Assembly

While assembling the subject of this review, I didn't come across any post-production flaws, which is definitely a plus. The included manual is clear and easy to follow, and the whole process—apart from one step—is simple and even enjoyable. As usual, we start with the base, attaching the casters, followed by the gas lift and its cover.


In the next stage, we move on to the seat. First, we install the tilt mechanism, and then attach the armrests. The most demanding part of the assembly is mounting the backrest, which requires a fair amount of force and a bit of patience to make sure everything lines up correctly.


From that point on, however, it's smooth sailing. We connect the assembled seat and backrest to the base and gas lift, then mount the headrest, and that's it—the chair is ready to use. As mentioned earlier, all the necessary tools are included in the box, so there's no need to look for anything extra.

Details

Once assembled, we can already get a sense of where the strengths and weaknesses of the chair lie. First and foremost, it becomes apparent that users with broader shoulders may struggle to find a truly comfortable sitting position. On the other hand, the upholstery and padding are well executed, so there are definitely some positives to highlight here.

At this stage, it's also worth mentioning that—unfortunately—the mechanism isn't the quietest and can produce squeaking noises. Although the chair is officially designed for users up to 185 cm tall, it may still be worth considering if you're slightly taller (at 190 cm, I'd describe it as rather a tight fit). Overall, the chair looks clean and doesn't come across as cheap, but we'll dive deeper into the details in the next section.
