New Product Review: Tendence Chair

Do you know how much time you spend sitting at your desk each day? The typical DSE worker spends an average of 73% of their work day in a seated position. So it’s no surprise that we often get asked about recommendations for a good home office chair. While there isn’t really a one-size-fits-all option that suits all bodies, shapes and activity type, the Tendence Chair from StudioLine is a solid choice for many. It’s ergonomically designed, durable and won’t break the bank.

I recently tested the Tendence fabric synchro mechanism, 3D adjustable chair. Here are my thoughts on why it stands out as a comfortable and supportive option for your home office setup.

If you’re spending hours at your computer desk at home, nding the right chair is not just about comfort; it’s about sustaining productivity and preventing strain or injury

I am asked so often for recommendations for a “good” chair for people to use at their home workstations. This can be a dicult question to answer as we are all built differently, have different needs and different preferences. Of course, there are some very well known chairs that are popular in oces around the world, but some of these can be expensive and beyond what the average DSE user is willing or able to pay for a chair for their workstation. However, there is a chair that I have come across a bit lately that I think comes in under the radar as a good all round mid-price oce chair, with excellent customer service to boot.

TheTendence chair, a agship model available from StudioLine, could be the ideal solution for home oce setups, balancing ergonomics, style, sustainability and durability

It is available in a range of styles, mechanisms and fabrics.

I recently tried the fabric synchro mechanism, 3D adjustable soft PU arms, seat depth adjustment, ratchet back height adjustment model.

Design and Comfort

TheTendence chair offers a sleek, modern look that ts well in any home oce decor. It comes with a variety of upholstery options including mesh, fabric, and leather, allowing users to choose according to their comfort and style preferences.The chair is designed with an adjustable headrest and a patented ergonomic backrest that conforms to various body shapes, ensuring tailored support.

The seating that I tried was the fabric back chair. It was supportive, without being too rm and rigid.

The seat is built with a high-density polyurethane resin covered beech plywood, which provides both resilience and comfort for long hours of seating. This combination makes theTendence chair not just comfortable but also promotes a good seating posture, crucial for those lengthy work sessions.

Adjustability

One of the standout features of theTendence chair is its high level of adjustability

Seating height adjustment in the model I tried went from 450mm – 560mm.

The height-adjustable backrest ensures that users of different heights can nd their perfect t.The 5 block recline adjustment ensures the backrest is positioned appropriately for your preferred typing position, enhancing both comfort and ergonomic support.

The armrests on the model I tried were adjustable in height, width and depth which ensures adequate support to help maintain relaxed shoulders and upper limbs.

Mobility and Stability

The base of the chair is made from berglass-loaded nylon with a metal safety ring, ensuring stability and long-lasting use.The wheels are designed for all types of ooring and include a braking mechanism, which is particularly useful for home environments where oor types can vary from room to room.

Sustainability

TheTendence is built from recyclable materials and designed to be eco-friendly, which is increasingly important as we become more environmentally conscious in our purchasing decisions.

The modular design and interchangeable parts allows for exibility for users and longer chair life, as parts can be replaced as required, reducing waste and cost.

Warranty and Support

A substantial ve-year warranty backs theTendence chair, which speaks volumes about its durability and the manufacturer’s condence in its product.

This long-term warranty ensures that users can rely on substantial support and guarantees a worthwhile investment for any home oce.
