Best praise vs top criticism for Okamura Contessa II
βTons of chair brands have the lock, but the contessa is far and away the best at it with the awesome armrest controls they implemented. But, outside of the big 3 (4 imo with AllSteel but whatever) and Humanscale most chairs worth their snuff have tilt lock. So youβll be able to throw a rock and find a chair with tilt lock. But here are some others to look for are SitOnIt Focus chairs, HON chairs normally have that functionality, Bodybilt/Neutral Posture/Ergocentric chairs can be found with headrest and have independent back and seat lock which is an interesting and kind of nice design, AllSeating You is a chair I personally love and it has it.β
βcontessa is fine chair. but its so overpriced i d not go for it. Unless used. There are few brands that build simmilar chairs. Razer Fujin, Neuve chair, ZHUO Mavenβ
