Thank you for this video. Going in line with your last video, websites doing "best chair lists" like to promote the ergomic branch chair and I think it goes in line with exactly what you said, catches the eye, is cheap and gets people to click the affiliate link and make a purchase

I have the ergonomic chair for at least a year now and I had no idea you could move the seat forward... OMG my legs feel so much better, it was like sitting on the edge of a fence for over a year.... This changes everything.. I almost bought a herman miller aeron just now, but I saw this video. THANKS

I just received the Ergonomic chair (before finding any unbiased reviews) and I don’t find it that comfortable either and it feels like I’m in a recline position (which they say is better for the spine, but it doesn’t seem as supportive to me). What do you recommend at a similar price point or slightly higher (but not a $1k chair)? Thank you in advance!!

Thank you guys for another very informative video, could you help me choose a chair, please? I spend mostly 4-5 hours on the computer daily, just surfing /gaming and I've tried out the gesture and didn't like the seat cushion as it was too hard for my comfort. I've noticed that I also like to lean back in the chair a lot. All in all I really loved every single feature of the gesture chair except for the seat cushion. Thank you.

is it really THAT bad the ergonomic chair? does the backrest is really that uncomfortable as mentioned? (like you can literally feel the shapes). Would you recommend the Ergonomic chair for a 6"3 person? is the seat cushion firm enough to not sink easily and therefore, to not feel the bottom of the chair?

@kennethgregorio4472 2 жыл бұрын

Really interesting video! You guys should look into Okamura office chairs. I heard they’re pretty much in line with the Herman Miller Aeron (especially their Contessa Seconda model).

I would say they are a noticeable step down from Herman Miller when it comes to quality and comfort. They are on par with the look though. We were just at their showroom a couple weeks ago and got a chance to sit in a handful of models. -RB

I bought one a year ago and it has not held up well. The chair covering is shredded and was pilling within weeks. The wheels get a lot less smooth. The arms wobble like crazy and tightening doesn't help. It's basically like any other cheap chair, but it cost me $300.

Have you guys heard of AllSteel chairs? I was wondering why there are not many reviews out there since these chairs are in the price range of Steelcase and HermanMiller. Thnx.

@btodtv 2 жыл бұрын

It’s because they are a contract line of furniture which means it is very difficult for one individual person to buy one of their chairs unless it is on the second hand market. Our channel caters to individuals so we focus on chairs that are accessible to most people. Brands like Haworth, Steelcase and Herman Miller have done a good job of making their chairs available to individuals so we have focused more on brands like those. -RB

The Ergonomic chair's armrests don't lock into place. When you stand up holding the armrests, they slide around (a lot!). Otherwise, it's a great chair. Branch really needs to address that nagging issue though.

Branch has awful quality control! I received a defective seat that wouldnt lock into place and slid forward (impossible to slide back while sitting). Seat is also very hard and lumbar support too low on highest setting. Arm rests useless, wobbly and also slides forward and back super easily. Very unhappy with it overall. Will try to sell it.

I bought the task chair based on this review and it was an awful mistake. The chair itself is comfortable and issue with that but the cushion material I have no idea what did they do to make it that bad. It is like sitting on grill because of the amount of heat your body generate and has no where to go. I have never set on material that bad even with 10 dollar chair.

I bought their ergomic chair about a year ago based on a lot of great reviews. Really a piece of garbage. I switched back to my old chair and was going to use this one for another desk before I realized I was just taking up space for something I never want to sit in and put it out on the curb on garbage day. It was just horribly uncofomfortable no matter how it was adjusted. Also nothing connects flush or firm. Every single thing moves and rattles even when locked into place. It's just very a very cheap, low quality chair masqurading as "ergonomic" and somehow getting good reviews. I imagine people giving it the good reviews never actually used it for more than 1/2 hour. The branch website will not post poor reviews by the way.

This chair is terrible. Feels like a typical cheap office chair. Almost all plastic, the seat cushion is hard as a rock as are the arm rests. Don’t waste your money.
