In an office it’s always necessary that chairs have a rotation axis of 360 degrees to
improve the flow of movement, so the perfect chair is modern.

This chair has a value of 69 dollars and a year warranty, doesn’t require assembly,
so it optimizes labor and additional costs, its color and traditional style make it the
most striking product, more comfortable and longer-lasting It supports up to 250
pounds.

Taking into account that office work means that most of the time is spent sitting,
this chair offers what is necessary so that there are no back or neck pains that
could harm the person's work performance.
 5. After writing you opinion, create an audio recording, no more than 2 minutes
