This product was subjected to extensive practical testing. Overall, assembly was smooth and the chair was fully assembled within a few minutes.
When sitting on the chair, good stability was noted, which underlines the initial impression of the high quality of the product components. Even after prolonged sitting, the chair still offers a high level of comfort . In addition to the seat, the armrests are also easily height-adjustable and function well. The footrest can be folded away and the backrest can be folded forward for storage , so that the chair can be placed under tables and stored in a space-saving manner . The castors were found to be stable and robust and to perform their function of rolling across the office floor perfectly.
In practical testing, the product impressed with its ease of use and high level of comfort. The desk chair is not suitable for people under 1.60 m or over 1.90 m, as the seat cannot be lowered far enough.
