I have a weird relationship with Sihoo office chairs. At first sitting, I'm rarely a fan (apart from when it comes to the overall best budget chair ever, the Sihoo M18). It may be because they all take an age to assemble. But also I don't think they look very pretty (again, excluding the M18). However, it didn't take long for me to change my mind, especially when I started thinking about what Sihoo chairs offer for the asking price.
The Sihoo C300 Pro – the expensive version of the standard C300 – is kind of a case in point. Sitting in it for the first time felt awkward. But after a few adjustments (of which there are many), I ended up really enjoying it. With a retail price of $699 (though it enjoys regular price dips to $399), the Pro is unlikely to hit the top spot of my list of the best budget office chairs out there (would you please see the M18!!). But I think it's earned a place in the best office chairs for back pain, thanks to its cradling comfort, its solid ergonomics, and fantastic armrests. Let's dig in...
