Product questions
What makes the Ergo Chair ergonomic?
It has 6 ergonomic adjustments designed to support good posture, including lumbar support, seat height, backrest tilt, armrest height and seat depth.
Can I adjust the lumbar support for the Ergo Chair?
Yes. The lumbar support can be rotated to match the natural curve of your spine, offering personalised back support throughout the day.
What’s the weight capacity?
The Ergo Chair is rated to support up to 125kg.
Is seat depth adjustable for the Ergo Chair?
Absolutely. The seat cushion can be slid forwards or backwards to accommodate users with longer or shorter thighs, helping reduce pressure behind the knees.
Can I assemble the Ergo Chair by myself?
Yes. It's easy to assemble solo, with clear, step-by-step instructions and all the tools you need.
Does the Ergo Chair have a seat tilt function?
No. The backrest tilts and the seat depth adjusts, but the seat itself doesn't tilt.
Will the Ergo Chair suit my height?
The seat height adjusts from 43-53cm. For the right fit, your feet should sit flat on the floor with your knees at about hip height. To check, stand up and measure from the floor to the back of your knee. If that falls within the seat height range, the chair will suit you.
Removable armrests
Can I attach or remove the armrests on my chair?
Yes. All chairs come with the armrests unassembled, giving you the freedom to attach them, leave them off, or switch them on and off whenever you like. This way, you can set up your chair exactly how it’s most comfortable for you.
Maintenance and longevity
Can the chairs be cleaned easily? How should I clean them?
Absolutely. Keeping your chair looking fresh is super easy. Just give the fabric a light vacuum every now and then (low suction works best) to remove dust or crumbs. For small spills, gently dab the area with a sponge and a mild wool detergent, shampoo, or cleaning fluid. If you rinse with water, make sure not to soak the fabric, just sponge lightly and let it dry completely before using again. Your chair will look as good as new.

Returns and refunds
What's your return policy?
We offer 30-day change-of-mind returns. Just get in touch within 30 days of delivery and we'll cover the return freight. We'll email you a prepaid label to print and stick on the box, or if you're in Sydney, we'll book a courier to collect it, no printing needed.
Once it's back with us, we'll refund your purchase price, minus the shipping paid at checkout. If it's returned unassembled in its original box and packaging, there's no restocking fee. If it's been assembled, a 10% restocking fee applies. See our returns and refunds policy for full details.
This doesn't affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law. If anything is faulty, we'll repair, replace or refund it at no cost to you.
Can I swap for a different colour or finish?
Yes. If your product is still unassembled and in its original box and packaging, we can swap it for a different colourway for a flat $50 fee, which covers collecting it and delivering the new one. Just email us at hello@recess.com.au within 30 days of delivery.
Sustainability
Is Recess furniture sustainable?
We think the most sustainable furniture is the kind you don't have to replace, so we build ours to last and back it with a lifetime warranty on structural parts. Our Studio and Elite ranges use FSC-certified oak, and our furniture is packed in recycled cardboard. See our sustainability page to learn more.
Can I recycle the packaging?
Yes. The cardboard carton can go straight in your household recycling bin. Remove any tape and non-cardboard protective wrap first, and check your local council's guidelines for soft plastics.
