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

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:12.080
category to begin with since you can't exactly graph butt comfort and Excel

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:16.320
making everything very subjective but since we needed to find new chairs for

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.279
our new office whether we ended up buying them or trading a position as the

00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:24.720
official chair of our new office and the WAN Show or something like that we set

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:31.240
out to find something that would match our black and orange corporate colors

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:34.719
yeah and cushion our press highes while

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:36.680
we make videos about both chairs and

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.740
other

00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:49.320
things ozone gamings argon RGB Mouse

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

00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:03.000
description to learn more need for seat the first brand we were actually ever in

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:08.280
contact with left a very good impression with their Dominator chair DX racer sent

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

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.400
built as the max nomic then we received chairs from arazzi and GT Omega that

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.720
were decidedly not as good as either of the others even though we did appreciate

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

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.720
with the way things were just kind of getting worse as we continued to pursue

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:36.280
less known Brands we made a final decision and Max nomic ended up

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.680
sponsoring all the chairs at our office but that doesn't mean that I wasn't

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:47.360
reading your messages asking us to check out something other than flashy gaming

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:50.000
chairs enter the office Master om5 a

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.680
non-gaming chair but also the winner of pcgamer.com recommended award in April

00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:00.200
of this year and an option that intrigued me enough to give a non-gaming

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.840
chair a spin for review even though we had already locked in a sponsor for the

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:10.160
new office first I needed to get my handson one so we reached out to Ergo

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.720
direct who carries pretty much every

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:16.280
different variety of om5 you could possibly want and it's actually it's a

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:21.360
little easier than it sounds because every single chair is customade with a

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:26.160
wide variety of color and finish options available so I went with the premium

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:32.000
padium gray frame the pivoting and sliding ARM upgrade the gray polylex

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.560
slatted back material without upholstery my back tends to get kind of warm so I

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.280
figured the ventilation would be nice then I went with the rocket 4506 color

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:43.879
for the Ceda hstry added a chrome cylinder and polished aluminum base and

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.480
finished it off with the standard multi-surface soft casters overall I'd

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:54.200
say the ordering process was actually the most difficult part of this video I

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:58.840
mean the information is all there like the upholstery fabric catalog that

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:04.280
actually gives a really nice look at all the various weaves and finishes below

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.879
the chair itself but Ergo direct could

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:10.680
improve the ordering experience dramatically with a live preview as

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.000
you're selecting options like what dbrand.com has on their vinyl skin

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

00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:22.440
like all put together before you click order something that in my mind is

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:26.440
essential when you're ordering online once the chair arrived though it was

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:29.159
packed well enough and setup was very straightforward like if you've ever

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:34.680
assembled a chair there won't be anything here to surprise you other than

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.879
how heavy the om5 is for its size but I

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:41.239
guess that's where the lifetime warranty comes from because the construction of

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.400
the chair was very good across the board the casters roll smoothly the

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:50.840
construction of the frame is rugged the back rest slats have ample give without

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:55.799
feeling flimsy and even the plastic used feels similar to that stuff that they

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.079
make like kids playgrounds out of super

00:03:55.799 --> 00:04:01.159
tough and not cheap feeling at all all

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

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:11.239
computer room at home since Ergo direct sent it to me so for about four months

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:15.560
and I guess you can consider the following to be based on my long-term

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

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:27.199
about 100 lb since the chair only ended up belonging to me for about 6 weeks

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

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:36.240
recently to finally do this video the seat cushion material is great some

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.440
seats like the leather Costco office chairs that my wife and I were using

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:45.199
before have this padding material on it that feels soft when you put your hands

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:47.880
on it but that is too soft and exposes

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:52.039
your tushy to the hard flat wooden board underneath when you have to sit on it

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

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.840
chairs in the office that use a dense enough foam to prevent the issue but

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:05.720
office Master takes things a step further by shaping the hard supporting

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:10.120
surface below the cushion to relieve any potential pressure points my butts not

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.520
flat so it makes sense for the seat surface to have more cushion near the

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

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

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:27.240
complaints here number one is that the plastic slats remind me of like 80s

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

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

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

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:45.240
office Master not sitting in it naked master so I guess that's not a complaint

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

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:54.800
automatically redistribute themselves to the shape of my back so they can be

00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:58.759
supportive without any pressure points whether I'm sitting completely straight

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

00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:06.680
feature of the om5 it only has a height

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:12.800
adjust lever on the bottom that's it there is no lever to recline because the

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.240
user is expected to just lean to adjust

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:20.120
the position and have it stay there and this is some serious witchcraft here

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:21.919
because it actually works to be clear it

00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.599
doesn't recline the way that our gaming chairs can and it doesn't have the

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:29.800
requisite headrest for that functionality to make sense anyway you

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

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

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:43.400
mean I have no complaints the armrests were very underwhelming especially

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:47.520
considering this is an upgraded option over the standard ones and the base

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:52.599
chair doesn't come with any armrests at all they are adjustable in height

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:58.599
forward and backward movement and angle but the angle positions are very limited

00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:03.199
and the forward back slider doesn't lock at all meaning it was something I

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:08.520
constantly had to fidget with and on the subject of paying extra for adjustable

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.319
armrests by the way the om5 uh is not

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:15.720
cheap it may be affordable compared to Brands like Herman Miller but while I

00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:20.240
had actually written a lot of this review thinking that the Dominator chair

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:23.879
that I use in my office at work was similarly priced because it's been over

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

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:34.520
in its base configuration with no armrests is $200 more than a dominator

00:07:32.919 --> 00:07:40.080
and the config that you're looking at costs about double so is the om5 the

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:45.840
most comfortable of the chairs we've reviewed so far the answer is yes with

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:50.720
its versatility as a one-size fitall solution being another major selling

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.879
point especially if you're outfitting an office for more than 10 people and you

00:07:52.960 --> 00:08:00.520
can't run around buying a different Siz chair for everybody's body type but with

00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:05.240
convenience and comfort comes a higher price tag nothing outlandish but it just

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:10.960
does cost more speaking of whatever I was talking about crunchy roll the site
