Hinomi X1 Chair Review

The Hinomi X1 is an ergonomic office chair that wouldn’t look out of place on the bridge of a spaceship.

Today we put it to the test and find out.

Pros:

• Modern, clean design that will suit office and gaming environments alike.
• Wide range of adjustability.
• Good quality footrest.
• Sturdy and comfortable footrest.
• Hinomi have a showroom located in London for trying products before purchasing.

Cons:

• Flimsy armrests which rotate far too easily.
• Headrest height adjustment needs to have a locking mechanism.
• Click lock mechanisms on the back and headrest do not feel very good quality.

KitGuru says: The X1 may be the most adjustable chair we've ever tested, but it's let down by flimsy armrests and headrest.
