Is Ergohuman a company, or is it a brand name for something else?

It's a product line, not a company. Multiple current retailer listings name the actual brand owner inconsistently — some list Raynor Marketing, LTD, others The Raynor Group, Inc., and the chairs are sold under the Eurotech brand name with Ergohuman as the specific model line. So a shopper researching this chair runs into three different names (Raynor, Eurotech, Ergohuman) that all point back to the same company, not three separate businesses.

Has Raynor had any office chair recalls?

Yes, two on record with the CPSC. The larger one, CPSC recall 10-013 (announced October 2009), covered roughly 150,000 Quantum Realspace PRO 9000 Series mesh chairs sold exclusively at Office Depot between May 2006 and August 2009 — seatback bolts could loosen and detach, with 33 reported detachments and 14 bump-and-bruise injuries. Raynor Marketing was the importer of record; the CPSC notice names the actual manufacturer as Comfort Office Furniture, LTD (also doing business as Evergood Co., Ltd.) in China. Raynor later agreed to pay a $390,000 civil penalty to settle the CPSC's case over the chairs, while denying the chairs contained a defect that created a substantial product hazard. A second, much smaller 2016 recall (CPSC 16-107) covered about 1,200 Eurotech Lume chairs sold through independent distributors, where the seat could detach from the base — no injuries were reported, and the remedy was a refund.

Does the 2009 recall affect the Realspace chair Office Depot sells today?

No — the recalled Quantum Realspace PRO 9000 Series was a specific mid-2000s product (SKUs 510830 and 690690), discontinued well over a decade ago. Office Depot's current Realspace-branded chair, the Lenzer Mesh High-Back Task Chair covered in our Office Depot office chair guide, is an unrelated current SKU. The recall is relevant here because it's the clearest documented case of Raynor's name appearing behind an Office Depot house brand — the same importer-not-manufacturer pattern this site has traced across nearly every retailer's private label.

What's the Ergohuman warranty, and can you buy one on Amazon?

Multiple authorized-dealer listings describe a limited lifetime warranty on seating components, with upholstery and foam carrying a separate 5-year term. Unlike several brands in this site's retailer/brand series with no direct Amazon presence (IKEA, Allsteel), an Ergohuman chair — the ME8ERG GEN2 High Back Mesh — is listed directly on Amazon.com (sold by a third-party seller, not Amazon itself) at a price matching the specialty-retailer figures in this guide.

Ergohuman Office Chair: One Brand, Three Names, and a Recall History (2026)

Quick Answer: “Ergohuman” is a product line, not a standalone company — it’s sold under the Eurotech brand name, and both are owned and imported by Raynor (listed as Raynor Marketing, LTD on some retailer pages, The Raynor Group, Inc. on others). Current mesh/leather models run $795-$895 street against list prices of $1,728-$1,799 — a 50%+ gap per The Human Solution’s own current pricing. The bigger finding: Raynor’s name is also tied to a 2009 CPSC recall of roughly 150,000 chairs sold under Office Depot’s Realspace brand, the same house brand this site already covers in its Office Depot office chair guide — without that history ever being mentioned there.

Ergohuman has turned up on this site twice before this guide: as the mesh/breathable pick in our 24-hour office chair guide, and as a cited source for tightening-sequence advice in our office chair assembly guide. It’s never had its own review. Here’s who actually sits behind the name, the recall history that connects it to a brand already on this site, and the current lineup.

Three names, one company

Shop for an Ergohuman chair across a handful of specialty office-furniture retailers and the brand name shifts depending on which listing you’re reading. Office Depot’s own product pages (where some Ergohuman chairs are also sold) list the manufacturer as “RAYNOR MARKETING, LTD.” Quill’s listings for the same general chair line name “The Raynor Group, Inc.” instead. Retailer pages describe the actual product line as “Raynor Eurotech Ergohuman” — meaning Eurotech is the registered brand, Ergohuman is the specific chair line under it, and Raynor is the company behind both. A shopper who sees “Eurotech” on one site and “Ergohuman” on another, with no obvious link between them, isn’t finding two competing chairs — it’s the same company under three labels.

The recall that connects back to a brand already on this site

This site’s Office Depot office chair guide covers Realspace, Office Depot’s general furniture house brand, and notes that neither Realspace nor its sister brand WorkPro is built in-house — both are sourced through distributors. That guide didn’t have the full history: in October 2009, the CPSC recalled roughly 150,000 Quantum Realspace PRO 9000 Series mesh chairs (recall 10-013), sold exclusively at Office Depot stores and OfficeDepot.com between May 2006 and August 2009 for about $300-$350. The defect was specific — seatback-attachment bolts could loosen and detach, and Raynor had logged 33 reported detachments and 14 injuries, all described as bumps and bruises. The remedy was a free repair kit, not a refund. Raynor Marketing later agreed to pay a $390,000 civil penalty to settle the CPSC’s case over the chairs, while denying they contained a defect that created a substantial product hazard.

Raynor Marketing was the importer of record on that recall notice — not the manufacturer. The CPSC filing names the actual factory as Comfort Office Furniture, LTD (doing business as Evergood Co., Ltd.) in China. That’s a smaller, more specific version of the same pattern this site keeps finding behind house-brand furniture: the name on the box and the name that built it are rarely the same company.

To be clear about scope: the recalled Quantum Realspace PRO 9000 Series is a discontinued, mid-2000s product, identified by specific SKUs (510830 and 690690). It has no connection to the Realspace Lenzer chair Office Depot sells today beyond sharing a house-brand name under the same original importer. A second, much smaller recall followed in February 2016 — about 1,200 Eurotech Lume chairs, sold through independent distributors like Davies Office and Office Furniture Depot stores, where the seat could detach from the base. No injuries were reported for the Lume recall, and the remedy was a refund rather than a repair.

The current lineup

Model	Best for	Seat material	Street price
ME7ERG-GEN2	Lowest price in the mesh lineup	Full mesh, with headrest	~$795 (list $1,728)
LEM4ERG-GEN2	Mesh back, leather seat	Mesh back / leather seat, with headrest	~$849 (list $1,746)
LE9ERG-GEN2	Full-leather executive build	Leather, with headrest	~$895 (list $1,799)

Ergohuman ME7ERG-GEN2

Lowest price in the lineup · Full mesh · Headrest included

Full mesh back and seat, which puts it in the same breathability category our 24-hour office chair guide already picked it for — a genuine fit for warm, multi-shift environments.
Synchro-tilt mechanism with independent seat height, seat depth, back height, back angle, and arm height adjustment — a fuller adjustment set than most chairs in this site's under-$300 tier.
List price around $1,728 against a street price close to $795 per current specialty-retailer listings — treat the list figure as a reference number, not what anyone actually pays.

Ergohuman LEM4ERG-GEN2

Mesh back, leather seat · Headrest included · 250 lb rated

Splits the difference between mesh and leather — a ventilated mesh back with a cushioned leather seat pan, plus the same full adjustment set as the ME7ERG.
Rated to 250 lb per the manufacturer's own published spec, a figure worth flagging against this guide's own weight-capacity call-outs elsewhere on the site for anyone shopping a plus-size fit.
Street price around $849 against a $1,746 list — roughly the same 50%+ gap as the rest of the lineup.

Ergohuman LE9ERG-GEN2

Full leather · Executive build · Headrest included

The top of the current three-chair lineup, built entirely in leather rather than mixing in mesh — the pick for an executive-office look over a task-chair one.
Same core synchro-tilt adjustment set as the rest of the Ergohuman line, carried over into a heavier, more cushioned build.
Highest street price in the lineup at around $895, against a list price close to $1,799.

Warranty and buying it directly on Amazon

Multiple authorized-dealer listings describe Ergohuman’s warranty as a limited lifetime term on seating components, with upholstery and foam carrying a separate 5-year term — a structure similar to several other brand warranties this site has already documented, where the headline “lifetime” language doesn’t extend to wear items.

Unlike a few brands in this site’s retailer/brand series with no direct consumer listing on Amazon (IKEA deliberately doesn’t sell there at all; Allsteel is dealer-quote-only), an Ergohuman chair is listed directly on Amazon.com: the ME8ERG GEN2 High Back Mesh, sold by a third-party seller rather than Amazon itself, at $775 — in line with the specialty-retailer pricing documented throughout this guide rather than a markup.

Who should buy which Ergohuman chair

Buy the ME7ERG-GEN2 if you want the lowest entry price in the lineup and don’t need leather anywhere on the chair.
Buy the LEM4ERG-GEN2 if you want a cushioned leather seat without giving up a mesh back for airflow.
Buy the LE9ERG-GEN2 if you want a full-leather executive look and are willing to pay the top of the lineup’s price range for it.
Price-shop before buying any of them — the gap between list and street price runs 50%+ across every model checked for this guide, the same reference-pricing pattern this site has already documented on Staples’ and Humanscale’s private-label lines.

The bottom line

Ergohuman’s two prior mentions on this site — a 24-hour-chair pick and an assembly-advice citation — never explained who actually makes it or why the name changes depending on which retailer’s page you’re reading. Raynor, Eurotech, and Ergohuman are one company under three labels, and that same importer’s name sits behind a 2009 CPSC recall of 150,000 Office Depot Realspace chairs — a direct, previously undisclosed connection to a house brand this site already covers. The current three-chair lineup (ME7ERG, LEM4ERG, LE9ERG) runs $795-$895 at street price against list prices north of $1,700, available either through specialty office-furniture retailers or directly on Amazon.
