JYSK KASTBJERG

Pros

• Comfort: Commonly praised for its comfort and ability to provide support for long periods (e.g., 8-hour workday, even a week according to one reviewer). Described as "very comfortable," "cozy," "hugging," "body-hugging," and providing a "relaxing" experience. Multiple reviewers highlight the well-padded seat and backrest; the seat is described as having a very large surface area. The armrests are described as comfortable.
• Build Quality: Often described as "high quality," "sturdy," and "well-made" using "good materials."
• Adjustability: Adjustable armrests (though not height-adjustable in one instance) are a positive feature for some, enabling customization. The backrest can recline, allowing for a more relaxed posture; however, the degree of recline is also a point of contention (see Cons). Height adjustability is also mentioned.
• Ease of Assembly: Generally considered easy to assemble, with some reviewers noting the clear instructions and completing assembly in under 5 minutes. One reviewer even suggested using a 10mm socket wrench instead of the provided Allen key.
• Appearance: Described as "beautiful" and "stylish."

Cons

• Wheels: The wheels are a commonly cited issue, described as poor quality and causing problems with rotation.
• Lumbar Support: Lack of adequate lumbar support is mentioned; some users find it unsuitable for prolonged focused work at a desk. The backrest angle is noted as being too reclined for some users, hindering proper posture and causing the chair to feel unstable and rock backward due to looseness in the locking mechanism. This looseness is reported as a widespread issue across multiple chairs in several stores.
• Heat (Faux Leather): The faux leather version is reported to get warm, even in non-summer months.
• Height: For users taller than 1.78m, the maximum height may be insufficient.
• Squeaking/Creaking: Some reviewers report noticeable squeaking or creaking sounds with movement.
• Armrest Size: One reviewer noted that the armrests could be larger.

Comments

The price is mentioned by one reviewer who felt it was overpriced (€800-€1000), even though they ultimately purchased it. The price fluctuations caused some buyer''s remorse. Another reviewer commented on the chair being better suited for lounging rather than focused work. The chair''s suitability for heavier individuals (100+kg) is explicitly mentioned positively by one reviewer. One reviewer purchased the chair for €150 and considered it a good value given its features.
