As we head towards the end of the year, a lot of creatives will be looking to start new projects, ventures, or side hustles from home. If you’re in the process of creating a comfortable home office space, then I’ve found this deal with $100 off one of IKEA’s best-selling ergonomic chairs – the CENTERHALV model.
While I haven’t tested this chair myself (yes, it’s possible to thoroughly test a chair), our sister site Tom’s Guide has tried it and confirmed that the adjustability offered by this chair was unmatched, thanks to its adjustable lumbar support mechanism.
Does IKEA compromise on quality?
You might be wondering if such a budget-friendly office chair comes with some compromise, and the answer is: surprisingly not. Our Ecom editor, Beren, is the resident chair tester at CB and has used several of the best budget office chairs that money can buy.
He notes that sometimes the only flaw of a budget office chair is that you’ll need to do some assembly yourself, but otherwise, many of the more modestly priced choices in fact offer high levels of comfort and support. The CENTERHALV black mesh ergonomic office chair would fit nicely into any home office thanks to its toned-down design, and IKEA offers a 365-day warranty for any issues.
According to an expert at Tom’s Guide, the three things to look for in an office chair are spaciousness, a sturdy build, and adjustability. This model, in particular, from IKEA, was noted by TG to offer tilt resistance and caster locks, which I’m given to believe is a good thing designed to keep your chair firmly in place when not used.
