Our Verdict

I love this chair. It is comfortable, easily adjustable in a wealth of ways, and it's reasonably priced to boot. Sure, not all the materials are premium (with the exception of the webbing) but you're not paying premium prices – and it feels sturdy and supportive. My lumbar is very happy, thanks very much.

For

  • Cloud-like mesh
  • Lumbar support that cradles you
  • Mega-adjustable

Against

  • Plastick-y materials

I was skeptical about reviewing the SIHOO Doro-C300, as I've previously tested another chair in the SIHOO range and it was only-okay. But I also knew this model is a bit pricier, so I was expecting better things – and the promise of enhanced lumbar support was certainly appealing to my sore lower back.

So did the SIHOO Doro-C300 surprise me? Well, yes, actually, it did. I really like this chair, and not just because it's really comfortable. It may even find a place in our best office chair for back pain roundup. Keep reading to find out more (and then explore our how to choose an office chair post).
