The Sidiz T50 office chair confused me at first sight. On one hand, its sleek ergonomic design looks like something with a $1,500 price tag. It’s among the most attractive office chairs I’ve seen on the Australian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on Amazon, it retails for about $540<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world dominated by cheap, disposable office chairs on one side and ridiculously expensive luxury exotics on the other, is the Sidiz T50 the perfect balance of both?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my quest to find Australia’s best office chair<\/a>, I bought one and used it in my office for a couple of weeks.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The results were surprising but not in the way I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sidiz T50<\/a> looks great. Easily one of Australia’s most visually appealing chairs, its design divorces that boring cubicle office chair aesthetic and embraces a sculpted, modern, minimalist look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t love the typical chunkiness of ergonomic chairs, you’ll love the T50. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a distance, the T50 looks like a premium chair that could compete with the likes of Steelcase and Herman Miller.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

(Unfortunately, you realise that the build quality is much less impressive as soon as you touch it. More about this shortly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T50’s synchro-tilt recline mechanism – something I’d expect in a $600 office chair – provides a smooth recline motion that doesn’t lift your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Tip.<\/h3><\/div>

The T50’s armpads will get easily scratched by a cheap standing desk without an anti-collision system. If buying a standing desk, check that it has this feature<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
