MayaChair - Ergonomic Chair

5 stars

I was excited to get this chair as I quite enjoy the Sit/Stand desk that I purchased from the Effy earlier in the year. The chair was easy to assemble but quickly began to squeak constantly and makes a considerable amount of noise with any minor movement. As someone who is working from home full-time, I find this extremely annoying. I have been in contact with their support team but have been unable to resolve the issues despite their recommendations. Maybe their other chairs are higher quality but I would stay away from the Maya. You can find comparable options on Amazon or Branch that are higher quality for similar price. The lumbar support and overall configuration is also oddly proportioned and not at all comfortable. Would just prefer my money back at this point.

This chair is very good and comfortable. Delivery was on time. I had some issues in the beginning but those issues were addressed promptly by EFFYDESK team. I strongly recommend this chair.

Pros:
The installation was smooth.
The chair is okay, I am assuming it is somehow supporting my back. I don't have a back problem, so really can't tell.

Cons:
The chair does not reach to the level of my desk, hence my arms are on an angle to my keyboard and mouse. Since the arm rest does not have a cushion, the elbow will start getting sore after awhile.
I had to buy a arm rest cushion separately, to support my elbows and bring it in alignment with my desk height.

The chair is too big for skinny people, therefore the lumbar support is useless and the armrest is too low. I bought the chair because of all the good reviews. Now, I am stuck with the chair because I am required to pay $38 shipping cost to return the chair, even though I want to upgrade to Karma Chair, I am still required to pay the shipping cost to return the chair and EffyDesk is willing to wave the shipping fee for my 2nd order if I am going to purchase the Karma chair. Apparently, "Free Shipping" only applied to the first order. Customers are responsible for shipping costs on return items. I was surprised to learn all these and now I regret the purchase with EffyDesk. Thought I share this here because I don't want other people to go through what I am going through.

First of all, I am apologizing for my previous review. I was able to locate the screws for headrest.
These screws were in some of the packaging instead of in the hardware kit.
I request to include these screws too in the hardware kit.
Next, I still need to know how armrest can be adjusted?

Received my chair today, Assembled most of the parts but when I tried to mount headrest, I didn't see any screws. It seems screws were not included in the hardware kit.
Also, instructions indicates that armrests can be adjusted 70 mm up & down but armrest I received are not adjustable.
Next, there is no label that identify that I have received a correct product. I see only MODEL# 3005H/M on the assembly instructions. I am not sure if i have received a correct product.

Bought this for the wife. Had tried several chairs before from office max, office depot (yes, when it was still separate), Staples. Decided to go with EFFYDESK. Was a little nervous about this purchase initially, but I should say I am very please with it. Was very easy to assemble. Instructions were super easy and clear. Best part was that I could use the box to assemble the back to the metal support which has the hydraulic already mounted on it. Great idea! Overall recommend this chair.

Sent an email regarding assembly and they replied within 10 minutes. I thought that was incredible and had to give respect where its due. Great service guys.

This chair is so comfortable that I felt the need to write this review as soon as I sat down. Already my back feels better, my nerve pain is reduced. I had been sitting on a broken chair for over a year and a half until I noticed the amount of discomfort I was ignoring and pulled the trigger on this. I
