Our Verdict

If you want support at a mid-range price, this is the chair for you. While not flashy or cloud-like, it does ergonomics well, with oodles of adjustability but a compromise on build quality.

For

  • Super-supportive
  • Breathable
  • Lots of adjustability

Against

  • Medium build quality
  • Not for tall people
  • No cushioning

When I embarked on this SIHOO M57 Office chair review, I couldn't see how any chair could improve on my perfectly acceptable existing chair. No, I don't remember what the brand is but it said it was ergonomic and I was pretty okay with the experience. 

So, did the SIHOO M57's feature set convince me otherwise? The price point is excellent, sure, but does it offer value for money or is it simply basic? In short, a bit of both. It may earn a place in our best office chair for back pain roundup, and really when taken in context of the market as a whole, this is a great budget ergonomic chair. Just don't expect real leather and premium quality materials.
