Ok, I just bought this chair. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but at the very first moment I was amazed by the quality of the packaging and the overall quality of the chair. Spare parts, everything beautifully packaged. For me, the chair is the most beautiful that exists on the market right now, because it is gray and has beautiful lines. The seating is comfortable!! In the reviews, they said that the limber support hits the back, but when I put it all the way down, it doesn’t hit at all. Metal parts – awesome. Lots of settings, especially seat depth. The headrest is also perfect. I am 171cm height. I’ve used an Ikea Markus for a few years, but this is really in a different class. I’m really amazed and happy. Thank you.
Would you say the Steelcase Leap V2 is worth the extra $300 over the Colamy Atlas or Musso Pro? I’m buying two chairs in the next month or so, so I want to make sure I’m getting the right chair.
Been looking for a chair for 1 week refunded a 600ยฃ Herman miller as the price is just stupid but Iโll put my trust into u and purchase this chair
Should I get this over a refurbished steel case amia?
I just bought one of these in June 2025. The Atlas is now called the XK01 for some reason. The instruction manual does use the term Atlas and the chair is identical to the one in this video. It is $313.00 USD including tax on Amazon, as of June 2025.
I like the chair so far. Putting it together was a bit awkward because the seat is heavy and bulky and you can’t lay it flat to put the armrests and back on. But it’s not hard. Pretty solid looking for a mesh chair.
Thanks for the recommendation!
the colamy atlas chair link to amazon shows entirrely different chair for me
The Herman miller Embody for $1800 and the Musso H80 Pro for $500 are both my pics. Iโve tried all the top tears chairs, and Iโve settled on these two.
I bought this chair and I do not recomment. Not an issue with the chair but how the process worked out. No invoice was given, the chair came with a crack near the knob (the box was a mess too, due to their cheap delivery option), and you don’t get a 2 year warranty (which is a standard law in EU).
Ive heard this chair has some issues with tension adjustment for leaning back. Do you have any experience or information about that?
Those of you sick of all the same chairs on these lists, the Musso H80 Pro is by far the best chair out of all of these. I am 6′ 2" 230 lbs. its about $450 and its honestly like the Herman Miller Aeron but i liked it better!
Would you pick this over the Clatina Mellet?
Ticova is $169 right now. This chair is $279. At those prices, which is more worth it?
how tall are you?
Seeing this chair being touted as the king under $300 lately.. sadly, having a hard piece of plastic for lumbar is not selling me. It would have cost them what, 50 cents more to add a pad to it in manufacturing? But they chose not to, not sure why.
Thoughts on this or the Vera? Which is more comfortable?
Well, let’s see how conscientious the author of the video is and whether he will delete this comment or not.
After a month of trying to get used to this chair – nothing works. My lower back hurts unbearably and even a cheap 50 euro chair doesn’t cause this much pain. Beware of Colamy and do not buy this chair in any case. The return for me costs 150 euros shipping (and the chair itself is 239), so I won’t even bother and just throw it away. 0/10
Height 186 cm, weight 94 kilograms
Ohh, so the seat depth adjustment doubles as depth adjustment for the lumbar support.
Folding lawn chair. Done and done. Chairs really be getting up there in price.
Just bought one for ยฃ240. Will be ariving in 5-7 days. I’ve had a DXRacer King series chair for around 8 years and I’ve desperately been needing a new chair but there’s just so many and ugh, it’s a nightmare. I finally decided on the Colamy Atlas and I hope it’s as incredible as many of these reviews have been stating
I am 6’1 but have a long back similar to a 6’4 person. I need a chair that can be adjusted upright so that I am not slouching at my computer and not being too far away from the screen due to wearing reading glasses. Any thoughts or brand recommendations?
how does it compare to an amia?
An advice for everyone who thinks about buying a tilt chair, since i recently bough a tilt chair similar as this, be careful this kind of (swivel/synchro) tilt chair, the chair base titlt up and pushes against the thighs which hurts and causes bad blood circulation in addition the foot gets pulled off the ground when you sit and it back which is not compfortable. Don’t buy a chair without trying it first. Online purchase is not recommended if you did’nt try the chair before.
Which color of the Atlas is in this video. I noticed the links has 3 colors, but they dont look like this one. Is this that gray kinda color?
As a heavier 6′ man, the Musso H80 Pro as a whole might be able to handle 330lbs but the cushion unfortunately can’t take that. My weight varies right now between 295-305 and I bottom out in the chair brand new. I’d honestly say the max weight for the cushion is 250 at most. Everything else about the chair is pretty great especially for the price
All your footage is of you sittind down and instantly launching yourself into the backrest. How about you sit normally and type so I can see what the back support looks like in normal use case…
Just put a thick sock over the back support and arm rest. Wonโt look amazing but definitely an improvement.
Have you tested the South Korean brand Hara Chairs?
Waited for this chair for two weeks. Just received it about three hours ago. Itโs already going back in the box. Very disappointing.
im shocked by how much money chairs cost. getting an office chair for gaming and computing has been a real eye opener.
Why hasn’t your channel reviewed FLEXISPOT ergo chairs like the C7 or C5?
Many reviews I read is that tweed backing doesn’t last which seems like a terrible value. I find it confusing on the contrary how so many reviews recommend this material ๐ฎ.
Yeo forget about the chairs. That’s a $7k desk
Your Staples Hyken chair review was so true I had such bad backpain I had to be bed ridden an entire day with intense pain because I sat down on it too hard, shoots damage directly into the lumbar and tailbone. I switched to a Musso H80 Pro chair and it was mediocre but fine until it wore out. Now I am in some random OfficeMax brand it is the worst chair comfort wise I have ever sat in.

I do like this chair however my only complaint is the seat, It’s really stiff while also being somewhat plush, After a few hours I have an issue with the back/top end of my rear being in pain as it is way too firm. I wish the cushion in the back had more to it like the front does so my rear doesn’t sink into the frame which has been causing some of my pain.
I am 5’6" and around 180 pounds, I bought this chair to help with my posture and it has helped but it has created a compromise for my lower end.
Itโs over $300
My colamy tilt lock broke in 6 months
I am in a situation where price of the atlas and steel case series 1 is same price. For 12 years old boy what would you recommend
I got the ticova for 110euro ๐
Davis Trail
Is there a chair this comfortable that have removable or swivelable arms? I play and record guitar so that will help.
pity, that atlas chair is not available in uk
I dont get it about that gap coming due to leaning back. Its not like you lay like this, right. Its made for upright position
The Atlas chair is made to torture people. I wish the designers and manufacturers of this chair to sit only on it until the end of their days.
UK based – i bought this, came within 4 business days and it’s an amazing chair, easy to build, solid and very comfortable. Regarding the arms issue he mentioned, i just swapped the arms around and it works perfectly to fill that gap.
Awesome breakdown! So many people overlook the importance of a good desk chair, but itโs a game-changer for health and productivity.
Thank you for the review. One request would be add end of video summary graphics. Pros, cons, etc..
Damn, I’m looking for a new chair and I have a hell of a hard time finding anything that fits my requirements. The great ones are way over my budget. The cheaper ones look way too "cheap". I’d like something with good support but also decently looking, not looking like cheap plastic. Not sure what to get. I’m even considering making my own, although that looks like a rabbit hole.
so overall would you reccomend this or the 5188?
i bought the ticova, that chair didnt last any time at all.
