Okamura Contessa II review
Detailed review of Okamura Contessa II (Seconda) highlighting its 2016 design origins and comparing it to modern ergonomic philosophy. Reviewer criticizes the fixed backrest design, limited lumbar support adjustability (vertical only, no depth), and only 4-stage tilt adjustment. Praises build quality and armrest controls but finds the lumbar support uncomfortable with narrow contact point, and considers it overpriced at 2M+ KRW for what it offers.
Pros
- Excellent build quality and craftsmanship
- Beautiful aesthetic design
- Convenient armrest height and tilt adjustment without leaning forward
- Decent cushioning and QC
Cons
- Lumbar support lacks depth adjustment (only vertical), narrow contact point with rounded surface
- Fixed backrest doesn't allow movement, outdated design philosophy
- Only 4-stage tilt lock adjustment makes finding right tension difficult
- Without lumbar support, mesh back doesn't maintain posture well
- Poor value at 2M+ KRW price point
- Large gaps between lumbar height adjustment stages
