The Elabest X100 is aimed at hybrid workers who want one chair for focused desk time and quick breaks. Its seat height reaches 58.5 cm, one of the highest ranges among office chairs here, which suits tall users and anyone using a raised desk. A 46 cm extendable footrest, a dynamic lumbar that moves in three ways and flip-up 5D arms complete a package built around flexibility.

In its favour
- Seat height runs from 46.5 to 58.5 cm, a 12 cm range that reaches higher than most chairs.
- The 3D headrest moves 5.8 cm up and down and tilts, so it can meet a tall neck.
- A 46 cm pull-out footrest helps if you raise the seat high to match a tall desk.
Good to know
- This version lists a grade 3 gas lift, while the sister listing names grade 4, so check before ordering.
- The 45.7 cm seat depth is not adjustable, which may feel short for long thighs.
Our take
Seat height and who it fits
The gas lift takes the seat from 46.5 to 58.5 cm, a 12 cm range. Elabest suggests a fit for people from about 155 to 191 cm. The high top setting is useful if you are tall or sit at a standing desk in its lowest position, and the pull-out footrest gives your feet somewhere to rest when the seat is raised above your natural knee height.
Seat depth is fixed at about 45.7 cm, which may feel short for very long thighs.
Lumbar, headrest and arms
The lumbar support moves with your spine and can be set within about 4 cm of depth, 5 cm of height and 15 degrees of angle. That is more range than most dynamic lumbar designs. The 3D headrest moves 5.8 cm up and down, tilts 45 degrees and swings 75 degrees front to back.
The 5D armrests adjust in height, width, depth and rotation, and flip up 90 degrees so the chair can be pushed fully under a desk. Elabest says the pads use denser EVA foam for elbow comfort.
Recline, mesh and certification
Recline is modest at up to 120 degrees across three stages, and the footrest itself has two angle positions. The AirMesh back is described as more breathable and elastic than standard mesh. Elabest quotes EN 1335 and BIFMA compliance, 260,000 durability cycles and a 136 kg load. This listing names a grade 3 gas lift, which is worth checking against the sister listing that names grade 4. Elabest describes tool-free assembly and offers 5 years of product support.
Compared with other tall-user chairs
The Hinomi H2 Pro lists the same 58.5 cm seat height but a much deeper 143 degree recline and a 150 kg rating, in a heavier, larger chair. The Tonfary 819 has a sliding 50 cm seat for long legs but tops out around 55 cm in height. The X100 is the one for tall users who want height plus a footrest.
Verdict
Pick the Elabest X100 if you need a high seat, adjustable lumbar and a footrest for short breaks. If you want a deep recline and higher load, the Hinomi H2 Pro is the step up, and if long thighs are your main issue, the Tonfary 819 with its sliding seat suits better.
