I am a heavy gentleman, and finding an affordable chair to suit my weight has been a struggle. SONGMICS come along with a great looking range of office chairs that are achieveing sensible reviews. So I order the SONGMICS Executive Office Chair OBG21BUK hoping for good results.
The chair turns up quickly and well packaged and I proceed to build the item. The build is very straight forward with good clear instructons and the tools you need to build the chair to completion (and spare parts too!!).
Now for the sitting test, and OH NO, straght away I see the chair has fallen afoul that which seems to aflict most "new" office chairs. The seat base feels tilted forward causing the user to feel constantly like they will slide down, and eventually off, the seat itself. The tilt also means that the back is not supported by the large full height back rest which results in back pain after a short use. ***Thus making the chair uncomfortable and not fit for purpose**
Why chair manufacturers decide to put this forward lean onto their office chairs these days i will never know. And whilst the chair can tilt backwards the user only has an option to lock the chair forward, or have no lock and have a free range tilt.
However, the rest of the chair does, infact, hold up to scruitiny so far. It is moderately comfortable, the cushioning is good and so far piston is holding up to my use. Unfortunately teh arm rests are so far back and so low that they are nigh on useless. For my body shape I actually have to rotate my shoulders sideways to use one arm rest at a time. it is impossible to have both arms rested at the same time.
******Too long: Didn't Read******
- Seat tilts forwards at normal position
- Arm Rests are nigh unuseable
~ Acceptable cusioning
~ Attractive PU Leather
+ Good strength in piston
The chair is not, in my opinion, a £95 chair.
