A Closer Look - Backrest

The backrest is 55 cm (21.7") wide and 82 cm (32.3") long, and by such, seems to offer enough space to accommodate large users. It also feels smooth, and its foam density is 25 kg/m³. The adjustable pillows nicely augment its comfort. The Verona V2 has an integrated, lightweight metal frame, which one can actually feel by squeezing the top of the backrest or the backrest's flaps. The company states that this model can hold a body weight of up to 140 kg (308.64 lb). Since we do not have someone above 100 kg (220.46 lb) in our lab, we can only state that such a weight limit seems to be enough to accommodate heavier users.

The backrest is mostly black. This is actually a great choice since it will keep most of the filth away, at least visually! We like the white color on the flaps and the holes for the lumber-pillow straps.


The backrest's angle can be set to anything between 90-160 degrees via a lever with a grip under the chair's right side. At 160 degrees, the backrest is almost level with the seat's base. One could, as such, opt to take a short nap on this chair, between intense gaming sessions.


The brand's name makes several appearances on the Verona V2.


The Arozzi brand is, for instance, embroidered into the headrest. Right next to it is also a capital "A" in a red calligraphic font, which sets it apart from the rest. This stitching pattern is occasionally flawed right where the logo appears, but those flaws are minor and hardly matter to most users. All other stitching seems to have been meticulously done.


The company's name and a calligraphic "A" is also found on the other side of the backrest. The make-up is the same as before, with white stitching for all but a stylized capital "A" in red. Finally, at the rear and top of the backrest, we again find the company's brand in the same color combination.


We found a minor stitching flaw along the upper side of one of the two zippers of the backrest. This is obviously due to a human error and a fault hopefully only our sample suffers from.

A Closer Look at the Seat Base

The seat's base is 54 cm (21.3 ") deep and 47 cm (18.5 ") wide. These dimensions make the seat large enough for most users.


The seat's height ranges from 42-50 cm (16.5-19.7 ") off the floor and can be adjusted via a lever on the right side, under the seat. More specifically, the lever is behind the seat's side cover, almost at the rear of the backrest. Since our hand subconsciously moves in a straight line parallel to our shoulders when searching for a lever, we believe that this lever would be better off in a straight line down from the armrest. This same lever can also be used for the tilt lock/free feature. Another lever at the left side of the chair can be used for the tilt lock/free feature as well.


The seat's cushioning seems adequate at a foam density of 40-45 kg/m³, which can be classified as somewhere in the middle of hard and soft. The edges of the seat's base are raised, which could have some larger users feel confined. For normal users, though, the seat's raised edges will help with keeping a straight body posture. The seat's base is also mostly black, though there are white stripes along its raised edges, at the front of the seat's base and where the base and backrest meet. A white "cord" also surrounds the base; it actually runs along the chair's entire outer perimeter.


Three elastic bands under the seat's base offer some extra support for large-boned users. Combined with the metal frame, this makes for a strong combination of comfort and support for longer working or gaming sessions.


There are two further mentions of the brand on the seat's plastic bits on the sides of the chair.

Armrests

The armrests are 2D and can be adjusted in height only. Their indentations embrace one's forearms nicely. They are wrapped in the same PU leather as the chair, are pretty solid, and feel soft enough.


A button on the outer side of these armrests is used to adjust their height, which can range from 65-81 cm (25.6-31.9 ") off the floor. The pad itself cannot be moved forward or backward, and we cannot adjust its angle either.

Hydraulics

Under the seat is the metal tilt mechanism with a knob to loosens or tighten the chair's tilt. The metal class 4 gas lift is responsible for all height adjustments and the rocking function. The Verona V2 also has the ability to swivel by 360 degrees.


The dust-sleeve cover seems to be thick enough to stay put without deteriorating at all over even a longer period of time.

Five-Star Base And Caster Wheels

The five-star base is made out of plastic and seems rather sturdy. It is black and has a matte finish.


The caster wheels are big and thin enough, but slide way too easily, especially on smooth surfaces. Since they slide so easily on a smooth surface, we tried pushing the chair around on a pretty thick carpet, and it had no problems moving around on such a surface either.

Support Cushions

As has already been mentioned, two cushions are included in the bundle. Both are covered by the same upholstery than the rest of the chair. They are mostly black, but have two white geometrical shapes on each side. The Arozzi brand is embroidered into these, and as before, an additional capital "A" in a calligraphic red font is also present. Both pillows bear straps that wrap around the chair. As such, both cushions can be removed. The lumbar-support cushion is not as soft initially, but is as comfortable as expected. The neck-support pillow seems to be softer in comparison and is placed optimally for users of both short and average height.
