1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160
so r4a into chair reviews has been an interesting one it's a it's a weird

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:12,080
category to begin with since you can't exactly graph butt comfort and Excel

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,320
making everything very subjective but since we needed to find new chairs for

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,279
our new office whether we ended up buying them or trading a position as the

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:24,720
official chair of our new office and the WAN Show or something like that we set

6
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:31,240
out to find something that would match our black and orange corporate colors

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:34,719
yeah and cushion our press highes while

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,680
we make videos about both chairs and

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:39,740
other

10
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:49,320
things ozone gamings argon RGB Mouse

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:53,600
features an 8200 DPI laser sensor complete with a 16.8 million color

00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:58,160
lighting system and nine programmable buttons check out the link in the video

13
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:03,000
description to learn more need for seat the first brand we were actually ever in

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:08,280
contact with left a very good impression with their Dominator chair DX racer sent

15
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:13,520
us their f-s series which we agreed as a team was quite solid but not as well

16
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,400
built as the max nomic then we received chairs from arazzi and GT Omega that

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,720
were decidedly not as good as either of the others even though we did appreciate

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:27,200
the effort GT Omega put in to impress us by embroidering our logo on the chair so

19
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,720
with the way things were just kind of getting worse as we continued to pursue

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,280
less known Brands we made a final decision and Max nomic ended up

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,680
sponsoring all the chairs at our office but that doesn't mean that I wasn't

22
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:47,360
reading your messages asking us to check out something other than flashy gaming

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,000
chairs enter the office Master om5 a

24
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,680
non-gaming chair but also the winner of pcgamer.com recommended award in April

25
00:01:52,799 --> 00:02:00,200
of this year and an option that intrigued me enough to give a non-gaming

26
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:04,840
chair a spin for review even though we had already locked in a sponsor for the

27
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:10,160
new office first I needed to get my handson one so we reached out to Ergo

28
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:12,720
direct who carries pretty much every

29
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,280
different variety of om5 you could possibly want and it's actually it's a

30
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:21,360
little easier than it sounds because every single chair is customade with a

31
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:26,160
wide variety of color and finish options available so I went with the premium

32
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:32,000
padium gray frame the pivoting and sliding ARM upgrade the gray polylex

33
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,560
slatted back material without upholstery my back tends to get kind of warm so I

34
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,280
figured the ventilation would be nice then I went with the rocket 4506 color

35
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:43,879
for the Ceda hstry added a chrome cylinder and polished aluminum base and

36
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,480
finished it off with the standard multi-surface soft casters overall I'd

37
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,200
say the ordering process was actually the most difficult part of this video I

38
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:58,840
mean the information is all there like the upholstery fabric catalog that

39
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:04,280
actually gives a really nice look at all the various weaves and finishes below

40
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,879
the chair itself but Ergo direct could

41
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,680
improve the ordering experience dramatically with a live preview as

42
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:15,000
you're selecting options like what dbrand.com has on their vinyl skin

43
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,640
ordering page where you can see a rough idea of what the chair is going to look

44
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:22,440
like all put together before you click order something that in my mind is

45
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,440
essential when you're ordering online once the chair arrived though it was

46
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,159
packed well enough and setup was very straightforward like if you've ever

47
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,680
assembled a chair there won't be anything here to surprise you other than

48
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:36,879
how heavy the om5 is for its size but I

49
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:41,239
guess that's where the lifetime warranty comes from because the construction of

50
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,400
the chair was very good across the board the casters roll smoothly the

51
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:50,840
construction of the frame is rugged the back rest slats have ample give without

52
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:55,799
feeling flimsy and even the plastic used feels similar to that stuff that they

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,079
make like kids playgrounds out of super

54
00:03:55,799 --> 00:04:01,159
tough and not cheap feeling at all all

55
00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:06,239
right so enough physical tour let's get into the chair I've had the om5 in my

56
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:11,239
computer room at home since Ergo direct sent it to me so for about four months

57
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,560
and I guess you can consider the following to be based on my long-term

58
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:21,479
impressions for your reference I'm 5' 6 150 lb and my wife's who is 5'4 and

59
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:27,199
about 100 lb since the chair only ended up belonging to me for about 6 weeks

60
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:31,280
before she claimed it as her own and I actually only just got it back from her

61
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:36,240
recently to finally do this video the seat cushion material is great some

62
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,440
seats like the leather Costco office chairs that my wife and I were using

63
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:45,199
before have this padding material on it that feels soft when you put your hands

64
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:47,880
on it but that is too soft and exposes

65
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:52,039
your tushy to the hard flat wooden board underneath when you have to sit on it

66
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:55,479
for a long period of time now I don't have this problem with the max nomic

67
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,840
chairs in the office that use a dense enough foam to prevent the issue but

68
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:05,720
office Master takes things a step further by shaping the hard supporting

69
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:10,120
surface below the cushion to relieve any potential pressure points my butts not

70
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,520
flat so it makes sense for the seat surface to have more cushion near the

71
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,440
back where my weight will be above it and less at the front where it just has

72
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,520
to deal with my legs next is the back rest I've only got a couple of

73
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,240
complaints here number one is that the plastic slats remind me of like 80s

74
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:33,319
patio furniture or something I would buy for my kids to sit on they look kind of

75
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:36,759
cheap and number two when you get up in the middle of the night and you're not

76
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:41,319
wearing a shirt you can kind of stick to them a little bit but I mean it's called

77
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,240
office Master not sitting in it naked master so I guess that's not a complaint

78
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:50,360
that they get that often and other than that I love the way the slats adjust to

79
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:54,800
automatically redistribute themselves to the shape of my back so they can be

80
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:58,759
supportive without any pressure points whether I'm sitting completely straight

81
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:04,360
or reclining in it a little bit which leads us I guess to to the big killer

82
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:06,680
feature of the om5 it only has a height

83
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:12,800
adjust lever on the bottom that's it there is no lever to recline because the

84
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,240
user is expected to just lean to adjust

85
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,120
the position and have it stay there and this is some serious witchcraft here

86
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,919
because it actually works to be clear it

87
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,599
doesn't recline the way that our gaming chairs can and it doesn't have the

88
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:29,800
requisite headrest for that functionality to make sense anyway you

89
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:34,280
won't be sleeping in it but if you're going to be working at a desk I'd say it

90
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:38,680
goes about as far back as you could need and then it stays there which doesn't

91
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:43,400
mean I have no complaints the armrests were very underwhelming especially

92
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,520
considering this is an upgraded option over the standard ones and the base

93
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:52,599
chair doesn't come with any armrests at all they are adjustable in height

94
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:58,599
forward and backward movement and angle but the angle positions are very limited

95
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:03,199
and the forward back slider doesn't lock at all meaning it was something I

96
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:08,520
constantly had to fidget with and on the subject of paying extra for adjustable

97
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,319
armrests by the way the om5 uh is not

98
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:15,720
cheap it may be affordable compared to Brands like Herman Miller but while I

99
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:20,240
had actually written a lot of this review thinking that the Dominator chair

100
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,879
that I use in my office at work was similarly priced because it's been over

101
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:29,520
a year since I did the video on that and I forgot how much it costs the om5 even

102
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:34,520
in its base configuration with no armrests is $200 more than a dominator

103
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:40,080
and the config that you're looking at costs about double so is the om5 the

104
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:45,840
most comfortable of the chairs we've reviewed so far the answer is yes with

105
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:50,720
its versatility as a one-size fitall solution being another major selling

106
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,879
point especially if you're outfitting an office for more than 10 people and you

107
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:00,520
can't run around buying a different Siz chair for everybody's body type but with

108
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:05,240
convenience and comfort comes a higher price tag nothing outlandish but it just

109
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:10,960
does cost more speaking of whatever I was talking about crunchy roll the site
