Product Information
Full details
The Calypso II High Back Chair is designed for office professionals and remote workers who require consistent lumbar support throughout a standard 8-hour workday. Its primary benefit is the adaptable Permanent Contact Back (PCB) mechanism that maintains ergonomic alignment during various tasks, though users should note that the arms are fixed and cannot be adjusted for height or width.

FAQs
Is the Calypso II suitable for 24/7 use?
No, this chair is rated for up to 8 hours of daily use. Continuous use beyond this will lead to faster wear of the cushioning and mechanical components.
Can I adjust the armrest height?
No, the Calypso II comes with fixed armrests that are set at a standard height.
Does the chair have a locking mechanism?
Yes, you can lock the backrest in a specific position or set it to free float depending on your preference.
What kind of floor surfaces can the castors be used on?
The twin-wheeled nylon castors are suitable for both carpeted and hard-floor surfaces.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment for regular cleaning and a damp cloth with mild soap for light spot cleaning.
Troubleshooting
The chair feels unstable or wobbles
Check all under-seat bolts and ensure they are fully tightened. Also, ensure the central gas lift is firmly inserted into the base.
Backrest tension is too loose or too tight
Locate the tension adjustment knob usually found under the seat; rotate clockwise to increase resistance and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Castors are not rolling smoothly
Inspect the wheels for trapped debris, hair, or carpet fibers. Carefully pry out any obstructions to restore mobility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the Calypso II requires standard tools (often included) to connect the base, gas lift, seat mechanism, and backrest. For optimal compatibility, ensure your desk height allows your elbows to rest at a 90-degree angle while your feet are flat on the floor, as the fixed armrests cannot be changed. To care for your chair, vacuum the fabric upholstery regularly to remove dust, and use a soft, damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the fabric or the nylon base components. Periodically check that all screws are tightened to maintain the structural integrity of the frame.
