Honestly thanks for this review dude. Just got one and as a long time standing desk user (10 years), agreed leanrite isn't totally perfect but its easily the best option available. If I could improve 2 things I would: A) give it more locking positions in leaning angles (or some mechanism for finer leaning angle control), and B) enable it to go higher for a super comfy lumbar lean. Aside, it is a gamechanger. Leaning is IMO the best ergonomic position for standing desks.
This is probably the best and most objective review for a product that I've ever seen. It really is a shame you stopped making reviews. I'd love to hear if you still like this chair a year later. I'd also like to hear what you think about the locus focal seat.
Andrew, this was a great review. So appreciate it. Having just started using a standing desk, I am finding "the best position...is the NEXT one". My life lesson is to keep moving...and so far, I too have a collection of chairs. Not ONE is the sole solution. I now have a Vari Chair and like it, but I totally see the value of Lean Rite as another tool...just didn't want to put $600 on a chair, you know?! lol Thanks again, Sir!
I have had this chair, and do like it very much. I too had a problem with the strut, and now (12 mos later) had another strut failure. That said, the company has been very responsive with part replacement.
The mere fact that you know who Kelly Starrett is makes me trust you more, and I know that's some kind of bias, but it's true. Now I have to budget... for a chair. File that under things I'd never thought I'd say.
Loved this review. I would love to purchase a lean right. Have had multiple surgeries. The price is way more than I can afford. Maybe sometime in the future. 👍
Geezus $600 I need this thing bad maybe I can get it as a business write off… fuck gatta get my business started but with herniated discs working on the computer effectively is hard! Shouldn’t have been an idiot at 26. I wish they would teach us about spinal health in school and really mean it when teaching it like they are with CRT.
Looks interesting. for me its a pain looking for what would fit me though. Im looking for something for my gaming setup. i dont like sitting down but atm i dont have anything (other then my office chair i borrowed from work during 2020) for it. and all those good support seats/leaners are all just as expansive as a good desk chair.. only issue is they're formed differently that i feel i should maybe try them out before buying. but good luck finding showrooms for that kinda stuff near you. even if you find a show room they tend to just have 1-3 types of them whilst on the internet you can easily find alot more. atm i think i probably just going to check out the IKEA LIDKULLEN and take it because its relatively cheap (if i knew what really fits me i wouldn't mind paying alot more for an assist in that)
is there a cheaper option trying to find one for my brother but cant fine one thats affordable that i can tilt the seat for lumbar support when standing up
@@quadrant6912 So it is static in the sense the seat itself doesn't move, however, it's more dynamic for me as I move more compared to the Lidkullen. I al ggo through a larger range of positions more frequently.
Great review again. You will have a bright UA-cam future if you keep making more informative, unbiased videos like this! Have you experienced with treadmills to walk throughout the work day? Thanks.
Thanks NZ! I haven't used treadmills yet but I have done work with a laptop on a normal treadmill. I like the feeling. I'll need to think more about them as my initial thoughts are that it's expensive and heavy for something you might not use for more than an hour or two per day.
@@ProductivityTherapy the idea with the treadmill is intresting, but I also concerned about the vision since the eye line is constantly moving and the screen is kind of jumping in front of you. Have you tried this option so far?
Right on Andrew, With all this "Productivity Therapy" I'm surprised you haven't uploaded your review of the A129 Plus Duo yet. lol. Just kidding, I'm sure your still waiting on the manufacturer, or something. -Chuck
Hey Panzer, super late reply and thanks! I have the Plus Duo and it's in the queue for testing. I just have a lot of interesting projects on the go. I finally have my vision of moving beyond dash cams, even beyond Productivity Therapy.
@@ProductivityTherapy Right on, Thanks for the reply. Do you have a website, or something I can keep tabs on you. I'm interested in your work whatever you do. -Chuck
Great review! Do you know, if I can aquire this chair in europe somehow? Are there any european resellers? I know I could order it from the USA, but the shipping and VAT costs are very high. Thanks
Thanks, Menerke! I'm not seeing any great choices at the moment. Maybe you can give them an email through their contact page: ergoimpact.com/pages/contact-us
how is this durable? you are actually applying force to the extended part of a telescopic arm. When extended it works like a lever, you are practically damaging the bottom mounting system every time you are leaning against the end of the extended seat. Should be damaged in a couple of weeks.
I've been using my LeanRite for 3+ years without a problem. It's built really well for all the various functions as shown. All cylinders were upgraded in the most recent version as well.

Also I highly appreciate you saving us all from giant rabbit holes with your well thought out findings and research. Keep up the great work.
Oh neat! Never knew there was a flexible/adjustable chair option. Great review!
Thanks Dave! Yup, I was super excited to find this one too!

Out-figgin-standing review! Love the comparisons and details. SUBSCRIBED!

Problem live in the UK so going cost me a lot more to import with heavy delivery costs
thank you for such a useful and informative review and additional links and resources! I appreciate your feedback and analysis on this topic.

Thank you for the detailed review. You rock!
Thanks utubefun!
You are so awesome, Jesus Christ what a fantastic review.
Ugh, I just boughtt a chair now I'm gonna buy another...
OMG U WATCH THIS CHANNEL. CRAZY
Welcome to my world haha
Great review! Good to learn more about standing chairs and the options out there! Definitely going to look into this chair!
Thanks Sam!
Well done and honest. Thank you !
Thanks
I'm also wondering what your anti-fatigue mat is.
Thank you for the great review

is there a cheaper option trying to find one for my brother but cant fine one thats affordable that i can tilt the seat for lumbar support when standing up
Pls make saddle chair review !
Maybe in the future - I have been eying them! What makes you interested in saddle seats?
@@ProductivityTherapy I thought that the posture on this chair was healthier, but now I see that it is static, unlike the lidkullen.

Great video 👍🏻 , your keyboard and height adjustable desk are dope , is there a way to buy those online?
i just got mine, is it supposed have a bit of give in it? mine seems almost wobbly.
I'm not sure this seat would work if I adopt a wider stance and hence don't place my feet on the support pad? Seems like it would just topple over :/
Has anyone reviewed the Sitmatic Pogo stool?
Could you talk about Leanrite with respect to Locus Focal's Leaning chair?
Right on Andrew,

Import tax and shipping probably cost me over £150+ extra.

that thing needs an inclined foot shelf
Standing desk chairs are the type of products that make me hate humans :D
