Branch Ergonomic Chair

Based on 117 comments across 2 communities
TL;DR
A near-unanimous favorite: heavily adjustable, genuinely comfortable for long sitting at a fraction of Herman Miller/Steelcase prices. A few wish the seat cushion had more padding, and the headrest ships separately.

74% of 117 verified owners recommend the Branch Ergonomic Chair.

We have two Branch ergonomic chairs for our home office and I would take the Titan any day.

but I love this chair. I'm a hippy size 16 and feel completely supported in this chair. Absolutely love it.

I use a Branch ergonomic chair at home. It’s good for me. Very customizable, this fucker has like 6 levers and knobs. I wish the seat was just a smidge more comfortable but I’ve had it for a little over a year and no real complaints.

I got the branch ergonomic chair with their headrest a couple months ago. Super comfortable, no complaints besides not being able to fold the armrests away when I want to push my chair under my desk lol

I love my Branch Ergonomic chair, and Steelcase has some really good ones as well.

Branch ergonomic chair - simply put, plastic components everywhere, feels cheap, padding is sub par, and lumbar is atrocious. avoid at all costs.

I just got a Branch ergonomic chair (not ready to make the Herman Miller leap), and I like it a lot!

I bought the Branch Ergonomic Chair (~$400) a few months ago. I like it and it’s comfortable for me but the arm rests feel a little flimsy.

If you look at the lumbar support on the Branch Ergonomic chair for example, It’s literally a 3inch x 7inch piece of plastic junk with hard foam. Chair was cheaply made for $300-$500. Whole thing rattled.

Branch ergonomic chair. A ton of adjustments, super comfortable and not as crazy as a Herman Miller.

Reddit— neutral

It's not bad. It provides decent support but the parts are cheap-ish and I'm always afraid I'm going to break the arm rests if I push down too hard or at a weird angle.

I’d bought a branch ergonomic chair since reviews suggested it was decent value. My back hurt and honestly it was wasted money. I bit the bullet on a new HM Aeron after.

I grabbed a Branch ergonomic chair last year and felt much the same. The plastic adjustment levers creaked under even slight pressure, and the fabric held heat so I’d end up shifting every few minutes.

My chair is the Herman Miller Mirra 2. It's much more expensive than the other, which is a Branch Ergonomic Chair. Both are comfortable but the Mirra more so.

I have had the Branch Ergonomic chair for two years and it’s like new. It’s really good value.

Reddit— neutral

My biggest complaint about the chair is the arm rests. They are somewhat wobbly (likely due to ability for not to extend out to the sides) and extend forward when being raised (see an image for the angle of the arm rest posts).

I just bought a Branch chair for myself and it's extremely comfortable to sit in, was easy to put together, and seems to be made of pretty durable materials.

I would strongly recommend any random $150 office chair over the Branch Ergonomic chair-- this is coming from someone who has had it 2 years, and who has also had shitty rando chairs that are more ergonomic.

Tried the Branch Ergonomic chair and it was terrible. My back hurt so much using that chair, the arms weren’t very stable, it felt unstable in general.

Check out Branch ergonomic chair online. Got one recently and I love it. $330

I use the Branch Ergonomic chair. It is by no means cheap, but it costs less than a Herman Miller.

Branch Ergonomic chair for $330. Amazing comfort for the money. I work 4-10's and sit in it for hours straight (which blows) but I've had it for a while now and it's way better than any of my previous office chairs.

I've had the branch ergonomic chair for 4 years total. I'm on my 2nd one. They are super comfy at first but really wear down after the 1 year mark. I'm looking for another one and will not be buying another branch but I can say it was super comfortable for a while.

I have had a Branch Ergonomic Chair for several months now and I can safely say, I wish I had read the OP's review before spending the money!
