From: Office Hippo

The Office Hippo Heavy Duty Ergonomic chair is built for people who spend long hours at a desk. It comes with pump-up lumbar support, a ratchet-adjustable back and height-adjustable arms. The seat slides to alter depth, so users of different heights and builds can find a proper fit.

This chair is certified for 24 hour use and can support users up to 152 kg. The frame is metal and the seat is finished in fabric with foam padding. It swivels and tilts, giving flexibility during a working day.

Product Features

Pump-up Lumbar Support - This chair includes an inflatable lumbar cushion that users pump up by hand. It targets the lower back directly, which helps reduce strain during long sitting sessions. Several reviewers noted it helped with existing back pain. Weight Capacity of 152 kg - Built with a reinforced frame, this chair supports users up to 152 kg. That's higher than many standard office chairs, which typically max out around 110-120 kg. It suits bigger and taller users specifically. 24 Hour Usage Certification - Unlike chairs rated for standard 8 hour office days, this model is certified for round the clock use. This matters for shift workers or anyone using the chair beyond typical office hours.

Multiple Adjustment Points - Seat height, seat depth, back height and arm height can all be adjusted separately. This means the chair can be tailored precisely rather than offering a one-size-fits-all setup. Reviewers describe it as having "a myriad" of settings. 5 Year Component Guarantee - The guarantee covers mechanical parts for 5 years, with upholstery covered for 2 years. This gives buyers confidence the chair will hold up over time, backed by Office Hippo's customer service. Swivel and Tilt Function - The chair rotates fully on its base and includes a tilt/recline mechanism. This allows users to shift position throughout the day, which can reduce stiffness from sitting still for long periods.

FAQs

How much weight can this chair hold?

The chair is certified to hold users up to 152 kg. This is higher than many standard ergonomic chairs on the market, making it a suitable choice for larger or taller users who need sturdier support.

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly requires some effort. Several reviewers mention the parts are heavy and some bolts are hard to reach due to the mechanism placement. A shorter or L-shaped Allen key can help since the one supplied doesn't always fit well. Budget around 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on experience.

Does the chair come pre-assembled?

Yes. Alongside the standard flat-pack versions in Royal Blue and Charcoal, Office Hippo also offers pre-assembled variants in both colours if you'd rather skip the build process.

What is the lumbar support like?

The chair has a pump-up lumbar cushion that inflates to add pressure against the lower back. Reviewers have mixed opinions here. Some found it helped with back pain significantly, while others didn't find much use for it and left it uninflated.

How long is the warranty?

Office Hippo backs this chair with a 5 year guarantee on components and a 2 year guarantee on the upholstery. Customer service has been described as responsive when it comes to fixing faults under this guarantee.

Can the seat height and depth be adjusted?

Yes. Seat height adjusts from 47 to 56.5 cm and seat depth adjusts by up to 6 cm from a base of 51 cm. This lets users of different leg lengths find a comfortable sitting position.

Is this chair suitable for 24 hour use?

Yes. It's specifically certified for 24 hour usage, which sets it apart from standard office chairs rated for an 8 hour working day. This makes it suitable for shift workers or anyone needing extended desk time.

What colours is this chair available in?

The chair comes in Royal Blue and Charcoal. Both colours are available as standard flat-pack delivery or as a pre-assembled option.
