The office chair was subjected to extensive practical testing.
In terms of stability, it was found that the chair is stable and secure, even on a wide variety of floors and surfaces .
The chair’s height adjustment works smoothly and is infinitely variable, allowing it to be adjusted to suit individual body sizes.
The lumbar cushion impressed with its massage function: it offers a high level of comfort and the massage is steady and soothing, meaning it can be used for long periods of time.
Overall, both the seat and the lumbar cushion offer a high level of seating comfort. Even during longer periods of sitting, for example while gaming, the chair is very comfortable.
The ergonomics of the chair are entirely convincing, but in terms of the product’s dimensions, it is noticeable that the chair is only suitable for very small people ( under 1.60 meters) to a limited extent, as the headrest, for example, cannot be used optimally.
This product impressed in practical testing with its simple assembly, high seating comfort, and high-quality components.
