Raynor Ergohuman High-Back Mesh Chair (ME7ERG)

Custom Colors!

Everything is adjustable!

This is, by FAR, the cheapest I have seen this type of chair. I've considered a Herman Miller "Aeron" as well as the Humanscale "Freedom". A few months ago, the idea of spending $500+ on a $#%@ chair was insane. But, seeing as I'm going to be spending a ton of time everyday infront of my computer, it now seems like a wise investment. My back, which I already injured last spring, will thank me.


One very nice advantage of the Raynor isn't just the price, but the fact that Office Depot has this locally, I can use it for a month and if I don't like it, I can return it w/o penalty. Plus, as with all the others, a lifetime warranty to boot.

So, does anyone have this chair or have any other input on great (or horrible) computer/office chairs they have or have used?

that is one hideous looking chair

A: Who gives two [censored] what it looks like...it's all about comfort and that bad boy is that.

B: What would you recommend to look "cool"?

Relax, it's just an ugly chair.

I have an Aeron chair, I must admit the decision was based on both looks and comfort. I can't however fault it in terms of comfort.

I'd been crunched over a badly positioned pc for a while and it really wasn't doing my back any favours. Take some time choosing a chair, remember a back is for life not just for xmas

Aeron chairs are solid so picking one up 2nd hand isn't such a bad idea if you can view it before you buy.

I wouldn't want anyone to see me sitting in that chair...

We have Aeron chairs at work. I love mine. Some of my co-workers hate them though. YMMV.

And see, this is my problem. It's not like local stores have these things and I'm not about to drop $900+ on a chair having never given it a test sit for an extended period of time. And I've heard enough people say that they hate the Aeron so that w/o trying it out, it's not an option.

And what am I missing about that chair? I think it "looks" pretty cool TBH.



:shrug:

bump for anyone else....

The suits above your monitors are gay as hell imo

That pic was posted by some dude in my loft pics thread. Link for vanity: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...2&fpart=all

fwiw I don't mind the suits. The chair looks good too.

I agree the suits look pretty ridiculous (even if they're not yours), though, chair doesn't look horrible, other than the top headpiece thing which looks so out of place.

isnt the spade lop-sided?

I had 2 of the Herman Millers. Now say with a high pitched whiny voice a la Damon Wayans... Hated it. Found it very uncomfortable. I have since gotten chairs from Relax the Back store and got it in fabric. Fully adjustable, you don't stick to it and my dog can't f it up. Extremely comfortable. Definitely need to sit in it and judge. Need to protect the back, man.

I just bought the ergo-human because I'm suffering from sciatica. It is [censored] great. I like it better than the aeron's I've sat in and for the price, I think it's probably one of the best deals on the market.

It's really well made, easy to put together and super adjustable. It took me a little while to get used to but I love it now. I ordered from the human solution btw and was really happy with the service.

also anybody that thinks spending $500-1000 on a chair is silly should really reconsider. Developing sciatica or some other lower back issues can really [censored] up a lot of day to day things, like not being able to sit in a movie theater for two hours because there is pain shooting down your leg and your toes are starting to go numb

Before you invest in a 2nd 24" monitor, do yourself a huge favour and get a decent chair.

how do you know if your chair isn't decent? when im at home i sit in my chair all the time, but i don't feel uncomfortable or anything.

BDub, how goes it? I might be coming out to your neck of the woods again in the next few months! Thanks for the info on the chair, I'll take a look at their website as well. Again, as you said, I really want to be able to sit in the chair before I buy it, obviously, for the exact reason you mentioned...Herman Miller's are loved by many, but there are also quite a few that LOATHE them, therefore, testing is paramount to me buying a $500+ chair.


Neko, thanks for the info...that's the kind of feedback I was looking for. I'm definitely leaning that direction.

And Vyse...it's all about comfort bro. If you don't feel fatigued/sore/etc. after putting in a long session, then I'm thinking your chair is fine. YMMV.

anyone know anything aboout the freedom or liberty chair?

a local store has them, wondering what kind of reviews they get, haven't been able to find too much either good or bad about them online.

wow, this chair looks very comfortable. I have a Herman Miller - Aeron Chair and actually like it alot. The materials they use are very well made and I would highly recommend it to anyone that sits in their computer chair more than 4 hours a day. I too was hesitant on spending $700 on a chair, but it is an investment well worth making. The best way I can describe it is getting that 2nd or 3rd monitor...you wonder how you lived without it.

The reason I would strongly consider the chair you mentioned, is because of the head-rest. The fact that I don't have to special order it from online is also a plus. I may just goto office depot or a local store and try it out. Thanks for the post and sharing.

To others that have the Aeron Chair, how does this other chair compare? I love my Aeron and never thought I would change, but I am willing to check out this new chair.

cool + comfortable

Are you referring to the one I am talking about or the Freedom by Humanscale that 1C5 brought up. Assuming you're talking about the Raynor Ergohuman, head to Office Depot and give it a sit...I'm curious as to your take on it. I found it quite comfortable and infinitely adjustable. I'm a bigger guy (6'2, 230) and I can adjust it to fit me, easily.

That said, always interested in others takes.

I wish I could find the Freedom, locally. That's the chair that I have the most interest in, but alas, I can't find it. Where have you found it? And it 'looks' great, but again, can't say as I have never tried it out.

that it the key point, if you can't try it you can't reasonably buy it. The only thing I don't like about the pictured chair is the head rest.

I was lucky my girlfriend has one that she picked up from craigslist.

one thing I can't understand about the humanscale freedom from looking here http://www.humanscale.com/products/freedom_index.cfm is how it avoids you getting a clammy back since it seems to have a solid plastic behind the panels

Does that chair come in automatic or is it only available in standard?
