I'm glad someone is reviewing Steelcase chairs. I'm in my first non-Steelcase chair in 8 years, and even though the one I got is nice and comfortable, I am still going back to Steelcase. Aeron chairs are great for small tech workers or small gamers, but a solid Steelcase chair is night and day better for larger tech workers or gamers.

@@badbrunette412 Steel has multiple models. The mostly steel ones with the most support are the pricyest. I got an average or above average chair from staples, and just got a very good purple seat cushion. It has hard plastics on the frame and armrest, so there is some flex, but not terrible. But with this chair you realize how good the best steelcase chairs are. I would start with a good chair + purple seat cushion, and then save up for the best steelcase one. Or if you are smaller, aeon chairs are comfortable and have good airflow. Also very expensive though.

Ughhh, I wish this video came out last week while I was searching for a chair for my new condo!!! I was so stuck between the branch chair, series 1, and series 2! I decided to go with the series 2 in the end with the 3d microknit back and lumbar support!!! I ordered it last weekend and it's coming in a few days and I'm super excited to finally upgrade from my cheap Ikea chair! Will be doing a review on it too!!! Anyways, this was an awesome in-depth comparison that will help so many people out! Your production quality is awesome and I'm definitely subbing to you! I love keyboards too! 😁

Amazing review! I got the Series 1 with a headrest and I love it. I’ve been using it every day for almost 6 months and the seat feels just as good as the day it arrived - no compression of the foam. Another slight downside (aside from the ones you noted) is how easily the arm rest slides around. I wish it could lock or had a little more resistance.

I think Branch made updates to this chair. I just bought one last week and the arm rests are just like the chair you compared it to on your review. It is not hard plastic but kind of a foamy plastic. Also, I have zero issues with the lumbar support, maybe it's my anatomy but it's quite comfortable for me. It also rolls perfectly fine on hard floors. Either these things were fixed by Branch or you were nitpicking.

I have the option from my company, to pick for free either the Steelcase Series 1, the Sedus Quarterback or a height adjustable desk! Do you have an opinion on what to pick? As much as I tried searching, I can't find any reviews/opinions on the Sedus chair... Just by the looks, I find the Sedus chair more attractive, plus it has a larger back, but on the other hand I think Steelcase is a bigger brand, I have found quite good reviews on the Series 1 and I can also take the headrest as well with the chair... I am 5'07" and I have a few extra weight (but nothing too much). Did you perhaps find the seat of the Series 1 on the "small" side? By the looks of it, it seems like a small chair and not sure if it will be comfortable for someone with a few weight more... I usually spend around 8-10 hours on my chair for work, since I work remotely... Finally do you think that a chair is a better buy than a height adjustable desk? Thanks for the opinion/feedback!!

Hey Praxis! I have tried the Ergo Chair 2 in the past and the quality feels similar to the Laura Davidson and Branch (I believe they might be made in the same factory 😳! At least they share the same brand of seat mechanism). The big plus with the Ergo Chair is the head rest if you care about this, I personally didn't find the headrest that comfortable to see it as an important feature. Also the ErgoChair 2 was too large for my girlfriend. I believe Autonomous raised their prices quite a bit recently too. The Kinn is now $800 CAD here in Canada which I personally find way too expensive. I would get a Series 1 or 2 any day over Autonomous chairs, especially if the Steelcase are cheaper 😅

What's the reason for most ergo office chairs lacking a decent recline? I'm in the market for a chair, coming from a stupid "gaming" chair. I bought it because it looked comfy, had a footrest and reclined very far back. The gas lift and recline lock are faulty now and it hurts my back,but I do like the far recline. I imagine ill miss it when I'm watching a video or using a controller and want to relax.

That's a very big difference in price, and also in the range of product from Steelcase (their cheapest vs. the best chair they offer) 😅 I will definitely keep my Gesture for my full time work, but I won't mind sitting on the Series 1 when I'm using my 2nd setup for gaming or filming videos. I think the Gesture might be the better buy if you sit 10+ hours a day given the level of support and adjustments it offers, that's kind of the reason why I would go with the Gesture over a cheaper Series 1 or 2 variant. Also, the arm rests are some of the best!!

Branch chair lumbar support can be removed further by unscrewing the whole panel from the body with a hex key. There's still a small mounting plate connected to the frame that should be removable with an angled philips head screwdriver so your lower back doesn't dig into the part sticking out. Removing this, makes the Brach much better and good enough to sit in for longer periods. It really should have been more like a wide strip like the Steelcase Think V2.

Just think about how much you might save from the chiropractor, or just the pain alone. Your back and health in general are priceless! What blows my mind is some people spend a fortune in hardware and gadgets they don’t need then buy cheap and horrible chairs.

Been using Steelcase Series 2 for more than half a year. It's been a worthwhile investment as I sit for 8+ hours a day. No sign of wear nor flimsiness so far. Spec: White frame with Jay Blue fabric, 3D Microknit + lumbar support, 4-way adjustable arm rests, headrest & hard floor wheels.

@@Dmwntkp99 Nope, it still feels the same like day one. It also remained consistent throughout whole day of sitting. It's worth noting that the seat cushion is on the firm side, which is apparently a trait of Steelcase chairs even at the highest end according to BTOD.com. I assume it helps with supportiveness and longevity. FYI I'm weight 65kg and 168cm tall.
