What reviewers say about the ErgoChair Pro
Three whitelisted hands-on testers (TechRadar, Tom's Guide, Tom's Hardware) all found the Autonomous ErgoChair Pro a solid, highly adjustable mid-range chair with a comfortable, supportive mesh back and quick, easy assembly. TechRadar was wholly positive, calling it 'phenomenal' for the money. Tom's Guide and Tom's Hardware both flag thin seat padding and a poor fit for taller or larger users, and Tom's Hardware judged it merely average, lacking any standout feature for its ~$449 price.

Where reviewers disagree All-day seat comfort splits the testers: TechRadar found the seat comfortable through a full 8-hour day, while Tom's Hardware said the mesh seat isn't as comfortable as padded seats over long-term use and made him get up and move around more often, and Tom's Guide couldn't sit on it without a coccyx cushion for more than a few minutes.

Assembly time (one experienced person): around 18 minutes
Altogether, for the money, this chair is phenomenal.
Sitting in this chair has helped alleviate back pain and even wrist pain from the wrong angles.
Quite a bit of the chair is made of plastic
Assembly / construction time: around 20-30 minutes
The Autonomous ErgoChair Pro is a fantastic chair to prevent or soothe minor pain and correct posture.
The ErgoChair Pro's mesh back and headrest padding is really comfortable.
While the mesh padding on the chair's back and headrest is great, the same can't be said for the seat base and arms.
Assembly time (with included hand tool, solo): about 35 minutes
its sturdy build quality, lightweight construction and aforementioned overall frame support do make it a decent gaming or office chair.
this same mesh makes the seat less than ideal for long periods of sitting, with the overall lack of padding potentially being a pain point for those who work and play all day at a desk.
It's good, but it's average, lacking any feature that helps it stand out from other chairs in its range.
