Nouhaus Ergo3D Ergonomic Office Chair Grey | Dynamic Lumbar Support, Mesh High Back, 4D Armrests, Adjustable Headrest, Aluminum Base, BIFMA, SGS, 2 Sets of Wheels

The headline certainly reveals my thoughts on this chair so I will give my "too long; didn't read" version right below, but I will also go into some more depth below that for those of you more discriminating readers. TL;DR - Supremely comfortable, build quality is excellent, very easy to put together (10-15mins max), great range of adjustability/range of motion, total game-changer for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting at a computer, etc. I have absolutely no regrets spending $300 on this chair. Full version: Firstly, let me point out that I RARELY write reviews for products. I can probably count the number of product reviews I have written on one hand. That's not because I don't like taking the time to support businesses that make good products, it's mainly because it's pretty hard to exceed my expectations and most products just meet expectations by doing what exactly what I wanted, no more and no less. My expectations for this chair were, naturally, pretty high considering the price tag but I frankly did not expect to be this satisfied and amazed at the difference any chair could make. As someone who is now working from home until further notice during the present COVID outbreak of 2020, I needed something better than what I had and this chair is an absolute game-changer in that regard. Here are my thoughts in summar: 1) Comes well packaged and with well-written, simple instructions which make it very easy to put together (10-15 minutes max) 2) Build quality is excellent. All the parts that should be metal/reinforced are and even the plastic parts that need to be plastic for lightness are of good quality. One more specific thing I noticed that goes to the quality of the parts is that the hardware included comes with pre-applied loctite thread locker (which is essentially a paste on the bolts which help keep them from coming loose over time after installation). In and of itself it isn't that important and is far from necessary on parts like chairs that live a pretty easy life (as opposed to, say, suspension components on vehicles, for example, which usually require loctite). HOWEVER, it's not common on products like this and it is a nice touch that I think suggests more attention to detail/quality for this product. It also shows that NOUHAUS isn't necessarily trying to cut costs wherever they can. 3) It is supremely comfortable! At first I had doubts about the mesh material used for the seat and back of the chair, compared to the more traditional cushion style, but after spending several hours straight without moving at all in this chair during work I can report it is all-around great. The fact I can sit in it that long without moving at all to adjust speaks to that point because I have to do that every so often when sitting in inferior chairs. The range of adjustability and movement of the chair to allow reclining and really any sitting style is impressive as well. Overall I'm completely pleased with the purchase and don't regret spending so much money on this chair whatsoever (currently priced at $300). I'm glad I treated myself to this thing and the only thoughts I have now are why the hell I didn't get something like this sooner to take better care of myself!

I bought this chair on a great Black Friday deal. After not being able to repair an old one, this chair closely matched one I had been using for over 12 years. I wanted another mesh seat and back so this one looked good. When it arrived, I was amazed at the quality and style. It really is so comfortable with the lumbar support and adjustable arm rests. I did run into one slight issue as the screw set needed to assemble the chair was missing from the box. I contacted the seller who immediately said they would send them. The seller was awesome the entire time and other than having to wait to assemble the chair, I knew I wanted to keep it. The other great thing about this chair is that it comes with two different type sets of wheels. I like what they call the blade wheels as they are best on my solid surface floors but the second set would work well on carpet. It gives you the selection and choice. It was easy to assemble with good instructions. I am in my 70's and was able to put it together myself in about 15 minutes although if I had help, it would have been easier for me as the chair parts have some weight due to its durable quality. If you have to sit in an office chair all day long, this is the chair you'll want.

This was easy to put together, very well packed, all the screws & bolts came with locktite screws on them. There was a T-wrench and easy to read directions. I did end up with 4 extra screws (all were different screws) which did not seem to be included in the directions--so assume they are just "extra" screws in case one failed? There were two sets of wheels (roller blade like & traditional), nice option. Only improvement out of the gates I suggest to NOUHAUS would be to label the screws in the screw package, as I didn't know what an M8 or M6x1.18" vs M6.0.79" screw is. I think you should check your rear pockets before sitting as it would seem the mesh could cut or get damaged if you had a pen or pencil, or car keys in them. Aside from that, I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out. Good looking chair, the recline is smooth and nice. Only had a couple hours in it so far--nice to lock the seatback out or recline. A nice surprise I find in most mass produced assembly required furniture such as chairs or shelves, cabinets, etc, is the screw holes are typically requiring force or not smooth, or misaligned holes/brackets and you end up stripping screws or holes--but SURPRISINGLY, these seemed to all be chased well and went in easily. Only time will tell how well this performs for 10 hour shifts at the computers. For the price, after nearly 2 hrs--this is a comfortable, adjustable, easily assembled chair that has great lumbar support and features for the price. If that is what you are looking for, this may be the one to pick. I only found this brand due to YouTube reviews of office vs gaming chairs for office environment. Glad I found it as it was described as a "Not well known hidden gem" among $1,000 chairs. Giving 4 stars only because I had trouble figuring out which screws were which due to them not being labeled in the packaging they came in--it's hard to tell from a drawing of a screw on the assembly instructions & expect to know what is what from a pile of screws in a plastic casing.

I love this chair. I've used it nearly every day for two months now, and bang for buck, this was a great purchase that I would make again. I work at a desk in my home office from 8:00am to 5:30-6:00pm every weekday, so I knew I needed to get a comfortable, ergonomic chair that wouldn't exacerbate my posture or hurt my body from just being in it with my sedentary job. I didn't need a super fancy-looking chair, but neither did I want an eye-sore. I also knew wanted something with great quality, first and foremost, and next had some solid and comfortable ergonomic features. This chair meets all these requirements. I cannot understate how much the roller blade wheels change my life. I am never going back. These things are silent, smooth, and can go over nearly any material. I don't have to push as hard or as much to move. I have poured concrete floors in my office, but see that long-haired rug in the photos? You bet your bottom dollar that this baby can roll smoothly from the concrete and over onto the rug it without getting stuck or having to push/pull for significant drag and it blew my mind the first time. The arm rest positioning is quite customizable: the pads can turn inward and outward, slide forward or back, as well as move up and down. The arm rest pads have a little soft give to them but are fairly firm. The headrest piece goes up and down as well as tilts forward or back. You could even decide not to install, if you didn't need or love it, and I think it wouldn't significantly detract from the chair's aesthetics (just two simple drill holes in the back). The composite plastic-fabric material ("ElastoMesh") is super breathable and would be so easy to clean if I ever did spill anything on it. My body (well, butt, really) does not feel like it sinks in to the seat any more or less than a normal office chair. (Phone for scale in the chair seat picture is an old Apple iPhone 6S Plus.) In fact, I think the tensile stress of this fabric gives me a slight spring, bounce and energy when I sit in it, which I actually prefer now to a soft, dense, lethargic piece of foam. The mesh fabric is soft to the touch with light pressure, and grippy with string-like friction with hard pressure. I've never had a problem with the textile. At first I was concerned that the lower lumbar piece was not adjustable, but it's quite supportive with this unique mesh and strong curvature. I'm 5'6" and the shape of the back contours quite naturally to me by default. I could imagine someone much bigger though possibly needing to adjust this or the whole back piece up from the seat. This would be my ONLY critique about the chair. I usually sit and have the chair tilted fully upright, but one could have this unlocked to smoothly dip back with pressure. You can also lock the tilt so it stays as your preferred angle. I feel fine (good, even) sitting in this chair for long periods of time, even though I do try to get up and move often. I've never felt pain standing up from it. This chair was better than most options I saw at an Office Depot. Most other corporate offices I've worked in had Herman Miller furniture, and I would say this chair could go head to head with their Aeron or Mirra designs in terms of quality and functionality.

I changed the review from a four to a three star. The person that I bought this for loves the chair. I decided to try it for a day and find that about 5 inches of the seat is unusable. I sat with my back firmly placed up against the lumbar support and my thighs are mostly unsupported. This is because about five inches of the rear of the seat bottom you can’t get to. I sat down as far to the rear that I can. I then placed a yellow towel where my bottom touched the seat. The entire area of the seat where you see the towel is unusable space. If I was able to sit back that far it would be great. This chair is very high quality. The base is a single-cast metal piece rather than the plastic of most other chairs. It looks like polished aluminum, though I'm not positive what metal it is. The chair is very comfortable and fairly supportive. Let me say why I say 'fairly.' The headrest is adjustable; however, it's not adjustable toward you. it's adjustable up and down and the angle. So, it's only good if you're lying back. It doesn't even touch your head if you're sitting up straight. Leaning back, I find that there isn't enough resistance, even with the dial as tight as I can make it. I can only use it if the back is locked into position. it would be nice to lean back, but it just keeps going. For this price, I would expect the seat angle and the lumbar to be adjustable. They are not. It's a very nice chair, and I'm happy 'enough' with it. It could have been awesome.

Pretty nice chair! Better than gaming chairs for sure. Does sit higher than I am used to but it feels nice!

**Update 2** I reached out to Nouhaus support regarding the issue. After a few emails back and forth, they've agreed to send a replacement seat, but their viewpoint is that the chair is working as designed. While I appreciate them sending the replacement part, I'm going to recommend that potential buyers either try this chair out somewhere before purchasing or give the chair a real in-depth evaluation before your return period closes. Seating comfort is subjective, based on each individual's proportions, so this chair may not be for everyone. For me, the lack of comfort and durability of this chair compared to its price makes this a complete fail. I'd return it if I could, but I can't, so I will just avoid this brand entirely in the future. **Update 1** I've owned the chair for about 45 days now, and a lot of my enthusiasm is now gone. The mesh in the seat now presses down past the padded bar in the front, putting pressure on the back of my legs, this is exactly what I was afraid would happen. Now, using the chair for any extended period reduces circulation to my legs, and they feel like they're asleep! I can place a large pillow in the chair, but that defeats the purpose entirely. I'm past the return window, my only option is to contact customer service and hope they can swap out the seat. A full mesh chair seemed like a great idea at the time, but the execution on this one is below par. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've owned several traditional office chairs in the past, this is my first full mesh office chair. My specs: 6'1" 245 pounds. Packaging: the chair came in a large sturdy box, with the components in their own little foam cutouts. Everything inside was safe and all parts accounted for. The kit contains all the chair parts, a plastic container with the screws, and even includes an allen wrench for assembly. Assembly: Assembly was very straightforward and took me about 15 minutes total. I started by assembling the base (wheels, base, gas cylinder). Then I placed the seat upside down on the shipping box and assembled the top (seat, back, arms, bottom plate). Once the top and base were assembled, I placed the two together, and the chair was complete. One complaint I read was that it was hard to figure out what screws were which, I think I know where this comes from. The instructions illustrate each screw, and I was able to match each set with no problem, but there are spare screws included which I think might confuse folks. Ignore the spares, and you should be good. Two sets of wheels are included: standard office chair wheels, and bigger roller blade style wheels, which I installed. I like the roller blade wheels, but they are a bit taller than the standard ones, so the lowest chair position is a little taller than normal. Adjustment: the chair has basic adjustments, but nothing more. You have the usual lever that adjusts height. Pull the lever out to tilt, push it in to lock. Tension spring in the front to adjust tilt resistance. The tilt has three locking positions: fully reclined, partial recline, and full upright. Not a ton of adjustment options like a pricier chair, but all the basics are covered well. The arms are a mixed bag for me. They can be raised and lowered a good bit, and the armrests can be moved back / forth / left / right. Only the height can be locked in, the armrests will move about in any direction you apply pressure. Depending on who you are, this will be either a great feature or a minor annoyance. Comfort: I'm writing this review during a pretty brutal summer, and my old "leather" chair was miserable to sit in for prolonged periods. This chair's mesh back and seat are fully breathable, and I never feel like I'm overheating. The mesh set is comfortable, with the right amount of give. The lumbar support is great. The real star of the show for me is the recline positions: I have unintentionally fallen asleep at least once a day in partial or full recline. Not a great thing if you have work to do, but it's a real testament to how comfortable this chair is. Durability: I've had it for about a week, so I won't know how durable the chair is until I put more miles on it. So far, it's holding up well, I'll add an update in a few months. Style: The Amazon photos of the chair look a bit odd, but the chair looks much better in person. The chair looks futuristic and would look at home in any modern office or alien fighter craft. Price: At $369 full price (I got a $30 off coupon), it's definitely more expensive than a standard vinyl / PU leather chair, but in my short time with it, I think it's worth the money. The only unknown for me is the long-term durability of the chair, here's hoping it holds up. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this chair and can recommend it to anyone looking for a great looking for a comfortable office chair with modern styling.

Disclaimer: everyone has different physical needs and ideas of comfort so please understand that reviews for an item such as this can and will vary. I fricking love this chair. It was so easy to put it together. My boyfriend was able to assemble it in maybe ten minutes. This thing effortlessly rolls over the carpet underneath it and underneath my desk (I didn’t even know there were rollerblade wheels for office chairs...now I can never use regular wheels again). The quality is nothing short of amazing in my opinion and the product is everything I had hoped for. Quality like this usually costs at least double. I searched and searched for a quality, comfortable, and supporting chair. I almost caved and got a gaming chair (the price point for which is comparable in most cases), but they didn’t seem to have that much in the way of adjustments for comfort and definitely not the lumbar support I was looking for. But THIS family owned company hit it right on the head. I love that the lumbar support is adjustable and so it the head/neck rest (the armrests are too). I can sit all the way back in this chair and my back is completely supported. I use it in my home office and am at my desk for at least 8.5 hours per day; no more back pains (or butt pain) after sitting for a while. I get and move around because it’s good for you, but not because I HAVE to in order to get relief anymore. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the mesh seat of the chair (I am typically not a fan of those), but, and remember this is coming from someone who doesn’t usually like those, I have zero complaints about it and it has not seemed to negatively impact my comfort. My boyfriend didn’t like the chair when and had everything to say about it....until it came and he got used to (and comfortable might I add) using it at his desk (despite already having a cheap Walmart desk chair) before we got my home office set up. Now my chair is in my office and he’s back to using his el cheapo chair; now he misses mine. 😂

every thing great(Arms,Arm Pads,Headrest,Backrest) but not the Seat cuz it get booty sleep

I’m compelled to write a review for this office chair. I’ve been using an older one for years now that had no tension recline and was hard on my lower back. Working from home now required something comfortable for long days. I have used Herman Miller Aeron chairs i offices before and generally liked them. But the price to buy one at $2,000+ just seems crazy to me. They also don’t come with headrests which this one does so I gave it a try. Long story short, I’m very pleased! The woven mesh is comfortable, very supprtive, and breathes so your legs and back never get too hot. For this reason I wanted to avoid foam seating surfaces and it is awesome during warmer months. Even if wearing shorts my skin does not stick to the mesh. This chair came with two types of casters, regular and rollerblade wheels. The rollerblade wheels are excellent! Recline is tension adjustable and goes back 130° Which makes it easy to take a nap in. The headrest is also very comfortable when leaning back. The base is solid cast aluminum, very solid and looks good. Recline has multiple lock points as well. My only niggle would be the plastic chrome material for the accents, trim and armrest buttons. It’s not convincing and feels really cheap, but this has no impact to the overall function of the chair. I’ve seen pictures online of this chair that do not have the chrome plastic trim but I could not find any available for purchase in Canada. Bottom line, this is office chair a winner and I do t feel I could’ve done better for the price.

I’m very disappointed with this item. Nothing I received looked anything like what was described and shown in the pictures. No blade wheels, just cheap small plastic wheels, very poor packaging, the chair base felt so thin and cheap. This is not worth 1400 aed, maybe for a 200 aed I’ll buy it. What a joke.

Después de mucho tiempo buscando la mejor silla la he encontrado, esta súper bonita y lo más importante muy cómoda. Paso 12 horas trabajando y estoy muy contenta, ya no sufro de dolor en la espalda y es muy buena para acomodarse y poder trabajar muy a gusto, el producto viene completamente protegido y es fácil para armar. Se que el costo es caro pero créanme vale la pena.

I watched YouTube and read many reviews and it sounded so good. Finally made the hard decision to part with a not small amount for an office chair. First off, I’m 183cm and the headrest is short (or lower) a cm or two for a comfortable rest. Mesh suppose to be cool as many claimed, but for me it feel plasticky and hard. The seat is not adjustable much to the front so it “forces” me to push back my butt for a firm seat. Maybe there’s the idea of a good posture? Lumber support is non adjustable although I can feel the support as compare to my other non ergonomic chair. I must mention that the lumber support causes me problem as my belt keeps “hooking” it while I adjust my seating or standing up. Last but not least is the legs, which are very long (study and heavy duty which I love) and need getting used to as I knocked (it hurts) my ankle a few times when I started using it. On the good points, it is heavy, well build, good quality and feels like it will lasts.
