Any thoughts on the Ergohuman IOO V3 office chair?

This one: https://www.mydeal.com.au/ergohuman-ioo-v3-smart-balance-fle…

Seems like a good deal and other people have said good things about Ergohuman on here (for those of us who can't afford an Aeron).

  • You are better off looking at the Serati Pro (https://seated.com.au/product/serati-high-back-chair-with-he… as one example, but plenty of other local stockists). One of the best mechanisms on the market, and is cheaper and far better than an Aeron in my eyes.

    Granted that the Ergohuman is cheaper, but this is for a reason. Every time I have sat in one (any model) I have found them very uncomfortable.

    • serati is fugly. lol

  • I tried the same one from MyDeal but with the headrest and didn't like it. I am 183cm and found that there is very little support in the middle of the mesh seat, putting pressure on the sides of my thighs. I felt this straight away. The seat drops off at the front, so you don't get any support towards your knees either. There is a version with upholstered seat, which is probably much better.

    The seat height doesn't go low - at it's minimum height I could just barely put my feet flat on the floor, so you would need a footrest if you were shorter than 183cm.

    Lastly, the mesh has a grippy/rubbery feel, not the premium nylon feel of an Aeron or car seat material, but for the price you can't expect it I guess.

    One thing that bothers me about the Ergohuman chairs is that they have lots of different model names and no real explanation of the differences, so can never really trust any videos or reviews unless they bought it from the same seller.

    On the plus side Duke Living @ MyDeal were very helpful.

    I've sat for at least a year on both the Steelcase Leap and the Aeron, and I think Steelcase is by far the best chair, but it's crazy expensive.

    I recently tried all the IKEA and Officeworks chairs. IKEA chairs seem OK but found the armrests too low for me. Almost all of the Officeworks chairs have rattling armrests, which seemed annoying for the short time I tried them. I thought the Officeworks Scarborough chair for $199 was the most reasonable one at lower end:

    Good luck.

  • I have that chair. I think its a good midrange chair if I'm honest. Definitely a good step up on the entry level ones. The headrest is a bit flimsy though. I would only buy it in the sale if I'm honest and not the RRP.

    I had a nightmare with mydeal though. I will not be using them again.

    • By the time you pay for shipping from the US it will cost around the same as a Steelcase Leap.

    • These chairs even look comfrotable.
