I'm looking to get something with ventilated and firm surfaces, and this looks great.
There is a screw that looks like it is meant to detach the hand rests.
I am assuming the hand rests can be detached because they are also selling a version without hand rests.

You might have an exposed hole once you remove the hand rests. The version without hand rests seems to have a cap.
I suggest you give them a call, they were quite helpful and guided me to the local dealer where I could demo the chairs.
This was for Hyderabad though, I can share details of the Hyderabad dealer if it helps.

Re: Office / Desk Chair offering excellent support

My nephew is set to join his first job as a associate software engg. in a mnc. He will get rs18,000 to set up his office at home. He is looking for a chair under 10k. He will be working from 8 am to 5 pm. Anything in that range will be helpful.

Re: Office / Desk Chair offering excellent support

Reading all the good reviews about the Featherlite Liberate Mesh Fabric (High), I went and took the plunge today. Its an expensive chair (in my view) and was slightly over my budget. But they were running decent offers on Flipkart today; I got mine for INR 15.7K with a Kotak 10% discount.

Congratulations. Great choice. Steelcase Think is a brilliant home office chair. BTW, was this a custom order? The combination looks fab!

Here's mine ...

Thank you. Yes, this was a custom order. My colleague and I ordered one each, both custom specced. His in fact might be quite similar to the look of your chair going by the specs sheet he had listed although I haven't seen it in person.

Mine was with following specs.
1. Frame: Platinum silver finish for frames, arms and base
2. Castors: For non carpet.
3. 3D Knit back: Malt 5066
4. Seat upholstery: Fabric Khaki Green 68005


His was with following specs.

3. 3D Knit back: Nickel 5093
4. Seat upholstery: Fabric Light grey 66008

Hi, I'm considering Helix HB. Can you please let me know if the seat(on which thighs rest) can be moved back and forth?

I have recently purchased Helix HB. There is setting thru which seat can be moved slightly forward. I have not used it much once I set it to a position.

Hello, mine doesn’t move back and forth. Arm rest moves inward and outward though.

Re: Office / Desk Chair offering excellent support

So I'm the poor one on this thread. I don't want to spend more than 7-8k for a comfortable office chair and the ones available locally are all show, typical boss chairs with zero lumbar support.

I never thought I'd buy a chair online but amazon has some amazing reviews for a few chairs, one being https://www.amazon.in/Green-Jupiter-...591676031&th=1

From the reviews it looks like this is the chair for me but it'd be great to hear what the experts think, thanks!

The chair in this post seems to be a decent one, in a reasonable budget. Current price shown is ~ INR 6700/-

There is a B2B website called MOGLIX, which offers office chairs at wholesale prices. Not sure about quality or origin of these products (I've not purchased anything from this website yet).

List of other executive chairs available at mouth watering prices:
https://www.moglix.com/brands/high-l...airs/214194140

MOGLIX is apparently a Ratan Tata backed e-commerce website with valuation of over billion dollars - so it should be safe enough to shop online

Gents: if anybody decides to purchase from MOGLIX, keep us informed about shopping experience and quality/comfort of the chair.

Yes the seat base does slide by a small margin. I got this Helix HB around Nov,2020 after sugesstions here on this very thread and its been great till now. The sheer number of adjustable options(seat base, 4D arm-rest, lower back support etc) makes things very comfortable.

Only thing non-adjustable is the headrest which is strange IMO in a chair where everything else can be altered. With my height 5'7" it works out fine though. Here are the posts from back then during the purchase process.

Liked the liberate hb as well & that would cost me 12.4k post discount. But compared to Helix it lacks adjustable seat base,4D armrest, adjustable lumbar support. Even the seat back mesh quality looks better in Helix. I will mostly bite the bullet & stretch to the Helix HB...

Its 22.3k in flipkart right now and further 5% can be shaved off with AXIS credit cards making it effectively ~21k. Good value at that price.
