Boulies EP500

Hi
First saw your chair at my son in laws studio was impressed with all its features, as I spend a fair bit of time on my computer I thought this would be a ideal replacement for my present aging chair, instructions were very clear to follow also the video link was a bonus, has good movement and adjustments all around hope to enjoy for many a year.

Arrived undamaged in box, easy to assemble with clear and well written instructions, took around 30 minutes.

Chair is very comfortable, especially over long periods and is perfect for my home office.

I’ve been using my EP500 for around a month now, and I’m mostly delighted with it. It’s comfortable and has a huge range of adjustments. If you’re not used to this kind of chair it can feel a little flimsy due its adjustments and “suspension” but rest assured it is in fact very robust. You have to assemble it yourself but it’s easy to do and the instructions are very clear. My only slight complaint is that the gas lift is quite short so I sit slightly lower than my old chair (even on the maximum height); I’ve got used to it now but a gas lift with more height adjustment would have been appreciated.

The adaptive lumbar support will push you forwards a bit, which felt odd at first, but I got used to it after a while. I think it would be better if there were an option to lock or release the lumbar section, so it could stay fixed when needed. I probably wouldn’t recommend it if you’ve got a particularly sensitive lower back.
Apart from that, it’s a really comfortable chair. I like being able to lift the armrests out of the way and sit cross-legged, and the seat feels nice and roomy.

The chair was straightforward enough to put together, and once everything was tightened it felt properly stable. I’ve used it for full workdays, including calls and reading, and the foam seat still feels comfortable after a few hours. Those control levers are smooth, and the wheels roll quietly without catching on the floor.
It did take me a little while to get used to the lumbar support and find a position that felt comfortable, so I’d probably give the chair itself four stars, but the support team were responsive and very helpful, so the overall experience deserves five.
