Its a great choice for any home office.
Just about every ergonomic office chair Ive tested so far has featured similar designs and materials.
In this case, the Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro features vegan leather throughout.
The answer is yes, but there are trade-offs.
That price does not include the headrest ($69) and its available to purchase now onBranchs website.
Branch offers free shipping, as well as 30 day returns on the Ergonomic Chair Pro.
Theres also a 7-year warranty.
The entire build process took me about 15 minutes, most of which was spent unboxing/unwrapping the parts.
In fact, Branch includes this tip in the instructions, which are clear and easy to follow.
Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro: Adjustability
Branch says its Ergonomic Chair Pro offers 14 points of adjustment.
The back tilt also features a tension adjustment.
Theres also a forward seat tilt adjustment, which is a neat inclusion at this price.
Usually, this feature is only present on more expensive chairs.
The 5D armrests also feature tons of adjustment, aside from the basic arm height movement.
The standard material is a mesh back panel and fabric seat.
Theres also a vegan leather option, which I chose.
And at the high end of the spectrum, you might go with a full leather construction.
you could also choose a couple of add-ons before you purchase.
I chose the headrest, but stuck with the standard range cylinder.
The seat is constructed with high-density foam to provide support and comfort for long hours at your desk.
It all rides on an aluminum base that rolls on scratch-proof casters.
The Ergonomic Chair Pro also looks great.
My test sample came with the vegan leather option, which fits in nicely with my home office decor.
It was a nice change of pace to test a chair that wasnt black or gray.
The brown vegan leather option was a gamble for me, but Im pretty pleased with it.
The downside to vegan leather, however, is that it isnt breathable.
Nor would the leather option be breathable.
Of course, if thats my biggest complaint, then Branch is surely onto something with this ergonomic chair.
And indeed, its a comfy and super adjustable chair, and Ive been quite happy with it.
The seat bottom errs toward the firmer end of the spectrum when it comes to cushioning.
I found the seat bottom supportive and more comfortable than other firm seat bottoms Ive tested.
The seat back gets a lot of its support from the vegan leather.
It cradles your back nicely.
One of the downsides of airier, mesh backs is the lack of support, especially over time.
Mesh tends to flex more, which leads to more movement and, ultimately, wear.
The vegan leather will also likely stretch over time, but thats not going to happen anytime soon.
The headrest has been a bit trickier to dial in.
That means its only useful if youre leaning back and I mean way, way back.
While sitting up, the headrest only works if Im staring up at the ceiling.
The back tilt tension is a neat feature Ive come to appreciate more than I thought I would.
The arm pad adjustments are nice, and they snap into place once youve found your ideal position.
The seat bottom tilt is another great feature Ive come to enjoy.
If youre after tons of breathability, the vegan leather or leather options are not your best choice.
Fortunately, Branch offers a mesh version of this chair and the originalBranch Ergonomic Chairalso has a mesh backrest.
