You can even put your feet up in this ergonomic office chair: Sihoo Doro C300 review

The Sihoo Doro C300 scored highly in our test with its various adjustment functions, even if there is still room for improvement. It enables a sitting position that can be adjusted in various ways and offers good back support, especially with the dynamic and self-adjusting lumbar support. This benefits people who work at a desk all the time, as they can sit comfortably on the chair for many hours.

Ultimately, the fit depends primarily on your height. We don't quite agree with the manufacturer's specifications. From a good 180 cm, the height adjustment of the backrest and headrest is not sufficient according to our findings. However, people up to 180 cm sit comfortably according to our impressions.

The optional footrest is practical and pleasant for everyday office use and invites you to relax when needed. Overall, the Sihoo Doro C300 made a good impression in our test, with some limitations.

The recommended retail price for the Sihoo Doro C300 is $559.99. The optional footrest costs $40 extra. The ergonomic office chair is available in two colors, black and white, directly from the manufacturer and on Amazon.

There are numerous ergonomic office chairs on the market. Many models cost a lot of money, which not everyone can or wants to pay. Sihoo, on the other hand, offers a solution with the Doro C300 that only costs around $500 - in some cases even less.

We used the ergonomic office chair in a practical test over a longer period of time and reveal what it has to offer and how well we sat on it.

The ergonomic office chair was delivered in two rather large and heavy boxes. Unpacked, they contain around 20 parts as well as a whole range of screws and other small parts. The advantage is that all the tools are included in the scope of delivery, so there is no need to dig in the toolbox. Another positive aspect is that the manufacturer does not use large polystyrene blocks as packaging material and instead uses cardboard. In the end, a 25-liter bin bag was still full of bags and other plastic waste.

The instructions explain the assembly of the chair in relatively small pictures and without many words, but are ultimately easy to understand. A total of 11 steps are required, which should take around 30 to 60 minutes depending on your skills.

On the whole, we found it easy to assemble. When connecting the seat and backrest, it is particularly important that the two parts are screwed together precisely. Otherwise it will not be possible to fit the armrests later on. It is also advisable for two people to assemble the chair, at least when placing the upper part of the chair on the swivel base and gas pressure spring. Especially as the chair weighs well over 20 kg in total.

Unfortunately, the seat of the office chair, which can hold up to approx. 300 lbs, cannot be adjusted horizontally. It measures around 51 x 46 cm in width and depth and, like the backrest and headrest, is covered with mesh fabric. This ensures that it adapts well to the shape of the body and also prevents excessive sweating on the contact surfaces on hot days.

The seat is surrounded on the left and right by a lightly padded 4D armrest. These can not only be adjusted up to 9 cm in height, but can also be moved forward by a few centimetres. The fact that they can be reclined to around 45 degrees is particularly practical for relaxed sitting. This allows you to rest your arms comfortably on them while your hands rest on your stomach.
