Well, basically all ergonomic chairs have one dominant feature, and that is adaptability. Usually, the user can adjust its height and tilt angle. In some you can also adjust the armrests and headrests.
Apart from that, it is equipped with soft padding, both in the seat and the backrest. These provide a comfortable chamber of accommodation for your body. Often, ergonomic office chairs also come with lumbar support that adheres to the curve of the spine and protects you from persistent back pain. Footrests provide foot support.
In terms of material, office chairs use breathable and washable materials like mesh. These materials are easy to maintain and are also suitable for varying temperatures. If the temperature is too high, breathable materials will prevent heat from building up. Thus, protecting you from unnecessary heat and sweat.

To configure everything, you must read the manual that comes with it.

Next, install the chair back sliding mechanism. You may need to bolt it down. Once assembled, you will need to place it by tightening the bolts on the underside of the seat. Next, attach the armrests. Place the seat assembly on the gas lift, then attach the headrest.
After assembling the whole chair, test it. You can also customize it further by adjusting the seat height. Ideally, the seat height should be such that your feet fall 180 degrees to the floor and the angle between your calf and knee is around 90 degrees. In addition, you can adjust the seat, armrests and headrest.
