I unfortunately have no experience with these chairs

I don’t know it either. It looks pretty nice though.

Well, it’s got a 5 year warranty, and they’re giving me a discount, so I’m gonna go for it.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I’ll let you know how I find it when I get it.

I have exactly that chair at our office, minus the headrest, and I brought one home for my WFH setup. I like it, it’s great, the only problem I have is that I tend to get tension in my neck. Though I don’t think that is related to chair but more screen height. I find when sitting in the chair I don’t suffer with my lower back like I do when working on the couch.

So I’ve had my Karo Alula for a couple weeks now. Delivery was fast, so props to their choice of courier.

Took my a few days to figure out how bad I was slouching. I usually have it locked in upright, but right now I’m at a slight incline. I have to say I love the headrest. The multi-adjust armrests come in really handy (well… armey) depending how I’m sitting at my desk. I would have preferred the "4D’ kind I saw on other chairs, but I don’t regret the purchase at all.

I’m sure this will help with my posture. Now if only I could get something like this for the office…

Just an update about the chair I got from Karo.

The Alula, now discontinued, wasn’t really supporting my weight and the backrest was leaning back too far. They replaced the gas cartridge and the mechanism free of charge, but it didn’t help. They sent me a new chair. It was a different model, but I am very happy with it.

I have to say their 5 year warranty is legit. Their customer service is top notch. I can highly recommend the company.

Thought i would do a bit of resurrection of this thread for anyone looking at getting a new chair and wanting to splurge.

I recently got given this chair for my birthday as my last makro bought chair was no longer sufficient given the amount of hours i spent on a pc chair and it was on its last legs. Old age has been catching on and my back was killing me from the improper form from the cheapy chair i had previously.

I can honestly say this is the absolute best chair i have ever sat and worked on. I went for the non-mesh version so that i could also discourage my kitties from claiming my chair as it was a constant fight in who claimed the chair first thing in the morning :rofl:

The price is on the extreme side but I just cannot tell you how great this chair has been. Also on the delivery of the chair it was set up for me and i did not have to lift a finger to put the chair together.

Mottamort casts raise dead thread
So my Makro leather (yea calling BS on that one) office chair I bought many moons ago is finally becoming tattered and the tilt lock snapped a few years ago. You guys seem to be singing praises of Karo.co.za
I’m a tall boi and looking at getting this one: https://karo.co.za/product/orthoair-orthopedic-chair/
Those of you with Karo products, still giving them thumbs up years later?
@murfle, cant see who else specifically mentioned them

Ya, got mine in 2021 or 2022 I think. Had a problem with it, and they sent me another one. Was a different model since the one I initially ordered got discontinued, and it hasn’t been a problem at all. Great chair, great company.

Had mine for 3 years now, no problems, still going strong. Most makro/game chairs I have had in the past go bust in some way by year 1.
