Hello everyone, netizens who are familiar with me may know that at the end of last year, the company I worked for moved to a new office because of business needs. Then you see how I'm doing – there's less and less original content. This is the expansion of the company led to the increase of departments, personnel, the company's operation and management workload have increased, as an old employee and department manager, naturally obligated to assume many new responsibilities. Of course, there is always a reward for effort, so after the beginning of this year, my position has also been adjusted, from the original department manager to vice president, managing three departments. Unfortunately, salaries have not tripled. Come to think of it, I've almost peaked my career here. So the family leader Zhang Luo wanted to invite friends to eat together, but due to the epidemic situation, it is not suitable at present. After a friend who poured office furniture learned about it, he said that since he had been promoted to vice president, he naturally had to be equipped with a chair that could match his identity, and he just happened to have a zhang, which could give me a period of experience, what? Experience a period of time? Shouldn't I invite you to dinner and you give me a chair? As a result, friends said that this chair is more expensive, really can not afford to send, or let me first look at the brothers upside down office furniture is very expensive, and in the office decoration, I also considered the purchase of their home Okamura Okamura brand office furniture, but limited to the designer's styling requirements and budget problems (QIONG), and finally chose the domestic brand of custom furniture, after all, small companies, money is everyone hard to earn, not the wind blown, there is no angel, Why don't investors send us money? And this time my friend gave me the experience of Okamura Okamura brand flagship product - Duke, priced at about 36,000 yuan:
It is classified as an office chair in Okamura's product classification in the administrative category, rather than as an office chair such as Contessa and Sylphy, so it is also directly labeled as a president's chair on the Tmall sales page. The official Introduction Duke is an executive office chair that combines innovative design with reliable ergonomics, embodied in features such as "active backrest" and "intelligent operation". And it offers comfort that cannot be surpassed. From delicate frame lines to outstanding padding, every detail is carefully designed and crafted.
Although this buddy is only willing to give me a taste of their flagship products, refusing to send me directly, but said that if I sit satisfactorily, you can give me a discount, but ask if the discount can be broken to give a 10% discount, he will not speak. Okay, let's sit back and see what it's like for ceminos to sit up in their chairs. After all, you can't be a "domineering president", but it is still possible to sit in the "president" chair.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > first, unboxing</h2>
They are all his own brothers, so he directly let the car to send, in his words, although the express delivery is much cheaper than sending a trip alone, but the things are too expensive, or personally send more insurance points.
The packaging is also pasted with product information, imported from Japan, think about the tariff is not good. Selling such an expensive chair, naturally it is impossible for buyers to buy it back and then assemble it themselves, so the arrival is a large box, unpacked and used:
Comes with an instruction manual and leather care instructions:
First of all, a 360-degree appreciation, the shape of the Okamura DUKE president's chair I personally still like very much, the overall look and feel is very business, atmospheric:
The one I got is a black leather head pillow, officially known as The Extra High Back, while the headrest without a headrest is called High Back. In addition to genuine leather, Duke also has Suede Leather suede and fabric models, it can be said that this black leather Extra High Back model is already the top of the flagship:
The product name Duke occupies the C position on the back. Okamura, on the other hand, is placed below:
In the lower position of the front of the chair, there is also a simple version of the instructions for use, which is convenient for the "president" to read at any time:
In addition to the date of manufacture, there is also a standard expiration date of JOIFA (Japan Office Furniture Association), and this Duke has a service life of 8 years and an official 5-year warranty.
And as a chair that costs 3W6, it is also impeccable in terms of details:
Neither the stitching of the leather nor the hemmings are faultless. The leather reveals a low-key and introverted appearance, which is very harmonious with the office environment and has a warm touch. Although it is mentioned in the instructions of the chair that genuine leather products may have growth lines or scars, this chair has no flaws at all.
The overall frame of the Okamura Okamura Duke President's Chair is painted with cast aluminum parts that is perfectly worth its price, and the internal hexagonal screw connection between the individual parts is used, whether it is the grinding of a single piece or the treatment of the joint, it is quite perfect.
The back of the chair is not made of solid wood like other leather chairs, but uses a honeycomb resin material, which has a certain elasticity and better fit. Better breathability.
Although the armrest part may take into account the durability and not use leather, but a latex-like material, but the feel still shows a high level, good support, but not stiff.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, function display</h2>
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > adjustable headrest</h3>
The height adjustment range of the headrest is 75mm.
The adjustment range of the front and rear angles is 40 degrees, and the adjustment method is also very simple, holding the sides of the headrest can be adjusted up and down.
You can see that Okamura Okamura DUKE's headrest adjustment range is still relatively large. Personally, I prefer to lean my headrest forward and lean back to prop up the cervical spine.
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, the seat is tilted</h3>
Okamura Duke can adjust the angle synchronously with the body leaning backwards, and the maximum inclination angle can reach 26°.
At the same time, through the knob in front of the lower right of the cushion, the tilt force (4 gears) can also be adjusted to suit different weights.
With my weight of 75 kilograms, it is more appropriate to adjust to 1st or 2nd gear, and in 4th gear, I can't press down the chair with my weight.
Of course, depending on personal preference, Okamura Okamura Duke also offers a tilt angle lock function, which can be adjusted between angle locking and free tilting via the button in front of the left armrest. However, I myself have always been on the open tilt, facing the screen time for a long time, leaning back can take a nap, and after the tilting force is adjusted, it will not be like some cheap chairs to lean back, and when I lean back, I will feel that I will fall.
<h3 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, waist adjustment</h3>
Okamura Duke has a built-in adjustable waistrest that can be adjusted up and down by about 75mm through the handles on both sides of the chair back:
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4. Seat depth adjustment</h3>
Through the adjustment button at the bottom left of the cushion, Okamura Okamura Duke can adjust the seat depth by about 50mm, which is mainly adjusted according to the length of his thighs, and with my height of 173cm, it is more appropriate to put it in the innermost part:
<h3 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, seat height adjustment</h3>
This is the basic function of all office chairs. The height of Okamura Okamura Duke can be adjusted via a button on the right armrest:
Of course, as with other office chairs, if you want to go down, you have to sit on a chair and use your weight to press the chair down:
< h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, the overall sitting sensation</h2>
The part about sitting sensation is more subjective, as a poor Diaros, in fact, I have not been exposed to such a high-end office chair before this. After all, the IKEA Stockholm three-seat sofa I had in mind was only half the price of this chair, and I was not willing to move it home. After a period of use, Okamura Duke's biggest experience for me is that everything is so just right, let people sit with a feelingless comfort, and the curves of the body are very obedient, which is exactly in line with the official statement that it can provide unsurpassable comfort. For example, chair cushions, general office chairs or hard or soft, hard not to say, is certainly not suitable for sitting for a long time. The chair is different from the sofa, it is impossible to make a cushion of 20cm, and then lined with spring latex. So even if it is a cushioned chair, no matter how soft it is at the beginning of sitting down, it will feel hard to a certain extent, especially when the wallet is placed in the back pocket of the pants. Although Okamura Duke does not feel how soft the cushion is when you sit down, you will feel the obvious support, but there will be no discomfort after sitting for a long time. Including the waist lean, many office chairs will also have adjustable waist lean, but some in order to brush the presence of the waist, when the body leans back, you will obviously feel the support of the waist, but Okamura Okamura Duke gives people the feeling of being very fit, and it will not obviously feel that there will be a very stiff support on the waist side, but when you adjust the waist position, you will feel that there will indeed be a support on the waist side.
And this chair is also very compatible with my office, of course, the value of all the objects in the whole office may not add up to this chair.
Through a few days of use, I feel like I've fallen in love with this chair, both sitting and dealing with paperwork.
Or lean back a little bit to shop for headlines.
Or taking a nap during the lunch break, Okamura Duke always offers me a comfortable posture, and the only thing that prevents me from leaving it at the moment is the price...
