I'm very glad that you guys decided to review this chair, as none of the other large chair reviewers on KZbin have seemed to get this on their radar yet. I have spent the last week debating between the 5188 and the Atlas, and I decided to take a gamble and go with the 5188 the day before you posted this video. Ultimately, I favored the much better lumbar support (I have mild scoliosis in my mid to lower back), more comfortable armrests, and appreciated addition of a footrest (even if it is not the best) on the 5188. I also live in Southern California so having a mesh seat over a fabric seat was a plus in my book. Combined with the fact this chair has an adjustable backrest and I am a taller/larger guy (6'0 ft), this video helped me feel like I made a good choice with my purchase. I feel like you don't see this specific set of features and adjustments at this price range very often, let alone from a seemingly quality company like Colamy. Thank you for the review BTOD. I hope to see more affordable options from you in the future.

Love your reviews, always professional and not uselessly long. Are you ever planning on reviewing the Sihoo C-300 or the S-100? They could be alternatives for people who, like me, can't buy Colamy products on Amazon because they are not selling directly in some EU countries

Working at a Staples, my primary concern about this one is going to be if the mesh pulls away from the seat frame. Our Dexley and Kroy chairs have similar seats and have an issue with seat mesh retention failing within 3 years, which the Hyken has a different design that does not experience this failure.

@ElXtrick 2 ай бұрын

you may not believe me but i also worked at staples :P the hyken does have a weight limit if your exceeding 300lbs the mesh will have a streched or sagging look to it fairly quickly. (could be thinking of another chair but i believe the chair already sets a limit at 250lbs for the piston itself) out side of this, i agree the hyken is a pretty decent chair. the kroy i had to damage out. out of the box because the tearing around the rim and that was the display chair

How do you feel about the Colamy Executive Mesh chair? I need something with a headrest AND can move the arms out of the way. I sit at a L shaped desk, and find myself resting my right arm on the desk. So I need the arms out of the way. Currently it's on sale for $159: "Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair with Footrest, High Back Executive Desk Chair with Adjustable Lumbar Support, Headrest and Tilt Lock, 4D Flip-up Arm-Grey"

I picked up the Atlas a couple days ago. Solid chair. Great seat padding and back support. The headrest doesn't stick out enough but a cheap headrest pad fixes that. The arms are too wide out on the Atlas as well, even when moved all the way in. That's my only gripe but it's still very comfortable overall.

@justcause9334 2 ай бұрын

The headrest can be rotated inward. The manual doesn't show it but where it mounts to the chair can be rotated. Do not do it for the first time when it is attached to the chair. Follow these steps first. Disclaimer: I tried loosening the bolts that hold the headrest to the headrest mount. They would not budge so I did the following. 1. Remove the headrest from chair 2. place a cloth over 1 side that mounts to the chair. (the portion that has the mounting hole) 3. use an open-end wrench where it would mount to the chair. You can use pliers just be careful to not squeeze to hard damaging the mount. 4. hold the headrest firm with 1 hand and use the wrench to rotate the mounting bracket. Do this a few time time to help loosen it up just enough. 5. repeat for the other side keeping the mounting portions even. (start with both mounts rotated about halfway) 6. mount the headrest back on the chair. test to see if the headrest is where you want it. If not stand behind the chair and use both hands to brace the chair and headrest now rotate the headrest the direction you need. It will take a little bit of force to adjust it. Hopefully I explained this correctly. I do agree with you on the armrests being to wide. It would have been nice to move them in more.

same here mine came with a defect where if I apply my own weight the to the arm pads the arms would collapse down easily not holding down in place. I returned mine and have a replacement coming Monday.

I wonder how this 5188 compares to the other Colamy mesh chair (High Back Mesh Office Chair with Footrest) that is currently going for about $230. It's slightly smaller than this chair but seems to have many of the same features. Of course it also was being sold for about $130 for months so it may go on sale at Black Friday or during some other sale period.

this one doesnt work for me because mesh bottoms will wear out faster compared to foam cushion. Atlas is the winner. The branch ergonomic chair with headrest is better than this as well. I own both Atlas and branch ergo chair which are the best $300 range chairs imo.
