[OPEN BOX] Enova ESS Office Chair - Light Grey / 360° 6D Adjustable Gaming Armrests / 135° Self-Weight-Adjusted Recline Mechanism / 6-Step Height-Adjustable Backrest / Integrated Mesh Footrest for Relaxation / BIFMA Certified 136kg Weight Capacity / Foot rest included (Not Covered in Warranty)

The Enova ESS, model ESS4-006A, is a light grey task chair built to the BIFMA furniture standard with a rated seat load capacity of 136kg. Everything from the headrest and seat to the back frame, lumbar panel and footrest is finished in light grey, which gives it a lighter presence than the black gaming chairs it shares its features with.

The armrests are 360 degree 6D units, meaning they rotate a full turn as well as moving through six axes of adjustment. That range lets you swing an armrest out of the way to reach a keyboard tray, bring it in tight for a controller grip, or set it flat under a forearm at desk height. Few office chairs offer this much armrest travel.

The chassis is a 135 degree self-weight-adjusted wire mechanism, which sets recline resistance from your own body weight instead of asking you to turn a tension dial. Push back and the chair meets you with proportionate resistance whoever is sitting in it. That makes it a genuinely sensible choice for a chair shared between people of different builds.

The backrest lifts through six steps, so the height of the whole back panel can be raised or lowered rather than only the headrest. Moving the backrest is what puts the lumbar curve at the right point on your spine, which sits noticeably higher on a tall person. Six increments is enough resolution to land on a good fit.

A footrest is integrated under the seat, finished in light grey with a mesh panel. Mesh is the right material for a footrest because it lets air through rather than trapping heat under your calves, and it stays lighter to swing out and stow away. It pulls out for a break and tucks back so the chair still slides under a desk.

Height adjustment runs on a KGS class 4 gas lift in the 185/85/80 size, finished in black, and the chair stands on a durable chrome metal base. Class 4 is the highest of the common gas lift ratings, and a metal base is stiffer underfoot than nylon, which is what keeps a chair feeling planted rather than springy.

The chair rolls on 60mm casters with black PU treads, which run quietly and are far gentler on laminate and wood than hard nylon wheels. Net weight is 20.58kg, gross weight is 24.28kg, and the carton measures 830 x 440 x 660mm. Worth measuring your lift or stairwell against that box before delivery day.
