Most of these arent really ergonomic chairs in my opinion. I'd consider them executive chairs suitable for a conference room rather than tasking at a desk
Just my thoughts here, but I think it'd be a nice follow up for you to make a video titled something "How much more than 200$ should you spend on a chair", where you go up in chair prices until you get to a point where you can honestly recommend the chair as "having everything you want, anything more is purely luxery if you have more money to spend".
I'm one of those who doesn't mind spending a more (not a fortune either of course) if it'll get me more functionnality/long term durability and those kinds of videos I feel are kinda few and far between on youtube.
Great vid though, gained a sub
100% agree, always find that bottom of the barrel prices on most goods gives you trash that won't last while spending top prices isn't worth it for the majority of us. Having a sweet spot to aim for would be nice!
This is where I feel BTOD have done a much better job, as they have recommended chairs for each price bracket.
This is a perfect idea and exactly what I want lol
No hate but when you said, "5 foot 11 .... 5 foot 12..." That got me laughing real good haha! Thanks for the budget minded round up!
The Sorina was the last chair I had before I got my Embody gaming chair last year. Maybe I got a bad one, but after 6-7 months of use, the faux leather started to crack and peel, exposing the fabric and stuffing underneath. Just something to note that wouldn't be revealed until down the line. It was decently comfy, and the flip up arms were plus. But I found the lack of adjustability in the back rest and the lackluster quality in the upholstery to be big factors for me to ditch cheaper chairs and splurge on something more premium. Oh and congrats on #3!
Nah you didn't get a bad one. All fake leather eventually cracks and peels apart until you're just sitting on the white plastic material underneath. My first computer chair from Staples did that and a task chair I bought used for $10 at a garage sale did the same thing. The latter was barely used and within that same timeline the fake leather was all broken apart. For long use fabric is the way to go until the the padding goes flat. Mesh is only long terms if it's a high end chair like Herman Miller. I had a Office Depot mesh chair fail within the year where the mesh seat stretched out on about 8 hours a day use. I was sitting on the plastic frame, got it replaced once, and it did the same thing within a year. the company eventually just refunded me rather than send me replacement parts and chairs.
Nah, you definitely didn't get a bad chair, as I had the exact same experience with 3 executive chairs that my family bought from Staples several years ago.
You just saved me from buying it. Thank you very much
Heyo loving your videos. I appreciate how you take so many things into consideration anywhere from height and weight to how people like to sit! Really awesome!
I've tried researching for chairs that are comfortable enough to sleep in but havent been able to find anything. I was hoping you'd have suggestions at different price points for me who's 5'2.
Thanks for the round-up! Would also love to get your thoughts on the Ayalon and Workplace Bedford (used to be the Union & Scale 5-80M) in the future!
hey, in part 1 you talked about the clatina mellet and i was pretty interested, but sadly it isnt available in the netherlands. so do you have some recommandaties for similair chairs, or a way to have access to it in the netherlands (btw i love the videos)
I did not comprehend the difference in our height and build which turned out to considerably change our experience with the Sorina... is what I'd say if Staples hadn't sent me the generic version of the chair.
Please help my comment get noticed! Thank you!!
Been loving the content!!! My cheap Costco chair finally kicked the bucket and the backrest snapped. I would love to know what chair you would recommend for a 6"2 200lb that's in the 200-300 dollar range.
Congrats on baby number 3!
Congrats on baby #3!
I posted this on one of the comments but I just got a dexley and it has variable tilt lock not just straight upright. Its in the assembly guide but I figured it out just messing around with it.
Hi Dan this is a very specific question but do you have any recommendations for someone with cocyx / tailbone issues?
I bruised mine about a year ago and since then don't sit at my desk alot because of it I have an IKEA jarvfjallet but found the seat very hard so got a cushion with the cutout but because it raises me up so much I have to lower the seat which actually makes it a bit uncomfortable and renders the lumbar support useless. The pillow doesn't really do it after a while I feel discomfort especially when getting up.
If you've any recommendations that would be great thanks
Hey, what do you think about Sihoo Doro C300?
Helo ahnly, would you recommend benel q mesh highback?
Staples Ayalon chair is the best they sell. Its $250. I actually replaced my Haworth Fern with it, because the fern became uncomfortable to me after a year and I started having low pack pain with it. The Aylon is incredibly comfortable for its price. The seat is firmer than the Fern, but softens up after breaking in.
The best part though is that I feel it will last for years and not flatten out. I can sit in this chair for 8+ hours and when I get up the cushion is still like I never sat in it at all, nice and firm and plush. Also, it has the same tension system as the Fern, comes with Synchro tilt and tilt lock.
My only (minor) complaint would be the the back lumbar position. The lumbar is built in with the s-curve shape and actually feels a lot more supportive than my Fern did without the added lumbar, but since im 6'2 its just a tad lower on my back than id like, but its only an issue when im sitting with the back completely up straight. Once you lean back a little it really nestles into the sweet spot of your low back.
OOO good to know. I wanted to do a $300 version in the near future. Thank you!
I'm trying out the Ayalon right now and I do kind of love this chair. The arm rests and how easy they move drives me a little crazy but otherwise its been surprisingly comfy
I have a cheap Costco chair with a similar backrest design and after a few years, the plastic on the backrest actually snapped. That's one thing that worries me about the Ayalon.
@@Ahnestly Its actually a combination of chairs from Eurotech. It has the Eurotech Exchange backrest, with the Eurotech Vera seat, arms and wheelbase. Wha'ts crazier is the Exchange is marked as a $900 chair from Eurotech, and the Vera is almost $1000 from them. BTOD sells the Vera for $460, yet you can get this combo chair from Staples for $250.
BTOD also sells a headrest for the Vera for $60, but it fits the backrest of the Ayalon (Exchange) perfectly. So that is another option if people want a chair with a headrest.
Would love it if you did a video that included this chair, cause its seriously great.
@@kalebaskwith3984 See my other comments about this chair. As I said, its actually a combination of parts of much higher quality chairs from Eurotech that Staples sells in their own custom config for dirt cheap. But the chair (other than the armrests) is really high quality. I foresee this chair lasting me a long long time.
Hey I’m looking for a chair, and I am from UK. Which video would you suggest to me. Keeping in mind I need delivery to UK. Budget is £300 or less.
Few of them recline in a locked position. 10 years ago, all of them did.
I found all the staples chairs i tried were uncomfortable.
Some serious issues with the Dexley worth mentioning:
1. Loosening seat mesh - tends to loosen up significantly within around a year, at which point you start to feel serious pressure on your thighs from the front edge of the seat frame.
2. Upright tilt lock recline - When tilt locked upright, the backrest still tilts about 10-15 degrees. There is virtually no way to task fully upright in a Dexley. This design flaw drives many users crazy.
3. The seat frame is constricting for users with thick thighs, but the armrests are very far apart.
As a Dexley owner, #2 is why I'm looking into other options for a future upgrade.
Edit: Otherwise, no complaints, countered the other two issues mentioned here with a seat cushion.
not sure if they just changed this but i just got one and the seat back has variable tilt lock and can be locked in a few positions
@@crazedaze6395 Does it still recline a bit in its most upright tilt-locked position?
@@jackboxer7537 no, if i sit forward to push in the handle it stays in the upright position but if my back is touching in any way it will lock onto the next position and lean back a bit. I am guessing that is what you are describing. Also i only have the chair for 2 full days so maybe it happens in time not sure. Seems to be 3 tilt lock positions upright, middle and all the way back
Maybe you can help me with this. I’m looking for the perfect chair to complete my new gaming set up. I’m 6 foot even and around 280 pounds I sit either tucked or standard and most of the time some lean or slouch. I was planning to go with the titan Evo XL and I’m OK with a budget as of such, new or preowned also must be cloth. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Good to see we agree the Carder is the best Staples chair under $200. I also agree that its armrests are too far forward.
I am very curious whether the Carder's armrests can be installed backward, and whether that would set them too far back or closer to just right.
Edit: The Carder's specs mention an unusually low maximum seat height? Can you confirm please? 🙏
I got the Shaq endorsed chair from staples. I actually like it a lot!
i got a clantina ergonmic for like 200 and its great. cool to see some comparing
Man, the clatina mellet is just such a good deal....hard to imagine anything beating it. Although, it's jumped quite a bit in price, putting it in a new tier of competition. Working on a solid list of chairs under $300 to compare!
@@Ahnestly yeah it goes for like 270 (with headrest) now i got for way less last year! Great chair just wish it had some upper back lumbar
Man, i see you're hiring. Wish i was closer. Im all the way down in southern DE.
awesome ass video bro!!! lets gooo
Congratz on baby number 3!
Thank you!!
I've had the Sorina for 3-4 years. Other than developing some loud squeaks when you sit down, stand up, or shift your weight, it's been a good chair.
Do you think using lubricant would help with the squeaks?
@@Yuriyalloween it does for a week or so. Doesn't last long.
Watching uncle Dan with baby #1 today, 3 months old and she loves chair reviews!
Dude. Congrats. The days are long, but the years go by fast as hell. Hope you enjoy and cherish every minute of it! Also, when your baby starts talking, highly recommend you keep a record of all the insane/hilarious things they say. My wife and I keep a shared Note on our iphones and we look back on them and die laughing. And we will use it to embarrass them on their wedding day. LOL.
I'll kiss you if you review the airCentric 3 and the sCentric from Staples.
You should look into Global chairs as well (the Obusforme Comfort for example).
Have you tried the Ergohuman 2?
thanks for including a chair for the big and tall, as a 6'4" 330lbs person its so hard to find chairs at a reasonable price, unfortunately my budget is still severly limited
Tall freaks of nature have a special place in my heart :-p
Big and tall has always been a tough market. I wish I knew more people that were super tall too to get them into the studio to test chairs!
We don’t call you a 6’4 330Lbs a person we call you a Fucking unit or a behemoth in a nice way my guy
I already own your #1 pick!
Curious about your thoughts on it! I'm sure others would love to know too!!
Multifunction mechanism! That's what the Carder has that allows you to adjust the backrest angle independently of the seat angle. It's actually quite common in the chair market!
It's a very poorly implemented mechanism, hence why most high-end offics chairs don't use it.
@StardustLegacyFighter the multifunction mechanism itself can be robust. It's just not very user-friendly with its plethora of intimidating levers, nor the most ergonomic because it discourages movement.
@@jackboxer7537Hence why it's found on so many standard office chairs, but not ones that are ergonomic.
I'm looking for a good chair that is able to go as high as standing. Any suggestions because I'm looking to build a desk that is on e height
I remember HM selling the Aeron draught chair with a built-in stool.
Would the Dexley mesh work well for tall people too? I’m 6’4 and a very athletic 230lbs
You should definitely avoid the Dexley. Not only would the seat mesh loosen up quickly under your weight, but the seat doesn't or barely raises high enough for your height.
The carder looks like a sihoo m18 without a headrest, but better adjustment controls.
Yeah if the Carder had a headrest, it would def be a hands down winner. The cushion I think is better than SIHOO too (similar material, but thicker)
Can you do IKEA office chairs next?
Already did one! A whileeee back!
Can you do a lazy boy office chair review?
This is a video I am very interested in making. Need some time to make it, but look out for it in the future!
5foot 12 :) some say 6 feet
how convenient that this drop sjust as my friend is complaining about his cheap chair
sadly it doesnt ship to germany :(
Have you tried the Costco gaming chairs?
Now you release this video! Think of all that money I could have saved! Ha Ha Ha........ I just bought a Herman Miller Embody x Gaming with Atlas Headrest for my office and handed my Haworth Fern with Atlas Headrest to my daughter! Your vids are very informative and precise. 100% agree with your reviews. Although, you should prob stop producing vids now, I have no more money! LOL
You've already got one of the best chairs ever made, lol.
None of these picks from Staples can remotely compare, regardless of the fact that they're significantly cheaper.
None of them have the durability, ergonomic adjustments, or warranty to rival the Embody.
At the end of the day, one shouldn't cheap out on back health.
You are one of few that tell it how it is :-). Great video!
I wouldn't recommend these types of "office" chairs to anyone because I've had a pretty terrible experience with them.
Those executive chairs with zero ergonomic adjustments look fancy, but the fake leather on them peels off faster than a monkey peeling a banana.
Dan i really hope u see my comment am in trouble and struggle for past 2 years i can't really find the best chairs for me i had by 3 and broke i don't know what should i do am 6'5 tall and 260 lbs and my budget is open but i just want a really good and durable chair can hold me and contains me that's it thank u
