Thanks for the unboxing. I just received mine and noticed the lumbar was completely off from the chair. I thought installation is required until I saw this video.
I have this Zody about 10 years now, its a really heavy chair nice and solid metal castors, and metal support mechanism. Pretty good cushioning it's still in good condition - very durable. The downside is the lumbar support is useless it broke off, the thin metal that attaches to the main vertical support is paper thin and not durable, but that ok with me I never needed the lumbar support.
Hey Reggie, I have this chair also - can I ask how the mesh has held up? do you have to be careful without? I treat it like a baby... as I'm afraid I'll 'overstretch' it and won't have the shape return back to normal
@@willd0g the mesh is fine never had any sags or wrinkles still in tension, it is actually quite durable considering how long I had it. I do recline on it but I am not the type that leans on the mesh for long periods whilst working.
How do you find the back support in the mesh? Some people in the video mention you have to lean back, that it's not so supportive - your thoughts?
@@willd0g The mesh has held up pretty well - it doesn't sag at all, and I lean on it quite a bit while sitting. There are a few worn places now but overall it's OK. My biggest gripe is that it catches so much dust and is hard to keep clean. I would prefer to have a non-mesh back next time.
Not having a solid lumbar support system is massive deal breaker for me, the whole point of ergonomic chairs is to provide high quality and excellent back support with no compromises. Otherwise, the premium price they charge is totally ridiculous.
WONDERFUL
Will you do a full review of the Zody as well? Also, what would be a short comparison between it and the Leap v2? Keep up the good work!
That's the plan! Thank you! -GK
Having used both, Zody is fantastic chair. However, Leap v2 is better especially if you are older!
i have both the Zody(older model) and the leapv2. I feel WAY WAY better in the Zody than the leap. the comfort of the seat is very great.. the leapv2 seat isn't comfortable for me at all. I also had the gesture ( that was worse. i returned it ). If you are big and tall, the zody is your chair if you don't want to get the executive chairs (serta ).. Sometimes youtube reviews can be misleading, you've got to try the chair for yourself and don't let people's reviews dictate your decisions ( we're all individuals ) - that's the mistake I made on the leapv2
I have this chair, bought it about 2011. The tag hanging from the front of the seat (sewn into the edge) is terrible and I cut it off and thew it away. After 2 days the lumbar support broke off and when I called, they wanted info off the tag that I had cut off. Was so annoyed to have a broken, un-returnable chair from day 2.. I've had to keep it and it's been pretty good and has been OK for my lower back even without the lumbar support (although I did just stick it back in, but it is broke.) The cons: It is heavy to drag around on the (low) pile carpet. The arm rests eventually gave out a year ago and I bought some fake arms to put on. The seat and the back have a few worn places. I think my biggest complaint is that the mesh and the stuff in the back are huge dust catchers and the mesh is impossible to get properly clean. I try to vacuum, use a wet rag, etc. It always looks dusty and unclean.The up/down mechanism is wearing out and goes through periods of dropping down. Then it seems to go away for awhile. In all, expect about 10 years of heavy use.

@@7AirCanuck7 I wouldn't select this chair if you need serious lumbar support.
How about a headrest on a zody ?
Nice
can you lock in a recline position
How about merryfair forte or fulkrum
how does this compare with the Steelcase Think V2? Any pointers?
way better..
would you recommend this one for a 5'2" guy?
Yes. I'm small stature. I sat on this chair for 4 years at work and it's really comfortable.
@@incyphe agree, i finally bought it one week ago
@@kojimafideo5899 bro how are your thighs? Lagpas ba sa seat depth or it's just alright?
@@jaysonobos5094 my thighs are very well, the only thing i am not 100% satisfied is armrests, i have to open my elbows a bit, but is good enough
A+++++++
What is like about this chair and that its so light only 19lbs i believe. My steel leaps are so hard to move around , at 50lbs. also I like the loose mesh, the recline feels more comfortable than in fabric chairs, cuz it feels flexible.
The Zody weighs 50 lbs. -RB
@@btodtv You sure? It feels like half the weight of my leap v1 when i lift it up. its listed as 19lb on amazon
The Zody is a heavy chair. It has a bunch of metal in its frame and it has a heavy mech. Haworth lists the weight at 55 pounds in their pricer as well as their Amazon listing. -RB
Such a shame this company doesn't have a showroom in the UK for customers to test it out. Even the retailers which sell this chair don't have any physical stores, meaning that you're going to lose money if you purchase this online and have any issues with it.
It’s a shame we don’t have a showroom or Haworth? -GK
@@btodtv Haworth lol. Although, I wish you guys were based in the UK, would make it so much easier to visit your showroom and try absolutely everything out.
This chair is complete disappointing trash. No way should this be ranked as A tier. The back offers no support and forces you to lean back uncomfortably the only other option is to lean even further back. Definitely going to return it. I will say the seat cushion is fantastic but that’s of little saving grace.
does forward tilt fix that backrest issue?
@@theorncampbell4432 no it just forward tilts and makes the lean back longer.
