Ergohuman High Back Swivel Chair ME7ERG Review 2025

Are you in the market for a new office chair? 

Have the current options you’ve been considering all left you wanting?  

If you answered yes to either of those questions, then the Ergohuman High Back Swivel Chair might be just what you’ve been looking for.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem very different, so you might wonder why you’d want to pay a premium for a chair that looks very similar to many of the lower-priced contenders you may have already evaluated.

Read this review, however, and you’ll change your mind. Sure, the Ergohuman Chair ME7ERG is more expensive, but this is a case of getting what you pay for. The simple truth is that Ergohuman chairs have two features that few if any, other chairs on the market can match.

Are you intrigued? If so, keep reading! In the following review sections, we’ll discuss everything this fantastic chair can do!

Key Features of the Ergohuman High Back Swivel Chair

The first thing you’ll notice about the Ergohuman High Back Swivel Chair is that it looks vaguely futuristic. It’s not unattractive, which is a pleasant surprise, given that most mesh chairs struggle with aesthetics. However, its segmented seatback gives it that futuristic look, so there’s no hiding or disguising it, which may make it a bit harder for this model to blend well with some home décor schemes.

Chair Specifications

Regarding basic stats, here’s what you’re looking at:

Available Colors

You can also order this chair in a modest selection of colors, including:

The three biggest things to note about the above are as follows:

Adjustability and Comfort

The Ergohuman High Back Swivel Chair is delightfully adjustable and equipped with well-implemented ergonomic features that enhance its overall comfort.

Here, you’ll find:

This trio of features makes the Ergohuman another great option for ergonomic chairs for sciatica sufferers.

Height Adjustable Armrests

In addition, although the armrests are not ergonomically designed, they swivel approximately 45 degrees in either direction and are height-adjustable.

Recline Function

The chair also offers a three-position tilt and lock function, reclining to 110 or 135 degrees (the third position is its ability to lock at a 90-degree angle).

Lifetime Warranty and Highly Customizable

These features would make an exceptional chair design, but you should know two more things.

You can, for instance, order your chair with a standalone ottoman that can double as a low work table or with an articulated arm that can be attached to one of the chair arms and contains a platform big enough to hold your laptop. 

Both of these enhancements were designed with one goal:  To allow you to work your way, and the implementation is brilliant. Those who don’t want or need the enhanced features won’t order them.

Does Not Come Assembled

While it’s true that none of the chairs Ergohuman makes will arrive at your door assembled, we’d say here in our Ergohuman Chair Me7erg review that the company does an excellent job on this front. The High Back Swivel Chair only consists of a few pieces that can be snapped or screwed together in a matter of minutes. 

It will probably take you as long to get the chair out of the box and separate and sort the pieces as it will to put the thing together. Expect it to take no more than twenty minutes.

Note that adding a helper to the equation isn’t likely to net you much of a decrease – it may shave five minutes off of the total build time, but this is one of the few chairs that’s really easy to put together on your own (mostly owing to the segmented design of the seatback).

Pros & Cons of Ergohuman High Back Swivel Chair

We like almost everything about the ME7ERG chair, and although it didn’t earn a perfect score from us, we regard it as an incredibly strong design. Granted, it’s not what you’d call beautiful, and more plush and comfortable chairs are available. Still, if you like mesh chairs and are looking for something almost endlessly customizable, it’s hard not to fall in love with this model.

Add in the fact that all Ergohuman models come with a lifetime warranty, and this one might be the last chair you’ll ever own. 

Yes, it’s expensive, but if you factor in the cost of all the office chairs you’d buy over the course of your life (assuming you went with some other brand that didn’t offer a lifetime warranty), Ergohuman offers excellent value. You’re merely front-loading the costs.

There are two minor tweaks we’d love to see in the design:

The chair is already exceptional for long-duration seating, but this would make it even better. Best of all, neither of these additions would increase the total cost of the chair tremendously.

Ergohuman Chair ME7ERG Review Conclusion

Ergohuman is a great company that makes next-level chairs. The Ergohuman Chair ME7ERG is certainly no exception. It’s versatile, surprisingly comfortable, and amazingly adjustable.

We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great chair optimized for and able to withstand the rigors of heavy daily use. This model belongs on your shortlist.
