Report
I contacted Paul as my home office chair had developed an irreperable fault leaving me sitting canted, and with horrid sciatica. He immediately met with me and helped me try a range of new chairs. He understood each seat very well and listened carefully to my experiences about my history of lumbar fracture and fusion, and how I like to move and sit and work. He even delivered the selected one (the amazing HAG Capisco 8106) for me to try for a day (yesterday) and I bought it today. Already invoiced and paid. No hassle, complete confidence, and MUCH better than guessing at a chair in an online

I didn't realise how awful my office chair was until I tried these chairs! My new chair allows for much more movement and looks fantastic in my office. I can also get much closer to my desk, reducing slouching and I can tell my posture is so much better. Being able to try the chairs in my own office made the choice so much easier. I sit in my chair for many hours each day so it made sense to invest in a chair that fits. Thanks Paul, I absolutely love it.

Desperately needed a decent chair for my home office after having years of ongoing back pain. I found Paul super-friendly, helpful and knowledgable. He recommended me a couple of different chairs and stools and even brought them round my house for me to try out. I bought Salli a saddle stool and now I'm back-pain free after years of searching for something that works - amazing! One very happy customer, so much so that I went and bought an armchair as well - thanks Paul and team!

The manager of Backworld Paul, discussed my needs and gave me some valuable guidance on what would be ideal for me to use at home. I required something lightweight which I could assemble and dissemble easily and would be light enough to carry as my dedicated work space is my kitchen table! The Eiger Pro standing Desk is lightweight, easy to assemble literally takes moments and
