SAVE MONEY and avoid at all costs these Chair Types!

[@DaveTriesToPlayGuitar]

Your referral of caster wheels way back then on your past video about chairs changed everything for me. literally a must buy on every chair that has wheels now

[@peterpandamdager5050]

I bought a sihoo m57 because of your review. I've been using the chair for a year and a half now and I have no issues with it. Pretty sturdy and durable. I wish it could just recline a few degrees more and they could have use a better material for the arm rest.

[@hwsph]

That's exactly what I thought too!! Right on point. Just a little bit more recline and better padding!

[@CodeKwento]

We run a coworking space and this review really helps.. We actually purchased cheap chairs to kickstart the business but we are now in the market of buying new ones in bulk.. Will keep these in mind.

[@hwsph]

Hi Code! We are hoping to attract more people like yourself who are in charge of supplying the ergonomic products in the office space, that way more chair companies send us more products to review. Thank you for helping us out for tuning in!

[@pkpnyt4711]

I wanted to thank you for helping me choose my latest chair the T50. I was actually about to buy a Secret Labs chair before your video helped me go a different direction. I actually bought this 2 years ago (saved me about more than 3k compared to the Secret Labs choice) and its still going strong to this day. It's super comfortable and it's helped me sit down for longer periods of time without suffering from back pain. Edit: I got a red and blue seat cover for my chair. I love them both!

This is one of the most informative video regarding Ergo chairs i've seen. Thank you, sir! And i agree with you on everything. I've been a user of the Sihoo M57 for 4 yrs already and it still works great til now, i've also referred M57 to my brother who weighs more than 90kg and he loved it to this day. 😄

As a Sir Rafael aficionado, a bonus tip he likes to use is buying things that he'll use for life. That's probably why he has a Herman Miller and a LaZBoy 😛

[@hwsph]

Naks! I'm glad you remember that I mentioned my sofa brand years ago, Liam Magnaye! I'm still concerned that Blims wasn't truthful about the type of leather of the sofa. :p however it is definitely some level of durable leather as there are no peels yet!!

[@regdon_4]

Quick question, if you switch to rubber wheels aka rollerblades from your factory wheels, are there no cons to this? Such as the base of the wheel breaking if its plastic or bending if its metal. Because the rubber wheels are kind of tall and I think if would put some pressure onto the base.

[@Icriticrandomthings]

I think the reason why it has less reviews than the gaming chair ones is because compared to the gaming chair, it doesn't fit to the taste of younger people who are into gaming. Those younglings who are into gaming have watched a lot of famous youtubers/streamers who are also using gaming chairs thus it makes them want to have the same kind of chairs too. Us "not so much younger than them" peeps (lol) are way past our "gaming kid phase" and ushered more into a more professional aesthetic rathen than the gaming feels.

[@Icriticrandomthings]

Also, shopee reviews aren't really that reliable most especially if there's no actual pictures and videos sent by buyers after a long time using it. Most comments are always about how the product was delivered to them and not mostly about how the product feels after using it, is it functional, would it last etc. I tend to see buyers automatically giving the seller/s 5 stars review ratings after the product has been sent to them without any damages instead of mainly focusing on its functionality and durability.

[@mmcgear4376]

my only problem with chairs is that my legs are always slightly short. if i increase the height of the chair my feet is dangling, if i lower the chair to have a flat feet on the floor - it will not align to the table (for the wrist)

[@hwsph]

I have the same problem. The best solution is to get a footrest! They are inexpensive and solve your feet dangling problem. Get one which has several positions to be on the safe side. You also don't want it too high.

Please review the Musso E600 Pro as an alternative for the Sihoo m57! It's become very popular and I'd really like to see the input of someone with a lot of knowledge on these kinds of chairs like yourself!

[@earlbond2929]

Hi, which one is better that will last 5+ years Mesh or Fabric? Thanks.

[@accrilz]

Sihoo M57 is so great. I used it in Manila starting 2020, then got another one when I moved to the US last year. Best bang for the buck imo in terms of features and adjustability.

[@ReymarkTan]

Hi Sir, Good day! I know you mentioned in the video to avoid chairs that cost 5,000PHP or less. I'd like to make a request can you make a review for the lower cost chair of Sihoo like their m56? I would really like to know if it's worth to buy. I know it's a big ask, but I think some of your subscribers are wondering the same thing. Thank you for creating such informative content. Your videos about ergonomic chairs opened my eyes to invest in a comfortable and durable cushion for my butt. hehehe God bless your channel! Cheers!

[@hwsph]

Thanks Reymark! Sure let me ask our friends at TWU if they can send us over an m57 for review. :) this is a good point. I also would like to find a chair which is more affordable

[@pauvasquez9264]

[@alvarovelasco29]

I bought the Sihoo M57 because of your review as well as from others, apart from building my own gaming and editing PC, it's the second most expensive thing I have spend with my own money, but I have no regrets (I bought the one with built in footrest, and got add on arm rest cushions, padded footrest and casters). I've switched desk recently, from a small old computer desk to an L-Shaped desk, and the adjustable arm rests really helped with my transition. Apart from proper lumbar support, I think adjustable arm rests are a must, whether or not someone plans to change desks sooner or later. Not sure if this would be interesting enough, but I would like to see a review for monitor arms that can be ordered online like Lazada or shopee. I recently bought a new monitor, it has decent specs, but the included stand isn't adjustable, and I'm considering getting monitor arms that can support my two monitors (both 24", one from the office, and the new one I bought myself). Love your content and hope to see more!

Oh well papel!

You say to avoid leather, but leather doesn't peel like "leatherette". Leatherette or Polyurethane PU leather isn't considered a premium material. Leather is. So why avoid leather? (Genuine question from someone who is under the impression that leather looks good and should last)

- Avoid Nordic Chairs (felt unstable) - Avoid Leather chairs (they peel quickly) - P8k-P10k is ideal price for chairs that would last you 6-10 years - Must have adjustable arm rest and base - It's ideal that your arm rest is same height as your table (Measure your table height) - Lumbar support is a must (Make sure it's really lumbar) - Don't buy when there's no to little reviews online - Buy Rubber Casters
