M5

Der Stuhl ist erstaunlich bequem und man kann sehr viel an ihn einstellen. Sogar die höhe der RÜCKENLEHNE selbst, was ich bislang noch nie bei einem meiner anderen Stühle konnte. Ich als Gamer habe diesen Stuhl über 6h am Stück getestet und er ist über diese Zeitspanne immer noch bequem. Einen kleinen Makel hatte das Produkt bei mir zwar gehabt, aber der Support hat schnell und zufriedenstellend reagiert. Wenn der Stuhl irgendwann kaputt gehen sollte, kaufe ich wieder den selben.

Ein äußerst bequemer Stuhl, der alle Erwartungen erfüllt hat.

Der Bürostuhl übertrifft meine Erwartungen komplett.
Kein Vergleich zu anderen Stühlen in der Preisklasse auch in Bezug auf "Gaming-Stühle".
Der "VALKENSTOL M5 mit Mesh-Sitz" hat für den Preis sehr viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, sowie der "Mesh-Bezug" ist angenehm und ist keinesfalls kratzig. Er ist bequem und geeignet für mehrere Sitzpositionen.
Aus jetziger Sicht hätte ich mir sogar den größeren "M6 mit Mesh" gekauft.
Diesen Stuhl würde ich auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen.

Ein sehr guter Stuhl. Preis - Leistungsvergleich stimmt. Einfach zusammenzubauen. Kann ich gut empfehlen.

Review after 6 months of work from home:

Surprisingly very good product, for the price. Far superior than any high-end gaming chair I have tried so far (even >500 € ones... *wink wink). If practicability, comfort, and flexibility on a budget is what you are looking for on a chair, this is the chair for you!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
- Make sure that the size fits you! this chair looks like not being made for small people (< 170 cm tall)

PROS
- Straight-forward assembly, chair assembled in 20 minutes, with all the tools provided with the chair (mind that the seat alone is the heaviest part)
- super solid build, hardly any squeaks
- seat very comfortable, wide, soft (for some it may be too soft, tho). By far my favourite part.
- Arm rests wide and soft enough to be comfortable for prolonged time
- mesh back-rest is overall very comfortable
- feet-rests surprisingly useful. I personally like the idea of them being in hard polymer rather than metal, since I often stay barefoot at home
- adjustments of seat depth, seat height, back rest and arm rests very solid and easy to reach.
- Balance with the back rest fully back very good
- smooth movement of the wheels
- the headrest is a bit of a gimmick when you work, but quite comfortable when laying down. Cool feature the fact that it can be removed at any time.

CONS
- the chair is clearly a bit too tall for me (I'm 178), and even when I keep it to its lowest point, I wish it could go lower. For prolonged hours of work, I always end up sitting with my leg crossed on the seat, or using the feet rests. Luckily, the seat is wide enough to allow both things, although is not the optimal posture for so many hours.
- Although it is not bad, I do not like the concept of a lumbar support fixed with the back rest. It is not very adaptable to different body types, and to me it feels always in the wrong place
- the back-rest adjustment, in my opinion the weakest feature of the chair. It has 4 (or 5?) stages, but it is difficult to adjust it properly at the first try, and it is limited in height too. If you want your lumbar support to stay higher... well, you can't
- The armrests lay a bit too far apart, in my opinion. On the one hand, there's a lot of space in the seat. on the other hand, the arms always have to stay wide in order to lay on the armrests. This can be "fixed" by using the rotational adjustment of the armrests, although it could still be better
- back-rest angle lock stages are annoyingly in the wrong spots. Stage 1 appears to be too straight up, but stage 2 already feels too far back. In between it is just right, but it cannot be locked (that is why it is annoying). This could be fixed by adjusting the depth of the seat, but the shape of the back-seat and the fixed position of the lumbar support still make the position uncomfortable at times.
