I may be considered one of their original “test subjects”. I suffer from chronic pain and a condition called spinal stenosis. About 7 years ago (I think), it was almost impossible for me to sit and work for more than 20 minutes at a time. I live in San Francisco and happened upon these guys, who had a tiny showroom in a work share building. I tried it out and it seemed that it could work for me. While there are many, many things I don’t like about it, including the undersized, wobbly desk, I can safely say that it has allowed me the ability to work for hours at a time doing audio and video editing, writing, Zoom meetings, etc. I do not believe my productivity would be 25% of what is has been, if I didn’t own this desk. Additionally, I had a support issue recently and they took care of it almost immediately. When I say “test subject”, I simply refer to my being an early adopter. I have been given no compensation of any kind, and I paid the full retail price. Although, I believe that was closer to $5,000, when I bought it. I think it’s funny that much of their marketing has been “hipster” based; as in to companies looking to attract high end talent by offering the chair as a perk. If this were looked at more as a medical device, perhaps in conjunction with insurance coverage, I think they’d be hitting the nail on the head. The younger, healthier me would have zero interest in this product. But the rickety, broken me, couldn’t appreciate it more.

If your condition deteriorates to where sitting even in a good Herman Miller chair hurts you, which I genuinely hope it doesn't for your sake, then laying back and working is really the best way to do it all the time except the very best days.

What I did is I purchased a hospital bed tray that the table that lifts tilts and locks. Reversed the wheel assembly so they face outward and attached some weights to the end of the wheel support frame to prevent tilting attached a 1 x 1 x 1/8 x 6" lg aluminum angle to the table, so my laptop won't slide off, laid on my recliner and rolled over the hospital bed tray with my laptop on it then adjusted the height and tilt. I have a flat pillow on my lap with a thin hard cover book for my mouse pad. There I have it my version of $8,000.00 altwork station. Lazy boy recliner and hospital bed tray. For home use.
Agreed, I wouldn't be surprised if it literally is a dental chair but they replaced the boom for the light and tray for the monitor stand and keyboard tray.
@@RsKnDR0991 I'm 90% sure it was due to just being a little too careless in my previous physical labor job. Picking up things that were a bit too heavy, and lifting with too much back bending and not enough legs/hips. It got progressively more painful for a while but I ignored it until one day I basically couldn't even roll over in bed. One MRI of the lumbar spine later, 4 slipped discs and a slightly fractured vertebrae. I was 20 years old at the time. Got a follow-up MRI about 2 years later and a 5th one had bulged as well. Not a fun time, would not recommend haha. It still hurts all the time but I've managed to adapt my life to it and get used to it, for the most part :)
I wonder if someone could mod this to be a flight simulator. Changing out the hydraulics to be more responsive and sturdy and programming it to follow a joystick. One thing I am curious about is the monitor mount. Four screws are good for a standard adjustable mount, but long periods of time holding it above your head could wear it out, no?
Ahhh yeah, found my new chair! ... to the "I'm not getting married anyway" person... There is the alternative, "screw it, I've been married over a decade and can put it in the garage" chair.
please consider showing them how to make a stripped down windows 10. they keep doing these tests thinking they are getting the best performance possible out of their set ups, not realizing they could be doing soo much more. lowspecgamer even told them off on multiple occasions for not using dual channel ram configurations.
I've been thinking about getting this due to being in an accident but I've found using a standing desk for most of the day has worked well enough for the moment. It didn't seem too bad in the lying down position and I'd probably have the keyboard and mouse in a lower position. It still looks good but there's some great information in this video for consideration such as it being wobbly.
It's sad that no one could test this with back pain in your team, I mean it's good no one has it, but being stuck with herniated disc it's been really hard to sit even 10 minutes on regular chair, so laying and working is the only alternative(assuming you don't fall asleep). About hands. I don't know why would they not add a feature to tilt desk at 75º so you hands could be straighten up. Also, trackpads are better than mouse in that case, because you can use trackpad using your finger, not moving your whole arm and when you remove your hand, it's just there, not falling like a mouse.
Using the correct settings, I use my Logitech MX 5500 Revolution by pretty much only needing to move my hand, not my arm. Just turn my wrist, and I can move the cursor from one end to the other end of my 32" monitor.
i mean its already painful when you drop your phone on your face when your laying down,now imagine a monitor on a higher height edit: Tysm for 400 likes!!!!!!
Yeah, exactly lol. If I'm not 100% sure that arm will hold that heavy as fuck monitor for years without a problem - I'm not laying down with the monitor above my head
@@barknbryce6993 imagine being in a really tall building you're standing on one of the higher floors, you know it's properly built and feels sturdy but you'd still definetly still consider the possibilty of it suddenly breaking and taking you down with it. Obviously doesn't applies to psycopaths
@@barknbryce6993 screws don't mean shit if the base is cheap metal and plastic, which easily deforms over time especially since it's designed to hold the Monitor upright not downside
Hilarious that I spoke to head of sales about the lack of gamer reviews on their chair and included LTT, 3 months later you get one. you're welcome. I had a herniated disc and write software for a living and I was looking at buying one to handle my extreme daily workload of coding and was talking on at least a weekly basis with the head of sales. He was a really nice, friendly, and empathetic guy. I wish i had the space for this desk. You've set it up exactly as I wanted, with a G9.
I really like that you opted for quality keyboard and mice above the weight of apple's peripherals, because I wouldn't find any examples and Altwork didn't seem to really know
I’ve used to work as a BioMed tech and dental office designer. This is nothing more than a dental chair with over the patient mounts. This is why it’s so expensive. If it was FDA certified to be used in a medical office it would be around $19-$25,000. No joke
I feel like you missed the "in between" stages of the chair. Going fully horizontal isn't practical, as you showed, however even a 15-20 degree tilt can relieve TONS of weight off of your lower back.
I like the fact that you can use it for entertainment like laying back while watch movies or youtube content and that you can use it as a work desk while sitting upright.
If when laying back you could put the mouse pad down by your side, and level, it would make using it waaay better. As would a split keyboard either side of your hips. Both of these would eliminate the blood draining from your hands. Personally if I wanted a laying-down workstation, I'd custom build one with more stable monitor support.
Been using a zero-G chair for half a year now, thanks to a friend's recommendation. It does help with back problems and recovery. But I can only comfortably sit in it one hour at a time. And yes, coffee breaks happen outside the chair :) i use both a left trackball and a right mouse. Spent 1.5K on mine and would not have regretted upgrading from the start. Right now, everything works thanks to copious pillows. Note how this one doesn't assume you to be on the short side (mine did) Oh yeah, i exercise in between sprints to maintain the blood flow and alertness. I wish I had prevented my back issues, but sometimes, this is the best one has
I feel like having a second easily adjustable arm on the right side that you could lock in with the other from the back once you are seated would fix the wobbliness issue. Just need to be made in such a way that it gets out of the way easily when you unlock it to get in and out. The promotional material also use much smaller/lighter monitors for this reason (wobbliness) i bet.
As someone with lower back pain and no desk chair, I'm basically confined to my bed for computer work and would _kill_ to have a workstation like this.
I'm personally happy to see folks that are honest reviewers and not just sellin products cause pay offs. Right off the bat when I looked at that, it looked very uncomfortable. My father's Bariatric wheelchair wasn't very comfortable though and it was built for someone to almost live out of the chair. In fact, the cost of this one is almost same as his chair was. The biggest differences is that instead of mobility, letting him drive around at speed of light jogging, you got the computer parts that plug in and isn't meant to move. I'm bit curious as to the weight of this behemoth of chair. My father's was around 500lb without him in the seat and that thing looks like it's holding up almost as much metal and misc electronics as his chair did. Honestly, I think I could make something for 10th of the price easily and be just as comfortable, if not more so. Heck, if wanted comfy chair, I could just use my Lay-Z-boy recliner and have the armature mounted onto the side of it. That's far more comfy, an cheaper than that thing looks to be, plus has enough room on it for that scene with the kid :P (Bariatric size chair)
Maybe because the Eames is handmade in the USA out of molded plywood that is made from fine hardwood like walnut or Brazilian rosewood or ash, with upholstery in full grain aniline leather or mohair fabric.
This chair is made of some memory foam or something, the eames chair has beautiful hand carved wood, leather and an amazing support team. Plus you're also paying for the brand image of Herman Miller and especially the eames lounge chair which has appeared in many movies and shows. Also that focuses more on the reading and private library market and not necessarily on the productivity market. HM can charge people that kind of money given they have private libraries sometimes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This looks like the chair from Grandma's Boy where the dude comes into his office and he's reclined in the chair programming and blasting music. "Does it scare you?" "No, I just don't like techno." "You would if you had robot ears."
one question I have: have you tried maybe setting the level of the desk again after you are in lying position, like setting in back up so its more or less parallel to the floor, maybe a bit of an increased angle. Like I see space to get it further down too, that seems like a way more comfortable position and it would elimate the fighting with gravity. could cause some problems if you go back in sitting position tho
don't know why, but this chair makes me want to grab a sweater, glassess and a note pad. then when people fully recline in it, ask them "how do you feel?"
I somehow missed this video. I thought it was a new one. Being able to rotate the entire chair would negate the need to actually have such a huge turning circle for the desk as well, which is also a good bonus for size requirements for the room you'd need for it. Add in some shock and dampening systems on the arms to absorb all the wobbles and you are absolutely golden, you could use it in all positions. A trackball is an absolute must for this though. No mice need apply. Get out of here mice! Although that was a pretty good simple hack solution. The company could probably add something like that in to the documentation as an official recommendation, same with the keyboard idea for particularly heavy keyboards. Stronger magnets runs the risk of not getting the damn keyboard back off, or damage, which wouldn't be good.
I've been dealing with a CSF leak for about 4 years now and have dreams about an all in one like this for a while now. Getting by with a reclining exec chair and a foot rest with some very long swing arm wall mounted monitor mounts but still on a search for something like this. seems like this isn't much better than the Cluvens scorpion. But they are both so expensive. Maybe one day i'll find the perfect setup but I don't think this is the one. also, yes, when you're reclining past 45 degrees and you want to drink something you better bring a bib. haha
And it all could have been remedied so easily. The key was was Linus saying it would have been a good thing if the seat could swivel. Simply skip the swing away monitor and table design, make the seat swivel in the upright position and you can have two uprights for the table and monitor making them much more stable. Just swivel the chair to sit down or getting up. It could be motorized just to make it have that luxury feeling. Add a couple of programmable choices for seat, table and monitor positioning and it would be more compact, more stable and probably not a whole lot more expensive to make.
"How did he die?" "Broken neck from a falling monitor while taking a nap 😴" Also who tf games at that position? You get into it you're on the edge of your seat. And for that price it better comes with a gyro side table or cup holder attached so it stays upright no matter the angle.
I have herniated disks and pain from standing more than 20 minutes at a time. Sitting causes coccyx pain. While working the only thing I can do is lie in my floor, go to my hands and knees in the floor or crouch between clients. I'm miserable and my productivity is a fraction of what it used to be before my issues. The stated drawbacks in this video are insignificant if it makes it so I'm working with at least reduced pain and can increase my productivity. I'm a nurse so bedside is no longer an option. If this can keep me working and avoid going on disability and continue to provide for my wife and kids this is a solid option. I'm hoping to be trying this soon. Its expensive but not working costs more.

Picking up things that were a bit too heavy, and lifting with too much back bending and not enough legs/hips. It got progressively more painful for a while but I ignored it until one day I basically couldn't even roll over in bed. One MRI of the lumbar spine later, 4 slipped discs and a slightly fractured vertebrae. I was 20 years old at the time. Got a follow-up MRI about 2 years later and a 5th one had bulged as well. Not a fun time, would not recommend haha. It still hurts all the time but I've managed to adapt my life to it and get used to it, for the most part :)

I wonder if someone could mod this to be a flight simulator. Changing out the hydraulics to be more responsive and sturdy and programming it to follow a joystick. One thing I am curious about is the monitor mount. Four screws are good for a standard adjustable mount, but long periods of time holding it above your head could wear it out, no?

I've been thinking about getting this due to being in an accident but I've found using a standing desk for most of the day has worked well enough for the moment. It didn't seem too bad in the lying down position and I'd probably have the keyboard and mouse in a lower position. It still looks good but there's some great information in this video for consideration such as it being wobbly.
What d
It's sad that no one could test this with back pain in your team, I mean it's good no one has it, but being stuck with herniated disc it's been really hard to sit even 10 minutes on regular chair, so laying and working is the only alternative(assuming you don't fall asleep).
About hands. I don't know why would they not add a feature to tilt desk at 75º so you hands could be straighten up. Also, trackpads are better than mouse in that case, because you can use trackpad using your finger, not moving your whole arm and when you remove your hand, it's just there, not falling like a mouse.
Using the correct settings, I use my Logitech MX 5500 Revolution by pretty much only needing to move my hand, not my arm. Just turn my wrist, and I can move the cursor from one end to the other end of my 32" monitor.

Hilarious that I spoke to head of sales about the lack of gamer reviews on their chair and included LTT, 3 months later you get one. you're welcome.
I had a herniated disc and write software for a living and I was looking at buying one to handle my extreme daily workload of coding and was talking on at least a weekly basis with the head of sales.

I’ve used to work as a BioMed tech and dental office designer. This is nothing more than a dental chair with over the patient mounts. This is why it’s so expensive. If it was FDA certified to be used in a medical office it would be around $19-$25,000. No joke

I feel like you missed the "in between" stages of the chair. Going fully horizontal isn't practical, as you showed, however even a 15-20 degree tilt can relieve TONS of weight off of your lower back.

I like how no one wanted to use the desk/chair due to being scared if being unproductive so... the CEO had to use it... Lmao
If when laying back you could put the mouse pad down by your side, and level, it would make using it waaay better. As would a split keyboard either side of your hips. Both of these would eliminate the blood draining from your hands. Personally if I wanted a laying-down workstation, I'd custom build one with more stable monitor support.
thanks for the idea of the split keyboard thing, i doubt ill be able to do it but its a good idea either way
Been using a zero-G chair for half a year now, thanks to a friend's recommendation. It does help with back problems and recovery. But I can only comfortably sit in it one hour at a time. And yes, coffee breaks happen outside the chair :) i use both a left trackball and a right mouse. Spent 1.5K on mine and would not have regretted upgrading from the start. Right now, everything works thanks to copious pillows.
Note how this one doesn't assume you to be on the short side (mine did)
Oh yeah, i exercise in between sprints to maintain the blood flow and alertness.
I wish I had prevented my back issues, but sometimes, this is the best one has
I feel like having a second easily adjustable arm on the right side that you could lock in with the other from the back once you are seated would fix the wobbliness issue. Just need to be made in such a way that it gets out of the way easily when you unlock it to get in and out.
The promotional material also use much smaller/lighter monitors for this reason (wobbliness) i bet.

I'm personally happy to see folks that are honest reviewers and not just sellin products cause pay offs.
Right off the bat when I looked at that, it looked very uncomfortable. My father's Bariatric wheelchair wasn't very comfortable though and it was built for someone to almost live out of the chair. In fact, the cost of this one is almost same as his chair was. The biggest differences is that instead of mobility, letting him drive around at speed of light jogging, you got the computer parts that plug in and isn't meant to move. I'm bit curious as to the weight of this behemoth of chair. My father's was around 500lb without him in the seat and that thing looks like it's holding up almost as much metal and misc electronics as his chair did.
Honestly, I think I could make something for 10th of the price easily and be just as comfortable, if not more so. Heck, if wanted comfy chair, I could just use my Lay-Z-boy recliner and have the armature mounted onto the side of it. That's far more comfy, an cheaper than that thing looks to be, plus has enough room on it for that scene with the kid :P (Bariatric size chair)
This makes me question why the Herman Miller
Eames chair cost $6,495.00 and doesn't come with a 40" monitor and cup holder.
Maybe because the Eames is handmade in the USA out of molded plywood that is made from fine hardwood like walnut or Brazilian rosewood or ash, with upholstery in full grain aniline leather or mohair fabric.
This chair is made of some memory foam or something, the eames chair has beautiful hand carved wood, leather and an amazing support team. Plus you're also paying for the brand image of Herman Miller and especially the eames lounge chair which has appeared in many movies and shows. Also that focuses more on the reading and private library market and not necessarily on the productivity market. HM can charge people that kind of money given they have private libraries sometimes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"You would if you had robot ears."

"Seven thousand, six hundred and fifty dollars. That's the price, of virginity"
What the hell are you
Idk $0 can also be
99% of virgins wish they had 8k to throw away on a dumb chair.
one question I have: have you tried maybe setting the level of the desk again after you are in lying position, like setting in back up so its more or less parallel to the floor, maybe a bit of an increased angle. Like I see space to get it further down too, that seems like a way more comfortable position and it would elimate the fighting with gravity.
could cause some problems if you go back in sitting position tho
don't know why, but this chair makes me want to grab a sweater, glassess and a note pad. then when people fully recline in it, ask them "how do you feel?"
Tell me about your childhood
Oh a psychiatrist
I somehow missed this video. I thought it was a new one.
Being able to rotate the entire chair would negate the need to actually have such a huge turning circle for the desk as well, which is also a good bonus for size requirements for the room you'd need for it.
Add in some shock and dampening systems on the arms to absorb all the wobbles and you are absolutely golden, you could use it in all positions.
A trackball is an absolute must for this though. No mice need apply. Get out of here mice! Although that was a pretty good simple hack solution. The company could probably add something like that in to the documentation as an official recommendation, same with the keyboard idea for particularly heavy keyboards. Stronger magnets runs the risk of not getting the damn keyboard back off, or damage, which wouldn't be good.

I've been dealing with a CSF leak for about 4 years now and have dreams about an all in one like this for a while now. Getting by with a reclining exec chair and a foot rest with some very long swing arm wall mounted monitor mounts but still on a search for something like this. seems like this isn't much better than the Cluvens scorpion. But they are both so expensive. Maybe one day i'll find the perfect setup but I don't think this is the one. also, yes, when you're reclining past 45 degrees and you want to drink something you better bring a bib. haha
I'm disabled & would love a set up like this too, it cold really benifit a lot of people, such a shame it's so darn expensive.

That horizontal position makes me super nervous. I don't know if Linus would survive that monitor smoking him off the forehead
nobody:
desk: "looks like somebody hasn't been flossing..."
No. You lost me when you said it's vibrating from typing. Deal breaker.
yeah... how do you conceive an office chair that fail at making the most obvious office activity better ...
And it all could have been remedied so easily. The key was was Linus saying it would have been a good thing if the seat could swivel. Simply skip the swing away monitor and table design, make the seat swivel in the upright position and you can have two uprights for the table and monitor making them much more stable. Just swivel the chair to sit down or getting up. It could be motorized just to make it have that luxury feeling. Add a couple of programmable choices for seat, table and monitor positioning and it would be more compact, more stable and probably not a whole lot more expensive to make.
Speaking of vibrating, they didn't think to add a massage function like you can find in luxury car seats?
"How did he die?" "Broken neck from a falling monitor while taking a nap 😴" Also who tf games at that position? You get into it you're on the edge of your seat. And for that price it better comes with a gyro side table or cup holder attached so it stays upright no matter the angle.
I have herniated disks and pain from standing more than 20 minutes at a time. Sitting causes coccyx pain. While working the only thing I can do is lie in my floor, go to my hands and knees in the floor or crouch between clients. I'm miserable and my productivity is a fraction of what it used to be before my issues. The stated drawbacks in this video are insignificant if it makes it so I'm working with at least reduced pain and can increase my productivity. I'm a nurse so bedside is no longer an option. If this can keep me working and avoid going on disability and continue to provide for my wife and kids this is a solid option. I'm hoping to be trying this soon. Its expensive but not working costs more.
Now I know the definition “he just has a good gaming chair”
I constantly had the flextape guy in my head saying "That's a lot of wobble" while watching this.
Tape the monitor with flextape to the stand, so it wont fall off.
