The Activ has a frontal-pivot synchronous mechanism that promotes Dynamic Sitting.
Dynamic sitting occurs in an office chair that is fitted with a mechanism that allows the angle between the backrest and seat to change. By continuously changing this angle, you automatically stimulate, or activate various muscles in your lower back, core and legs. As a result, the blood flow through these muscles increases, bringing oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles and carrying away the waste products of muscle metabolism. By doing so, muscle fatigue and it’s associated pain is reduced, particularly in the lower back, core and legs.
A synchro mechanism ensures that the movement of the backrest is always greater than that of the seat.
This tilt mechanism allows the seat and backrest to move relative to each other in a fixed 2:1 ratio.
In other words, for every 1 degree that the seat tilts, the backrest will move 2 degrees in the same direction.
We offer free returns or exchanges within 14 days of purchase.

Very good and professionalPosted on Busenati Mwati11/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a bit hesitant to buy an office chair online without trying it first, but my experience with Karo has completely exceeded my expectations. I received my OrthoMax Orthopedic Chair just over a week ago, and honestly, it's been a game-changer for my posture and comfort. However, what really made this a 10/10 experience was the process. The website made purchasing easy, and true to their word, the chair arrived fully assembled — no struggling with screws and manuals! I also had a few specific questions before buying, so I reached out via WhatsApp. Their sales support was absolutely brilliant; they addressed every query thoroughly and made me feel confident in my choice. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase. If you're on the fence, go for it. Amazing product and top-tier service.Posted on Yolandi Rabie11/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would Really recommend Karo. The desk was delivered quickly and effortlessly. The desk is really good quality and I enjoy it’s pre set settings.Posted on Yushir Maharaj10/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently bought the Fenix Ergonomic Office Chair and I’m very happy with it. After using it for daily work at my desk, it’s been comfortable from day one and works great for long hours. The adjustable lumbar support and armrests make a big difference, and the mesh back feels strong and supportive when leaning back. Delivery was smooth and easy and the chair arrived fully assembled, so it was just a matter of removing the packaging and using it right away. Instructions were clear and included a helpful YouTube guide for the adjustments. Customer service was excellent and communication throughout the process was clear and professional. Overall a great chair and a great buying experience from Karo. Highly recommended.Posted on Kim van Schoor09/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Kyle van Niekerk09/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best experiences I have ever had buying a product online ever. The delivery times, the friendliness, and the quality of the product are significantly above most in South Africa. Let's also talk about the value for money. Will definitely be recommending Karo and lelia chair in the future.

Ilse –
I ordered the Activ Ergonomic Office Chair (with headrest) together with the Flexi Footrest from Karo online and couldn’t be happier from quick responses, prompt delivery and excellent product quality. Both items are sturdy, comfortable and exactly as described, the Chair’s quality exceeded my expectations and it was packaged with care. I absolutely love all the different settings on the chair, from armrests to back support and head comfort. BEST BUY!!

The ordering process was easy to understand and the delivery in Pretoria was relatively quick. I ordered my Activ Ergonomic Office Chair with headrest on a Monday, the order was processed on Tuesday, and delivered to my residence fully assembled on Wednesday. I am extremely happy with my purchase, as well as the service delivery as a whole. Thank you for this amazing product!
