Product Information

Doing so reveals a handful of interesting points. First and foremost, although it’s a fairly large piece of furniture, it’s got a delightfully light weight.And yet, the lightness of the chair doesn’t hinder its ability to support an impressive amount of weight. That’s a sign of the quality of the materials Hbada uses in the construction of its office furniture.

The Diamond chair is more than just pretty to look at though; it’s also an amazingly comfortable chair with well-implemented ergonomic features. Not only is the molded saddle-style seat generously padded and well-suited to handling the rigors of heavy daily usage, but the ergonomic support is superb, and in our view, the best feature the chair has to offer. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ These stats define the chair as being one that’s ideally suited to average sized folk. Big and tall chairs typically have a height adjustment range that starts at 18” and extends to 22” or higher, so if you’re a big and tall user, this one isn’t a great fit for you. Is it time to replace your current office chair? Are you on a bit of a budget and looking for something a little off the beaten path? Something that’s got a slightly different and unique look to it?The company’s recliner offers the best features from both of the other two, and falls somewhere in the middle, straddling the line between the average sized and big and tall market, ideal for those who are looking for a good office chair that can also serve as a recliner if and as needs be. Never heard of Hbada? If you live in the United States, we’d be surprised if you had. Although they’re well-known in Europe, they don’t have a huge US presence. That’s a shame in one sense, because the company makes excellent, well-priced products. Not only does the chair have several additional pieces that most other office chairs don’t come with, again, the base is light gauge steel, so wrestling everything into place by yourself can be a bit of a headache. Even better, given its smaller than normal size, it’s a great space saving option, easy to store under any desk when not in use and its relatively small footprint makes it ideal for people who are short on space. If none of the company’s more robust and expensive models are a good fit for you, then this is definitely one to consider. It’s also a great choice for youngsters, or to use as an “extra” chair if you need a spare seat that won’t get used quite as often as your main, go-to office chair. Pros and Cons of the Hbada Office Chairs

While the built-in footrest isn’t as well-padded as the seat, it doesn’t need to be as your feet don’t exert nearly as much pressure on that part of the chair as the rest of you. Plus, the overwhelming majority of people buying this chair will only be using the footrest a tiny portion of the total time the chair is in use. Granted, it would be even better if the model already came with an ottoman or footrest, but if that’s what you’re looking for in particular, Hbada makes another model better suited to your needs. Even so, this is a versatile, well-built chair. If you sit forward, toward the edge of the seat, you’ll be able to reach the floor, but you’ll lose all the benefits of lumbar support. So, if you’re a shorter person, you’re much better off looking for a chair that’s a better overall fit. The company actually has a very good reputation for post-sales service and support, although it should be understood that dealing with an overseas company does present its share of challenges. Even so, the overwhelming majority of people who have dealings with the company’s Customer Service Department report a positive experience, which we reflected here by issuing a slight penalty in terms of overall brand reliability. A kinetic tilt mechanism – the angle of recline varies from one model to the next, but across the brand, you’ll find Hbada chairs reclining from 90 to 120 degrees, and in some cases, up to 150 degrees or more. 120-135 degrees is the industry average range, so the fact that some models exceed this is definitely a nod in the brand’s favor.

All of these are well-implemented, high value features that make this chair a joy to sit in. Although you might think, owing at least in part to its minimalist styling that the chair is a bit too lightweight to make a decent recliner, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that this is incorrect. Although the frame is a light gauge, it is solid steel and is delightfully durable. As you can see, though, this chair is not really suitable for big and tall folk. While the seat height adjustment range does extend part of the way into that territory, the maximum supported weight makes it only marginally useful to that segment of the market and the narrow seat width makes it pretty much a non-starter.

This chair falls somewhere in the middle between the first two we talked about. Its height adjustment range starts well below the Big and Tall category, but extends partway into it, making the model attractive to a broad swath of the market. Having said that, Hbada ergonomic office chairs are mostly self-selecting. Not everyone is a fan of the minimalist European styling, and not everyone wants a mesh office chair, preferring either leather or fabric upholstery. Another noteworthy detail about this model is that although it doesn’t come with a footrest or an ottoman, it does recline to a maximum of 150 degrees. With a little DIY ingenuity, you can rig up a homebrew ottoman and have a passingly good recliner, giving you the means of shifting your position to relax between tasks, which is good for those extended working periods. The only other quibble we have with the design is the seat. While the molded seat design is good and certainly provides some ergonomic benefit, we’d have preferred to see a waterfall edge style seat on this model. It’s a minor thing and not likely to be a deal breaker for anyone, but in our view, it would be a better fit with the chair’s overall design and provide even better ergonomic support. There’s a lot to like about the full line of Hbada Chairs, but as we mentioned earlier, the office furniture they sell is largely self-selecting. You either like the aesthetic, or you don’t. You either want a mesh office chair, or you don’t.Even if you’re not normally a fan of mesh office furniture, Hbada’s Diamond Series of chairs might make you change your mind. They’re stunning.

The combination of the very comfortable headrest and the generous maximum recline angle makes this an excellent impromptu office recliner – again if you’re willing to spend a bit of time engineering your own ottoman. Broadly speaking companies in the office furniture space tend to take one of two basic approaches to the products they sell: They’ll either offer tons and tons of models – each only slightly different and often of wildly varying quality, or they’ll offer a few well-designed products and periodically tweak and improve them. Seat Width: the headrest is also height adjustable and can be removed altogether if you find yourself not wanting or needing it – although 20.5”What we especially like about the Hbada product lineup is the fact that the company has kept the number of available models relatively small, so you’re not overwhelmed by dozens of closely related choices. Hand in hand with that, each model is carefully targeted at a specific segment of the market, so the company winds up offering a little something for everyone, and does so, using only a handful of models.
