Niceday Berlin on Viking Direct

whore

On sale again here. I ordered 2 and it cost me 96 euro so 48 each but i did get free delivery for my order being over 75 euro. Anyone i've heard talking about these chairs say they're the dogs bollix in terms of comfort so great deal if (lol) you use your pc a lot.

How adjustable is this chair. Is looks like you can adjust the height, but can you adjust the tilt of that back and keep it at the angle you prefer ?

You can adjust the height and thats it. IF you lean back the chair angle will change but you cant adjust the back itself.
Its an ok price. Ive had one for a year but I use a cushion on it seat as its a bit hard. Its grand for what you pay.

You cannot adjust the height and you can't really adjust the tilt. You either have it set that the back doesn't move or that it tilt's every time you move back.

OK - Thanks for the information. Probably not the best option for someone who works from home 2 days a week and needs good back support....

You cannot adjust the height

Weird - it looks like there is an adjustment handle on the picture :


What's the handle for then ?

Definitely not. Good as a casual chair but nothing more

Tragedy

They're cheap and cheerful. They aren't amazing value as they've been between €40 and €50 in various forms for about 8 years at this stage.

Back is uncomfortable for me as the support seems designed for someone shorter, seat cushion doesn't wear the best, construction overall is average(being generous) and the curved arms are uncomfortable.

The handle adjusts the height, there is a gas lift cylinder inside. Maybe Keano is thinking of the Malaga?

You can adjust the height. I have one of these.

whore

offer is over now

breathn

I have one of these, got it for a little cheaper on a previous bargain alert from here (thanks).

It's a grand chair, can be adjusted up and down. There's something that makes the back tilt too.

TPD

I've still got one of these from the last appearance on Bargain Alerts, or maybe even the one before that. Pretty sure it was 30-40ish euro. Good chair, use it every day and it's going strong.

Oracle

Offer isn't over, still available for €40. Have to say I find this chair very comfortable, I have it for years. It has enough support for all day work. Although I have the older model Berlin it has padded armrests.

There's also the Thames for €45: http://www.vikingdirect.ie/catalog/catalogSku.do?id=QD3-5311476&cm_cat=2000000351

and the Hudson for €50: http://www.vikingdirect.ie/catalog/catalogSku.do?id=5311107&pr=Q81

Could be but the handle at the bottom of mine just adjusts the tilt.

@deadlock - I work at home and the chair is comfortable and I have no problems with it.

The handle on mine does both. Pull it out to tilt freely, push it in to lock it upright, lever it up to raise/lower the chair like any other computer chair.

Jebus - lots of conflicting reports !

Maybe I should just ring them and ask about it !

whore

deadlock i had a simular chair before, you pull up the handle and it raises or lowers the chair depending on the weight being put on it, so if you're sitting it goes down, if nothing is on it the chair goes up. if you pull out the handle the chair is then able to tilt, you can't lock the tilt at any angle, it just free tilts with you. keano seems to have a different chair that doesn't raise or lower.

I'm sitting on one right now, the height is adjustable. chair goes up/chair goes down. Once your not sitting on it

deadl0ck

OK - Just so people know - I rang Viking and they confirmed that the chair is only height adjustable.
There is no tilt adjustment on the chair back

Voodu Child

So can set it so that it is locked in the upright position, or else free floating so that you can tilt it back. However you can't lock it in a reclining position. It would be good if it had that but it doesnt.

Still good value, and its fairly sturdy too. Ive tipped mine over a few times and it hasnt fallen apart yet.

whore

well i just got mine there and i'm leaning back on it as we speak :P definatly has a tilt despite what viking said to deadlock, still has padded arm rests too and it only took me 10 minutes to set it up

deadl0ck

I know it can lean back - but can the tilt be locked in any position ?

Tabnabs

No, it can only be locked in the upright position.

Doge

Have this a few years now, and since it has lost its softness, I noticed I've been getting a pain in my tail bone from sitting down on it.

Has anyone else who owns this chair noticed a pain their tailbone also?

The pain is like a "bruising pain", its the best to describe it.

Been using a cushion to soften it lately

I switched to another chair for a while and I noticed the pain went away.

Bumping this thread for the sole reason of getting feedback from other owners.


Edit: I also think it is worth not locking this thread,
in case someone else is experiencing the same pain, and are not aware of the source of it.
