I am a standing desk evangelist. I believe that I stand so much that I would try to convince them Status instead.
I stand almost all day, swayed and rocked on my two legs like a stupid person to keep my attitude upright and prevent my deep veins from throbowing. You would never find me in an office chair, let alone one of these premium office chairs that costs more than a grand.
When Sihoo asked me to check her Doro C300 Pro Office Chair with a RRP of 700 US dollars, I told the beautiful PR representative not to take care of it. I wouldn't use it, I told you. But they insisted on it, so I agreed … and now I'm here.
I sit in Sihoos Doro C300 Pro while I write that. A chair I said I would never use one that I would never have thought about. And yet since I actually tried it, I think I would probably do it. And it is due to an outstanding feature that I did not notice that he was missing from any other cheap office chair that I tried.
A story of useless office chairs
As I said, I largely avoided office chairs. Not sofas, mind you, and I love a good chaise lounge when I'm out of the clock. But for office work? They seemed to have more and more trouble than they were worth.
I am a short man – I measure it with a tiny 5'4 '' – and so most chairs are a tricky fit for me, let alone office chairs. They are usually too big, both in relation to the distance from the floor And In the length of the upper back section. Even if I sit on an office chair with lumbar support, it is useful and out of the reach of my actual spine. In the meantime, my feet remain dangling and crawling for a footrest.
Over the years I have tried a few of these “game chairs” with their silly lobsters, but they have never delivered enough actual support, and those who constantly change my ADHD-powered fidget.
The worst of office chairs are always led to sitting with poor posture, which led to back pain, which made my hours unbearable in front of my computer with pain, pain and general tiredness.
I also tried firmer chairs with rigid components and utilitarian designs that Violence Me to sit properly. But these chairs often left me back with pressure pain and other pain. Without involving too much in the weed, you know that you have the pain that can come from sitting too long on a surface that is far too hard.
All of this only drives me into the open arms of my standing rice. If nothing else, at least it encourages me to keep my upper back straight and my arms of sleepy armrests away. It is one of the main belongings that contributed to relieving my back pain.
After years of success with standing desks, I had stepped down at work to stay vertical. Nowadays I even use a balance board (including for accessories) while I work to get additional core exercises. I stand during my work, I stand during the game and sometimes I can even eat. It's just easier and better for me.
I always thought that office chairs were not worth their difficulties or price tags. How much better could a 700 dollar chair even have a chair of 200 US dollars? It turns out that the additional money is worth.
A review of a consumed office prevention
The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro came in a really gigantic box and with some of the most robust cardboard packaging that I have ever seen. It was difficult. My children then made fortresses for days, and their consistent bitch was better than most toys and games I got them.
This robust packaging protects this surprisingly heavy chair. The base of the Doro C300 Pro consists of mesh, but the internal construction makes up most of its overall weight, so it has proven to be a major challenge. (Make sure you have help if you are not ready to grunt yourself and sweat yourself, solo through you.)

The strong weight ultimately leads to an impressively stable chair. Sure, the plastic arms and the headrest are less premium and they have a little flex, but they are comfortable and have just given enough.
However, this position flexibility does not extend to the seat itself, which is extremely robust and load -bearing, but all around with hard plastic. That immediately brought me out because I couldn't put my leg among myself, how I wanted to do it in office chairs.
But it forced me straight and properly. Huh … maybe an office chair may Do you encourage a better attitude without feeling stiff unpleasant?

But what about my back? All of my problems have always been here. I already had office chairs with a firm lumbar support and they are always unreachable. Sure would that be the same?
Actually no. This has a built -in lumbar support, which can move up and down a few centimeters when they support themselves in them, and they can also set the back of the seat manually. This moves the lumbar support and gives it greater flexibility. I also found the ability to adapt the depth of the seat to keep everything as I need.

And my goodness! What a difference that makes that. Do I miss all the years? The ability to sit on a chair without It hurt my back? Who would have known.
The backup I didn't know about I wanted it
Until I tested this chair, I thought I would stand for the rest of my days during PC-based activities, at least until my knees were published when I reached geriatric status. But now I'm not so sure.
Standing at my desk is still better for my attitude and my energy level than sitting. But with the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro I have another option when I get tired or when my feet start to hurt. This chair offers me the support of my sick back needs and helps me to maintain a good attitude.
It is of course not perfect. I removed the headrest because I felt that it encouraged me to lean my head more than it was comfortable. And the armrests cannot completely jam, which sometimes becomes frustrating. For its solid design, the hard plastic does not have the premium feeling everywhere that suggests its price tag.
There is also the ghost of Herman Miller and Steelcase chairs that my bar-rich colleagues sit like throne. These promise uniform premium chair experiences to the simultaneous premium prices, of which I may be more tried now than before.
Apart from that, the Doro C300 Pro is an excellent companion. I now have something that I would like to fall back on if I don't want to stand anymore, but I will also not destroy my back and counteract all the hard work that I do all day long.
I wouldn't have bought it. But now? I would probably pay to replace it if someone is steel. So please not. It is still very expensive.
