Marsail Ergonomic Office Chair (Black, High Back)

What is the maximum weight capacity of this chair?

The chair supports up to 136kg (300 lbs). The sturdy construction includes a Class 3 gas lift and metal base designed to handle this weight capacity safely. The frame uses reinforced metal components and high-quality casters that distribute weight evenly across the base for maximum stability during daily use.

How long does assembly take and what tools are needed?

Assembly typically takes 20-30 minutes using the included tools and hardware. The package contains all necessary components including bolts, washers and an Allen key. The instruction manual provides clear step-by-step guidance with labelled parts. No additional tools are required, making it suitable for most people to assemble independently.

Can the armrests be adjusted and how much movement do they have?

Yes, the armrests adjust vertically to accommodate different desk heights and user preferences. The height adjustment mechanism allows you to position the armrests at the optimal level for proper elbow support. This adjustment helps maintain proper arm positioning whether you're typing, using a mouse, or taking breaks from computer work.

Is this chair suitable for people over 6 feet tall?

The chair is optimised for users up to 5'11" (180cm) tall. While taller individuals can use it, they may find the headrest and lumbar support positioning less ideal. The seat height adjusts from approximately 45-55cm and the backrest height is 130.6cm total. People over 6 feet should consider whether the proportions will provide adequate support for their frame.

What type of flooring works best with the included casters?

The 360-degree PU swivel casters work effectively on both carpet and hard flooring including wood, laminate and tile. The polyurethane material is designed to roll smoothly without marking or scratching hard surfaces. On carpet, the casters provide adequate mobility while maintaining stability. The wheel design distributes weight evenly to prevent floor damage.

How does the lumbar support adjustment work?

The lumbar support adjusts vertically by 2.4 inches using a simple mechanism behind the backrest. You can position the curved lumbar pad to align with your lower back's natural curve. The adjustment is made by loosening a knob, moving the support to your preferred height, then tightening to lock it in place. This customisation helps reduce lower back strain during extended sitting periods.

Can the chair recline and what angles are available?

The chair tilts from 90 degrees (upright) to 130 degrees (reclined), providing a 40-degree range of motion. The tilt tension can be adjusted to match your body weight and preference for resistance. A lever under the seat controls the tilt lock, allowing you to secure the chair at any angle within this range or leave it free-floating for dynamic movement.

What materials are used in the seat cushion and backrest?

The seat features an 8cm thick cushion made from high-density foam padding covered in durable fabric. The backrest uses breathable mesh material that promotes airflow while providing support. The frame construction combines metal components for strength with foam and mesh materials for comfort. This material combination balances durability, support and temperature regulation for all-day use.
