The Asus ROG Destrier is actually good… 

​@SJET79 I'm just curious, what office chairs do you have at your workplace?

​@@ScottiPewPewthere's a reason Herman Miller has a 12 year warranty.

​@@ScottiPewPewthe main question is whether the cloth will last. That's only something that time can tell, though a longer warranty from a manufacturer gives more confidence that this is the case.

Not necessarily if you actually read through their warranties, what they actually cover it's scary how non existent it is. For instance 12 year herman miller warranty does not cover wear and tear, at 12 years that would probably be the one thing you want to be covered. So warranties over 5 years are just false advertising imo. What they replace is entirely at their discretion, so I no longer look at advertised warranties when facturing in price of a chair. The real warranties of the chair are much shorter. The HM for example is close to 5 years I believe, as that's when certain parts expire. However, no I've heard replacement parts for the rog are non-existent basically, so that's what's preventing me from buying it. I have no worries of it's quality from I've seen, the reason the warranty is so low, at least why I think it is so low, is because Asus is new to the chair market, they don't even know how long this chair is supposed to last even with high quality materials. There may be a desgin flaw somehwere. Compare that to HM aeron that been on the market since before I was born probably, they know exactly how long their chairs last. That's not really something you can test in house. I suspect the successor to this chair will be much more expensive and have a longer warranty once they know 100% it lasts. But durability aside what this chair offers is a steal compared to other chairs. A high quality ergo mesh chair with included headrest that isn't dog water and can recline. I want to buy it so badly, but no replacement parts is why I'm on the fence. In my experience though most problems with a chair occur in the first 30 days, so I may order from Amazon and take the risk.

Same here. I've had Steelcase + Titan and this is 1000x better than them both lol

Do you already have it? How is the width of the armrests. Because not being able to change the horizontal position is bothering me pretty much.

About to say this, is crazy that price tag and that warranty, they probably not giving more time for a reason.

After multiple support debacles with ASUS I would personally never trust one of their products, especially if it comes with a short warranty.

@@FcoEnriquePerez in my region of the globe, it’s a 24month warranty. In this chairs case, warranty is supplied by the appropriate distributor. The margin on the chair will be small, and so the time frame of warranty reflects this small distributor warranty, I would suggest.

Ok so I ended up getting this chair, and I love it sooooo much! Chair is an absolute literal game changer! I found it at my local Micro center and couldn’t help it. The manager came out and wanted to meet me and he said that he’s never sold one of these chairs before due to the price. People seem to steer away from it, not me I saw love at first sight. It’s funny because I’m sitting in it now and that mesh stuff is cool and comfortable but I feel like I can’t get cuddly like I usually do in other chairs. But it is a very comfortable chair

that's a very good point

How is it going bro until now? Would It work for many hours sitting in it?

@XASMATV. definitely. I'm a developer, and I'm working at home 2 days/week sitting on it, and this chair is great. Less comfy than the Omega, but apart from that, it's way better, imho, at least for the back and shoulders.

@@tinbapakk first of all, thank you for responding! you're the real hero here. 2nd and last question, since herman and steelcase is not available in my country, do you believe that the asus destrier should be my after choice? im a streamer that streams from 4 to 11 hours usually, and my previous chair is gaming-race type. only the Asus Destrier is available in my country

@@XASMATV. I can't tell about Herman or Steelcase since I've never tried their chairs (and they're quite expensive too). Like I said, I was coming from a Secretlab Omega that I used for about 2 years. It was very comfy, BUT: - the back support was really shallow, almost useless - the racing shape actually sucks, and worsened a shoulder trouble for me Like I said, I'm a developer, and I used this chair pretty much all the time at home (first during COVID, and after when working from home 2-3 days/week, and occasionally while gaming). When I had my shoulder issue, my physiotherapist asked me lots of questions about my working environment. When she saw the chair, she asked me to replace it because its shape pushes the shoulders toward the front, and it's not a good position. She thought that my chair was responsible for about 1/3 of my shoulder issue. That's when I bought the ROG Destrier, which shape she approved. It's not as comfy as the Secretlab since it's not cushions but mesh, and the back tilt is not as permissive as the Secretlab. But apart from that, it's a great chair, and way better for my back and shoulders. And I work sitting on it multiple hours/days when I work from home, so yeah, it's a great choice for me, especially for its price (Herman Miller and all the other ones are way more expensive)

I'm doing the same, I would happily pay twice the price but seems leap v2 is literally the best, above the gesture and all else

What is wrong with the Titan evo? Currently i am thinking of getting one

@@GmHomer where to start...the chair was hard as a rock; the so called lumbar support was a total joke, and it totally screwed up my back. Just about the only things I liked about it was how spacious it was, and the aesthetics. If you value style over substance or comfortable seating, then feel free to pull the trigger on one.

@@GmHomerwell I have one, it’s good but it’s also not good, I did decide to save money and not buy an expensive chair, and 500$ was already feeling but a lot for me so I thought I will get it. At first, coming from a shitty gt racing chair Secret lab was amazing, build quality comfort,amount of space I have. Then you start noticing things, like armrests being hard as fuck, sitting area also is hard, that hard that I can not sit in it for more then 20 minutes without changing a position because my ass starts getting numb and hurt💀 The back is absolutely unusable, I pretty much never sit it it falling on the back, lamb bar support is useless, in the end I found myself looking for a herman miller sayl (because I am a short king 175cm), or haworth zody or fern (probably leaning towards haworth because they have a showroom in my city so I can go and at least try them)

Used Steelcase Leap v2 is the way to go really.

Oh wow, yea that's a good deal! -Ryan

Yea there are a few. Mirra2 also has it. We have only seen it on a few chairs out of the hundreds we reviewed. -Ryan

The ticova was $140 Lmao what are you spewing

@@newbtuber333 he's saying that those were the two options below his budget so he went with this one.

How did you get it for $500?

@@fartmachine5000 I see I misunderstood lol but still ~$150 to $500 quote the spread. Also this chair is like a grand so I’d like to know how he got it cheap too

That’s amazing. How did you get it for $500?

We are currently working on our first impressions video for the Fujin Pro! It will be out in a couple weeks. - RG

Worth a shot if it is $500 vs $899 -Greg

$2000?! Better be good for that price!

What does it even mean? Lol

A medieval knights warhorse. From Latin to old French to Middle English.

Facts.

Neither does it compare on price. In my region, it has a 24month warranty, and is less than 1/3 the price of an embody.

​@SJET79 Yet, it would last far longer than the Destrier and could even be resold on the used chair market. Low price means absolutely nothing when the warranty is garbage, and the chair has no resale value. I'm sure the Destrier is a great chair, but I see no reason to ever buy one unless you can't afford better chairs immediately or prefer the comfort of it over significantly better ergonomic chairs.

@@StardustLegacyFighter “Better” infers value. Value, is subjective. You value resale value (or potential resale value) and warranty length. I value the comfort and value for money (capital investment). Very differing values, so what we find “better” is vastly different. I do find the Destrier supremely comfortable. Better? Depends what you value 😉

​@SJET79 I agree with what you're saying, but it seems our philosophies differ greatly. I consider a high end office chair as an investment for my back health, hence why I overlook the price tag, as my health is far more important than "value for money". At the end of the day, I hope we can at least agree that either of these chairs will serve us better than those crappy racing seats like the Secretcrap Titan. 😂

Curious how you came up with that price range. -Ryan

@@btodtv normal office chairs from your typical office store like staples or IKEA in the US sell between 100-500. The same goes for typical gaming chairs. And then the high end are your herman millers, steelcase, etc which are around 1k+. The Asus is not at that premium tier in terms of build quality , materials, mechanics and warranty, but I feel the Asus is approaching comfort, ergonomics, abilities and specs that are beginning to approach the high end, which makes me think of it as something above your run of the mill office chairs from Ikea or office stores. Definitely more adjustable than your typical gaming chairs as well. I would say something like 649.99 makes sense.ive tried the Asus myself but also own an embody and an aeron but have also owned the IKEA high end and normal office chairs. My favorite chair remains the embody because nothing handles my lower back like this chair and I have the added headrest from atlas.

Agreed.

Not even in the same ball park. Completely different. This chair makes the ikea chair look like a three legged stool.

Might as well spring a bit further for the Herman Miller stuff at that point.

It's midrange by reference. Kind of like 200 bucks is cheap for audio gear.

because fans exist

Depends on the quality of the mesh. Even foam seats will slightly sag over time.

Yea, major downside. Kind of a bummer because the chair is pretty good. -Ryan

Sadly, some ppl never grow up.

That's nothing.

It makes for viral content.

Based on what? -Greg

Which companies are those? -Ryan

why would you even think about anything else if you have embody lmao

Of course it looks trash, you have a $2000 chair.

If you already have an embody, why would you even watch this or think about any other chair?

​@@CHEEBnRUNas a very recent embody owner I'd say because my legs are currently numb and my back hurts!!

I’ll be taking delivery of my Destrier today. In Australia (where I am located) this is delivered, including taxes, for $1099AUD and includes 2 year warranty. That puts it at around $695USD with currency conversion. I’ll come back and edit this comment after delivery and assembly. If you compare it to an embody gaming chair, you are not comparing the same price bracket of chairs, and for the price (in my location) it is very reasonable. Embody gaming chair in Australia is $3000AUD not including delivery fees (triple price of Destrier). I hope the Destrier lives up to the hype.

Budget.

Herman Miller are expensive as fuck

I can see how people would have that opinion. It feels nicer in person than I was expecting from the pictures and videos I had seen. -Ryan

On screen, maybe. In person, you can see why it has a higher price.
