You've hit the nail on the head for the actual intended use for this chair, I believe. It's designed to be a more casual affair with ergonomics more meant for relaxing rather than doing actual work. Still a great chair for the money but not for everyone.

I just got my chair yesterday and immediatly thought wow these armrests need to go the other way, I hate how my elbow don't sit on them, and if I'm tucked under my desk the armrests are obsolete, def going to flip them around now.

this chair is pretty good for large people. Small people should stay away. the back is at 110 degrees which is the recommended ergonomic sitting. 90 degree is terrible for your back but people I guess are used to it and again if you are not a large person with long arms, you might have trouble working at a desk with this. The chair is overall chill and laid back but I can still do work with it as well. The hyken has much better lumbar support and the tilt adjustments are also better. The build quality is similar I guess, I think myo is a bit better but that's like $100 more than base myo so you get what pay for. Still when you go into that price range, there are more options. Myochair was like $140? something like that. I think it is still good, if it fits you. There is not much you can adjust and that's what you pay for with more expensive chairs.

Thanks dude! Reversing the armrest really made it perfect for my case! And I can actually fully adjust the armrest in height without it touching/barely touching the the backrest. When you attach there is a little bit space to move it sideways, if you move toward the outward sides it will give that room the adjust fully.

Unfortunately I bought this chair last year, and it is definitely not worth the money. The point of having an "ergonomic" chair is to have it support your back, especially while you'r working. I am glad you mention all of these things, they are definitely deal breakers for me had I known beforehand.

When I first reviewed the chair, my knowledge base was a bit lacking in context. Unfortunately it took several physical issues arising to fully appreciate what MyoChair does alright and what it doesn't do well at all. The worst part of these reviews is that for every bit of detail I can provide, every subtle difference in a person's body dimensions and how/where they carry weight will influence the end results. The hope is always that there's some other reviews out there that can help paint a better picture.

I actually have the Hyken chair I bought 5 years ago. Cannot believe this thing is still around. My only problem with the chair is the arm rest do not go low enough. I am 5ft8in and my elbows dig into it a little. I had to put a cushion on them. I do love the all mesh design. I live in Vegas, so this was very important to me, but it is a little firm. I bought a separate leg rest to go with it, but it barely goes high enough. I was actually looking for a chair that had a good built in leg rest and arm rest that go lower. I almost pulled the trigger on this one, but the moving lumbar support would drive me bananas, and I would rather buy something more expensive. Also on another review the person complained of the leg rest being narrow. I recently bought the Autonomous smart desk 2, for which I am returning, this desk does not go low enough. The highest point is 28 inches, and my feet dangle a little too much for me, plus I like to lean back a lot. I had a terrible experience with the company too. The desk came with really bad instructions, and the video did not explain things very well either. There was a lot of trial and error, and many hours of fustration. Also, it turns out if you do not save the flimsy packaging it comes in (my box was falling apart so I tossed it after), there is a 30% restocking fee. So if you do buy this chair, do not throw away any boxes. Apparently boxes cost them over a $100. Even though they are charging you for the missing box, you still need to provide one for them to ship it. Customer support did not care about any of these issues. This is the problem with buying things that are not on big retailers like amazon, all their reviews are of course hand picked and amazon has much better customer support (in my experience with them). Although great youtubers like this guy help a lot. I know I am staying away from this chair. The lumbar is not a deal breaker for some, but for me I already have a decent chair.

Oh my god finally. Someone else whose developed bicep tendonitis from their computer chair. I can't find anything about it or someone else suffering from this other than one article. I use a Steelcase Leap v2 and if you look at its side profile you'll see that it's 90 degree angle isn't fully upright and makes you lean back quite a bit which made me have the same problem you're having. I noticed when I sit fully upright without the backrest and open up my shoulders I don't get the pain in my front shoulder anymore. Have you tried the Autonomous ErgoChair 2? It looks to be fully upright in its 90 degree position. I'm thinking about buying that.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate your follow-up review of this chair. I'm still on the fence about it and especially now since you mentioned the angle of the backrest when fully upright. I have a question about the seat upholstery - is the material rough or smooth? It looks a bit rough from the close-ups but I'm not sure. My current Amazon Basics chair has material on the seat and armrests that really starts hurting the back of my thighs and my elbows within minutes of sitting down. Wondering if the MyoChair will do the same. One more thing... I entered the promo code you list and it says "Sorry, the code is inapplicable to this transaction". My cart total for the chair w/headrest & legrest is $239 w/free shipping. Your code doesn't bring that total down. Any thoughts?
@TheManicGeek
4 жыл бұрын
Might need to try the code again, I've had several transactions work with it recently: R-TMGWFH. Maybe refresh the page? If that doesn't work I won't be offended if you find a different code that works for you :-) The fabric for the back and head rest is basically mesh, but it's not coarse to the touch. The seat pan uses that traditional sort of cloth seat pan cover that, while durable, is slightly coarse. The armrest is just plastic so if you prefer a softer armrest you may want covers for these. The angle of the chair back is a tough one since not everyone will respond to it the same way. I'd honestly say if you're looking for a more upright seating position when the back rest is at a full forward position that this chair may not be the best fit for you, but if you like a bit of incline then it'll be fine. Also something I neglected to mention in the video: I game at 800 DPI on my mouse, so my arm moves a lot on my desk surface which didn't help my situation. If you use higher DPI or sensitivity settings it may not be as much of an issue for you.

Any style of caster will eventually damage carpet, but the polyurethane does help a bit. If your concern is damage to the carpet then I'd suggest a floor mat if you can find one to fit your budget and space, and worry about the casters later. Polyurethane on carpet can be a bit difficult to maneuver in if you have taller carpet.

I do weigh about 87 kg ( thats 190 pounds i think xd) It also took me a bit to find out how to put the headrest but i think i have now fond the best position. The leg rest is dope tho. I would say its a amazing chair if not for the back angle and arm rest. Because i do think that should be better for the price. But i am keeping the chair because its still a nice chair and i dont want spend hours on research for a new chair again and sending it back.

The tough part about chairs is that most of the reviews, mine included, are all largely based on anecdotal retellings of information that are all going to be largely subjective. Doing research on a purchase ahead of time is a good idea though, so for me what I look for in reviews is common phrases and themes: how do people regard the back rest or seat pan given their apparent size and shape? How does that apparent size or shape relate to my size and shape? Is build quality commonly considered good or bad? That sort of thing. It at least makes the process a bit less nebulous :-)
