Searching for the Optimal Office Chair? In our comprehensive test, we evaluate the ofinto Ergo against central criteria.

Using four core criteria, we demonstrate that the Ergo sets standards in comfort, ergonomics, durability, and user-friendliness.

Our Test Criteria:

Comfort and Customisability
Durability and Quality
User-Friendliness
Safety and Certification

Our Testing Method

To objectively and fairly assess the Ergo, we commissioned an external institute for intensive stress and long-term tests. Additionally, it has already been rated 5 stars by over 1000 verified customers – a clear testament to its outstanding comfort. The results show: The ofinto Ergo is among the best office chairs in its price range.

Test Criterion 1: Comfort and Customisability

Excellent Seating Comfort

When buying an office chair, seating comfort is one of the most important criteria – after all, you spend many hours a day on the chair. The ofinto Ergo scores with its breathable mesh back, which perfectly adapts to body contours. The adjustable lumbar support ensures optimal support in the lower back area.

Extensive Customisability

Thanks to numerous adjustment options, the Ergo can be individually tailored to the user's needs. The office chair impresses with a multitude of ergonomic functions for the perfect seating position:

Our ergonomic all-rounder boasts all these vital functions. Notably, the elegantly integrated lumbar support in the backrest stands out. Through two levers, the tension of the breathable mesh back in the lumbar area can be individually adjusted, achieving optimum ergonomics with unbeatable comfort. It doesn't get more comfortable than this!

💡Conclusion Criterion 1💡

The ofinto Ergo excels with unparalleled comfort and extensive customisation options.

Test Criterion 2: Durability and Quality

Extremely High Durability

A good office chair must withstand years of use in daily office life. The ofinto Ergo passes this endurance test with flying colours: Its sturdy frame and high-quality materials ensure extreme stability and durability.

In intensive continuous load tests, the Ergo effortlessly endured over 20,000 movement cycles and 260,000 loads of 130 kg, without the slightest compromise. Even after more than 30,000 abrasion cycles, the high-quality covers remained colourfast and intact. In other words: The ofinto Ergo is suitable for even the most intense office use without any loss of fabric quality.

Here's a selection of photos from our internal quality tests that all products regularly undergo:

Gentle on Sensitive Floors

The components used also impress: The PU castors glide smoothly without damaging floors on almost all surfaces. Additional safety is provided by the TÜV-tested gas lift for seat height adjustment.

At ofinto, we consciously opted against cheap nylon castors for the Ergo. Our chairs exclusively use high-quality PU castors. These modern castors are not only quieter but also impress with their ideal hardness: They do not scratch hard floors and yet guarantee optimal rolling behaviour.

Wir von ofinto haben uns deshalb gegen günstige Nylon-Rollen entschieden. Unsere Stühle verwenden hochwertigste Rollen aus Polyurethan (PU-Rollen; die rechte Rolle im Bild). Die modernen PU Rollen sind nicht nur leiser, sondern verfügen auch über die ideale Härte: Sie verursachen keine Kratzer auf harten Böden und stellen trotzdem das Rollgefühl auch auf Teppichen sicher.
