Getting a brand new office chair is great. Sure, there are some guys outside, but if you have a good guide that helps you choose your new ergonomic office chair, you will probably sit pretty in no time.
But if you don't spray on a high-end-Herman Miller chair that is pre-assembled, you have to put the thing together yourself. In general it is a drag.
Secret Labs know that, so they did not treat the assembly stages as a boring thing that you have to struggle through, but as an as one pleasant Procedure. The result should be examined in textbooks as a perfect example of a positive brand binding.
So what did you do?

As soon as you have cut the adhesive tape and opened the box, there is a message: “Your unboxing experience begins here”. Of course I turned my eyes when I read it, but I'm an exhausted git. I soon heated …
Open it and you are greeted with a cheeky graphic design – a nice infographic about “What is new in the Titan Evo”. Usually you have 12 annoying pieces of paper to choose from. It is therefore great to get the most important information immediately. It is a difference, and before I even saw an arm rest, I have the feeling that my purchase is justified. I am in safe hands and this is a quality brand.
Each component in the box is treated by everyone like a special component of the main parts up to the magnetic screw/keyboard. Everything is divided individually or in his own foam house. Certainly terrible for the environment, but I immediately bought it into this chair, which was particularly superior.
“Ok,” I hear them say, “so there is additional plastic and some information about the boxing flaps? Relax your bean, my brother! '
But then there is the mother of all teaching sheets. Usually hidden on page 6 of an uncomfortably silent brochure, this is another micro event in the often overlooked building process. And because it is exactly what you need, it is another victory.
This is a massive side, perfectly balanced with boxes with educational photos and steps. Everything is actually meaningful and is 100% relevant. It leads 15 intuitive steps and then 8 notes to key functions. It is the perfect manual and I want to marry you.
The cherry at the top summarizes how exactly in Secret Labs its approach to the support of the user was. The armrests are usually attached to the headquarters with screws and a sliding metal receiver. With this receiver you can get closer or further away from the chair seat. If you sit in the chair, you either have more or less space for your elbows.
It is a pretty large adaptation that almost all manufacturers offer, but forget to tell them. Secret Labs makes a characteristic with clear instructions on the actual underside of the chair. “Pull the screws here for fewer elbow rooms for less firm”.
It is not revolutionary, just another little grade that is super helpful. The end result is that I was already satisfied with the chair before I even sat on it.
