An ergonomic chair that's affordable? Let's check this out
0:12
Dave Taylor here and I'm reviewing the Autonomous Smart Office Ergo Chair 2
0:17
But I don't have it. I have the instructions. I have the assembly guide. I have all of the
0:23
information on how to use it. But a funny thing happened on the way here is my son snagged it and
0:30
actually took it to his apartment in Denver. So I do have footage of him demonstrating all the
0:36
features of this really comfortable office chair. Although he doesn't have an office
0:40
he spends a lot of time sitting and doing homework and kind of doing Fortnite and things like that
0:45
But we won't talk about that because we're focusing on the chair. Let me just tell you
0:49
a little bit about it. The chair has an adjustable headrest, dynamic lumbar support, adjustable arm
0:55
rests, adjustable tilt tension, the seat base slides, and the backrest actually can lock. So
1:03
there is a ton of adjustments. I have had some really fancy chairs like a Herman Miller Aeron
1:09
and this has more adjustments than that and at a fraction of the price of the Aeron
1:14
So the seat itself is 20 inches by 20 inches. You can pull the hand rests off if you want or you
1:22
can adjust them sideways or up or down. And the seat height goes from 18 to 20 inches off the
1:29
ground. So for those of you that are taller with longer legs that should work fine for you
1:34
It is however a fairly heavy chair. It is 48.5 pounds. Now you can be up to 350 pounds and sit
1:44
comfortably on this chair without any problems. More than that I'm not sure what would happen but
1:49
you know that's kind of a lot of weight. So that's a lot of support there on the chair which is really
1:55
nice. If something happens it does have a two-year warranty. And again let's go back and look again
2:02
at my son demonstrating some of these features. His suggestion was, hey I know what if I sit in
2:07
the chair while we like zoom down the hallway in my apartment complex. And I'm like I'm not sure
2:13
that's going to demonstrate anything really helpful. But you can see he certainly is getting
2:19
a lot of mileage out of this chair which is fantastic. So it comes like I said not fully
2:24
assembled. So there is some assembly involved and that's not entirely trivial. So take some time
2:31
just assume it's going to take a couple hours to get it all to work and fit together. But as you
2:36
build it you'll also see just how well made it is and how many different options there are in terms
2:41
of adjusting it and getting it to work just perfectly for you. And then never let anyone else
2:47
sit in that chair because the first thing they're going to darn well do is adjust things. And there's
2:52
so many adjustments it's going to be way more complex than getting your car seat back to where
2:56
you like. So really not much else to talk about other than the price and the vast array of colors
3:02
this thing comes in. But before we do that I'm going to ask if you can subscribe. I will tell you
3:08
that I'm super honest in my reviews and generally speaking I do have the product in front of me
3:14
This is a first actually but I decided that my son was going to get a lot of good use out of it
3:20
while in college. So I went ahead and let him keep it. So thank you for the chair Autonomous. Really
3:27
we as a family certainly appreciate that. And that chair is the Autonomous Smart Office Ergo Chair 2
3:34
Comes in cool gray, evergreen, all black, red apple, black and white, and baby blue. Obviously
3:42
we have the all black. It's a very smart looking professional office chair that would go great
3:47
even in an executive boardroom. This is a really nice chair. It's $349 but right now when I recorded
3:55
this it was down to $319. You can check it out at Autonomous.ai and I gotta say it's very nice
4:03
If I didn't already have my Herman Miller Aeron then this would definitely be the chair I would
4:07
get. And just for the record I paid about a thousand dollars for my Aeron. So having something
4:13
down in the $300 range that's this comfortable, this flexible, and this adjustable is a pretty
4:19
solid option. So I would encourage you to check it out because a really comfortable chair can make a
4:24
world of difference. And with that I'm going to go back to my son's apartment and make sure he's
4:30
using it well, which means I'll catch you in my next video
