We bought the Hinomi chair for everyone in the family, and we have absolutely no regrets.
We first tried it at the showroom, Chamine, if I didn’t get her name wrong, was very patient in explaining the functionalities to us before purchasing it during the 7.7 sale. The chair has an incredible range of adjustments, making it comfortable even for someone under 150 cm tall. It’s easy to find a comfortable setup while changing support.
The adaptive lumbar support follows your lower back well and provides excellent support for the spine. The armrests are also highly adjustable, providing support for any angle.
Assembly was very easy. I managed to assemble four of these chairs by myself except some help from a male to put the entire chair to the legs. The instructions are straightforward, but if you’re doing it alone you will probably need an IKEA stool - invert the seat and sofa - put the back on the inverted seat. The only thing to note is that each component is quite heavy, so while the assembly itself is simple, it does require a fair amount of strength to lift and position the parts. Careful to position the armrest carefully at the back of the seat, the bare metal very easy to scratch the underside of the seat.
I didn’t get the chance to try the Ergotune, so I can’t compare the two, but I certainly don’t regret choosing the Hinomi.
This chair also makes it possible to recline the backrest, extend the footrest, and make a few more adjustments, and it transforms into an incredibly comfortable lounge chair. It genuinely feels like relaxing on a premium resort lounger.
Overall, it’s one of the best purchases we’ve made for our home desks and daily comfort. Highly recommended.
