Just bought this for $199. Though the base is plastic, looks like it is a fibre glass reinforced plastic. Can hold up to 120kg. So bbfa like me should be ok i hope :(

Just an honest question ah. If $700 can net you a customizable fully functional chair with 12 years warranty where any fault they will come and fix (excluding cosmetic problems), is it not worth it? $700 over 12 years doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Haha this helped me to gain some perspective actually. I agree with you - what chair would you recommend for that price ah? Haworth? Sorry, just eager to get a good chair asap but of course not ready to splurge on an Aeron.

Did anyone get the OEM from unwanted? My Aeron back mesh gg waiting for replacement but from the look of US it seems it'll be delayed.

Vs zody, lesser warranty period

Haworth Soji is around 600 SGD for base model.

A mesh chair should be both mesh back and mesh seat.

Heat accumulate at the kkj area, thigh, and buttock a lot. This can cook your balls and cause permanent damages affecting your manhood. Your kkj will soon can't stand as long, can't lift as much, can't shoot as many, all blanks, no baby. It will also make you fidget and move around, feeling uncomfortable.

Some cushion will claim that it can cool, those are generally gimmicks or tested with fallacious tests. You see a lot in the mattress producers.
As long as the heat can't dissipate, heat will surely trap and build up.
Among cushion material, latex is the coolest but it will still trap heat at certain points where there's no pinholes.

That's why chairs like secret labs gaming chair, cannot be good because it is totally not breathable. You sweat and sweat has chloride which is erosive, in additional to the fake leather did not pass good rub test QC, that's why the seat is so chui. :(

the issue with such oem chairs isn't the ergonomic fit though, its the materials.
butt/ shoulders/ back will get warm or itchy in a short span of time or will slip and move around abit, affects the posture already.

my 2cents on it after getting a few of such. should have just whack 1 time on a good brand which i plan to do now :(

Where did you buy this chair from? All good so far?
:)

Still waiting for shipment. I placed order on tuesday i think.

Bought it from myseat.sg serene chair.

Anyway i thought if really bad, sit 2 yrs $199 should be ok. My current $150 chair i sit for 7yrs already.
