Anyone who spends many hours on Desk usually places value on dynamic seating mechanics and flexible adjustment options. In this comparison we compare two popular upper middle class models: the Postage Pro from hjh OFFICE and the ofinto Active.
Both models cover the basic requirements of a modern ergonomic work chair. This comparison highlights the features, material differences and price structures based on the official product data and specifications.
1. Ergonomics and adjustment options
If you look purely at the ergonomic functions, both chairs offer a very similar equipment package:
-
Synchronous mechanics: Both the Porto Pro and the ofinto Active use a synchro mechanism that can be locked in four positions and allows the seat and backrest to move synchronously.
-
Armrests: Both models are equipped with armrests that can be adjusted in height, depth and angle to relieve strain on the shoulder area.
-
Seat depth & lumbar support: Both an integrated seat depth adjustment (sliding seat) and a height-adjustable lumbar support are part of the basic equipment of both chairs.
Interim conclusion ergonomics: In the category of pure setting options, both models are largely on an equal footing. Both cover the typical requirements for a daily working day (according to the manufacturer, up to 8 hours).
2. Choice of materials, guarantee and workmanship
Differences can be seen in the materials used and the services provided by the manufacturers:
-
Cover & feel: The ofinto Active uses an Italian chenille yarn for the backrest, which has a slightly softer, velvety surface compared to standard mesh fabrics.
-
Guarantee service: The ofinto Active has a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, while hjh OFFICE for the Postage Pro gives a guarantee of 4 years.
-
Base equipment: The Postage Pro is delivered as standard with a polished aluminum base. At ofinto, the material of the base (aluminum or plastic) depends on the color variant chosen.
3. Value for money and evaluation
For a fair evaluation, the features offered must be compared to the purchase price.
-
The ofinto Active With a price of approx. 399 € (as of 09/26) it is in the higher segment of this comparison. This surcharge is primarily explained by the special mesh cover, the Swiss design concept and the long guarantee period of 10 years.
-
The hjh OFFICE Porto Pro is currently available in stores for €289.90 (as of 09/26). It offers almost the same range of ergonomic functions (3D armrests, synchronous mechanism, sliding seat) and includes an aluminum base in the standard version.
Conclusion: The overall result in comparison
Both Office chairs offer solid, ergonomic basic equipment for everyday work. The decision depends on what buyers individually focus on:
Taking all factors into account, the hjh OFFICE Porto Pro the more balanced overall package. Since both chairs offer largely comparable adjustment options in terms of ergonomics, the Porto Pro wins the comparison thanks to its combination of solid features (such as the standard aluminum base) and the noticeable price advantage of over €100.
