    Price performance rather insufficient

    Price performance is not enough in my opinion.

    The chair has many good features, such as the height-adjustable armrests, the neck and back cushions and the enormous tilt angle. However, it is too narrow for wider people     like me.

    + The workmanship of the seat and backrest looks very good.
    + The upholstery is well done, not too soft and not too hard.
    + Armrests are height adjustable.
    + Chair legs look very sturdy

    - Unfortunately, the back cushion cannot be fastened (an elastic band would have sufficed), so you have to fumble it back into the right position every time after leaning forward.
    - The neck cushion has an elastic band, but a button and some buttonholes would have helped to position the neck cushion better. At the moment, it can only be used as a pillow at the top of the backrest, even though there are two perfectly placed holes in the backrest.
    - The material used for the side covers of the chair is not only inferior but also dangerous (danger of cutting). Some of the plastic is so sharp-edged that you can easily injure yourself. To be honest, I also have doubts about how long the imitation leather on the seat and backrest will withstand this stress.
    -In general, all the plastic covers not only look like a 20.00 CHF chair, but are also processed in the same way in terms of fit and bending.
    - Armrests wobble. This is not so wrong for mouse movements, but I hardly believe that this was intended because of the wobbling noise. If this is supposed to be a feature, it was implemented extremely cheaply.


    My conclusion. For the price of over 300 CHF, I expect more quality. If you want to play in the upper mid-range segment, the workmanship of all the materials used should also be right.

    I assembled it without following the instructions....

    I managed to assemble it without any instructions - most of the screws are already in the right place where you have to screw them in. The 2 Allen keys needed are also included. When assembling the one side cover, there was no hole made in the fabric above it and I had to help a little. I just kind of miss the whirring noise that the old chair made. I only hope that my car is big enough because the chair definitely has to come to the next Lan party.

    Well, style but certainly not quality workmanship but still comfortable

    Comfortable but poorly made. About a month in use, and the chair is really comfortable for me (1.86m and 78kg). Unfortunately, when assembling the chair, it quickly became clear that the quality was not really good, because the plastic covers do not fit the shape of the chair at all and are either very bent when you screw them on properly, or do not cover properly. I also had to cut a hole for a screw with a knife when assembling the chair because the leather did not have the appropriate hole. Fortunately, the thread was still under the leather.

    May last 1-2 years, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have to buy another chair if the seating comfort decreases due to the possible lack of longevity of the upholstery.Seams are also a joke and not neatly finished at the edges of the "wings", but rather placed in the middle.     

    Pro

    • Appearance
    • Pillow
    • You can lie very flat to the back

    Contra

    • Seams
    • Missing holes for the screws in the leather
    • Cheap supplied aluminium tool flakes off and "crumbles".
