For all the people having issues with this chair go get the chair made by Autonomous. It's a legit chair.

pwnermanThe chair isn't "made by" Autonomous. Autonomous doesn't make anything. They used Kickstarter to fund their Chinese furniture reseller company (and yes, this is a violation of Kickstarter's ToS).
The ErgoChair is a repackaged chair produced by the Chinese furniture manufacturer Maratti:

This "Massdrop Made" chair can probably be found directly from the manufacturer on Alibaba as well.

TapedeckNinjaWhere is the proof of that though? I mean they could have easily copied the chair Autonomous made but regardless it's a better chair than this.

pwnermanYou can find Chinese press releases about the Maratti chair that predate the original Autonomous Kickstarter campaign, such as: http://m.walking-media.com/cn/nd.jsp?id=47#_np=0_566_7
Autonomous does not manufacture anything. Where is their factory?
In fact, after being informed that Autonomous was simply using funds to bankroll their Chinese furniture resale company, Kickstarter conducted a review and canceled funding for the product. Go to the ErgoChair Kickstarter page. You can see that it was shut down.
A user on /r/shittykickstarters went so far as to contact Maratti and managed to obtain confirmation, including photo evidence: https://www.reddit.com/r/shittykickstarters/comments/5825wn/500k_office_chair_kickstarter_is_really_just/?st=jjw6cpf7&sh=c73969ee
In fact, if you're in the market for a task chair, most of the cheaper models you'll find on the market (Pursuit and Vert chairs by UPLIFT, Raynor chairs, etc.) are just resold chairs that can be found on Alibaba.

TapedeckNinjaI know all about the Kickstarter but in the end it doesn't matter because the slight premium Autonomous charges is fine with me especially since you get a warranty, free returns in the USA if you don't like it and quick shipping. You can't deny me there
