As always, great video! I did a showroom tour and our entire group rolled around the showroom for a half hour. Super fun and unique chair, very versatile. To me, this chair is the perfect multi-purpose, can sit anywhere and perform any task kind of chair. Painting, computer games, art work, arts and crafts, watch shows, doctor's office, you name it, this is the can-do chair. Special thanks to Mark at 9to5 for getting you this chair and giving us all an educational lesson on European style and design. Thanks Ahnestly for the great review and honest, unbiased information on product. It's great to see 3rd party influencers and reviews give us real world input and reviews.

My dad has one of these, and i think the title of the video nails it pretty well. It's a great chair for STANDING DESKS and generally being able to move around, and is probably the healthiest chair to sit in because it forces you to change position... Which sucks if you do any digital work like art or anything where your seating doesn't really change that often. The chair is aimed towards active office spaces, rather than chilling at home. So if you're a gamer or whatever, I wouldn't recommend this chair.

I have this chair aswell, and I can agree. The thing with this chair is: You, and your body, have to get used to it. Ergonomic chairs, most of the time, are designed to support your back, therefore releasing pressure on your muscles and spine by adding lumbar support. But that also means, that your muscles aren't working, while you sit in a correct posture. They don't have to, because the chair does all the work. And this is where the HAG is different. It's design forces your back muscles to be active, by sitting up straight, moving around frequently and not fully supporting them all the way through. The Capisco forces you to sit up straight by yourself and not by just falling into the correct posture. To me, that is the magic about this chair: Your back will build up the required muscles and will enable you to sit up straight for longer times, even without a backrest. The HAG Capisco doesn't support your back, it enables it to support itself. A friend of mine has this chair for over 12 years now, and I've never met somebody, that has stronger back muscles than him (and he doesn't even do sports, at all). That was also the reason, why I got myself a Capsico too. It also comes with a great headrest, that I can only recommend. That all said, I still got myself a Herman Miller Embody aswell, because I too, am too lazy to constantly work on my back muscles. I use the HAG at work now, sitting in it for about 8 hours a day, moving around frequently and I can still focus on my work pretty well (am a software developer). And when I get home, I just fall back into my Embody and forget about even sitting in a chair. I can only recommend this chair, if you are willing to go through some weeks of getting used to it. This chair isn't perfectly comfortable from the start, and it never really will be for people, who just wanna sit for 8 hours straight. It is really different from sitting in a normal chair.

I'm a full time artist and have this chair, and I'd say this is actually a positive point. It supports all different drawing positions to change it up and lessen body aches during long drawing hours :)

Fidgeting is healthy. Even with “good posture,” sitting in the same position all day basically causes repetitive stress injury.

Funny enough I just bought this chair (HAG Capisco) after being indecisive on a more traditional office chair, even after seeing all through your channel and the Blind Guys testing of all the office chairs (absolutely hilarious btw). The chair really does benefit though with the additional foot rest accessories ($90). Gives you yet another additional way to pivot your posture, which is really the reason you get this chair; to let your body do what it wants, so you can concentrate your brain on your desk task. As they say 'the best posture, is your next posture'.

Thanks for all your help navigating this path!

I really like my HÅG chair because I’m smaller and most ergo chair armrests are too far away from my arms/elbows, even if I adjust them. The backrest on this chair allows me to rest my elbows on it, which helps my posture (opens the chest, as opposed to shoulders slumping forward). I like the firm cushion and that I can put my feet on the little rest areas on the chair legs. But it’s not a chair for everybody - my husband greatly prefers his Herman Miller ergo chair.

Hey! Bc I’m constantly reviewing chairs, I don’t always get to do long term testing with a chair, unless it’s a chair I absolutely love and use regularly outside of these reviews. I can say this though - the HAG is such a cool utility chair. You see it time to time in my reviews, bc I love how small, light, and compact it is that I can just roll it over and plop down for my reviews. I use it when I’m building chairs as well (again, just rolling it over and sitting down is so easy and it’s open, so doesn’t get in the way of anything. My recording sessions can take up to 2-3 hours, and I’ll be sitting in the chair for the most part and it feels great. Chair has held up great, but again, I’m not subjecting it to use and abuse daily, so take this with a grain of salt. I will def revisit this chair someday…
