This charcoal walnut Elabest X100 is a full-mesh desk chair with a footrest built in, and it is designed for people who work long days but like a quick lie-back between tasks. The 46 cm footrest extends and tilts to two angles, while the chair itself keeps proper task adjustments: dynamic lumbar, a 3D headrest and 5D armrests that flip up. This listing names a grade 4 gas lift.

- Recline
- 3 stages to 120°
- Lumbar
- 3D, height, depth, angle
- Armrests
- 5D, flip-up
- Max load

In its favour
- The lumbar adjusts about 4 cm in depth, 5 cm in height and 15° in angle, more control than most footrest chairs.
- Seat height runs from 46.5 to 58.5 cm, and Elabest quotes a fit range of about 155 to 190 cm.
- The 5D armrests adjust in height, width, depth and rotation, then flip up 90° to clear the desk.
Good to know
- Recline stops at 120°, shallower than several rivals here, so it is less of a lie-back chair.
- The 136 kg rating is moderate for a chair aimed at long sessions.
Our take
Using the footrest
The footrest slides out to 46 cm, one of the few on these chairs with a stated length, and sets at two angles. Paired with a three-stage recline that stops at 120 degrees, it gives a relaxed position for reading or a short rest, without becoming a full recliner. Push it back in and the chair returns to a normal desk chair.
Lumbar and arm control
The lumbar module tracks your spine and can be tuned within roughly 4 cm of depth, 5 cm of height and 15 degrees of angle, which is more control than most footrest chairs give. The arms adjust in height, width, depth and rotation, then flip up 90 degrees. Flipping them up lets the chair slide right under a desk, which helps in a compact home office.
The headrest moves 5.8 cm vertically, tilts 45 degrees and has 75 degrees of forward and back movement.
Fit, mesh and support
Seat height ranges from 46.5 to 58.5 cm, and Elabest suggests users from about 155 to 191 cm. Seat depth is listed as 46.5 cm on this version and is not adjustable. The AirMesh back is said to offer more airflow and elasticity than standard mesh. Elabest quotes EN 1335 and BIFMA compliance, 260,000 durability cycles, a 136 kg load and 5 years of product support.
Footrest chairs compared
The Hbada E3 Air with footrest reclines further, to 140 degrees, and sets tension automatically, rated to 150 kg. The Hbada P5 has a sprung seat and a 135 degree recline in a more compact chair, but its arms only move in height. The Flexispot ErgoX with footrest adds a 6 cm seat slide. The X100 is the pick for the most adjustable lumbar and arms.
Verdict
Choose the Elabest X100 if you want a full task chair with a defined footrest and highly adjustable lumbar and arms. If you want a deeper recline for proper rests, the Hbada E3 Air with footrest goes further, and if seat depth adjustment is key, the Flexispot ErgoX with footrest suits better.
