FAQs

Is the Calypso II suitable for an 8-hour workday?

Yes, it is specifically rated for 8 hours of daily use thanks to its deep cushioning and supportive backrest.

Does the chair come with adjustable armrests?

No, this specific model does not feature adjustable armrests.

What does the PCB mechanism do?

The Permanent Contact Back mechanism keeps the backrest in constant contact with your spine, supporting your movement as you change positions.

Can the backrest angle be locked?

Yes, you can fix the backrest at a specific angle or set it to 'free float' depending on your comfort preference.

What type of floor surface is best for the castors?

The twin-wheeled nylon castors are designed for both low-pile carpets and hard floors.

Are there other colours available?

Troubleshooting

Backrest feels loose or wobbly

Tighten the main tension bolt located underneath the seat pan that connects the back mechanism to the chair base.

Gas lift fails to hold height

Ensure the chair is not being overloaded beyond its rated weight capacity; if the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may require replacement.

Castors are not rolling smoothly

Check the wheels for hair or debris build-up and clear the axle pathways to restore mobility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly of the Calypso II is straightforward, involving standard bolt-in components for the base, gas lift, and back mechanism. To ensure longevity, perform a monthly check of all screws to ensure they remain tight. For care, vacuum the upholstery regularly to remove dust, and address spills immediately with a mild upholstery cleaner to maintain the fabric's integrity. Ensure the chair is placed on a level surface to prevent uneven wear on the nylon castors. If moving the chair across hardwood floors frequently, consider using a floor protection mat to keep the castors clean and prevent scuffing.
