Product details
Built for shorter desk days, the Lite Chair gives you the four adjustments most desk work needs and nothing you have to learn. It suits students, spare rooms, and anyone who sits two to four hours a day.
For businesses, it seats a training room, a meeting room, or a hot desk at a sensible cost per seat. For home offices, it is a proper desk chair at a price that makes sense.
Height adjustment, a recline with a single-position lock, height-adjustable armrests, and a moulded foam seat cover what shorter days need.

Incredible Office Chairs! I got the "The Essential Ergonomic Office Chair" in the Taupe colour and I couldn't be happier. Its the most comfortable and supportive chair I've ever had. I struggle with lower back pain from time to time and this was exactly what I needed as I work in tech and sit in front of my laptop for long hours on sales call etc. Total game changer.
Thanks, Tyan, this genuinely made our day. The Essential in Taupe is one of our favourites, and hearing it's helping with the lower back pain through long stretches of sales calls is exactly why we built it. Comfort that holds up across a full tech workday is the bar, so we're really glad it's clearing it for you. Enjoy the better workdays ahead, and shout if you ever need anything.

Great entry level chair. The only reason i wont give it 5 stars is because it does not have a lumbar support but overall its a good chair for under 3k
Thanks, Zohra, really appreciate the honest feedback. You're spot on, The Essential is designed as our entry point into proper ergonomic seating, so we're glad it's landing well at that price point. Lumbar support is a fair call-out, and if you ever want to step up to a chair with dedicated adjustable lumbar, the Pro Flow is the natural next move and we'd happily talk you through it. Either way, glad the overall comfort is working for you, and shout if you ever need anything.

I absolutely LOVE this chair, it's so comfortable and supportive and makes working at my desk such a breeze! Would highly recommend to anyone working a normal 9-5 at their desk!
Thanks, Sarah, this absolutely made our day. The Essential is built exactly for that, making a standard 9-to-5 at the desk feel less like a grind and more like a breeze. Comfort and support that hold up across a full working day is the bar we set ourselves, so it means a lot hearing it land. Enjoy the better workdays ahead, and shout if you ever need anything.

The customer service was out of this world. Not only did Riana personally deliver my original ordered chair, she went out of her way to assist me in getting a chair that fit my requirements when the original chair wasn't quite what I was looking for. I am very happy with this company and the chair quality is phenomenal. Will definitely recommend to everyone.

I bought this desk chair for my son for this final exams. He is a 17 teen year old, around 5'8 and he says he enjoys the desk chair. He sits on the chair for around 3 hours at a time and has no issues with the chair. He mentioned the headrest is a comfortable addition to the seat.
Thanks, Ryno, this is lovely to hear. Final exams are a serious test of any chair, so knowing The Essential is holding up through three-hour study stretches without any issues is exactly what we hoped for. Glad the headrest is earning its place too, it's a small detail that makes a real difference on longer sessions. Wishing your son the best of luck with the exams, and shout if you ever need anything.
