Assembly

The manual goes over every step required to assemble and use the chair. It is very detailed since it contains both images and written instructions.

A digital copy of the assembly manual can be downloaded from Thermaltake's official website. Compared to chairs that have adopted the bucket seat design, this one was a lot easier to assemble. One person can complete the task in just ten minutes.

Initial Impression

At first glimpse, it appears plenty wide for even large users. This chair consists of two major parts: the headrest and backrest with its integrated lumbar-support system for all body types and the seat with its base.


The Cyberchair E500 is of extremely high build quality, although there is a component I don't like, which I will elaborate on later in this review. The materials used are aluminium, nylon, plastic, PU leather, and a carbon fiber stripe.


The black and aluminium colors scheme makes for a business-like feel, and this chair a perfect candidate for an office. At first glance, its design resembles that of well-known ergonomic chairs, and the Cyberchair E500 is supposed to support the body similarly to make using it for longer sessions feasible.


The Cyberchair E500 has an adjustable headrest, an integrated and adjustable lumbar-support system, adjustable seat with base, and an adjustable backrest. Most adjustments are made by using levers.

Additionally, this chair has passed the SGS 100,000 impact fatigue tests and California Technical Bulletin 117 flame resistance test. Both tests suggest that this chair is well built, which would make it part of the office for quite some time if purchased.
