Beyou chair - review
I'm obviously not a professional reviewer, but here are my initial impressions and experience in receiving the Beyou chair after funding the Indiegogo campaign in 2021.
Anyone who might want details: the seat is about 18 inches deep, but with the backrest fully upright, it is only 14 inches deep, practically speaking.

A compilation of some of the moments on stage I am most proud of, whether for their creativity, how they were performed, or what it took for me to get there at all. Moments ranging from 2014-2020. Squishing 6 years of performance into less than 4 minutes is tough. My original cut was 8.5 minutes ;) Here is to many more successful performances!

4 years of waiting- still no chair here in european union. I doubt they will ever fulfill rewards for EU market
Thank you for your video. I couldn't figure out how to recline and it was hurting my back. Appreciate it!
Helpful and fair review! I also have it, as a crowdfund backer. I would say it was worth the money, even adding the... $150? of shipping onto the $300 crowdfunding price. However, I don't know if I would pay the current $945 price tag for it. I also experience the seating space front to back as pretty limited, and one of the arm wings has started to fail in less than 6 months of having it (ie: It is not staying locked in place). But my biggest complaint about it is its inability to tilt backwards as a whole. Yes, the backrest will tilt backwards, but the seat itself will not, and I've realized as I've been sitting in it, that's something that I enjoyed very much from my other office chairs. Still, the functionality of the chair in other ways is pretty cool, especially being able to stretch my legs out on one side while leaning back on the other wing is awesome, and being able to change positions when in the office for extended Zoom meetings is great, from the knees to sitting on the backrest with my feet on the seat, I would say being able to do all that outweighs the downsides of the chair. However, I would hope the company would listen to these critiques, and make the chair better in its future iterations.
Thank you! I still haven't received my chair and I was just writing to the company, that I start to doubt their credibility... But seeing this, gives some patience.
After three years i still hvent gotten my chair. When will ot come?
Im about to purchase this chair .. hopefully i love it
Thank you for this, it was a long wait from supporting it on KIckstarter to getting it. Mine arrived just before Christmas 2023. Shipping, thanks to Canadian rates and exchange, cost me nearly $500 to Ottawa. Also, I know the base has to be large and strong due to the positions the chair permits, just realize it is NOT going to go through most door openings, certainly in home office configurations. I had an adjustable height desk, need to find another smaller version. Time will tell if it was money well spent. I think the quality is good, however.
I agree, thank you so much for doing the review, I came on here to find out how to recline this chair because I had the exact same issue with the back cutting into the seat space and me prefering having my feet up there with me. This is also my only concern, which I hope will not be a problem as long as I can recline. I didn't back the campaign, didn't know it existed. But a friend of mine did and when he got the chair I went on ebay Kleinanzeigen (German craigslist - but without the really creepy vibe) and low and behold - I got a brand new one for 450€, still fully packaged. Beyond happy about my comfy chair so far (I just put it together)
Super helpful video. I came here to check that the chair was real before paying the crazy shipping. Back again to figure out how to recline the darn thing.
I don't understand how they're justifying 200$ shipping for a chair, when my solid metal standing desk that weighs over 200 lbs was under $100 to ship from CA to TN...
Aha, FINALLY I find the answer for how to level off the backrest, thank you. More info in this video than any of the adverts or the poster that comes with the thing :P
I am UK customer and got the base delivered 3 weeks after payment. Unfortunately they still haven't send out the top part and i am waiting the last 10 days that the provided tracking number will be updated. I really don't hope that they are scamming me :/ and just waiting for time to pass that i can't get my money back from the credit card company. I called up DHL about the delivery and they told me they haven't received the parcel yet....
Zero customer satisfaction on their end. Been waiting four months for the base of the chair. Zero stars.
Don’t waste your time or money with a company that sends damaged products, doesn’t take ownership, questions your ethics or integrity after our support and money for almost 3 years. I can not begin to express my disappointment with the entire experience. Here is how my purchase transpired with Be You Furniture November 12th, 2020. A Be You chair was purchased through Kick Starter for $349.00 USD. Backer Number 5774. December 15th 2020, a second Be You Chair was purchased as part of an early bird promotion for $309.00 USD Between December 20th 2020 and September 2023, Almost 3 years, Be You experienced a series of challenges. Covid, Manufacturing in India, Manufacturing in China, Design challenges, supplier issues, shipping issues and we stuck with them for the ride. September 7th 2023, we were finally able to book shipping of our 2 chairs for a very hefty $612.00 USD. September 28th 2023. UPS delivers the legs but no chairs. A claim was put in to both Be You and UPS. October 4th 2023, UPS delivers the chairs. October 17th 2023, one chair is in good working order, the other chair has large blemishes on the back of the chair that has been very poorly touched up. This is sent to Be You with photos. October 20th 2023 Be You responds that they are looking into it. November 1st 2023, I have not heard back from them and send a follow up email asking for updates. November 3rd 2023, they responded. “Sorry for the wait, it looks like you received your BeYou chairs on September 28 - 1ZWE5177DL22792477, 1ZWE5177DL28417899 and on 4th of October 1ZWE5177DL21716480, 1ZWE5177DL21609864 but only chose to reach out to us on October 18th. Considering this, there is nothing we can do because this was not reported when the chair was received. The esthetical aspect of the chair needs to be reported exactly when the chair is received.” I respond the same day asking for the situation to be escalated. At no time was I told that the chair had to be inspected the day it was delivered. November 10th, 2023, this is their responds. “We understand your situation but we have mentioned numerous times that the BeYou Chair will come in 2 separate boxes due to its size. Verifying that a package is ok upon delivery is common practice and as such we expected this to be brought to our attention much sooner. As we can not account for the happenings between the time the chair arrived and your notification about the esthetic issue we can not replace it. Our factory has a thought quality check process that would not allow such an issue to be present on a delivered chair.” The chair sat in the box until we were home. Three things stand out from this experience. First the hypocracy of us waiting almost 3 years and them saying that we took too long to unpack the box. 13 days to be exact. That we explained that we travel for work and did not have time to open both boxes and assemble yet they took almost 3 years from order to delivery. Somehow that is an acceptable timeline. That they take 5 to 7 days to respond to any communication and have zero tolerance for us not opening a box the day it rolls in. Second, that they send us a defective product with one gash measuring 5 + inches and the other blemish measuring 1 inch. Not a little mark on the back of a chair. Then they tell us that because we didn’t open one of the boxes for 13 days that they will not take responsibility for sending us damaged goods. I explained that we were travelling for work and were not home however they deem this as a non starter. So, if I opened the box the next day, how would that change things? Would they take the chair back? Lastly, that they are calling us liars. That the factory would not allow a product to go out in this shape. The back of the chair is clearly damaged and touched up. Yes, if your control processes worked then this none of this communication would be needed. The short answer is that Be Your Furniture does not stand by their product. Their service is an embarrassment. Vote with your hard-earned dollars. Don’t waste your time or money with a company that sends damaged products, doesn’t take ownership, questions your ethics or integrity after our support and money for almost 3 years. I can not begin to express my disappointment with the entire experience.
Got mine. This is a great and accurate review. TBH the big box is VERRRRY heavy. I could barely lift it on my own, and I'm strong. Not that that excuses the shipping cost, but it's the heaviest box I've ever ever had shipped to me. Just a head's up.
Pity they are shady shady scam artists trying to charge me $500AU shipping for my indiegogo pledge. Total scumbags.
Thank you so much for this review - definitely feeling the sting of the $250 shipping on top of the $350 cost and really appreciated this reassurance for it doing mostly what it said it would
Thank you for the review! Very helpful!
They forced pre-order customers to pay 300%+ "MORE" for shipping and refused refunds to those who didn't want to pay the excessive amounts. We can purchase different chairs for less than BeYou Furniture is charging to ship their chairs, not even counting the money that we originally paid. Their website terms have been changed and they have not honored what they promised to thousands of customers.
Thank you for this review! I needed to confirm that the chair actually existed before spending more on shipping.
Got my beyou chair after waiting 2 years & it doesn't work as promised. Backrest is broken and they aren't responding to my customer service issue.
I just assembled mine and heavily debated the exorbitant shipping fee but ultimately caved as i already had sunk cost of two chairs (i crowd funded at reward level of two chairs). I like many wish they wouldn't have made so many design changes to original prototype. Additional note, the wheel base is so big it does NOT fit through doorways without being removed so cannot move between rooms. I had to bring all pieces into my office to assemble. My back doesn’t go fully horizontal to be able to sit on or use as desk like it is supposed to, so i will be contacting beyou. Still waiting on second chair to arrive and hopefully it doesn’t have same problem. To get the tilt to work i had to the first time press down much harder than i was comfortable with, but after first tilt is now not needing same level of force/effort. Thank you for your review/video! Update: I did figure out the backrest move to horizontal requires the back to be in its fully tilted position, which does feel awkward but explains the massive base I guess for stability of having weight not even close to center of chair.
Thanks for making this. I’ve been wondering if it’s worth actually paying the shipping after all this time.
Thank you for giving such an eloquent review!
Thanks for doing this vid! I’ve been fiddling around for an hour trying to figure out how to get the thing to recline! Push DOWN on the handle. Thanks for that! lol
Nice review, thanks. Just got mine but it doesn't have the wood grain like yours, just black steel. Is it actually wood or is it vinyl?
Seems like some composite, it’s definitely not just a sticker but not real wood either
@@TaliWuzzer Interesting. I didn't see that as a choice when I ordered. Hmmm....
omg i couldn't get the recline to work. I knew to push the lever down and felt like i was pushing back, but like really push back!! Thank you
Thanks a lot for your review. I'm realy happy to have a review of somebody who got it ...after 2.5 years!!!! Somehow I was douptfull if beyou is a scam or not and they only want to make extra money with their shippment amount. Thanks
if anyone wants a chair for cheap message me, i'm willing to let one go for 200. can't afford the shipping costs and beyou unfortunately doesn't want to refund me.
I'm happy to transfer my pledge to anyone who wants it and is willing to pay the shipping costs. This chair is too big for my small space
I'm so frustrated and overwhelmed by this stupid chair. I, like you, funded the chair for 350$ over two years ago reading every monthly update till the final release. Despite everyone getting their codes to pa for shipping, I didn't receive mine until about a week ago and when I tried using it... the check out, in my cart, said that I would be paying 1,200$ to purchase my black beYou chair and I live in California, the place it ships from! I was flabbergasted and obviously didn't purchase it. I read reviews just like yours saying they paid almost as much as they funded if not less for their shipping so how in the world did mine come out to over a grand?! I rechecked my code today hoping it was just a fluke accident and now, like so many others, there is no availability in ALL chairs and I'm stuck... 350$ down the drain, no chair, no stock, no working code, and overall frustrated and regretful for backing it in the first place. If I had been as lucky as you I wouldn't have much regret because like your wonderful review, I wanted this chair to experiment the positions I can sit in as I always sit like a gremlin, but here I am...
Wow!!! I'd contact BeYou about that shipping price tag. I paid $350 for my chair, like you, and paid $220 for shipping to FL. It arrived fast, and assembled perfectly. I did have to wait a couple of days for a new code, though, when I sat too long over whether or not to pay the shipping cost at first.
You should have got an email with a link that takes you to a page to choose your color and pay shipping. A bit over $200 to IL. I've never seen any mention of a "code". I'm sure they'll fix you up. Until recently, every time I went to the link they were out of stock. A few emails later I was able to complete the transaction.
It is big- so mind your toes!!! You may stub them a few times until you get used to the wide wheel base lol
Just got my chair and agreed with your point until i saw you can actually adjust the back part, using the lever that raises/lowers the chair just push it down and then adjust the back
If you struggled figuring out how to RECLINE the BeYou chair so you can sit criss-cross apple sauce all the time, and are looking for the answer, it's here! 3:20 Thanks Mary!!!
Follow up review: Now that I’ve had the chair for about a month, I am more and more satisfied with it bc I do wiggle around a lot in my chair and so far it has accommodated all of my fidgeting.
Mine came damaged and the company won’t respond.
That sucks and I’m really sorry to hear that. Please don’t give up trying to contact them to have the problem addressed 🫤
Hi! I have a question about the type of fabric this charge has. I have a cat and she is brutal on the furniture. I replaced my couch with shade like fabric and it is perfectly fine. Does it feel like the fabric is sturdy? Thank you.
I suppose so? I don’t really know if I can say either way, but it didn’t seem like super cheap fabric
This is a great review!! Thanks so much for taking the time. Would love your updated opinion after you use it for a while
Thank you for your review. I also ordered mine few years back and was hesitant to pay $200 shipping from California to California ( not that I know they are in Southern California) It should be less shipping then to Denver. Your video helped me with my decision. Thank you. Enjoy the chair!
Does the back recline?
It does
Thanks for the review! Shipping price seems to make sense for the weight of the package. After seeing how easy it is to use im looking forward to getting mine!
Super helpful, thank you!
Ill give up my pledge too if anyone wants it. I'll sell it for $300 you pay the shipping.
i bought this thing thinking it would be more accommodating for sitting cross legged in chairs. its really ironic to see that it somehow makes it less easy to sit cross legged, while providing all sorts of other seating positions that are useless. i dont see any reason i should pay the ransom of $200 bucks to get my $350 chair. its the sunk cost fallacy. fool me once
For what it's worth I sit Cross legged on mine. You do need to tilt the back rest back to make enough room for your legs.
Thank you SO much for this review! I have been looking online to see if anyone had gotten theirs, and if it was worth it to pay the shipping... which, I did not know jumped from $50-$200, so thank you for that. Your review is really going to help me decide if, once they are in stock again, I go through and pay for the shipping. Thanks Mary!
I just got mine after deciding to pay the $220 for my shipping. It came promptly, assembled easily, and it's awesome. Exactly what I hoped for when I ordered it. Wish I could attach a pic here, but I am just that pleased. Makes me all the madder that fear-mongering drove the price of shipping so high.
@@emidowdarrow thank you! This helps. :)
And I know! So dumb! We all know projects can get backed up on those sites. We're not guaranteed our product when we back it. No sense in freaking out.
Thank you so much for doing this! I need to verify that this chair exists before I pay shipping
Did it show up? I’ve just received the shipping bill and they want £395 to deliver 2 chairs (which I preordered two years ago) to the uk. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam and really can’t afford to pay the delivery
I also pre-ordered. (But in the US.) Still waiting…
Thank you for your review it was very helpful, I concur with all of the things you pointed out. I appreciate your time with creating the video. Edit addition: Btw I was able to cross my legs in the chair quite comfortably: lean the back rest back, you have to sit side ways, with you back to one of the armrest and the other down.
Yes when I want to sit cross legged with back support this is what I have been doing. The arm rests come more upright than the back anyway. They’re just very short!
Just put mine together, so disappointed. You're right, the seat is not deep at all. The reason I bought it was to be able to sit cross legged but the seat isn't deep enough to be able to do that with huge back.
I was super curious about this. Does reclining the back rest help with this at all or just put the back rest at an odd position?
@@Xelia0 The back doesn’t recline - I wish it did
The backrest DOES recline. It's on the instructions, which are printed on a full-color, HUGE poster. All you have to do is tilt the chair back--problem solved. I love this chair. Just got mine today.
@@emidowdarrow does reclining it help with space to sit cross-legged?
Yes! @@Xelia0 When I first sat, I looked at the instructions, saw how to recline the back until I felt comfy, and problem solved. I bought this chair to sit cross-legged, so I would've been burned if the chair was too shallow for even that! Another way to help with the "fit" is to move the back up or down slightly more. If you want to sit bolt upright whilst cross-legged, and have your back fully supported, your knees will extend off the front, so I guess they could've allowed the back rest to tilt forward slightly more at the top to allow more space for your hips at the bottom. BUt, I'm cross-legged right now with full back support, and it suits me fine.
Ahh! You and puppers are max adorbs lol thank you for sharing! I'm still debating the shipping cost.. not that it will let me pay, anyway. "Out of stock". *sigh*
you can have my pledge if you want, it will be much cheaper and I honestly can't afford the shipping anyways 😢
thank you for reviewing it! it DOES look way different than the original. and so dang big!
thanks for this! If the backrest is leaned back, is there more room for sitting cross-legged?
Yea, if you have use of the full seat, cross legged is comfortable and possible for probably most bodies
If you sit backwards and put the backrest horizontally, yes
