To each his own, but the Branch Ergonomic is the most uncomfortable chair I've ever sat in. It's almost entirely plastic and the lumbar support isn't rigid enough to provide any support. The worst part is they have a 30 DAY return policy. By the time I had used the chair long enough to make an assessment, I was stuck with it.

That's what makes it so ergonomic. It's so uncomfortable that you'd rather stand than sit in it.

Yeah YMMV I guess. I bought one for a friend who has back problems with a lot of chairs and they have loved it for several years now.
