Buro has partnered with retailers across New Zealand and Australia so that you can get up close and personal with the home office chair of your choice. While the internet provides an ocean of options, it’s great to sit before you commit to buying a new chair.

See our list of retailers.

If multiple people use the same home office, consider investing in a chair that features Buro Dynamic Intelligence™ – this technology automatically adjusts to suit each user.

Different body types require different ergonomic adjustments to avoid discomfort and injury. A chair set up for one person might be unsuitable for another, leading to posture problems and musculoskeletal issues. Buro Dynamic Intelligence provides support for anybody who sits in the chair.

Ergonomic office chairs come in many forms, but to truly support your body and mind, they will have adjustable features such as lumbar support, seat height, tilt, and depth. Your home office chair should have enough padding to be comfortable to sit on for extended periods. Breathable fabric materials are preferable to prevent sweating and discomfort.

Back pain from sitting is a common complaint of working from home, but finding the right chair with good lumbar support can transform your experience. Along with finding a chair adjusted correctly for you, it’s also important to regularly stretch the body and take breaks. The Buro range supports bodies and minds to study, work, and feel better for longer.

We recommend standing up and taking a short break every 30 to 60 minutes. Even with an ergonomic chair, being mindful of how much time you’re sitting down is vital. Frequent breaks and changing your position help to prevent muscle fatigue and strain, promoting better circulation and overall health.

Here are some tips for maintaining your Buro chair:

1. Periodically inspect and tighten all bolts, screws, and knobs to prevent wobbling and damage.
2. Clean your chair regularly using materials-appropriate cleaners: upholstery cleaner for fabric, soft cloth for leather, and mild soap for plastic and metal.
3. Use the chair on suitable surfaces, employing protective measures for hardwood floors to prevent wear.
4. Lubricate moving parts if squeaking occurs or mechanisms stiffen, ensuring the lubricant is compatible with the chair’s materials.
5. Adjust settings gently to avoid breaking levers or knobs.
6. Protect your chair from prolonged sunlight exposure to prevent fading and weakening of materials.
