The Flexispot BS5 Chair Review
Not all ergonomic chairs are pretty, and even fewer pretty chairs are really ergonomic. But the Flexispot BS5 chair is a good-looking chair that definitely gives ergonomics a good bash. There are many reasons to consider it if you’re looking for a new chair, but its main flaw may just be a deal-breaker for you (it is for me).
Design & Aesthetics
This is where the BS5 shines. I love the light green, but the BS5 also comes in cream (almost pink). In both, the look is chic, with the main colour being in the mesh back and seat, echoed in the top of the arm rests. It’s a great touch, and one that has also been applied to other great chairs out there, like Branch’s Ergonomic Chair Pro.
Ergonomics
Ah, this was so nearly a really good ergonomic chair. Let’s start with the positives. I really like the set, mesh lumbar support. I know that a lot of what makes a chair ergonomic is the adjustability, but I also know that companies overcomplicate the lumbar support as a selling point – when all you need is a comfortable support of the lower spine. The BS5 does this, and there was a satisfying structure to the lower back support here.
Delivery & Assembly
The Assembly of the Flexispot BS5 is a no-hassle affair. I like that the chair comes in only 7 main pieces, and it was definitely one of the quicker, easier chairs to put together.
Price
Here’s one of the BS5’s big selling points. It’s retail price is only $180, though you can get it even cheaper with the frequent deals that Flexispot offers.
Conclusion
The Flexispot BS5 is a chair that has a lot going for it, but its main flaws may just be a deal-breaker for many. While it’s a great value proposition, I still think it’s not the best choice for an ergonomic chair. If you’re in the market for a new chair, I would recommend considering other options.
