really need I nice chair for my setup

[@R3TR0--93]

people on amazon are having problems with the wheel base plastic failing along with the gas lift, falls through the base and hits the floor, some say after 6months of use

[@btodtv]

Yea, that's kind of the problem with this price range. The biggest issue is the quality. It is tough to find something in this price range that is void of any problems when it comes to quality. -RB

[@captronsolo8269]

I got the Ticova, and the only issue I have with the chair is the way the recline tension seems to work. It only tightens the tension for the initial 10-15 degrees of recline, and then is completely useless. The chair is nearly perfect, for the price, in every other way, but not being able adjust recline tension for the higher recline degrees, has me leaning towards returning it.

[@Shajirr_]

how is the chair now? On amazon I've read that its made from bad quality materials and disintegrated after 1.5 years, seat cushion is too hard, and nearly all mechanisms stopped working properly over time, and it became extremely squeaky

[@blankskater1]

Sorry this is long, but I could use some help. I have a Secret Labs Omega at home, and it's great for short (sub 3 hour) sessions (I find the seat too firm). Though I do wish it had a bit better lumbar support since my back injury. It fits a lot like the seats in my Mitsubishi honestly. That being said at my shop (where I spend most of my time) I have a really soft 10+ year old (executive style?) computer chair. It's really comfortable when sitting in it, but I pay for it later with back pain. Especially the week I worked 70+ hours. So I'm looking for something to replace it. I don't mind spending some money for a decent chair. But I'm not putting a $700+ chair in a shop either... The second chair you showed looked promising with the adjustable lumbar and mesh back. Do you have any other recommendations that may help me out? Thanks!

The Sihoo or the Ticovia, when both are the same price?

[@UCjbfttZaGiVq3DF7wPO]

Hello, I wanted to buy the Clatina Mellet or the Ticova Mesh Back, but neither is avaliable for sale. I'm not sure which one to pick whenever become for sale again. I'm in Europe. How could I decide which one would fit me better? Will they be avaliable again? Thank you.

[@btodtv]

Larger folks will fit into the Ticova better. We have zero affiliation with either brand and haven't spoke directly with them about availability or upcoming discounts. I would just watch Amazon -GK

[@oanmkoll1746]

Really appreciate the videos as I am looking for a nice chair for work/games ! What do you think about the Steelcase Please v2? Thanks!

[@marcoprogramma3615]

Hi and thank you for your great, great work! I'd like to ask you if you can find an alternative brand that sell the same Clatina Mellet in Europe.

[@MrConminer]

sadly I cant find the Clatine Mellet in EU

Hey have you guys tried the Bayside mesh chair from Costco? How is it compared to other chairs like the millet or markus?

[@awesomeguyat7771]

I’m stuck between this mellet or a renewed Mira/leap v2 from you guys so I get the 12 year warranty and the better chair, tough decision!

where can you find the Clatina Mellet in the EU?

aw its rly too bad cant find the clatina melet for under 300 in canada

[@JChanChannel]

I got the Sihoo , but I have to return it because it made my back so painful after a few days used.

[@xaytana]

I've seen a few variations of the Oline's split back style, I've been curious how well these could work, at lest in concept and not always execution. I would think the deeper all-mesh lumbar would be more supportive than a one-piece back with a bar or foam pad for lumbar. I wonder how this kind of design would do with the material and method of Herman Miller's Sayl's back, a sculpted elastomer material in a suspension grid of varying thickness for varying compliance; might be a good match.

[@melom8276]

is that a varmillo keyboard?

Fakespot is not a reliable way to determine if reviews are fake or not.

Mesh chairs suck, IMO.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

It's polarising for sure, I love them. But then again, I'm talking about high end mesh found on the Aeron, Cosm and Mirra 2.

[@NosyVoldemort]

Bought the Ticova last week, and I'm really happy about it.

[@gatubela_nay]

Is the chair still holding up? I just got mine today.

[@NosyVoldemort]

@@gatubela_nay I still use it, its a nice chair. my lower back needed some adjustment the first couple of days.. but now its perfect. The only thing I dislike is the wheels that roll to easy (can be a benefit for some). If I want to relax, and put my feet against something, the chair just rolls back. But the chair is really good in my opinion.

I bought the Mellet a few years back in 2019 but unfortunately I was too fat. The chair has a weight limit of 275 pounds and I weighed 290. They are serious about the weight limit. It still held up even after I dropped 20 pounds. I am 6 foot 1. The arm rests are a little hard. Still 4/5 for 4 to 5 hour stints in the chair.

[@Albertmars32]

How was the padding on the mellet after some time of use?

How far does the mallet recline?
