Test result preview
The Montreal desk chair from Juskys is a sporty and elegant desk chair, ideal for the office, study or children’s and teenagers’ rooms. With its faux leather and mesh fabric cover and modern racing design, the chair offers not only aesthetic but also functional benefits.
The thick, soft upholstery and padded armrests ensure a high level of seating comfort. In addition, the ergonomic shape with tilting backrest supports a back-friendly sitting posture. The height adjustment from 46 to 56 cm and the load capacity of up to 120 kg make the chair flexible and robust.
While our test confirmed the stable properties and high level of comfort, we found that the headrests are not optimally positioned for people over 1.68 metres. Overall, the Montreal impresses with its functionality, but has minor weaknesses in terms of ergonomics.
Advantages
- Sporty design
- Height adjustability
- Stable and robust
- 9 different designs
Disadvantages
- Ergonomics suboptimal for taller people
- Limited tilt function of the backrest

*Themaximum score is 100 points
The Montreal desk chair was thoroughly tested and the manufacturer’s advertising promises were largely confirmed.
All parts were present and the assembly instructions were easy to understand.
Assembly went smoothly and the chair proved to be stable and safe.
The seating comfort was predominantly high, even if there were occasional slight pressure points and signs of fatigue. The headrest was too low, especially for a 1.68 m tall person, which can lead to an uncomfortable feeling between the shoulder blades.
The mechanism worked perfectly and the height adjustment could be made precisely . The mechanism for adjusting the backrest worked reliably for the most part, although occasionally with slight difficulties.
The seat was ergonomically very well designed. It provided optimum support for the lower back and effectively prevented pressure points. It offers a high level of comfort.
Overall, the Montreal desk chair from Juskys offers a solid performance and is a good choice for shorter people in particular. However, the ergonomic settings could be optimised for taller people.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. One common criticism is that the headrest presses into the shoulder area of taller people. Many customers like the good build quality, the simple assembly and the high level of seating comfort. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the stability and assembly were good, while the ergonomics for taller people and the tilt function of the backrest were not so good.
Prices of up to €569.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €59.99 . The Montreal desk chair from Juskys is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €74.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
