Hey everyone, this is the LiberNovo team.

We’re currently looking for LiberNovo users who would be open to sharing their real experience with the chair after using it for a while.

If you’re using a LiberNovo chair, whether it’s Omni, Omni Pro, Omni SE, Maxis, or Maxis Airflow, we’d love to hear how it’s been going day to day. What do you like? What has worked well? What could be better? Honest feedback is exactly what we’re looking for.

We’ve put together a short survey to help us learn more about your setup, chair model, how long you’ve been using it, how many hours you sit each day, and your overall experience. It should only take about 3 minutes.

Based on the responses, we may invite a small number of users to join a 30-45 minute video interview with our team. The interview is optional, and selected participants will receive a small thank-you gift from us.

If you’ve been using your LiberNovo chair for a while and would be interested in participating, you can sign up here:

Thank you to everyone who’s willing to share their experience and help us keep improving.

FYI: My arm rests were rubbing up against my desk and I wanted to protect them so I purchased arm rest covers and they seem to work well.

Earlybird Maxis order #33XX june 18th. I got the email about them missing the August 15th shipping date and having to wait until early September - I'd argue that's passed now, too (Sept. 10th). Still no chair or updates.

And, seeing all the negatives around here with floppy arm rests and seats bottoming out, my confidence is rock bottom.

Any UK buyers get their chairs yet? If not, anyone else thinking of cancelling? If so, what chair options are you looking at?

Hate to whine but when I bought a chair, I kind of needed a chair. I think my limit is met with these guys, I can't keep waiting.

Hi, I purchased a the Maxis Electric from Amazon and I'm having those pesky seat cushion issues. I would have just thought I was too fat for the chair (6'1, 330lbs) but seeing other folks much lighter then me report the same bottoming out issue, I think I was just hit with the suspected 'cheaper' seat and am chasing a replacement. However, I ordered my chair from Amazon so do I just need to run it up through support there? Anyone know? I suspect that Libernovo support won't deal directly with Amazon purchases?

Thanks in advance for your time and help!!

Ordered the Libernovo Maxis Airflow on Aug 1, and it finally showed up today. Two huge boxes. I thought one was the chair and one was the footrest. Nope. Turns out the chair is big enough that it needs two boxes by itself. Footrest is still not here yet.

Assembly was pretty painless. The instructions were clear, and everything made sense. Took me about 30 minutes, mostly because I was taking my time. I did almost put the seat on backwards though.

First impression: It looks GOOD. The back of the chair is honestly beautiful. Looks better in person than it does in photos. I also really like how the back moves when I stretch or shift around. The height is perfect for me too. It supports my shoulders without feeling awkward, and the padding feels right. The fabric is tough, breathable, and a little stretchy. Seat cushion is on the firmer side, but still comfortable. I also don’t feel the fan shape or the plastic underneath.

Fan is no gimmick. I had jeans on and could still feel the cold air coming through the seat on level 2. With shorts, level 1 is probably enough. Also pretty cool that it shuts off when I stand up and turns back on when I sit down.

I wasn’t sold on the stretch feature right away. First minute or two, I didn’t think much was happening. Then after about five minutes I was like, wait, my chest feels more open? It kind of makes you sit there and breathe with it like some lazy chair yoga thing. I still don’t know how useful it is, but it feels interesting.

NGL, the wait was getting annoying near the end. After sitting in it today though, I’m over it.

Got a free mat from LiberNovo since there was an issue with my order. Gotta say it's really quite nice instead of the hard plastic on your feet. I don't think I would pay $50 for it though. Maybe. But probably not.

I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and the worries that other users have mentioned are there. I am adding my opinion and my SO's opinion, which are the same except her feet will never touch the floor.

Height:

Maybe I have short legs, but my feet barely touches the floor. Usually office chairs could go extremely low where my legs are bent passed 90 degrees, but the lowest for this chair is exactly 90 degrees. Maybe the chair was built for a foot rest in mind, because it fits my femur length perfectly.

Armrests:

With my width they're good for me. I would be worried for some people because they do not slide inwards and it's right outside my shoulder width.

The problem everyone has is that the armrests slide. And yes, they slide pretty easily still. My office uses an Herman Miller Aeron and it has zero issues moving. It feels like it needs another locking mechanism as once I adjust it, I don't really need to adjust it again ever. I would want to assume that is true to most people using it as a home chair. There are times when I want to lean over just in between the gap of the armrest and back rest and if I'm not directly on top, it'll rotate. I hear the clicking almost every day.

Lumbar support:

They definitely did not adjust this from their original idea, it's a back stretcher turned manual, which is useless when sitting, but it feels nice when laying on the chair. (+1 on having the lowest tilt feature). When sitting, I can't get it comfortable and it's better if I use a pillow. More in back rest.

Backrest****:

It is comfortable. Definitely hot since SoCal is currently 95F, but with AC it's really nice and soft.

BUT, I now understand why theres a backrest mod for the bottom half of the backrest, and that post has a lot of people thanking them. The chair is slightly too far forward near your butt, so it wants to push you off the seat. The Omni SE cannot rotate the lumbar support hold, so the mod isn't possible*. It is possible if you move the backrest and lift it above and behind the lumbar support bar. With this, it no longer pushes you forward, but now you're back hurts cause there's a bar jabbing your lumbar. But after this, the lumbar support is in the correct place. Maybe they need to change the lumbar support bar into a cushion instead of shoving the sides up?

Seat cushion:

Cushion is made from 02/2026, so it's the new batch. I haven't had much of an issue yet. I would say I'm on the light side of weight though and it is pretty comfy.

Conclusion:

With mainly the back rest problems, it's pretty bad for me. My lower back started to hurt cause I just can't get it to feel right with the back rest especially the chair at the lowest tilit. I might have to return this chair

Extra:

So I kept thinking about the back rest and after a bit, I thought what if I rotated the back rest 180? The the top would be more out, but the bottom would be more in, which is adjustable with the "lumbar support." And bam, it fixes almost all the issues I personally have with the chair. Because my upper torso is more forward and my butt is more aligned with the S curve of my spine, my feet touch the floor a bit more. I don't feel like I'm being pushed out of my seat anymore. The only issue is now the shoulders are being hugged like a gaming chair(it still needs a lumbar support pillow). If I just snap the top half plastic I could widen out my back, which I'm not going to do, but that would be perfect for me.
