The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 aims to keep the premium chair styling of some of Sihoo’s other chairs while also being a bit more wallet-friendly. Not everyone has north of $1,000 to drop on an ergonomic chair, and for those who do, they likely don’t want to spend it on just any chair; they want to make sure it’s a good value.
That’s where the C300 Pro V2 comes in. This chair obviously reminds me a lot of the other Sihoo Doro chairs I have tested. But it also reminds me of the Hinomi line of chairs, with a thousand areas to adjust to make it comfortable.
Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2: Unboxing and First Impressions
My unboxing experience for the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 was unique in a few ways. First of all, I had to have two delivered. My first model had a damaged wheel, but when flagging to Sihoo, they sent me a second chair.
Once I got the second chair, I had just assembled one of the fastest and easiest chairs (of the ones I had to actually assemble, some come fully assembled), so my tolerance for building is slightly tweaked. That being said, assembly took a full 30 minutes, with about 8 minutes just for unboxing everything. Sihoo has always been a company with many pieces, and they ensure that every piece is properly packaged individually, resulting in a lot of material to remove from the individual elements before assembly.
While assembling, I noticed that the letters on the included diagram did not match anything on the pieces, but instead matched the diagram. I then had to refer to the diagram to confirm which screw type to use, for example. Also, I was slightly frustrated and slowed down by having to use the included hand tool instead of my Hoto Tools screwdriver.
Once built, the chair feels high-quality, the materials seem likely to last, and there’s no squeaking or creaking. So now the question remains, is the build time worth the comfort of the chair? I think it’s worth consideration.
Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2: Design & Build Quality
The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 is mostly a sleek, elegant white mesh, with a PU-coated armrest and a rigid frame. The chair itself is quite comfortable, all while looking very modern and clean. It’s not your average office chair, nor your average cheap Amazon home office seat. Nay, this is a high-brow, powerful-feeling office chair that feels like it belongs in NASA, not in a home office.
