you know what's better than one gaming chair two gaming chairs and I'm excited
today to finally be unboxing the Herman Miller Logitech Phantom gaming chair and
the reason I'm excited about it is because this is the first gaming chair
from Herman Miller that is designed specifically for gamers which I'm kind
of a gamer myself so let's see how this goes let's start with the Box open here
right from the top ready to play Just Three Steps stand between you and the
next level of ergonomics simply place the seat onto the base install the
headrest and then follow the QR code to adjust the chair to your exact
specifications that is awesome so for 995 dollars I don't even have to really
assemble the chair it's like pretty much ready to go out of the box which is
really cool do I even need this beautiful Jerry rig everything knife from lttstore.com I don't know do I even
need to do this video I don't know but we're gonna find out yo that is such a
spoiler yeah yo even just moving that it Glides that
felt so good and I was just moving the base of the the base of this chair I
like the amount of recyclable cardboard that they're using one of the cool
things about this chair is that on all their Market materials they're saying
that this chair is not designed to be replaced I think they said about 90 of
the chair can be recycled at its end of life and Herman Miller chairs at least
this one in particular comes with a 12 year warranty which is really cool
Phantom gaming chair okay it's a picture of the chair I think that's what it's
supposed to look like when I'm done building it anything else in this box nothing
yeah that didn't do anything
okay and now we basically got the rest
of the chair this can be really difficult make sure
to follow closely follow closely everyone
wow that's really difficult
I think that's how it's supposed to be
well let me actually look at the instructions so we assembled the chair
under the base correctly insert the headrest into the chair back slot I
think I just need to push there's a little plastic clip here and I'm kind of
wondering if this is supposed to be here or not
my gosh okay oh holy crap
I just didn't know how much force to apply putting that down okay we're good
and then step four of the installation instructions is to just sit on it and
that's how you complete the uh the assembly
bum drop on it make sure the base is really in there and that's it
if I knew how to install the headrest that probably would have took less than 60 seconds to actually install which is
really good now we're gonna do the other one should we speed run it I could do it
two one go
oh no another thing I have to open with my knife
this is honestly gonna take the longest I hope you're actually timing me
what this is fantastic
he's very nice A little bit of contrast
this chair comes in three colorways comes in Black obsidian uh dang it I
forgot what the other ones are called what no it's not
uh comes in a black black and red and a black and white
how long did that take that was like 60 seconds right I think I like the
contrast of the white colorway so we're gonna go with that for our initial kind
of design Impressions here you'll notice by looking at the chair it's leaning a
little bit forward and that's because it's got an active forward lean and
Alignment to get you to naturally sit up straight and sit a little bit more
forward which is supposed to be better for your back I like the just chill
nature of it I already talked a bit about how
smooth it seems to Glide which is great the Phantom features a glass filled
nylon Basin frame Alex just walked by Alex what's so cool about glass filled
nylon I don't really know I just know that high-end tools use it
that's enough for me I think it helps
oh okay that's sick so the other thing is that it has recycled polyester fabric
this is interesting when I first touched the armrest I thought they were like a
hard ABS plastic but they're like a foam
it's a polyurethane skin foam and it
actually is like hard and soft at the
same time it's a little tough to describe but it's cool what are these
names dude skin foam
you notice on the rear i o of this chair
you've got a adjustable headrest which kind of went through before I was having
issues installing it but now that it's in it's good it has just the right amount
of give when you're adjusting it it's also got thoracic support pads as well
as this kind of spinal support system here and at long last I'm going to sit
on this chair I would love to tell you how I'm feeling

I can say with real honesty I've never been so comfortable reading sponsor read
before this chair is comfortable this lttstore.com polar fleece is comfortable
I'm just comfortable I'm just relaxed I
don't even know what else to say let me actually sit up straight try adjusting
the armrests they kind of just go there's no buttons
or anything that you press oh yeah there are sorry that's a lie so I can go up
and down I can go forward and backward very easily I don't think you can go 4D
I don't think you can turn them unless I'm wrong I don't think these turn left
to right oh they go like that though
hey back is supported let me play with
some of the dials here I think this just adjusts tension for the spinal support
system I felt it moving for a little bit before then I heard a horrifying noise
now I'm wondering if I broke it Belle can you slide me the other chair
okay it's good all right I was freaking out for nothing so the
amount of movement that the lumbar sport system does is just as simple as
I do like that you can adjust it on either side I'm glad that they have
these so if you're left-handed or right-handed you can easily change it it's just not complicated which is
really nice on your right side you'll find the tension adjustment so it goes
from one to six adjusting the tension for the recline and then on the left
side here we'll find the Tilt limiter so six means this is as far back as I can
go and if I turn it down to one I'm assuming I can't go back
at all which is correct a few more things it's got the seat depth
adjustment which is on the right side here as part of the actual seat I can't
seem to get it to work I don't know if I'm just like doing it wrong
I don't know hold on let me try to go back here
we're trying to figure this out folks bear with us technical difficulty
I don't know man I don't know dude in theory it's forward okay we got it it
turns out both of our chairs were already fully extended so this is the
chair in its back form again remember what I said this whole chair is designed
to have you sitting upright and forward for long gaming sessions okay so now
I'll actually adjust it and move forward
there we go that's how that's supposed to work and then the last thing that we
need to find is the seat height adjustment this is it in its lowest
state this is it in its highest state and I'm
short so we're going back down at this point in the video you might be wondering how much does this thing cost
well let me tell you it costs 995 dollars U.S which is a lot of money for
a chair don't get me wrong but it's actually less than the Herman Miller
embody and honestly chairs in my experience are one of those things that
you kind of get what you pay for I have an Amazon Basics Ergo chair at home that
I paid 150 Canadian for and it is completely trashed I've had it for a
year I need to get another one my experience with Herman Miller chairs at work though have been that they last we
have Herman Miller chairs to hear that we've had for years and I would hope
that this chair could also stand the test of time as well the Herman Miller
embody gaming chair that I'm sitting in right now retails for 17.95 USD you can
sometimes get it on sale it's on sale right now the Phantom is only 995 USD
and honestly for the cost savings I would go with this this you're going to
get more customization it looks more badass but this just seems
straightforward minimalist I just like it more lastly let's get gaming and
let's get some other people to game too when I game I have a tendency to lean
back and this chair is not allowing me to do so and I don't say that in a
negative way I mean I just feel actually supported and the fact that I can set
the lean tension and the lean limit
s i can get to the right amount of comfy you know let's get some other people
Jeff do you game Jeff what chair do you use
at home I use the Razer isker that you did a first look on like two years ago
do you like it I enjoy it the lumbar support's kind of cool I get kind of
sweaty because like the leather stuff yeah this looks kind of good take this for a
test drive my front my butt feels supported oh playing games
my arms feel you know at the right level I think my feet are on the ground would
you pay 995 US dollars for it though honestly yes for a Herman Miller that's
pretty good I hear that their warranty is really really good so I'm sure this
will last me a lifetime of Gaming wow maybe didn't even pay the guy didn't
even pay the guy all right next up let's go we've got the biggest gamer in the
house I don't know about that I don't know no I just uh we got ploof he sits
this man sits I like to sit down you're
a keyboard guy you have to sit for the keyboard right what do you have what
kind of chair do you have right now I have a Herman Miller Mira at home oh
okay yeah nice how do you like it uh I like it a lot I got the steel case
series uh one or whatever for my Intel upgrade and I and I changed it out
almost immediately because you know what as much as they're a big competitor to
Herman Miller it's uh it's not the same one thing I will say is around the
office we do have steel case and we have Herman Millers and anyone that sees a
steel case is like can I have a Herman Miller and I'm not even trying to be
rude I love steel case chairs they're great but yeah it just is what it is I
know so the one thing oh no it does okay so it's got like four directional armor
it does yeah I thought it didn't but it does angle though
I don't think so I have not been able to get them to angle okay
I don't know it's good seems comfortable sitting down for a little while and I'm
not uncomfortable so yeah beautiful all right next up next up next up sit in the
chair Linus yeah you're a chair guy right this thing
sucks plus has no taste no taste at all
I'm totally kidding what chair do you have at home Linus secret Labs whatever
one that we have on the WAN Show oh secret lab okay
okay this actually does not have uh this actually does not have great butt
support I have a bit of a thicker Caboose and I can I can feel hey
but what would you call this like these are bolsters what's what's this
yeah ass bolsters yes bolsters
and B like I can immediately feel the
plastic or plywood or whatever it is under it have you sat in the embody
chair before Linus yeah okay so that one
is almost double the price this is 995
that's 17.95 I don't think I would have ever thought that I would recommend the
1700 chair but if it's other but if the
other option is this are other people saying it's good other than blue who
apparently has an ass native steel uh Jeff said it was good I don't know if we
can trust Jeff
I can feel the bottom yeah you're sitting on a plank man the phone's not
firm enough it's just so firm that it feels like the
plank oh yeah I can feel it no that's the point interesting yeah
we're getting strong plankage Factor right now you heard it here at the end
of the day it's a chair it's all going to come down to personal preference you're not gonna be able to please
everybody unless you're your mama oh I
knew he was gonna do it anyways thank you very much for watching this video
