SIHOO M57 Ergo Chair review: who should pay for the adjustments?
The SIHOO M57 Ergo Chair is a substantial upgrade to consider if your workday means staying at one desk for long stretches. The exact version covered here is black, without the optional footrest, with SIHOO Malaysia’s three-year full-body warranty. Its current official price is RM949.00 (SIHOO Malaysia, Black / No Footrest, checked 2026-09-30). That is a serious chair budget, so the useful question is not whether “ergonomic” sounds good; it is whether you will adjust and use the parts this model provides.
Before buying on Shopee, check the exact model or variant, seller, delivered total and applicable warranty.

The M57’s case rests on fit rather than a single headline feature: the headrest adjusts in two ways, the armrests in three, and the lumbar support can move in height and depth. A mesh back and seat are intended to keep the contact surface ventilated. This gives a desk worker several points to tune, but it does not make posture automatic or guarantee comfort for every body shape. Treat the adjustment range as the reason to consider it, not as medical proof or a promise that pain will disappear.
What the Malaysia model actually includes
SIHOO Malaysia lists a multi-functional reclining mechanism with tilt lock, a polished aluminium base, TUV-3 chrome gas lift, PU castors and a stated weight capacity of 150 kg. The selected black/no-footrest variant is listed at RM949 with three years of full-body warranty; the product page also offers a footrest version at a higher current price. The manufacturer describes the chair as BIFMA-certified and calls the cushion breathable mesh. Those are manufacturer specifications, not results from a hands-on test.
That equipment makes sense for someone who wants more control than a fixed-back task chair: set the lumbar position first, then tune the arm height and angle to the desk, and use the tilt lock for a stable upright task posture. The headrest may matter during reclined breaks; it is not a substitute for setting the screen and desk correctly. If you mostly sit for short sessions, already have a chair that fits, or will leave every adjustment untouched, the M57 can be expensive unused flexibility.
Pros
- Three-axis armrest adjustment gives more ways to align forearms with a desk than a basic fixed arm.
- Height-and-depth lumbar adjustment is a meaningful fit control rather than a decorative extra.
- Mesh on the back and cushion, plus the reclining/tilt-lock mechanism, suits buyers who value airflow and a change of posture.
- The Malaysia page names a three-year full-body warranty for the selected variant and gives a stated capacity of 150 kg.
Cons
- RM949 is costly if you will not use the adjustments; this is not a casual impulse purchase.
- The footrest is not included in the reviewed version; adding it increases the official listed price.
- Adjustment count does not guarantee a fit. Seat height, desk clearance, arm position and the shape of the lumbar support still need to suit you.
- A catalogue specification cannot establish long-term comfort, mesh feel or after-sales response in your own home.
Malaysia buying and warranty checks
Buy from the SIHOO Malaysia page or confirm that a Shopee seller is supplying the same M57 version and the Malaysia-backed three-year full-body warranty. The selected version should read Black / No Footrest; the product page separates it from Black / With Footrest, so do not compare their prices as if they were identical bundles. Save the invoice and the warranty description attached to the order. Before checkout, confirm delivery to your postcode, assembly arrangements, the return window and who handles a warranty claim. Those details can differ by seller even when the model name matches.
For a Kuching buyer, check the delivery and return terms for your actual address rather than assuming a West Malaysia offer includes identical service in Sarawak. Also measure the desk space and confirm the chair can move freely around it. The official M57 listing and Shopee Malaysia listing establish local availability, but stock, vouchers and delivery charges can change; compare the final checkout total on the day you buy.
Who should buy it — and who should skip it?
Choose the SIHOO M57 Ergo Chair if you work at one desk most days, want independently adjustable lumbar and arm support, and will spend time tuning the chair to your body and desk. It is also a reasonable shortlist option if mesh contact surfaces and a recline lock are priorities and the official three-year warranty matters to you.
Skip it if your seating is occasional, you cannot adjust the surrounding desk setup, or you expect a premium label to correct an unsuitable workstation by itself. If possible, try the chair before committing; a list of adjustments cannot tell you how the seat edge or lumbar curve will feel after several hours. Do not pay for the footrest variant unless you actually want that extra feature.
Verdict
The SIHOO M57 Ergo Chair is worth considering for a regular desk worker who will actively use its adjustment range. At the current official RM949 for the black, no-footrest version, the purchase is justified by fit controls, breathable mesh and a clearly stated three-year full-body warranty—not by an assumption that one chair suits everyone. My recommendation is a conditional yes: confirm the exact variant, try the support if possible, and check Sarawak delivery and warranty handling before paying. If you want a chair that needs no fitting or your desk use is light, save the money.
Common questions
Does the RM949 model include a footrest? No. The official listing identifies the RM949 version as Black / No Footrest; a footrest version is listed separately at a higher price.
What warranty is shown for this version? SIHOO Malaysia lists three years of full-body warranty. Keep the order record and confirm claim steps with the seller before buying.
Is this a tested comfort rating? No. The recommendation is based on the manufacturer’s stated construction and adjustment features, not a claimed personal trial. Fit varies, so the user should check the chair against their desk and body.
