I've had the Branch Ergonomic Chair for 2 years now and I use it quite frequently and it still holds up great, never had any problems with the cushion or arms and its very comfortable to sit in for long periods. However, converting USD to CAD this chair is on the higher side of your budget (USD$380,

Just wanted to point out for everyone, Branch was able to send me their most recent version of the chair back and cushion, and it resolved all the complaints I was having with discomfort and stiffness. Definitely recommend the latest iteration of the ergonomic chair! It’s so much better

i think for that price the best that you can do are the HON Ignition 2.0 or the Branch Ergonomic Chair both solid options under $300, with good lumbar support and cushioning that make them more comfortable for long hours than mesh-heavy designs

I just opened the packaging, and it is quite heavy. It feels like the weighted vests you use at the dentist's office when you get an X-ray. I placed it on my Branch Ergonomic chair, and it really does keep your butt cool, for lack of a better description. The one negative I see so far, although it m
