Our verdict on each
Autonomous
Autonomous suits home workers fitting out a desk who want a chair and a standing desk from the same seller, and the range stays focused with office chairs and standing desks. The chair takes a user weight up to 145 kg, which suits heavier sitters, though assembly included is listed as no.
COLAMY
COLAMY sells direct from an entity registered in Germany, with chairs from €199.99, free delivery and a 3 year warranty. It suits buyers who know the chair they want, would rather order online than visit a showroom, and want a home office set up quickly.

Pros and cons
Autonomous
Pros
- The lifetime warranty puts Autonomous at 1 of 78 brands on that measure, well above the 5 year median across the site.
- Returns of 30 days match the 30 day median, so the return period is a standard one here rather than a brief one.
- Free delivery applies to the chair and the free delivery threshold is $0, so shipping adds nothing to the entry price.
Cons
- Assembly included is no on the ergonomic chair, so the desk and chair need building after delivery.
- Support runs on email, chat and community, so there is no phone line, and phone support is offered by 68.4% of brands.
- Entry prices sit at 57 of 108 in the price comparison, a middling place for a chair listing.
COLAMY
Pros
- Priced from €199.99 with free delivery and a €0 threshold, so a single chair costs the same as a second one
- Delivery time of 0 weeks, which ranks 1 of 50 brands on speed
- 3 year warranty, level with the office chair category median of 3 years
Cons
- Assembly included is a no, so you put the chair together yourself and the €199.99 entry price covers the chair alone
- The range is office chairs, dining and armchairs, so anyone wanting a sofa or a bed looks at Dublino Moebel instead
- Warranty of 3 years is shorter than the longest terms in the office chair category

Questions about each
Autonomous
What does an office chair from Autonomous cost?+
Office chairs are listed at prices of $299, and the standing desk is the second line in the same office range, so a full workstation can be set up with the same seller. Delivery on the chair is free, which keeps the total at that entry figure rather than adding a shipping charge.
How quickly do orders arrive?+
Delivery is listed in 0 weeks, and free delivery applies, so the chair is not held back by a shipping charge or a long wait. Delivery timing sits at 1 of 50 on the brands compared here.
COLAMY
How much does a COLAMY chair cost?+
Prices start at €199.99 for the range covering office chairs, dining and armchairs. Free delivery is included and the free delivery threshold is €0, so the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. There are no delivery fees and no minimum order value.
Is there a membership or a plan I have to renew?+
COLAMY sells individual pieces rather than subscriptions, so there is no introductory price that later turns into a renewal charge. You pay at the point of order, and the 3 year warranty runs alongside the piece rather than being tied to a plan.
