I just got my ErgoChair in the first week of January after ordering it sometime around the end of October - right after it got removed from Kickstarter.

It's not as comfortable (less cushion) as my old $140 generic "manager" chair from amazon, but the finer grained adjustments and improved back support are a welcome upgrade. After about two weeks in the chair, I'm pretty happy with it. I never thought I'd appreciate a headrest, but it's great when watching longer videos. I wish the seat raised about 3-4 inches higher (I'm 6'6"). That old "manager" chair allowed a slightly higher seat, which I definitely preferred.

I also bought one of their sit/stand desks last year. I absolutely love it. I plan to get two more after I move next month.

I've always wanted to try one of the fancier adjustable chairs out there, but I can't seem to bring myself to spend that much on a chair. Both the desk and the chair are far less expensive than their respective competitors and are of better-than good-enough quality that I'm very happy with both purchases.

The only annoyance I've had with both have been exceptionally long shipping times (multiple months). When I emailed them about it, they were quick to respond with the approximate timeframe for shipping. That said, I recommended the desk to my mother a few months ago (a couple months after I got mine) and she got hers within a couple weeks.
