WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Soji puts money into a 2.5-inch depth slider, useful seat-height range, optional 4D arms/lumbar/forward tilt, commercial build and a 12-year warranty. It avoids decorative executive-chair materials and arrives assembled. Specify the ergonomic options rather than leather; that is where its real value lies.

IDEAL FOR

·Midrange long-term buyers
·Users 5'7–6'4
·Firm/flat seat preferences
·Forward-tilt desk work

NOT FOR

·Very petite users without a trial
·Plush-seat seekers
·Users needing multi-stop recline lock

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Simple, polished and easy to understand. The flat, firm seat permits position changes, while the mesh back keeps the silhouette light. Recline lacks multi-position lock, and a gap can open between arms and back at full recline.
