Setu
Ultra-simple multipurpose HM—fixed 15" seat depth, 300 lb, almost no knobs.
Bottom line
Buy Setu only if you want an ultra-simple multipurpose HM—not a full dial-in task chair. Fixed ~15" seat depth, 300 lb capacity, Kinematic Spine flex, and fixed arms or armless only. One height adjustment; practical fit roughly 4'10"–6'2". Poor match if you need seat-depth or 4D arms.
Where to buy
