I own one of these and I have to agree 100% with the review. The downsides to the seat outweighs all the positives. Currently looking for a new chair, wish I watched these reviews before I bought
I wish I had seen this before purchasing one. I've had it for a week and a half, already planning to send it back at the end of this week. Everything they've sited as issues with the chair are spot on. I'd rather put that 500 towards a refurbished Aeron
I used a ErgoChair2 for about a year. Things I liked are the adjustability, especially moving the seat forward and back. However, the seat area left a lot to be desired. The padding is not supportive, becomes very uncomfortable to sit on. I was constantly adding cushions to try and make it more comfortable. Everything was feeling pretty loose after a few months. I've replaced it with a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron Classic and I'm a lot more comfortable.
I purchased an Ergoal chair. I did not receive the headrest and spent 2 weeks requesting a replacement. Ergoal has failed to respond to voice messages, emails, FB messages, etc. Their customer service is non existent. I will be sending my chair back ASAP and will look for a better option.
medium. It's firm, but has give. It takes a month or two of daily use to get more comfortable. I'm a full year into using mine daily, and i feel like i get restless/butt fatigue often, so their analysis of the seat feeling like it's got a high bottom out factor resonates
Get a remanufactured Steelcase Leap. It goes for around the same price and has wayyyy more pros than the ergochair. As the guy said, its actually made by the company themselves (not sourced from China like the ergochair), and its rated for legit office and work use. I've see it being used at corporate offices and my local hospital where people sit down the entire day. Its the real deal. I got mine a month ago and its built like a tank. It comes with a 12 year warranty too.
Spend $500 on a cheaply made chair to last 4 years at most or spend $1K that will last you at least 10-12 years and your body will thank you when you are older. There’s a reason HM, Steelcase and Haworth charges more than these tasks chairs.

Thank you for your honesty.
Do a review on the cheap Staples branded office chairs, like the Hyken and Dexley chairs. 👍

The armrests on these things are so easy to move by accident, I honestly think I could move them with my mind. Was a huge turnoff for me.
True, granted. I found the only way to be satisfied with mine was to remove the arms completely.
@@tr33squid I was satisfied when I put it back in the box where it belonged.

would you classify the seat as soft, medium or hard? Many thanks.

Recommended alternatives within the price range?
