The Best Office Chairs - An 8 Year Test
Рет қаралды 1,074
Күн бұрынOver the last 8 years we’ve tested 7 different office chairs at a range of prices, from the ultra expensive $1.5K designer chair, to the budget friendly $300 value options, and several models in the middle. Is it really worth it to spend over $1,000 on a chair? Or can you get similar performance for less money?

#Officechair #Home #Office
Between our 5 person team we have 7 different office chairs that see regular use. The oldest 2 chairs have been in service for 8 years, while the remaining 5 chairs have been in service for 2 to 7 years. Most of these chairs are the single and primary chair for a single member of our team. As a result, they get the most wear and tear and we’ll have the best durability and longevity data for those chairs.
While these 7 chairs aren’t all encompassing of the entire office chair market, they do represent a wide price range with models between $300 and $1500. In addition, we have a number of chair types, including the high end designer, gaming, ultra plush, and more traditional options. The 7 chairs that we’re looking at today include the Herman Miller Aeron, DX Racer OH and DOH (now known as the Formula series), Oak Hollow Aloria, IKEA Markus, Branch Ergonomic, and Serta Smart Layers Jennings.

List is incomplete without the Steelcase Leap

Perhaps that's one we can test in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

I love my Herman Miller Aeron! Well worth it!!!

It really is an amazing chair! I bought mine in 2016 for around $600 new (no headrest). I was shocked when I checked the prices for this video to see it in the $1.2-$1.5K range. Crazy times...but still an amazing chair.

I have had many office chairs in my life, when I bought a Herman Miller Mirra 2 it was such a difference. Ships fully assembled and has a 12 year warranty.
@ModernCastle 7 ай бұрын
12 year warranty for a chair is super impressive! Glad to hear it's been working out well for you. I'll have to check out the Mirra. Perhaps it's one we can test if we do a part 2 for this video.

@@ModernCastle It was cheaper than the Aeron buy a bit. HM has a lot of office chairs if you go to their website.

if your a big guy like me (290lbs) the Serta Jennings padding will go flat after a few years. I'm replacing mine with a Herman Miller Embody because I'm tired of replacing chairs.

Hard to argue with Herman Miller. I'm sitting in my Aeron that is now 8 years old and is just as good today as it was on day 1.

IKEA Markus for the win

There's some good picks on here. I always hated the DX racer style and how it represented "gaming culture". I'd love to see how the Steelcase brand stacks up.
@ModernCastle 7 ай бұрын
It's a bit absurd how crazy the "gaming chair" culture has gone. When I bought my DX Racer in 2015 it wasn't nearly as much of a thing. For me it was just seemed to be a good chair at good price point. Overall I've been really happy with it. Though being 8 years older I think I prefer more typical designer type office chairs these days. Thanks for the Steelcase suggestion. If we do an updated version of this video we'll make a point to get at least 1 if not a couple.
