Our Verdict

An office chair that looks elegant is as important as one that’s comfortable to sit in for long periods if you’re running a home office as a creative. Sihoo’s Doro S300 attempts to tick all those boxes, with a spring-loaded and highly customisable system of supports and cushions melded with an exposed aluminium frame and some sleek industrial design.

For

  • Comfortable support
  • Adjustable
  • Looks good

Against

  • A bit small for taller users
  • No recline lock

Why you can trust Creative Bloq Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

Office chairs are an essential part of working from home, and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You naturally want one that looks good, all the while cradling your delicate lumbar regions so that getting up from the chair means you don’t make a noise like your dad getting off the sofa. Ergonomic office chairs are distinct from gaming chairs, even though they speak the same language, by being lighter, less aggressively styled, and often a bit smaller too.

Sihoo’s Doro S300 is a new entry into the marketplace and brings sprung lumbar support along with an “anti-gravity mechanism” that allows the chair to smoothly move and stop at any angle without needing to be locked into place. It has the standard gas-lift adjustment too, so in theory, you should be able to get yourself into the kind of extremely comfortable position that’s conducive to doing lots of work. We used a specially trained test office worker to find out.
