The most documented office chair here: BIFMA X5.1, an 8-step lumbar and a 5-year parts warranty
CAPOT appears once on this site, in ergonomic office chairs, with its OC.017 mesh chair.
A named test standard. CAPOT states BIFMA X5.1 certification for the whole chair — the US structural test for office chairs — plus an SGS-tested gas spring. Of the four chairs in the hub, it is the only one to certify the whole chair; what BIFMA certification tests explains what that covers.
A lumbar you can set. The lumbar pad moves 5 cm (2 in) in 8 steps — the most precisely described lumbar mechanism in the hub. The seat adjusts from 47 to 56 cm (18.5 to 22 in), the highest range published here, and CAPOT recommends the chair for people 165 to 188 cm (5 ft 5 in to 6 ft 2 in) tall — check your height against it.
The paperwork. A capacity of 159 kg (350 lb) in the description — the listing title says 180 kg, so go by the lower figure — and a 5-year warranty with replacement parts included, the only warranty published among the four chairs.
Where to buy it. It is sold on the European Amazon stores, at about €200 on amazon.de when we checked, and not on Amazon.com; from the US, the button opens a search.
