TechRadar Review Praises Boulies EP600 Adjustability, Questions Full-Price Value

Boulies sells the EP600 direct for $490 in the U.S. and £430 in the U.K., according to TechRadar. The chair comes in light gray and black with a hybrid mesh cover. At the time of the review, Boulies was running an early Black Friday sale that cut the price to $410 or £375. The reviewer said that at the discount the chair was a fair price given features including a built-in footrest and 6D armrests, and that it sat within the price range of the FlexiSpot C7.

The review highlighted the EP600's adjustment range. It has a two-part backrest with an upper shoulder rest and 4D adaptive lumbar support, both height-adjustable, plus 6D armrests and a convex headrest. Boulies says the chair is built for users between 5 feet 5 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall; the reviewer, at 5 feet 9 inches, found it comfortable in the mid-range setting, and said a 5-foot-3-inch user also had no issues sitting for extended periods.

TechRadar's reviewer said the chair remained supportive throughout long workdays and also worked well for several gaming sessions. The main criticisms were that some fine-tuning controls were fiddly and unintuitive, and that the armrests did not fully lock into place. The reviewer also said the plastic base was a letdown at the price and wished it were metal.

Assembly took a little under 30 minutes, with screws and a hex key included, according to the review. The instructions were understandable but could be clearer for first-time builders, and the reviewer recommended assembling the chair in the room where it will be used because it is heavy enough to be awkward to move after construction. Once assembled, the chair produced no squeaks or creaks, the review said.

TechRadar gave the EP600 a value score of 4 out of 5 and an assembly score of 4 out of 5. The review concluded that the chair does everything most people need and includes features some users did not know they wanted, but that its full price is best justified by people who sit at a desk all day. The reviewer said that if the chair were $50 to $100 cheaper, it would easily topple the FlexiSpot C7 as the top mid-range pick.
