QUERSUS XEOS check: packaging and meeting

QUERSUS packs the XEOS gaming chair in a plain, brown cardboard field. Several photographs of the product and the product identify are printed on it in black. The producer doesn’t place any technical data on the field. Inside, all the person elements have been neatly wrapped in cardboard and bubble wrap or separated into totally different layers. Despite a complete weight of 25 kilograms, all elements survived transportation to the entrance door with out harm or scratches.

Once you’ve gotten freed all the person elements from their protecting sheathing and lined them up subsequent to one another, you can begin the meeting. QUERSUS prints an summary of all elements, the required meeting steps, some illustrations for adjusting the armrests and security directions on a leaflet product of laminated paper.

Although I’ve by no means assembled a gaming chair like this earlier than, the meeting took solely 15 to twenty minutes and was quite simple. Admittedly, I didn’t use the equipped Allen key for meeting, however a correct screwdriver. With the device equipped, the set up will surely have taken 10 to fifteen minutes longer. It was additionally sensible that the majority the required screws have been pre-assembled within the right locations.

The first step was to connect the second armrest to the seat. Then the backrest and the facet cowl caps have been connected. Next, the bottom with the rocking mechanism was connected to the underside of the seat and the bottom was fitted with the castors. The last step was to insert the gasoline stress spring into the bottom and place the ready seat on high. Assembly full.

Design and workmanship

QUERSUS solely presents the XEOS in easy colour variants. The colours of the material variations are black, gray and sand and the fake leather-based model is simply accessible in black. You received’t discover any wild patterns, significantly vibrant colour accents or eye-catching logos on this chair. Only the overall form of the chair is paying homage to a traditional gaming chair. Nevertheless, in our opinion, the XEOS can be visually appropriate to be used in a traditional workplace.

The seat and backrest are virtually fully coated with a black-greyish (Onyx Black) material, which the producer advertises as “Soft Hydrophobic Fabric” (SHF). The material is tender and easy and feels very nice to the contact. It can be stated to be water-repellent and non-flammable. A cloth known as “Nano Fabric Suede” (NFS) can be used between the back and front in addition to on the facet of the seat. This material is totally black and is an imitation suede, which can be very tender and nice to the contact.

QUERSUS locations the producer’s emblem within the higher part of the backrest on each the back and front. In each instances, it’s embroidered with a black thread. As a consequence, the emblem is under no circumstances obtrusive and matches in with the easy look of the XEOS. A neck cushion can be included, which could be connected to the higher a part of the backrest utilizing an elastic band.

In phrases of common construct high quality, the QUERSUS positively has nothing to cover from the competitors. The alternative of supplies within the padding space is superb and all seams are flawless. There was solely a small dent within the upholstery on the higher left facet of the backrest. It was not attainable to find out whether or not this was attributable to one other ingredient within the field or whether or not this fault occurred when the chair was being upholstered. Not tragic however there are nonetheless deductions within the B grade.

The remainder of the fabric choice is strong and corresponds to the goal worth vary. The plastic and rubber parts used don’t look low-cost and usually are not badly made. The black base, which, based on the producer, is comprised of a steel-reinforced composite materials, additionally seems steady and sturdy. However, the mechanism for unlocking the rocker mechanism is considerably rickety and quite simple. But extra on this within the following chapter.

QUERSUS XEOS in a sensible check: consolation and options

Of course, a superb gaming or workplace chair shouldn’t be with out sure (consolation) options. This clearly consists of the flexibility to regulate the seat top. According to the producer, that is between 48 and 60 centimetres. For folks underneath 1.60/1.65 meters tall, this isn’t low sufficient with out an extra footrest. The seat top is adjusted utilizing a easy lever product of black-painted metal with a plastic deal with. The producer has positioned this on the right-hand facet and printed easy directions on it.

That alone wouldn’t be too unhealthy at first. However, the identical lever can be used to unlock the rocker operate by merely pulling it outwards. The primary downside right here is that the lever doesn’t interact when the rocker operate is locked or unlocked and is subsequently comparatively wobbly. If you continue to attempt to use the rocker mechanism when it’s locked, it rattles and you may actually really feel the pressure on the metal lever. In addition, the rocker mechanism can’t be locked repeatedly.

The rocking operate of the QUERSUS XEOS in any other case works very properly, however has a relatively excessive tilt resistance ex works. If required, this may be decreased utilizing a rotary management beneath the seat. The backrest may also be tilted as much as an angle of 150 levels. The lever required for that is additionally positioned on the right-hand facet of the seat.

3D armrests and quiet castors

If you go for the QUERSUS XEOS, you’ll sadly should make do with 3D armrests. They are height-adjustable, could be turned inwards or outwards and moved forwards or backwards. Unfortunately, it isn’t attainable to maneuver the armrest inwards or outwards. They are usually product of black plastic and are rubberized on the highest. The rubber additionally provides approach barely in order that the forearms or elbows are relieved of among the pressure.

QUERSUS opted for 5 plastic castors, however these have a barely more durable rubber coating. As a consequence, the chair is comparatively quiet when transferring on totally different surfaces and rolls very properly total. Whether this can nonetheless be the case in a number of years’ time is after all not one thing we are able to assess on this check.

The common sitting consolation could be rated nearly as good to excellent. I used to be capable of spend lengthy days within the residence workplace on this chair with out my buttocks or thighs hurting. In common, nonetheless, you need to be a good friend of considerably more durable seats or upholstery. The rocking operate ensures that your again retains transferring somewhat and that you just change place commonly.

QUERSUS XEOS check: Conclusion

Now that we’ve got taken an in depth take a look at the QERSUS XEOS, let’s transfer on to the conclusion. We significantly preferred the easy, office-ready look and the wonderful alternative of supplies. The XEOS has respectable seating consolation and strong consolation features. The total package deal is rounded off by quiet and well-functioning castors and really simple meeting.

The construct high quality of the QUERSUS XEOS can be excellent, apart from one small blemish. Despite the lower cost vary, the producer ought to place a stronger give attention to high quality management right here. Further compromises should be made when it comes to the performance of the armrests (3D solely) and the texture of the peak adjustment lever. This feels very low-cost and the locking mechanism for the lean operate can be quite simple. In addition, the seat can solely be locked in a single place when the rocker operate is free and can’t be locked in any place.

In phrases of worth, the QUERSUS XEOS is € 349.00 * within the strong mid-range. There are chairs which can be cheaper, however there are additionally some that value considerably extra. If you’re searching for a very easy workplace chair, however don’t need to do and not using a contact of a gaming look and may address 3D armrests, the rickety lever for top adjustment and the marginally more durable upholstery, the QUERSUS XEOS could possibly be one thing for you.
