The breathable mesh on the backrest had good tension, and we still felt like it was fully supporting our spine. The absence of a waterfall edge on the seat pad did increase pressure on the backside of the legs when we were sat for a prolonged amount of time, but at least this encouraged us to get out of our seat more often to walk around, which is good for spine health. Comfort and ergonomicsĪll our testers commented on how comfortable the 8cm thick cushion padding on the seat was and that the fabric covering was soft rather than scratchy, while still being breathable. We reckon that could be an attractive selling point especially if the chair is kept in a more public area of the house, like at a computer table in a living room. It’s a relatively simple mechanism, but can make all the difference between a cramped and cluttered office space and one that’s clear. The arms pivot up and down so that they’re vertical to the backrest, which gets around a common gripe for many chairs – that being, even if the seat pad can be lowered enough to get underneath a desk, the armrests still stop the chair being fully tucked under. The Hbada can be locked in place or you have the option of letting it rock freely between 90 and 120-degrees and a twist of the dial underneath the seat pad adjusts the tension of this back tilt, so you can personalise how easy it is to rock the chair and eliminate the sensation that you’re about to disappear over the back of it.

However, after weeks of use, it was still holding up well with no worrying squeaks coming from the chair itself and no signs of stress coming from the plastic base, which is usually the stress point that begins to break down first. There have been some Amazon reviews, highlighting some issues that the chair suffers from some micro-movements even when everything is screwed in tight. There’s a lot of plastic involved in the chair’s construction, but it still feels sturdy and stable to get in and out of. So, while DIY isn’t our favourite task, we had it ready to go in just under 15 minutes. It might sound like a faff, but unlike some other chairs, this can be assembled by one person as its lightweight plastic parts make it easy to move around and connect to one another. Unless you’re paying for the privilege of a chair that comes pre-assembled, you’ll usually have to arm yourself with an Allen key (and some patience) when the Hbada arrives at your door.
