I think that the most suitable chair for a Colombian company to sell would be the # 1
model, because although it is not the most economical, it has an affordable price in
the market.
In addition, the chair supports a large amount of weight and it is high, which is
comfortable and ergonomic to work with.
In addition to this, the chair has a one-year warranty and rotates 360 ° for better
reach and displacement within an office.
Finally, the chair does not need assembly as it is armed and sometimes when objects
are not armed, many people do not follow the instructions in the manual and end up
damaging the product.
