Flexispot is a reputable office furniture company focusing on highly ergonomic, high-quality office furniture, so we were excited to try out the company's C7 Lite office chair.
An earlier iteration of the model is one of our selected best office chairs (you can check it out in our Flexispot C7 review). The chair has proved so popular that the company has revitalized the model with the lighter version, the C7 Lite.
But how does it fare against rivals and an original that's earned a place in so many workspaces? We put the C7 Lite to the test.
FlexiSpot C7 Lite: Unboxing & first impressions
The C7 Light is packaged very similarly to the C7. Everything is secure, and the package is relatively small and compact. In the box, there are the chair parts, necessary assembly tools, and the instruction booklet. The instructions are clear and easy to read, helping me assemble the chair in 36 minutes, from unboxing to adjusting the settings to fit me perfectly.
Right away, I noticed simple comfort and decent lumbar support. I could easily adjust the seat height so my legs could comfortably rest on the seat with my feet flat on the ground. If you ask my 5-year-old son, I am 6'1" or 1029'25" (he's pretty good with measuring, but he's also five). I can easily adjust this chair to fit my impossible height. The armrests are comfortable and supportive, and the backrest is breathable and firm. Lastly, the headrest provides support without pushing my head too far forward.

The Flexispot C7 Lite is built with durable foam and mesh backing. This provides support and comfort while allowing the chair to be breathable in warmer workspaces. Especially for those who use this chair in a larger office space, you can't always control the temperature, so making sure your chair is breathable so you don't sweat is a massive benefit.
The overall design is modern and sleek, so this chair will likely fit in with any office design.
FlexiSpot C7 Lite: In use
At the time of writing this review, my team and I had been using this chair in rotation with our collection for 64 days. Over this time, the C7 Lite has remained sturdy and in good shape. For those longer office days, this chair has remained comfortable for hours on end, and so far, nobody has needed to switch out the chair partway through the day or anything like that.
Since I have had a few people use this chair, I have seen just how easy it is to adjust to any one person. The seat height, reclining features, armrests, and so on are easily changed on the fly, even when sitting in a chair. The lumbar and neck supports are easy to adapt and support any height.
While this chair is designed for those who are a bit more petite in stature, I have had myself and several other non-petite-framed individuals sit in and enjoy it for long periods of time.
All in all, this chair has been great to use. I have no real complaints other than it feels like a light chair. It is alright because it also comes at a low price. But, it is good to note that for those interested in the chair.
FlexiSpot C7 Lite: Final verdict
The FlexiSpot C7 Lite delivers exceptional comfort and support for anyone, particularly petite frames, making it a standout choice in the ergonomic chair market. Its combination of adjustability, build quality, and price point makes it an excellent investment for those seeking a more comfortable seating solution. If you are in the market for a new office chair and on a budget, want something lightweight, or are more petite, check out the Flexispot C7 Lite Ergonomic Office Chair.
