Frankly, I love the chair. I do have to have something under my feet but after a couple weeks of use, my back feels so much better. Yes, you'll be sore while your back adjusts. You have been sitting wrong for a long time. But I am a real person, real customer, really happy with the chair. To each their own.

"No way to relive pressure on the legs" - GREAT POINT TY!

I mentioned in the video that All33 quoted a return would cost $200 to $300. I asked them to schedule everything to return the chair, and they had UPS pickup the boxed up chair a few days later. It cost me $118.28 to return the chair (from San Jose, CA), and I was refunded the rest. A lot of money but not as bad as expected.

I saw this video about one hour after placing my order. I immediately emailed ALL33 asking if they could please cancel my order. Unfortunately, they said they could not, but did tell me to go ahead and refuse the shipment. They’d refund me my total cost if I did that. The chair arrived very quickly, just three days after placing my order. I weighed out refusing but curiosity got the best of me. I very carefully unpacked it, fully expecting to be re-packing it for return (at my cost, I knew). All I’ll say is that I’m SO GLAD they didn’t cancel my order. I’m 59 years old and have sat in a LOT of business chairs over the years. I’ve never experienced the comfort I get from this chair. It’s amazing, and I’m thrilled with it. They’d have to send armed guards to get it back now.

Thank you for this review. Very helpful.

Thanks for the video, you might have just saved me $800! I'm also 6' and 175 lbs so I'm sure I'll be on the same boat as you.

I just bought a black leather one used in a very good condition for $150. Hopefully it will work out

This is a great video, showing ROM, good points and bad points. Sorry your experience wasn't the best, but I think it will save some (like me) the hassle of investing this much money into something that isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Thanks for the video! I just got it and while I don’t mind the lower lumbar support from the bucket seat (kinda the whole gimmick of the chair) I do feel the same pressure and pain on the bottom/outer sides of my buttocks/thighs. Gonna give it a week see if it fades but good to know it’s not just me. A sore butt is not worth the chair.

The most important concept here is that the seat bucket will move forward with you while helping support some extension of your lumbar spine. In other words there is allowable motion that will not occur in a stationary chair. Just how you adapt to and use that concept may require some training. Most people are tending to “ the cradle position” you refer to and rounding of the lower back. This among other things leads to progressive shortening of some muscles and shutting down of your gluts. Sitting, however you slice it leads to significant wear on your body and the spine seated and flexed forward is indeed the worst position for us to sustain. It is critical to be able to vary and change positions throughout the work period. This is indeed a work chair that I believe encourages a certain amount of that positive load variance. I would caution against the “comfort chair” that will show its consequences when you return to weight bearing. I do believe the new generation of the chair is addressing some of the issues you pointed out .

Great video

thank you. appreciate the video!

thanks for making this, back to the search for my next office chair. have you tried the steelcase leap v1 or autonomous kinn?

Thankyou for your real life review...you saved me the hassle and money!!!

I'm a product designer and there are a lot of issues that are preventable here. It's impressive how much they boast their innovative design yet miss the mark on some basic principles. Great video!!

If you have been slouching for so long, trying to do the right posture does become painful at first. Definitely something you need to get used to. I slouch often and whenever I try to correct my posture, it feels awkward, to say the least. As for the pinching caused by the chair on your thighs, I can see that’s a design fault as the part where you sit has quite some sharp edges, and cushioning won’t save that because the thighs will just keep pressing against that sharp edge. I am considering buying this chair because of my lower back pain. The swiveling motion to push forward the lower back does make as that’s what lumbar support pillows are intended to do. But I want to see first how it’s been for people who have used it, especially with the other design cues the chair has. That pinching on the thighs is a good point and I know how uncomfortable sitting on chairs like that could become.

I love my chair!

Wow. So glad I watched this.

Cost of chair = $100 Cost of celebrity endorsements = $700 Got it.

so much plastic for 800$ yikes. thanks for the heads up!

Thank you for doing this video. It doesn't seem that the chair has a height adjustment?

On the website they say give it a fair 1-2weeks for your body to adjust to the chair if you're feeling any this comfort. How long have you tested this chair?

I recently got a refurbished one and it came REALLY beat up - for $550, I expected maybe lightly used, but this was VERY scratched up, deep groove, bent bottom, and the box was really beat up as well. It should be called used and abused. Don't invest in that, just get the new one if you want to try it.

other reviewer seem to either paid or want to be paid by saying good things about this chair, or have never try other ergonomic chair. i mean with that price you can get a herman miller or steelcase chair that has already been proven on relieving back issues for years. even though this concept sounds cool the product looks like a prototype at most

Thanks

did you try to sit in with a lower height for longer time?. I think if you keep it lower and somehow have table height adjusted it should work.?

Super helpful!

I luv it. I did notice it more comfortable for me if I tilt the arms when I wasn't taking call. Just having the arm level wasn't comfortable for me.

I was contemplating this chair. I'm not a petite little fairy, and my worry apart from MORe pain when I am aiming for less, is that behind the leg compression/pain. Can we say ... sitting for long periods, with squished major blood vessels ... blood clot potential?? No thank you.

Thank God I saw this video it’s on shark tank tonight this chair looks like a loser

I know you don't like this chair but you are sitting in perfect posture without you even knowing about it.

Did you ever find a chair that did work? I'm struggling to find the right office chair that doesn't give me upper back and neck pain.

I just received my chair and I am very disappointed. I am too small for it, I can't even make it pivot.

Awesome review, just by looking at you sit on it, it does not look comfortable at all.

The KZfaq creator isn’t sitting in the chair the way the manufacturer recommends. You’re not supposed to lean onto the upper back when sitting to work.

Wtf $200-300 to return? That’s not shipping, sounds like a bs restocking fee.

Terrible chair, and to think there are people out there claiming it's better than Herman Miller and Steelcase chairs. 🤦

The Quality looks very cheap

Thing looks cheap af.

Chair looks so fucking ugly. I’d never buy that idgaf if it’s the best chair or healthier
