Just passing along an update: I bought the Ergo3D about 17 months ago and still using and loving the chair. Lots of hours working (and playing) in this chair and it still doesn't show wear and tear, it is still supportive and still gives me hours and hours of pain-free computer desk work. Thanks Ahnestly for a great recommendation (and the affiliate discount was a nice bonus).

[@Weirdgrrrl]

I love it when I can adjust the back of a chair to a specific angle and set it there. Does this chair provide that customization? I'm very picky about the angle of the back and love lumbar support.

[@JessicaFEREM]

I'm going to imagine this is an ergonmic lawn chair for your desk, the mesh gives me that vibe

[@shepard1711]

I’ve had this chair for two years and really like it. My only complaint - about any chair, really - is that I like to sit where my desk and arm pads end up being lined up and I wish I could move the armpads out of the way completely so I can get closer to my desk without having to reach forward in juuuuuuust the right amount where my trapezius muscles stay slightly under tension for a long time.

[@Ahnestly]

yeah I know what you mean!!!

[@pekerhed101]

Dude! So glad you mentioned that foam pad at the front of the seat of the chair. NOBODY ELSE DID. I had purchased this chair last month. I used it for about 2 hours TOTAL, and then disassembled and boxed it to return/refund. My main gripe was that foam pad that was digging into my under-thighs, which is NO BUENO for circulation. I'm 5'11"(160lbs)...and that really killed my short experience with this chair. ...and you're also the only reviewer who pointed out the height difference between the smaller casters and the rollerblade casters. When I first assembled the chair, I installed the rollerblade casters. But when I sat down, with the lowest seat height, my shoeless heels were not on the ground. My toes were touching the ground, but not my heels...which again is bad for circulation. So I replaced the rollerblade casters with the cheap hard plastic casters, then my heels were able to firmly rest on the floor. Again, NONE of the other video reviews for this chair mentioned either one of those issues(which really ruined my experience with this chair). In the future, I'm just going to test chairs IN-PERSON...or read your reviews instead. You totally nailed this review. Wish I would have watched it before purchasing this chair. So yeah, anybody shorter than 5'10"(without shoes) may need to place something under their feet if they seek to have a proper 90-degree bend in the knee while sitting. I was so disappointed in this chair, as I was REALLY hoping that I would love it. The third thing that killed my experience was that I couldn't rest completely upright. I need a chair that I can lean back into, but still completely upright...because I need that posture for much of my work(8 hours per day). So would you happen to know chairs off-hand that would work for someone about 6ft in height, and 160lbs...where I can rest in a perfect upright position...and has better leg circulation(no hard foam digging into under-thighs)?

My man, this is exactly the comment I needed to read right now!!! I was thinking about buying this over a SecretLab Titan Evo Softweave because its a 50% cheaper, but like you I am 5'11" and 200lbs, and also like to sit up at 90 degrees for "work mode", so would have had the exact same issues as you. Thank you Thank yoou Thank you!!!!!

[@enyaspeed]

[@ao_qd]

One of my biggest problems with mesh chairs is that they eventually warp and lose support. Of course, padding crumples and loses support over time, too, but at least there's something solid underneath to support your weight once it wears down. There's gotta be a way to replace the mesh or fix it throughout the life of the chair.

[@Ahnestly]

This makes a lot of sense. I think this is why Herman miller uses a frame and then drops another frame with mesh on it on the Aeron - so they can replace it easily. But its also 6x the price…

[@fragmentalstew]

370 usd is a lot for a budget chair

[@Ahnestly]

What is budget $$ to you? Right now, prices of everything has gone up due to logistics mess. Bringing a container overseas costs 4x what it did before (heard this from some friends I have in the industry) :-/

[@fragmentalstew]

Under 300. Maybe even under 200. But I've heard the same thing about freight prices, from someone in the industry. Still, it seems like prices on a lot of chairs have risen by much more than just the cost of freight, materials, or inflation. One example, the autonomous ergochair recline went from $200 to $600. This nouhaus is a steal in comparison. But many budget and non- budget chairs seem to have risen in cost significantly. It makes sense that freight costs would cause a greater percentage increase of the total cost of a budget chair.

[@Ahnestly]

Some of those have to do with branding. I think autonomous is just an awful company lol…

I'm 6'1 (almost) and quite heavyset, so the 90kg is a far cry from where I am now, but I really love the thought that went into this chair, the ergonomics of it is pretty amazing.

I was able to try out the Workpro at a local Officemax so I ended up with that one. So far I'm happy with it.

I had this, I find the lumbar lacking, non adjustable and the chair on the stem wobbles a bit more than I would like to the point of leaning to one side a bit now. I am 5'11 and i find it a bit short myself. The castors and arm rests are pretty good.

[@classiccj2569]

Does anyone know if the Nouhaus Palette is a good chair? I was wondering if I should buy it but I can't find any videos about it.

[@mzlemonade216]

I just recently purchased the Nouhaus Rewind chair and I wanted to love it so much, but I have pretty long legs for someone who is around 5'6"/5'7" and the seat depth kills the back of my thighs because there is so much of a gap. The design is very similar to the Ergo 3D, but it has an added foot rest. The chair is so comfortable and all the features are great, but I will be returning it because of the problem I am having with the seat. I hope that they improve this in the future because I am so sad that it didn't work out for me. Great products, great customer service, great company...but not for people with longer legs, at least not long term. Wish I saw this review before I made the jump to purchase. lol

[@Ahnestly]

This comment was auto sent to my spam for some reason (KZbin sucks with this). I 10000% agree with this. The rewind is an inferior chair to the ergo3d. The reason I reviewed the ergo 3d separately from the other 2 nouhaus chairs I have is bc I don’t think the others are worth their price tag!

[@dayoldspaghetti]

Thanks for the review. Was always on the fence of buying a better chair as the price tag for anything decent is pretty hefty. This video convinced me to pull the trigger. Managed to find a good deal on this used for only 230 CAD (~180 USD). Very comfortable for someone on the shorter side (164cm).

[@Ahnestly]

I think the headrest would be a little high up for you, but it’s detachable, so you could just remove it so it’s not in the way in an uncomfortable way! The unfortunate thing is that most chairs were designed for people between 5’4 and 5’9 :(

Would you say the Neuechair is worth twice the price of this one? Which chair would you recommend between the two? (Neue vs Ergo3d) I'm torn between the two based on my size (5'9" 130lbs... skinny dude), and preference to mesh chairs. You and I actually have many of the same opinions which is why I love your content so much. I'm being Ahnest!!

[@Ahnestly]

Hahah I love it! I think the features you get on the Neuechair blow this one away. The mesh...leaves soething to be desired. If you really like mesh and want the best you can get, I highly recommend a used Aeron! After that, I'd say the Neue chair (since you're in the right weight class for it!)

Bro, I have been contemplating on getting this chair because of your review. But at $370, price seemed pretty steep. After waiting around, I managed to snag $166 after discounts/coupons. Then I noticed after it had already been delivered, that Amazon had a “frequently returned item” notification on the page. Now I’m wondering if it’s being returned because people don’t feel that it’s worth the full price they bought it for, it’s just not a good chair at all, or is defective? It’s still in the box, but yea.. that’s hell of a discount I got it for. I am within the height range you mentioned, but I’m around 180-190ish lbs. I saw in another video that you recommended 150lbs max

[@captiosus_77]

So glad you reviewed this. Ergo3D was on my short list. Until I saw you push down on that mesh to illustrate how much give it has, that is. At 6', 220lbs, I don't think that mesh would last more than a couple months, a year *at most*. That makes it a hard sell for me at their current direct-sale $399 asking price. At $400 and living on a disability fixed budget, I need to get more than a few months to a year out of it.

I made the (now in retrospect) dumb decision to buy a Secretlabs Titan XL just because it said it supported bigger folks (up to 180kg - roughly 400lbs), but during the 2.3 years I've owned the Titan XL, I've needed the tilt mechanism replaced 5 times. One thing I'll give Secretlabs, their support has been nothing but fantastic with sending out replacement parts in Australia. However, I will be replacing my secretlabs chair with an office-style chair, I've read more reviews about how something like the Ergolux Elliot ($299 aud) actually lasts a long time, and supports the weight it claims. I've learned, $$$ and influencer shills don't = quality.

Definitely best unlocked for me because locked upright and it almost shoves me off the front of the chair it feels like, and then locked in next position is too far back and wide of an angle.

There are a lot of people who come up with little rules like that for who they don't trust or trust that sound good on paper, but once you start adding all of that up you end up not being able to trust anything. The better approach is just to take that into consideration and have a diversity of inputs. Could some kind of affiliate program or relationship subtly affect the review process? Sure. But so do other factors. So does anecdotal and personal preference. There are always biases no matter what - it's just more sensible and pragmatic to look at more opinions in that case, not just take the reductionist approach of "I no longer believe what you say", especially since you are tossing the baby out with the bathwater given all the relevant info in this video and others.

This chair is completely hideous looking.

$300+ is considered a 'budget' chair? according to who, donald trump? 🤣

Chairs range from 30 to $2,000, so not sure what you’d like me to call it! And $30 chairs aren’t real chairs. It’s landfill!
