OK, they are vastly over engineered.
They cost way too much, probably.
But I am liking these new office chairs.
They have a five-page handbook on how to use and adjust them. Then loads more pages in foreign.
You want to know how much you can adjust them.
You can alter the width and height of the armrests and move them in and out so that they can hold you into your seat. This is obviously in case the office encounters some severe turbulence.
You can adjust the amount of tilt in the chair, deciding exactly how far back it can go.
You can also adjust how stiff the resistance in this tilt is, ranging from you sitting down and nearly falling straight off the back of it or getting catapulted across the desk and out the window.
You can move the “Lumbar support bar” up and down the back of the chair so it does its work wherever you feel it necessary AND adjust the amount of support it provides.
And the most odd bit, you can change the angle of the front edge of the seat so it does not dig into your legs – you just click a button and bend the edge of the seat to how you want it, release the button and it stays put.
Makes a nice change from the slightly stained and variously coloured mismatched chairs that used to be prevalent in this building.
Good to know the “profits” are being spent on worthwhile things though.
I’d prefer it if they sorted out the god awful toilets here first.
