On many occasions, we have insisted that a good working or leisure position, in which we will spend many hours at the computer, must have as a basic element a quality chair that not only ensures good posture, but also has. the possibility of adaptation to our way of sitting and our body, as well as other details such as the materials from which it is made.

A good chair can make our work more bearable, but it also has a number of health benefits that go beyond mere comfort, which is important, but good posture can contribute to better alignment of bones and joints, for example. in addition to supporting other processes such as digestion or breathing itself. The neck and back are the first to benefit, but not the only ones.

On this occasion, we analyzed the office chair BS11 Pro from the Flexispot brand, which, although it specializes in the production of tables with electric mechanisms (such as the E7 model that we analyzed at the time), but also includes office and office chairs in its catalog. high quality gaming to complete your workplace or leisure design following the same philosophy of offering ergonomics and comfort for your customers.

We received the chair in one cardboard box weighing approx. 20 kg with all the parts and tools needed for assembly. In fact, a screwdriver is included in the package instead of the allen key mentioned in the instructions and in our experience, and although the assembly can be done with the above screwdriver, in acceptable quality for what is usually styled in these circumstances, we recommend that you get the appropriate size wrench to they could perform the assembly more comfortably and could tighten the parts more easily.

Strenuous but simple assembly

The assembly process is somewhat laborious, but in just over thirty minutes we can have the chair assembled. Of course, you have to pay close attention to the illustrations so you don’t put the pieces together in the wrong direction and have to take them apart to start over. Once assembled, the chair looks great with a metal base for five casters and a breathable mesh seat and back, making it especially suitable for the warmer months.

The basis of the seat is a mechanism from the Donati brand, a renowned manufacturer in the sector of chair components. In the case of this chair, the all-metal base of the D109 model is incorporated with two plastic axes that protrude from the sides, allowing the adjustment of different features of the chair using three different levers. Thanks to the incorporation of this base, we find the possibility of adjusting the chair in ways that are not common with other models.

The D109 uses a synchronized mechanism with an anti-shock system and lateral thrust regulation, it allows the backrest to be locked in 5 positions with lever unlocking, seat height adjustment using a gas piston and two less common functions such as seat depth adjustment, we move it forward or backward relative to the position of the backrest horizontal movement and adjusting the height of the backrest with a zipper.

Many configuration options

Thanks to these features, the BS11 Pro offers many more options to adapt to the posture and body shape of the person who will use it, and it also ensures great strength of the mechanism thanks to the adoption of the manufacturer Donati. In addition, 3D armrests are added, meaning they can be raised but also rotated to find the most comfortable position for elbow support, and an adjustable headrest that allows the neck support to be adjusted to the passenger’s height.

Another important element of this model is the wheels chosen for the base. They are made of high-quality polyurethane with a special design to be as quiet as possible, in addition to offering high resistance and being non-slip. According to the manufacturer, they are also designed to be non-marking compared to the rubber wheels found on cheaper models. In addition to the quality of the wheels themselves, they rest on a metal base that gives them more stability than models with a less rigid and lighter plastic base.

Comfortable and ergonomic

As for the usage test, we were able to use the chair with different people of different sizes and weights, and the adaptability we mentioned immediately stood out. With a few simple adjustments, the chair is a perfect fit for almost anyone. The ergonomic shape of the chair requires some adjustment at first, because the curvature of the backrest seems to push us forward, but after a while the posture becomes much more comfortable than being “sunk” into the backrest and, above all, the result is much less discomfort after a long work session.

As for the armrests, they are made of soft plastic and also adapt to many positions and needs. Maybe they are missing that they are padded, but the mentioned soft material partially compensates for this and the truth is that they do not become discomfort, especially when we consider that the correct posture when writing should consider that the forearms will rest on the work table / animals and therefore would the armrests were not supposed to support too much pressure.

The mechanisms are easy to use and are clearly marked with arrows so you know their function. They are activated easily and without using too much force, even when we are sitting in a chair. The wheels glide smoothly on the different types of surfaces we tested them on and are really quiet and very stable during tilting movements or when turning the chair on itself.

Conclusion

The BS11 Pro is a high-quality chair with a multi-configuration mechanism that is truly robust and reliable, a success because it is the “heart” of the product. The backrest requires a bit of adjustment, but we soon find that it pays off for the health of our backs. They lack some padding on the armrests, more color options, and the inclusion of an Allen key for assembly. The price, although it may seem high, corresponds to a chair of these features and quality. In short, a chair that is not only comfortable, but above all healthy with a design that also makes it really attractive.
