Allright.
So, like I saidaboutthreeyearsago, a Thomasreachedouttous.
Theysentus a coupleofchairs.
I'vegotonehere.
I'vegotoneofthestudio.
They'rethesamecompanythatsentussitsanddesk.
They'rethey'reknownas a companythat's beingfairlyinexpensiveandMauratanentrylevelcostpointforthingslikesitstanddesksandcomfortablelongtermsittingchairs.
Theydidnotsponsorthisvideo.
Thisisjust a longtermreportofsomeonewho's nowbeenusingthischairforaboutthreeyears, and I cantellyourightnowwiththeamountpeopleaskmeaboutthischair, I feltthatthisvideowasimportanttomakebecausethischairhas a lotofasstrickswithit.
Ifyoureallywant a longtermsittingchair, whateverthat's called, likeupto a 24 hourchair.
I cantellyourightnowthatthereislegitimately a difference.
Andthereasonwhy I'm tellingyouthatistounderstand a chairinitscomfortis a fewthingsyouhavetoknowwonthesupportsystemoftheportssupportstructureofthechair.
Clearly, theautonomouschairis a foampaddedcloth, butandthenthebackis a meshbackthathasanadjustablelumbarsupport.
Butthenagain, Philweighslike a fractionofwhat I dowhenhe's a fractionofmyheight.
Therefore, chairslastlongerforhim.
So I feellike I'm a prettygoodtestoflongtermdurabilityofthischairwhenitgetskindof a beatingwithsomeonelikemewho's constantlyputtingpressureonthegascylinderandeyesleaningbackinthechair.
And, yeah, sothere's a lotofthingstotalkaboutitintermsofconstruction.
Buttobefair, I usuallysitwithitbottomedoutanywaybecauseofmyheight.
Thearmrestareadjustableheightwise.
They'renotadjustableanglewise.
Somechairswillallowyoutotakethearmrestananglethemout, which, ifyou'rekindofsittingwith a widesortofaharmprintonyourdesklike I sortofdothatwouldbewelcomed.
Thischairdoesnotallowthat, so I alwaysfeellikemyarmsareontheinsideofthesupportratherthanthebottomofmyforearm.
I feelliketheymoreorlessontheoutsidekindofanangle.
It's notthatcomfortable.
A lotoftimes, adjustingtheminwardisgood, too, becauseifyou'resittingnarrow, thenyouhavefullsupport.
Thereasonwhyyouwouldwant a meshbackratherthananysortof a foambackingisbecauseofthefactthatthemeshisalwaysgonnacontourtoyourbody, andit's notgoingtowearoutorstretchorloseitspatting.
A lotofhighendchairsalsohave a mesh, butfortheveryreasonthat I justdescribed.
And I thinkthatoneofthereasonswhytheautonomouschairdoesnotuse a meshpadforthebottomisbecauseofcost.
Nowthischaircomesinat a fractionofthepriceofthehighendchairs.
WhenitcomestolikeHermanMillerandotherbrandsthatair, they'reusingfullmesh, butitdoeshave a featurethatis a musthaveformewithchairs, andthatisanadjustableheadrestbecause I'm constantlysittinginthenonproperpositionwithleadingbackinmychairwithmyfeetuponthedesk.
I needsomewaytosupportmyhead, and I don't wantittobeonthetopofthebackdressbecausethatputspressureonthebackofyourneckandinconcerttocauseproblemstheretheheadrestson.
Thisisadjustableboththeangleandtheheight.
Butoneoftheproblems I foundwithheadrestsonthischairisitconstantlyfallsoutofposition.
It's like I'llputituptothehighestposition.
I'm leaningagainstit, andit's also a meshheadrest.
Soit's alwayscomfortable.
Buttheandsoitbreedsiswell.
That's onereasonwhyyouwouldwanttomeshback.
Italsobreathes.
Youdon't get a lotofsweatbuilduponyouronyourback.
Ifyousatin a leatherchairforanylengthoftime, evenin a coldroom, you'llknowexactlywhat I'm talkingabout.
Theproblemis, I convinceitup, andthensometimestheheadrestwilljustfalldown, eventhoughit's gotsomeprettystrongclicksinthereintermsofwhatitholdsitsposition.
I thinkit's justlike a littlespringandballkindof a bearingdealthatjustsortofsitsin a positionthere.
Um, sometimes I thinkthestarsjustthelineandjusttheblue, butitfallsdown.
Let's talkaboutmycomplaintswiththischairandwhy I'm reluctanttorecommendit, although I wouldstillrecommenditatthepricepointwhenyoucompareittothecompetition.
Now I doknowthatOfficeDepot, OfficeMax, alltheotherofficesupplystoresdohavechairsinthecouple $100 pricerangethatareverysimilartowhat I'm sittinginrightnow.
Thecrapoutof a computerbecause I liketodoissitinitandslidedownatonce.
And I wassochargedup I couldget a twoincharctocomeoffofmyfingerwhenitcomestotouchingsomethingthreepointoverthereandthatspecificallybecauseoftheclothbottomandthemeshback.
Andifyoulivein a dryenvironmentlike I do, because I liveinthedesertofSouthernCaliforniaandyouhave a dry, windyday, man, thisthingisjustchargingyouup.
Butthepricepointofthischair, you'renotgonnafindthatintermsofbuildquality, I feellikeovertime.
Thewheelbearingshavedriedout.
They'rejustbasiccastorwheels.
There's nothingsupercrazyaboutthem.
They'renotlikethehollow, um, thehalodesign, wheretheygotnosmokeorwhatever, andthey'rethekindof a crazylookingdeal.
Um, infact, wewereatDreamHack.
Wewerewheeledinthechairfromthehotelovertotheconventioncenterandtheairwasreallydampand a slightamountofrainhappened.
And I saySlidehimout.
I mean, like, itwasn't beingactivelyrainedon.
Therewasjustsomemoistureontheground.
Itpickedupthatmoisture.
Itworkeditswayintothebearings, whicharegreasedwatermixedwithGreeceisobviouslynot a goodthing.
Andthewheelspracticallylockedup.
Nowwhenitalldriedout, itdidsortofgobacktonormal.
Butthewheelsdonotrollveryfreely.
I'm sittingoncarpets.
That's kindof a finedeal.
Butifyou'resomeonethat's gonnabemoving a chairallaround, let's sayan I T officeorsomesortof a labandyou'removingtheCherylaround, you'regonnafinditcouldpickup a lotofdust, a lotofdirtonthatbearing, whichisnotverysealed, andthenit's gonnastartnotrollingVerygoodas I mentionedalready.
Thethegascanister, thegaspistonhasheldmyweight.
Noproblem.
Overtheyears, I alreadytalkedaboutthearmrestwantingtofalloff, and I talkedabouttheheadrestwantingtofalldown.
Butoneofmybiggestissueswiththechairisit.
Amountofadjustabilityhasmadeit a noisy, creakymess, andit's notreallypickingitup.
Toobadrightnowoncamera, when I'm inLivestream, Sometimes I make a verysubtlemovementoradjustment, andthat's whenitmakesallthenoisewhenyoubarelymove.
Chrisnotdoingitrightnow, soyou'llfindthere's a lotofplayinthelockedpositionsandwhatyou'rehearingthereisthatthatthatpinthat's pushedintokeepitfromfromleaning?
Um, itdoesmake a lotofcreaks, but I meanagain, atthepricepoint, youprobablyarenotgonnabetooconcernedwiththat.
Andunlessyou'regoingtorunoutandspend $1500 on a HermanMillerchair, thiswasprobablygonnaholdupjustfine.
Soalthough I hadallthesecomplaintsaboutthechair, I haven't replacedthechairbecause I'veyettofindanotherchair, thatfeatthatmeetsthebodytypelikemine, whichis a littlebitextra.

I wasfartoobigforthatchair, andso I wassittingonthesupportsandthebolsters, anditwasn't a gooddealformewhatsoever.
Ifyou'relookingfor a chairthatkindoftakes a lotoftheboxes, it's gotgoodreadabilitybecauseofthemesh.
It's gotgoodsupportOvertime.
Thefoamhasnotbrokendown.
When I getup, it's stillhasn't shape.
Itdoesn't have a bigdebtbuiltintoitbecauseofmybigoldbutt.
Um, itworks.
It's perfectlyadjustablefor a guy, evenmysizeandmyheight, withhowfarthebutparkpushingorthebuttcushioncanmoveoutwardorinward.
I justwishthearmrestwouldlockinoneposition.
Andfortheprice, I wouldprobablycallthis a fiveyearchair.
