Nouhaus Ergo3D Ergonomic Office Chair Lumbar Support Mesh Office Chair with 4D Adjustable Armrest, Adjustable Headrest and Wheels, Mesh High Back Home Office Desk Chairs (Grey)

So far I am so glad I spent a little more than what I first intended. I found a great deal on this chair, but it was still more expensive than my initial price range. The look, quality, and comfort of this chair seem to be well worth it so far. I want to give extra credit and appreciation that the delivery of the chair was sooner than expected and early in the day. I was so ready to replace my old office chair. I wanted a chair that would support my back and the chair back has the lumbar support in the right place for me. I also wanted a chair that would give me comfort when sitting for long hours. My butt felt so good, as I settled into the seat. I didn't want a large, cushy, leather chair, but more of a working office chair. I wanted a chair that would hold up over time and not have cushioning or material that would easily breakdown over time. My old office chair had the vented material for the back, but not the seat. I liked the venting on the back and felt that a vented seat would be good also. I never liked how seat padding seams to wear down over time. I had already added additional padded cushion to the old chair. I think that the seat on the new chair should hold up. We will see. I like that the chair back has adjustment so that it can recline and lock in place at a few different positions. It doesn't go to a full recline, but I don't want to fall asleep in my chair. The head rest is good for added support when working on the computer for hours. The head rest adjusts up and down, so you can find the best area on your head or neck you want to support. It does not adjust forward, but you can swivel it slightly up or down. The arm rests adjust up and down, as you would expect. The top also swivels in or out slightly. The arm pads are not soft and cushy. They have cushion, but it is firm. They should hold up over time. The chair comes with two sets of wheels. You can install the standard caster type wheels or the upgraded blade wheels. I choose to use the blade wheels. They make the chair roll easily on my laminate floor. They are smooth and quiet. Of course, you have seat height adjustment, as needed. With the blade wheels on, I think the seat height is perfect for me. But I am 5' 6. I might raise it just a bit. A shorter person would probably want to use the caster wheels. The instructions are a bit weak on the explanation. I did have to remove a couple things after installing them. The gotchas are that there is an arrow next to the "Front" designation on the seat mechanism. The R/L arm rest designation refers to when the chair is upright and not in the upside down installation position. The chair was packed in a manageable box and all the parts were packed very well. Many of the parts were packed firmly in foam. The bolts were in a plastic package and they gave you one extra of each size/type. Overall, I think this is the best working office chair that I have used, both in the office and working from home.

I'm a system engineer working as a Corporate IT Manager for 11 countries. So I spend more than 8 hours a day at the computer. Because of the pandemic I had to move to home office, and the previous chair was killing me. I had constant lower back pain, and because I live near the beach with no air conditioning, the chair was always hot and sticky and I was dripping sweat. This chair came in a single quite large box. All the parts were carefully placed and cushioned inside, so they came in excellent condition. It came with a separate blister containing all the neccesary screws and the tool required for assembly. The assembly took me 20-30 minutes, following the pictures and numbers of the owners manual. Some parts are a little bit heavy, so maybe you'll need help to get it together. This chair is amazing and good looking too. Super comfortable, the lower back support is great (fixed, but in great position for my size), the armrests can be adjusted in several ways or you can choose not to use them at all. The mesh is sturdy and keeps my body really fresh in a hot environment. It also came with a headrest that can be adjusted for your heigh, and tilt it in different positions. Overall ergonomic is great for me, a 5,8" / 186 pounds male. It also came with an extra set of weels (rollerblade type weels, which are top notch). I'm really happy with this purchase / investment. I recommend this chair to everyone who needs to work long hours at a desk, and wants to keep a good posture and keep its body fresh, comfortable and relaxed.

I’ve had the chair for about a year and a half, and I finally decided to replace it, so I thought I would write a review. I had upgraded from a very cheap, old office chair when I began working from home. I wanted something that was going to be comfortable for sitting in for 8+ hours a day. Assembly was easy enough, and the chair looks great, especially with the roller blade wheels. The first day I used it was awful. My body was so sore, and I actually considered returning it, but I had read that it takes some time for your body to adjust when you’re used to sitting in a bad chair. Eventually I got used to it, and it definitely made my back feel so much better. (I have always had a bad habit of slouching) It forces you to sit in a more upright position. Once I got used to it, it was extremely comfortable. The mesh makes sitting for hours very easy, and I loved the lumbar support. However, over time I began to notice things I didn’t like about it. While I love the look of the armrests, they’re super hard. I ended up buying soft covers to go over them. Most importantly, though, I began to notice that the hard plastic sides of the seat were digging into my thighs. It’s designed such that it kind of curves upward to hold the mesh. This wouldn’t be a problem for anyone smaller than me, but I am by no means a large person. 5’5” and an average female build. The seat itself is actually quite narrow compared to other office chairs. It’s also not as deep as I would prefer. I got a chair cushion, and that solved the problem of the plastic digging into my thighs, but it raised me up such that the lumbar support no longer hit my back where it needed to. Finally, and maybe this is a little nitpicky, but I hate the plastic arc that sticks out of the back of the chair. I recently moved, but my old workspace was kind of tight, and the back of the chair was constantly bumping into things. It was an expensive chair, and it’s well made, so I felt bad for wanting to replace it after only a year and a half, but ultimately having a chair that works better for me will be better for my body in the long run. If you’re under 5’5” or you’re very thin I think this is a great chair, and it’s solid budget alternative to a Herman Miller chair. You’ll be able to sit for 8 hours no problem. But if you’re larger or taller, you might want to look elsewhere.

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 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.

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.

**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.

So I have a neck and low back fusion, both knees replaced, fibromyalgia and arthritis. I still have a lot of neck pain after long office hours and realized needing an ergonomic chair (and desk) was what would reduce my neck and shoulder pain. After getting my measurements for what an ergonomic chair would need to be and after reading reviews, I chose this chair. I'll spend HOURS reading reviews before throwing quite a bit of $ down on something. The only real negative review I saw was this chair wasn't for tall people. So my review: first thing I noticed when I sat in it was the lumbar support. Never have I sat in a chair that supported my low back so well. The headrest adjusts in 2 different ways: vertically and then outward. It supports my head and neck better than anything too. I ended up using the roller blade wheels since I have hardwood and with those, I didn't have to use my plastic office mat. I got a ergonomic desk so I liked that I was able to adjust the arms of the chair to accommodate. With my health issues, I'm always judging every chair I sit in. This one, by far, is the best one. And after spending an ungodly amount of office hours in it in April & May this year, I was pretty amazed at how much less my neck, shoulder and back pain was! I didn't have the stiffness I usually have after sitting for hours at a time. The fact that the chair accommodates a good range for ergonomic measurements (because not all other chairs did, especially how low the chair could sit) as well as the quality of the chair (100%), I've referred this chair to everyone! I also like the fact that I can recline in it and be incredibly comfortable if I want to game some too 😉 The only suggestion I'd have for this chair is the option to drop the arms down completely (as in, not having arm rests) rather than having to take them off the chair completely. I was nervous at first paying this much for a CHAIR, but it has been, by far, the best investment I've made. It has allowed me to be more productive since I'm in less pain and because of that, has made sleeping at night much easier!
