A Breakdown of the Anthros Chair Price

We often get asked, “Why does your chair cost so much?” Typical office/gaming chairs can range a $100 all the way up to over $4000.  Here are some factors to consider when dissecting the different price points of office chairs

Does the product have one-of-a-kind features and components that no other chair offers?

If so, this indicates the company spent considerable time designing and manufacturing the product, with some or all components designed from scratch.

Alternatively, some chairs source components from overseas (mostly China) to bring a low-cost chair to market without unique design features.  The difference in cost between these two extremes can be many hundreds of dollars!

Does the company have any evidence or research to back up the design of their product?

Often, companies hide behind claims of research but have done little to no actual research to validate their specific design.

Can a chair company truly stand behind their claims to improve posture, reduce pain, and maximize comfort?  If the research and evidence is lacking, the investment made into the product is also likely lacking.

Does the chair have any sort of testing certifications like BIFMA or even FDA registration?

This testing can determine a chair’s weight capacity, durability, and even provide evidence that a chair does something different than all others—One such example is an FDA registration as an orthotic device that suggests a chair can improve posture over time.

If a chair is made or assembled in the USA, the quality and cost of this chair are often higher than those sourced from low-cost suppliers overseas.

What type of support will they provide both pre- and post-sale? Most companies provide basic customer support, but do they offer individualized support and resources to make sure all questions and concerns you may have are answered?

Does the company provide transparent information about their origin and their true mission for selling chairs?

Some companies are purely in business to make money while others are looking to not only make a profit but also have a greater mission to help the world sit with better posture, reduce pain and also give back to those in need.
