FAQs for Buro Diablo Chair
Q: Is the Buro Diablo Chair suitable for sitting for long hours?
A: Yes, the Buro Diablo Chair is designed for 6–8 hours of daily seated use, making it suitable for professionals working in executive offices, boardrooms and home workspaces. Its innovative dynamic seating mechanism encourages natural movement throughout the day, while the contoured backrest provides built-in lumbar support. The adjustable seat height also helps users achieve a comfortable working position, making it an excellent choice for everyday office use.
Q: What is dynamic seating, and how does the Buro Diablo Chair work?
A: The Buro Diablo Chair features an innovative dynamic seating mechanism that allows the seat to respond naturally to your movements, encouraging active sitting rather than a completely static posture. This continuous movement helps promote postural variation throughout the working day. The chair also includes a forward locking function, allowing users to secure the seat when a more stable position is preferred. This makes it particularly practical for computer work, meetings and collaborative office environments.
Q: Does the Buro Diablo Chair provide good lumbar support?
A: Yes, the Buro Diablo ergonomic office chair features a contoured backrest with integrated lumbar support, designed to provide comfortable lower-back support during everyday seated work. Unlike office chairs with adjustable lumbar mechanisms, the Diablo incorporates a fixed, ergonomically shaped backrest. Combined with its dynamic seat movement, this design encourages natural postural changes throughout the day. It is particularly suitable for users seeking a streamlined office chair without complicated adjustment controls.
Q: What is the weight capacity and size of the Buro Diablo Chair?
A: The Buro Diablo Chair supports a maximum user weight of 120kg and is designed for 6–8 hours of daily use. Its overall dimensions are 650mm wide, 630mm deep and 915mm high. The generously proportioned seat measures 500mm wide and 480mm deep, providing comfortable seating space. With an adjustable seat height ranging from 435mm to 530mm, the chair can accommodate various user heights and standard office desk configurations.
Q: Is the Buro Diablo Chair made from genuine leather or PU upholstery?
A: The standard Buro Diablo Chair is upholstered in quality black polyurethane (PU) rather than genuine leather. PU upholstery provides a smooth, professional appearance and an easy-care surface suitable for commercial offices, boardrooms and home workspaces. Unlike genuine leather, PU generally requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Selected alternative fabric, mesh and PU upholstery options are also available by special order for commercial projects.
Q: Can I adjust the seat height, tilt and armrests on the Buro Diablo Chair?
A: The Buro Diablo Chair features gas lift seat height adjustment from 435mm to 530mm, allowing users to position the chair comfortably relative to their desk. Its dynamic seat mechanism also includes a forward locking function. However, the chair does not offer conventional seat tilt, backrest tilt, seat depth or tilt tension adjustments. Fixed armrests are supplied as standard, with an armless configuration available by special order for customers preferring greater freedom of movement.
Q: What is the difference between the Buro Diablo Chair and a traditional ergonomic office chair?
A: The main difference is the Buro Diablo Chair's dynamic active sitting mechanism, which encourages continuous natural seat movement rather than relying on conventional reclining or multi-lever adjustments. Traditional ergonomic task chairs often feature adjustable backrest angles, seat depth and tilt tension. The Diablo instead combines responsive seating, integrated lumbar support and minimalist styling. This makes it particularly appealing for executive offices, contemporary boardrooms and home workspaces where appearance and everyday comfort are equally important.
Q: Does the Buro Diablo Chair require assembly, and is it easy to move around?
A: Yes, the Buro Diablo Chair requires assembly and is supplied in one carton measuring 760mm long, 620mm wide and 400mm high, with a packaged weight of 11.8kg. The chair features a durable black nylon base and 60mm soft PU castors for smooth movement around office workstations. An optional polished aluminium base is also available. The castors provide convenient mobility, although suitability for particular flooring surfaces should be confirmed before use.
Q: What warranty comes with the Buro Diablo Chair, and is it suitable for commercial offices?
A: The Buro Diablo Chair is backed by a 6-year manufacturer's guarantee, providing added confidence for businesses and home office customers. Designed with a 120kg weight capacity and recommended 6–8 hours of daily seated use, it is suitable for boardrooms, executive offices and general professional environments. Its durable construction and quality PU upholstery make it a practical commercial seating option. Warranty coverage remains subject to the manufacturer's applicable terms and conditions.
Q: Can I order the Buro Diablo Chair in different colours, and is delivery available across Australia?
A: The Buro Diablo Chair comes standard in black PU upholstery with a matching black frame, offering a contemporary finish for professional workspaces. Additional options include charcoal fabric mesh, a high-back version, an armless configuration and selected alternative upholstery colours, available by special order. Office Furniture Designs can assist with enquiries for individual chairs and larger commercial fitouts.
