Assembly

Since this model doesn't include a headrest, the assembly process is slightly simpler than with many other office chairs. We begin by assembling the five-star base, which is somewhat unusual because it doesn't require any tools. Instead, the individual legs simply snap into place. It's an easy process, although I would still recommend taking a quick look at the manual before you start. Once the base is assembled, all that remains is to install the casters and insert the gas lift.

Next, we move on to the seat, which conveniently comes with the tilt mechanism pre-installed. This means the only task here is attaching the armrests using the included screws. It's a straightforward step that doesn't require much effort or adjustment.

After that, it's time to connect the seat to the backrest. Once again, the manufacturer keeps things simple, as no tools are required. The backrest slides directly onto the mounting bracket located behind the seat and locks securely into place. The final step is to place the fully assembled chair onto the gas lift, and that's it—the chair is ready to use. Overall, the entire assembly process is quick, intuitive, and pleasantly uncomplicated, making it one of the easier chairs I've put together recently.

The manufacturer claims that the chair can be assembled in just five minutes. Is that realistic? In theory, yes. The entire process is very straightforward, several components come pre-assembled, and there are only a few steps required before the chair is ready to use. Unless you take your time or stop to admire your handiwork along the way, finishing the assembly in around five minutes is certainly achievable.

So, what stands out at first glance? First and foremost, its size. It's a fairly compact chair that looks like a typical office model, especially since it doesn't include a headrest. Because of that, my first impressions were somewhat mixed, particularly considering my height. On paper, though, it's designed for users up to 190 cm (6'3") tall, which includes me. Whether that actually translates into everyday comfort is something we'll find out later in the review.
Another thing that immediately caught my attention is the extensive use of plastic throughout the construction. At first glance, it doesn't exactly give off a premium impression, although first impressions aren't everything. We'll take a much closer look at the build quality, materials, and every individual component as we continue with the review.
