The SitOne impresses with its careful packaging. The cardboard box is sturdy and offers the product sufficient protection during transport. Although unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided, the use of plastic film could possibly be a point of criticism for some consumers. The product packaging contains the individual parts of the office chair as well as an Allen key. An illustrated instruction manual in three languages is also included.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of over €7,000 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products, with most products costing up to €800 . Very affordable products are available from as little as €100. The SitOne from Desktronic is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €269.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
