As an IT guy, my workday alternates between tasks like going out and fixing people’s computer issues or setting up new computers and sitting at my desk waiting for the next call.

I’d like my boss to think I spend 80% of my day away from my desk, but in reality I spend a lot of my time sitting at my desk working on my computer.

A lot of people just inherit the chair of their predecessor, which may or may not be suitable.

COVID-19 sent a lot of us to work from home, where we are likely responsible for buying our own office furniture.

If you are lucky enough to get to pick your own chair, you should take a look at the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2, which I’ve been using for the last few weeks.

What is it?

Thie C300 Pro V2 provides adaptive, full-body support for a variety of types and activities.

It is an impressive chair, even at first glance. It is quite adjustable, even when you sit in it for the first time, the chair back will adjust as you settle in, comforming to the curve of your body to provide support.

As you move or change positions, the chair moves with you keep you supported.

The chair has 4-zone synchronized tracking across your neck, back, waist and arms.

It also has an optional extendable footrest for fully reclining.

Assembly

You might not realize, but office chairs like this one arrive unassembled. The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 box weighed more than 70 pounds. It was a two-person job to get it in my front door. The chair itself weighs 59.64 pounds and it can support a person who weighs up to 330 pounds.

The chair has three main sections — the base (with wheels and the center post), the seat back/headrest and the seat bottom.

The chair ships with all the parts nicely wrapped in foam sheets and bubble wrap, and the hardware is contained along with the hex wrench you’ll need for assembly.

The instructions were clear and it took me the better part of an hour to put everything together.

The hardest part was attaching the back of the chair to the seat bottom. Both are fairly heavy assemblies, and I balanced the seat bottom on a small folding table while my wife held the back in place so I could tighten the four bolts.

The five wheels are made of a hard rubber and they rolled easily on my wooden floor at home.

The chair is adjusted with one lever. Pull up or down to raise and lower the seat. You rotate the lever back to recline and rotate it forward to slide the seat forward and backward. The seat adjusts up and down up to 3.94 inches on the gas strut. The seat bottom can adjust forward or back up to 1.57 inches and the seat back can recline to 105 degrees, 120 degrees or 135 degrees.

The C300 Pro V2 has very unique 8D Bio-Adaptive armrests, which can move in any direction and bend to support your arms in any direction.

My only complaint about the C300 Pro V2 is that you can’t simply lock the arms in place. The arms are so adjustable that I found myself inadvertently readjusting them when I put any pressure on them. I really wanted a way to just lock them into one position.

In use

From first glance, the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 looks super comfortable, and it did not disappoint.

One of the most obvious features is the large lumbar support at the bottom of the chair back. That lumbar support rides up and down, along with the entire back of the chair.

When the sitter lowers themselves onto the chair, the back and lumbar support slide down into position to cradle the back comfortably. This self-adjusting chair back is called the SyncroFlex Guide System. I found it to be outstanding.

Once you get seated, you can grab the 3D wide headrest and adjust it to your desired position. Then you can decide if you’d like to recline or sit upright.

The seating surfaces are a breathable mesh with just enough give to keep you comfortable without cutting off circulation.
