Bit of an interesting one, I've been following them for a little bit looking for a deal. Kinda looks to be in the price range of the Ergohuman. I've taken a punt and bought it. If you wait a little bit I'll drop my thoughts here. But if you wanna try it out with me here's the coupon.

Delivery is free to VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD, SA. *$50 for NT, WA, TAS

RRP is $669, coupon takes it down $120.

Super popular in Singapore and they recentlyish started offering the chair here?

    Gotta say, they do have great marketing and I’m tempted!

    Please let us know what you think after you have tried it out Kerjifire.

    • Kerjifire on 21/11/2021 - 16:35

      Yeah I've been looking at reviews and hoping for a deal here. Their targeted ads are non stop…. good luck avoiding them now :P Will drop my thoughts here though once I get it! I guess I'm also testing their delivery speed ay

      • Makaroni on 22/11/2021 - 01:15

        Following this. Would like to know your thoughts also. Trying to decipher whether to get this or the Ergohuman Plus Elite V2 Mesh.

        • Kerjifire on 22/11/2021 - 09:38

          Tbh I've never tried an ergohuman so I won't be able to give you a comparison v that

  • GrazerAu on 21/11/2021 - 16:36

    Not looking to buy, but that 12 year warranty is misleading. Doesnt cover the things that will fail within 12 years such as mesh/ arm rest, lumbar support, and you have to advertise for them to get this extended warranty.

    Also say they dont include labour to fix parts under warranty which is bonkers.

    Buyer beware.

    • Kerjifire on 21/11/2021 - 16:39

      Good to know! I guess 8 years seems sufficient?

      I believe you have to assemble the chair yourself anyway so it would be strange for them to repair it physically (with labour)?

      Do you know how this compares to Ergohuman?

      • Kerjifire on 21/11/2021 - 16:44

        I don't know if I'm reading this correctly but Ergohuman has a 3 year warranty

        Warranty does not cover wear and tear

        So it could be the same as this..?

        • GrazerAu on 24/11/2021 - 15:16

          Guess so. Dont have the ergohuman. I have the buro metro and love it. Best chair cushion. Only downside is no headrest. Would be perfect otherwise.

          • Kerjifire on 24/11/2021 - 16:00

            @GrazerAu: Nice, my only problem with cushion is my ass gets really toasty after a while :P

      For standard warranty, 8 years will cover Skeletal Frame, Aluminium Frame, Wheelbase, and Polyamide Frame and can be extended to 12 years for free by taking a photo of the purchased chair and sharing to social media. For standard warranty 4 years will cover Lumbar Support, Central Mechanism Hub, Armrest Mechanism, Castor Mechanism and can be extended to 8 years for free by taking a photo of the purchased chair and sharing to social media.

      Link to their warranty policy if further info is needed. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0560/2548/1393/files/ErgoT…

    • [Deactivated] on 21/11/2021 - 17:05

      Almost pulled the trigger. If the mesh failed, there isn't much point to repair. Making it worse, labor isn't included for fixing under warranty.

      • Kerjifire on 21/11/2021 - 17:17

        I'm confused at what "Labor" would actually refer to though here. In their process it says "Upon verifying the defective part, we will ship a replacement to you at our own cost". At what point would labor be needed? I am confused. It looks like to me they will just send out the replacement part

        • Proffy on 21/11/2021 - 17:43
          +3

          The labour would be exactly the same as having to put the chair together in the beginning. So basically a replacement part is the same as a part you would have used to assemble the chair. As far as i know they charge people to put the chairs together for them, so I'm assuming they are stating under warranty that labour is not covered based off that optional offering? So i would assume if the mesh did fail they would send out that part of the chair under warranty for you to replace that would be similar to a part assembled when first getting the chair?

          Doesn't really matter, they have a whole legal team to write those T&Cs so…, I walk way if I smell anything dodgy.

            @[Deactivated]: I do not understand what is dodgy? I had a faulty chair seat on a gaming chair and was send a whole replacement seat to assemble back myself.. how would if be any diff for this company? mesh failing is covered under warranty unless it is caused by general wear and tear.. of course a massive sag in the mesh would be considered faulty and should be replaced?

    Can somebody please recommend a good chair for home office use for software development? Is there a good place is brissy where I can go and try them out? Thanks

    • np on 21/11/2021 - 20:58

      I’m not from brissy but my colleagues and I work long hours and swear by our Herman Miller (I have the Mirra 2 and partner has the Aeron). They come in varying sizes too in order to suit your height/length of your back. Haven’t had any issues for the last 7 years. They are on the expensive side but I considered it an investment given I spend more time in my chair than my mattress.

      • John Doh on 21/11/2021 - 21:06

    Alright it finally arrived today, ordered on the 21st so a 5 day turnaround - not bad. Would have been happier if the delivery company didn't say it would be delivered 2 days ago.

    Initial impressions:

    Building took ~45 minutes or so. The instructions and packaging for screws etc to build were some of the best I've seen. Was relatively easy to assemble. I assembled it on my own.

    Chair itself: oh my lord there are so many adjustments you can make. I haven't quite found the perfect setting but I'll be adjusting throughout the week I think. It is very comfy.

    One of my arm rests is looser than the other, I've contacted support, we'll see how they act. The arm rests are also a little higher than I would like at the lowest point.

    But otherwise I think it looks alot better in person than in the images! Very comfy, very adjustable. I'll drop my thoughts again a few weeks in.

    • toasty on 27/11/2021 - 14:43

      Thanks for following up with your initial impressions. I hope their support is helpful.

      One question, if you don’t mind. Approximately how tall are you?

      I’m asking because the armrest height is also important to me. I’m 175cm.

      • Kerjifire on 28/11/2021 - 00:50
        +1

        Support replied in a day which is nice - they say you can tighten it by removing the arm cushion which is good to know. I'm fairly short at 164cm.

        The arm rests are about ~19.5-20cm from the top of the arm cushion down to the chair if you want a reference point. My previous chair could go to about 17cm and it's lowest point. I do have however longer than usual arms for my height so that could be a factor.

        • axn on 28/11/2021 - 20:43

          Hi,

            I sat on it all day without feeling uncomfortable if that helps?

            The back support is probably my favourite thing about the chair so far. Feels like it shapes perfectly around my back

    Anyway I know that support can be a hit or miss per staff member but I had a great experience with a fella called "Justin Lim". Replied super quick within a day - organised a replacement arm to be sent to me. So far fairly impressed.

    • Fixel99 on 03/12/2021 - 17:06

      So the tension adjust wasn't the issue I take it?

      • Kerjifire on 03/12/2021 - 19:32

        So there are 4 screws to adjust tension on the arms.

        2 for the inner arm turn and 2 for the outer arm turn

        The screw wouldn't tighten so that was the issue. It was just infinitely turning. I mean I could pull it out and stuff things in the hole but yeah I didnt want to do that because they would likely accuse me of stuffing it up haha. So they just sent me a new arm

        • Fixel99 on 04/12/2021 - 00:49

          Cool! Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

            @Fixel99: Okay I'm wrong the two silver screws do… nothing now that I've tried messing with it lol. You can only increase the tension of the inner arm turn with the allen key screws. Seems like you can't adjust the tension of the outer rotation.

  • nivurek on 07/12/2021 - 19:36

    Alright, here are my first impressions after 7 hours of sitting on the chair and general experiences with everything else.
    (Note: I am a 181cm male with a buff build and own a Steelcase Leap v2 (second hand). I decided to try the ergotune out since the Steelcase was starting to cause some pain on my back)

    -I was charged a 3% 'foreign fee' for some reason when I made the purchase with a credit card. However support said they were looking into it. Please use paypal if you intend to buy this chair.
    -Beware that they will charge a 3% 'transaction' fee if you decide to return the chair under the 30 days trial period, or when you cancel an order.
    -Warranty: There are different warranty periods depending on the part, and you have to make a social media post to receive the extra 4 years warranty. Parts under warranty do not include the mesh material, and delivery of the parts is to be paid for by the customer. From what i heard, ergonomic chair companies like Herman Miller or Steelcase come with standard 12 years warranty without needing to post anything, and usually pay for the delivery of parts under warranty.
    -Returns under the 30 day trial period can be done personally to their warehouse in Clyde, NSW, if that helps anyone. Just email them to organise it.
    -Delivery: Tracking was a mess and didn't work at all. However it was delivered this morning, which was 3 days ahead of schedule. A pleasant surprise.
    -Building the chair was quite easy, and took me around 30 minutes. Parts are packaged neatly and screws are distinctly labelled. Instruction manual was very easy to follow.

    Now to the chair itself:
    -Build: The parts are pretty high quality, and the chair hasn't made any squeaking noises when moving since I assembled it. However a few Singaporean reviews suggest otherwise after a few months of use. Hoping that won't be the case for my chair.
    -Headrests: Headrests were very adjustable and made me appreciate having one once I tried leaning backwards with the chair; something that I didn't really do with the Steelcase since it didn't have a headrest.
    -Armrests: Adjustability was pretty good and it felt quite rigid, however, the pads of the armrest felt a little bit too firm, and the default position is quite high compared to the Steelcase's armrests. The armrests also don't go forward or backward, and instead you have to turn the armrests 180 degrees if you want to have the armrests more to the front.
    -Lumbar support: The pressure applied to my lower back was kinda stiff and strong and forced me to sit with good posture; something that I didn't encounter with the Steelcase leap v2. The lumbar support mechanism's firmness on the Steelcase was adjustable and allowed me to sit in weird positions with comfort..
    -Material: This was my first experience with a mesh chair, and my first impressions was that it felt a bit breathable and 'light' compared to the Steelcase. However the mesh material's texture felt a little rough, especially on the edges of the chair. Being a mesh chair, the cushioning was nowhere near as good as the cushioning on the foam-based padding that's inherent on the steelcase. Cross sitting with one leg was not very comfortable, and sitting comfortably with both legs on the seat is a pipe dream for this chair. (But again, cross sitting is ergonomically bad for your body..)
    -Finishing and aesthetics: The chair itself looks quite nice and modern, however there were some minor inconsistencies with the finishing of some of the parts.

    All in all, my initial impressions are pretty good for this chair. Because the chair is unforgiving and not very comfortable if you do not sit with decent posture, it kinda forces you to sit with good posture.. something I think the steelcase didn't strictly enforce, so maybe this is for the better? (Keep in mind that the steelcase is quite old) However due to my concerns with general comfort and cushioning, I've decided to make a decision on whether to keep it or not after 2-3 more weeks of sitting on the chair. Please note that my experience with the chair is subjective and might be different from your experience.

      Do you find the mesh extremely firm or soft?

        For me it's on the firmer side.

    Got my one as well and built it within 30mins. I used the video on their website, however, there have been some minor changes since the video was created, such as the packaging of the screws, headrest screws are now in the screw pack, washers are slightly different and come prepacked, the video recommends use the 3rd slot for the base, yet it should only be used if you're 180cm+ etc.

    I have gone though the activity and the calibration guides to adjust the chair so will see how that goes. If you do use the arm rests I feel like even with the minimum length setting, I'm further away from the table than I'm used to. Also with so many adjustments it can be difficulty to see if you chose the right settings. There's no squeaking of the chair which was mentioned in some video reviews however, the headrest has a bit of a rattle if you move the chair or lean into the headrest.
