Its comfortable, supportive, and well-priced, but the armrests feel loose and could use better stability.
Branch is a company I have grown to appreciate over the years.
Since then, I’ve had theBranch Softside Chairin my rotation of personal chairs I keep in my home.
Branch may not be the most prominent and flashiest of companies, which may play to their advantage.
They have fewer options, yet their quality is fantastic.
Little wonder the company’s Verve is our pick forbest office chair.
Branch added more adjustability, upgraded the lumbar support, and added the forward tilt feature.
In short, they are the cheaper chairs with the same high-end features found in the big-name chair companies.
They can be shipped for free and are provided on Branch’s website.
I could get everything out of the box with minimal effort and zero frustration.
The assembly took about 15 minutes, though I used an electric screwdriver to help speed up the process.
The base is made of aluminum, giving it a higher weight capacity and a more durable seat.
This chair is a continuation of that.
The sleek, professional look with multiple colorways and material options shows they want versatility.
I never wanted a minivan, and I still don’t.
But, the genius marketing at the newly revitalized Kia caught me.
They marketed the Kia Carnival as an MPV – a Multi-Purpose Vehicle.
Do you know what it is?
It’s an SUV, with sliding doors like a van.
Nevertheless, the marketing worked, and now I own a Kia Carnival for my wife and the kids.
So, why do I mention a not-so-minivan vehicle when discussing a chair?
The 5D armrests allow me to put my arms exactly where I choose.
However, what we all keep coming back to is that this chair is fantastic.
The 14 customization points lend themselves to being comfortable because they are made intentionally and not gimmicky.
The forward tilt for active seating is another feature that helps this chair stand out.
This allows individuals to maintain a more engaged posture, leaning forward and not just slouching back.
While the 5D armrests provide high levels of flexibility and adjustability, they feel loose and tend to rattle.
The one downside is some mediocre armrests, but all things considered, this chair is still fantastic.
