  • PositiveHigh quality
  • Positiveto fit lumbar support
  • NegativeUnusual armrests
  • NegativeOperation not very intuitive

Buyers get the seat and backrest in the usual Recaro quality: the chair is comfortable, offers a lot of support and supports in the right places. However, the manufacturer has skimped on the armrests and the base. But the price and performance are right.
