Boulies EP600 review: comfortable, highly adjustable office chair

TechRadar reviewer Steve Clark says the Boulies EP600 is a comfortable, highly adjustable office chair suited to long workdays. He found it more comfortable than other Boulies chairs he had tested and used it for work and gaming.

The EP600 has adaptive lumbar support, 6D armrests, an adjustable headrest, a built-in footrest and a hybrid mesh seat. Clark said the armrests were comfortable, but their positions could shift because they do not lock. He also found some adjustment mechanisms fiddly.

Clark used the chair for shifts of up to 12 hours without fatigue or reported squeaks and creaks. The company says it is designed for users between 5'5" and 6'1" tall; Clark, who is 5'9", and his 5'3" wife both found it comfortable for extended sitting.

The chair was listed at $490 in the US and £430 in the UK. At the time of the review, an early Black Friday sale lowered those prices to $410 and £375. Clark said the sale price felt fair for the features, while noting that buyers would need to spend a lot of time at their desk to justify the cost. He also said the EP600 could challenge the FlexiSpot C7 as a mid-range pick if it cost $50 or $100 less.

Assembly took Clark just under 30 minutes. He found the instructions understandable but said clearer step-by-step images could help. The chair has a plastic base, which he wished were metal.
