Black added to casual model "YL9A"
We are pleased to announce the addition of a new black color to our casual line, the YL9A. Black, which gives a sophisticated impression, is a classic color that has always been highly popular among home work chairs.
With the addition of black to the existing gray and navy, the YL9A is now available in three colors, allowing more customers to choose the color that best suits their interior and preferences.
Introducing the features of SALIDA "YL9A"
Main features of YL9A
1) Highly functional headrest
The headrest, which can be swiveled up and down and also adjusted in height, gently supports the head when reclining, reducing the burden of desk work.
2) Synchro locking
Equipped with a comfortable synchronized rocking system that allows the rear of the seat to sink down in conjunction with your back.
3) Adjustable elbow that can be adjusted in 9 stages
Adjustable elbows can be adjusted in height to 9 levels.
Soft polyurethane is used on the surface where the elbows come into contact. Reduces the burden on your elbows.
4) Locking fixed lever
The backrest can be locked by pushing the lever under the seat inwards.
*Only fixed in the initial position.
5) Locking adjustment knob
You can adjust the locking strength by turning the knob under the seat.
6) Elastomer material that realizes unique designs
A unique design was achieved by using an elastomer resin material for the backrest, which has the flexibility of back rubber and the ease of processing of plastic.
7) Soft molded urethane cushion
The seat is made of molded urethane that is molded to fit your body and does not lose its shape.
It uses a softer and thicker cushion than YL9.
