Home Office Chairs Under £400
Six chairs, eight weeks of full working days, and one clear recommendation.
Adjustable lumbar depth is the feature worth paying for at this price.
What we liked
- Proper seat depth adjustment
- Breathable mesh
- Long UK warranties
What we did not
- Armrest wobble
- Assembly instructions are poor
Testers of three different heights used each chair for at least a full working week and scored comfort at the two-hour and six-hour marks.
Cheap chairs failed on seat depth rather than padding. If the seat pan is too long, no cushion prevents pressure behind the knees.
Warranty length correlated well with build quality here, and UK-based spares support was the tiebreaker in our recommendation.
