Which type of workspace are you creating?
A chair should fit you, not force you to fit it
The Karo Adjustability Rating measures how many independent adjustments a chair offers. The greater the points of adjustment, the easier it is to fine-tune the chair to suit your body and how you like to sit.
- Compare chairs using one consistent measure
- See which adjustments actually matter to your body
- Choose more precisely than by appearance or price alone

Before you buy an office chair or standing desk, get the answers
The Knowledge Centre covers the questions people ask when choosing an ergonomic chair, standing desk or healthier workspace.
What makes an office chair ergonomic?
An ergonomic chair lets you adjust key parts of the chair to suit your body and working position. Seat height, seat depth, backrest, lumbar support and armrests can all affect how comfortably you sit.
What is the right height for my office chair, desk and monitor?
The correct office chair height is when your feet are flat on the floor, your knees are slightly below the level of your hips, and your elbows are bent at approximately 90° and can rest comfortably on the arm pads. Find out more.
How do I choose the right office chair?
Start with your body size, weight, working hours and support needs. Then compare the chair's adjustments, weight rating, warranty and price.
Use our Chair Selector to find your chair.
How much should an ergonomic office chair cost?
Price varies with the chair's construction, materials, mechanism, adjustment range and warranty. Compare what you get rather than comparing price alone.
Can I try a Karo chair or standing desk before buying?
Yes. You can visit the Karo showroom at 3 Platinum Road, Spartan Ext 16, Kempton Park and compare chairs and desks in person.
