Why You SHOULD Buy a Used Office Chair
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed 4 měsíci
There are many benefits of a used office chair to a brand new one, not just price! Brand name is important and making sure you can get a quality brand not a cheap no name brand from amazon shipped direct is very important. Buying used saves a lot with how many offices have closed down over the past few years and sellers often have lots of supply.

Herman Miller Celle Chair Review - Why I love it so much
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 2 lety
An extremely well made chair by Herman Miller that I am a big fan of. I still use an Aeron for my main chair but this is a very close second. It has great adjustments and is extremely well built. I would say if you are above average height then it would work best.
Steelcase Think Chair Review - A Disappointment?

My opinion of the Steelcase Think V1 chair. A very high quality brand but a mid range chair. Whether this is right for you will depend on what your budget is and how appealing you find it. Comment your thoughts if you have a different opinion :)

How To build A Cheap Gaming PC In 2022
zhlédnutí 51Před 2 lety
In my opinion this is the best way to go about building a gaming PC that won't break the bank. A graphics card 3-5 years old is still very adequate to run most games these days on medium settings. For the CPU performance it isn't something I worry about in mine since most modern games are GPU bottlenecked anyway. For harddrive a solid state drive (SSD) will take you miles, you can get a decent ...
Okamura Contessa Chair vs Herman Miller Aeron - THE Aeron Vanquisher?
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 2 lety
A review of the Okamura Contessa office chair. I find this chair very comfortable, I make some comparisons in this video to the Herman Miller Aeron since that is a chair I have used and like a lot. It is a similar chair in a lot of ways but a lot more adjustable. I think for someone a bit shorter than myself (5'11") that it would probably be more comfortable, just that I feel myself that the Ae...
The Chimp Paradox - Dumbed Down Pseudo-Psychology - A Review
zhlédnutí 963Před 2 lety
The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters is a very popular intro to self help book that argues that you can split your brain/personality into a Chimp half (irrational, emotive, needy, undisciplined) and a human half (rational, calm, driven). For those unfamiliar with any psychological concepts this can be a useful exercise but ultimately is baseless, unscientific and copies the theories of far more ac...

Dude seriously? How tall are you? How much do you weight? We need that info
6 feet tall, 90kg
I lost my shoe, too, bro.
I hope you've read and taken on board the comments here. Whilst I do have some reservations about this book, I think that some of the things you have said about it are simply factually incorrect. I agree with the comment that (despite finding it 'a slog') you may need to read it again and pay more attention. As has been stated, he is not saying that something is good, bad or to be ignore, but more about an awareness of how we respond and managing that, to get optimal results. In other words to make the best of both the primitive parts of the brain and our ability to think logically. I hope you're not a psychology student - if you are, let's hope you have made some progress since this review.
I can see this is a great chair, and looks like you rate this as highly as the Regeneration chair. If you had a choice between the Contessa vs the Knoll Regeneration which would you choose? Mostly for comfort, not adjustability. Thanks!
Really enjoy your chair reviews. I think I've watched most of them. Just wondering, does the Regeneration have a similar seat to the Generation? i.e. a kind of perforated plastic base that the cushion goes over? So you sink into the seat, rather than it being flat. Thanks
Haworth Fern lol
Damn good chair
We are hunter/gatherers by nature. The hunter (ectomorph, vs meso/endo) IS the predator. The problem arises out of Fear of the Tyrant and it's resulting toxic buildup inside the bodies of high testosterone, often low discipline men.
I've been a Herman Miller snob for decades. Needed a new chair. Just got a used Generation in great shape at a moving out everything goes sale for $10 (asking $70). The height adjustment is broke but its perfect height for me. This chair is awesome. Two days and my back feels fantastic. Ya, I got the deal of the year. Thanks for the review.
We’re all predatory to begin with but whatever.
Sorry this is a crap build, tried it...couldn't wait to get back to my main.
Jordan is so wrong, female political action has been recorded fir hundreds of years. There was een a female king of Egypt, Joan of Arc, and many others. He keeps trying to make up stories.
2:22 I am astonished that this was the only video I found, searching for how others described the experience of being surrounded by predatory men as a lone female, where women in the majority of the videos I saw in my search were labeled as "the predator" men should look out for. Murder, tape, sodomy, torture.... are more male "activities" than female ones. Shocking, the manifest misogyny, as well as it's acceptance.
I just got an 18 year old Mirra for $60. Took it apart and cleaned it and repaired one of the bolt holes on the back mesh, and it still feels incredibly solid and premium. These things are not only elegantly designed but extremely durable.
Absolutely fantastic chairs. Not uncommon to see them last 15 years
@@modernexploration5282 Just sat in it all day today for the first time. Still feels very solid, super comfortable, and no sweaty back.

Hello sir sand nambar please
Helpful review. Quick question (I'm not sure if you've mentioned it), how tall are you? This is one of the biggest factors I am thinking about, as I am 6'7/8 and your shoulders are only just about at the top. Been looking for a new chair and have been doing lots of research. I know the Aeron does not "officially" support my height, but then again, none do so I have to make do. Very useful video, thanks!
I'm 6 feet tall. The Aeron size C is a good fit for me although at your height it would probably come under your shoulders. However that doesn't mean it would be uncomfortable. Chairs for extremely tall people are rare although I have a friend who is 6'6 and has a steelcase please V2 which has a tall back
Varies _a lot_ depending on your local market. Here in Finland used Herman Millers and Steelcase chairs _exist,_ but they are nowhere near as plentiful as in the US or UK, and consequently used prices are a lot higher. Hayworth and Knoll, and many other brands are completely unheard of here. It took me two years of listening for deals to find myself a moderate condition Mirra 1 for 250€, and I know that sounds like I got ripped off compared to US/UK prices, but on this market that's a steal - these rarely go under 400€ used (and when they do appear, they're usually gone in literal minutes), often closer to 600€. Still better buy than any Ikea/furniture store/gaming chair I've been using in the past.
Agreed so many companies bought great chairs for employ to work at home throughout Covid. Its awesome people didn't pay 1k for them so they have little attachment to let them go for £100. My decked out £1,244.40 Orangbox Eva cos me £120
Something not mentioned here is that office chairs often have a lot more adjustability than cheap "home office" chairs. At work, my chair looks very simple, but in addition to the standard lift up and down, and back tilt, it also allows the seat to tilt forwards or back, the back rest can be raised or lowered to place the lumbar support in the right position, and the lumbar support can be inflated or deflated.
Absolutely.
vertical video. + 'you should buy a used office chair' + 'i have sold a lot of office chairs' = dodgy as fuck.
I know what good office chairs are because I've had to buy and sell a lot of them. I sell single office chairs to occasional people in the UK lol, I'm not being paid by any companies
I'm guessing you don't have any serious allergies lol.
No although nothing a good clean wouldn't fix
I've been using my Ikea Markus for about 4 years now. It's incredibly durable considering my use - most chairs don't last longer than 2 years (I'm extremely careless). I don't like the level of comfort, but I know that I'd fuck up a more comfortable chair in under a week (I did that to the backup chair I bought just in case). If you're looking for durability and want something brand new, consider Markus.
Hmm used a Markus for a while and was so thankful I switched to a better office chair. The back is not very flexible and the adjustments overall are lackluster I feel. If you are fine with it then ok to keep it but I promise you you are missing out on a lot of comfort not trying out some other used ones on the market in your local area
I've bought used office chairs in the past, and I highly recommend it. Got a Herman Miller Mirra 2 with all the extra features for $100 US and a Steelcase Please 2 for €85. Neither was pristine, but I got each of them on pretty short notice, so if I had a little more time to be picky, I think I could have found something even nicer. The Mirra was my absolute favorite chair, super comfortable, really well made. It did have a little tear in the mesh, but it didn't affect comfort/usability and it didn't worsen at all for the 4 years I had it. The white/light gray parts were a little discolored, but it still looked nice. The Please 2 was also good. The upholstery looked 98% like new, but the gas cylinder could've used a recharge, and the legs had some scratches on them. I didn't realize the armrests were connected to the lumbar, so when you press down on the armrests, the back of the chair pushes into you. Not a huge fan of this, but it's still much better than anything else I could have gotten new for that price.
Mirra is a really fantastic chair, super high quality, glad you enjoyed.
I did. I got a open box Hon Nucleus with a chipped rubber armrest for $100 a few years ago and it's till good as new. I just put on aftermarket armrests that are more comfy than the stiff originals.
Nice looking chair! Haven't used one myself but glad it is working well
Whats that thing in the clips below the seat?
Hmm I believe you are tlaking about the seat slide?
@@modernexploration5282 no, there's these 2 pieces of plastic holding somethings towards the middle front under the seat. Am I seeing that right?
wow first upload in nearly 2 years. nice to see you back
Thanks! Expect more chair reviews as well as rankings soon.
An office chair which don't let you nap doesn't worth even 100, whether ergonomic or not.
I picked up a brand new one for 300£ on ebay uk I'm happy with it the major problem I've had with other cheaper chairs is they just end up breaking over time this seems really well built and been using since July 23 and it's still as good as new (apart from my cats putting pulls in the fabric lol)
Best to get a quality office chair that will last years than most cheap ones that only last a year or two
Was having trouble with the armrest constantly going down. Thanks for showing me you have to push it down FIRST and then lift it up!
No problem, glad it helped
Ive considered Steelcase but the leap looks like an 80 dollar chair. The arm rests have a lot of play the chair wobbles in the base because the gas cylinder is so skinny theres high force on the mounting components. Does not make the impression like it could last 20 years like some Aerons and be basically good as new.
The aerons are super sturdy chairs. I agree on that. Unsure how long the steelcase last for but they aren't as well built overall I would say but still extremely high quality office chairs
good review. i wish i watched this before buying my used aeron because i paid extra money for one with posturefit as i assumed posturefit is better because it's more expensive and has depth adjustment. i completely agree with you that the standard posture pad is superior to posturefit because it can be adjusted up and down
Yes the posture bar feels a lot more comfortable. Despite the fancy adjustments of the pad it doesn't work too well imo
@@modernexploration5282 yeah it's far too low down. i have back pain on my upper/mid back but not my lower back
I’m reading it now and it repeatedly states that the chimp (emotions) is not ‘good’ or ‘bad’, that it can be your best friend or worst enemy. So whilst I agree that there is a heavy emphasis on emotion management I wouldn’t say that the message of the book is that emotions are bad. Also, I think the point of the book is to make applied psychology accessible to everyone. There is a lot of evidence in the field of education about how important metaphors are for communicating complex ideas especially anything medical in a way that makes them easy to grasp. I’d say the author has pretty good credentials and many decades of experience as a psychiatrist and also it’s really significant that he is a psychiatrist who is working outside the medical model.
Hey you mention in your vid that in your top three chairs the aeron is number one and the celle is in the list but you didnt say what the third chair was.
Hmmm there is lots of choice. Aeron is number 1. Other chairs like the Mirra, Celle, Steelcase Leap, Haworth Zody are all up there
Mam I want to say I have been searching for chairs, either the mirra 2 or aeron, and spent weeks so far watching videos and you are the first person I have seen talk about the back being flip-able to provide extra support or switch out the posture fit. Great content. Have you tried the remastered?
Appreciate the comment! I've tried the remastered aeron once in store. It was comfortable although offers different kind of support as it is more lower back focussed and you can't raise the height. I've heard many prefer the original aeron for that reason as well as it being much cheaper to buy used
Which seat pan is wider the aeron c or the mirra 2? Great content as well
Hmmm they are similar size I would say. For me the aeron size B feels a bit too small, mirra is probably between size b and c aeron
I think you should write a book. Sounds like you have quite a bit of knowledge.
Just a curious individual is all XD
It's "You're", not "Your" please fix the thumbnail. Sorry to be critical, but you're making Jordan Peterson fans look ignorant
Woops
Thanks for the upload! A comparison from a regular person is wonderfully valuable. As most reviews are done by used chair resellers, or reviewers who have affiliates with such resellers.
No affiliates here just honest opinions :)
ayy yoo, aerons with the waves
How flexible is the back though?(referring to the frame itself)
Hmm fairly flexible. Its no super taught and there is some give in the mesh which makes it comfy
Years ago my father was in furniture store, and he said to the guy there, i want this chair.. the one he was using. He said we are not selling those, but after offering him 500eur he sold it😀i always liked it and about 15 years later, i decided i want it too... had no idea what brand it is and it is not written anywhere on my fathers chair, or atleast my mom didn't find it... took quite an effort to find it😀 glad i did. It is still absolutely like new after ~15 years, admittedly it was not used extensively. Btw it seems to be quite rare in europe as there is not a single one for sale (or sold in last 100 days) on german ebay..
aeron is just unmatched. however i do prefer the remastered version with the posturefit sl. would love to see a review of the remastered version.
I've only tried it once in store
Ya'll about the be even MORE lonely
What. So you want women to help out a predator and help him find himself, like beauty and the beast. Women are tired, doesn't society see that. FIX the men and stop worrying about sex and women.
No it’s just the culture of having every man be a default predator is damaging to the relationship between men and women.
💯 & well said. I keep expecting JP to say something profound. Nope! He’s a man explaining how a woman needs to change to make the man feel like a man.
How does this compare to the steelseries amia?
Hmmm. Better in my opinion but it is less adjustable. I do find the chair more comfortable overall but possibly just my body shape
What used budget chair would you recommend to purchase in the UK? The best deal I could find were on thinks
Hey, loved your video, great comparison. I'm looking to buy a Mirra 2 or a Leap V2 in the UK. I know this video is from 2 years ago, but the prices you mentioned seemed very good. Where would you advise to look to buy a Leap V2 and/or a Mirra? Thanks!
Best place to find is facebook marketplace if you are ok with driving a little
