Sunaofe, a direct-to-consumer office furniture brand supported by the global workspace manufacturer SUNON, has officially opened pre-orders for its new flagship model, the Atlas Ergonomic Office Chair. The product launch, announced on 28 June 2026, aims to address posture-related physical strain common among remote and hybrid workers. The chair is priced at $499.99.

The company intends to bridge the gap between high-end, executive-grade ergonomic equipment and the broader furniture market. According to the company, by selling directly to consumers and bypassing retail middlemen, it can offer advanced adjustability features at a lower price point than similar products found in traditional corporate offices.

"At Sunaofe, we believe that premium ergonomic health shouldn't be a luxury reserved for corporate executive offices,"

Jeff Zen, Founder of Sunaofe

Engineering and Ergonomic Specifications

The Atlas is built with mechanical features designed for prolonged daily use. Its core functionality includes a dynamic lumbar support system, which is engineered to adapt to a user's spine as their posture shifts throughout the workday. Additional physical specifications for the chair include:

  • Dynamic Lumbar: A system featuring 1.7" of travel to support the lower back.
  • Headrest: An adjustable unit offering 2.4" of height variation and 43°/40° tilt options.
  • Armrests: 2D-adjustable armrests that provide 3.3" of vertical movement and 1.6" of travel via a slide mechanism.
  • Build: A 27.6" nylon 5-star base with a weight capacity of 300 lb.
  • Recline: A mechanism featuring four locking positions.

The chair is available in two colorways, Black or Grey, and can be purchased with or without the integrated headrest. The unit weighs 41 lb and is designed to accommodate users ranging from 4'11" to 6'3" in height. The company states that its design and manufacturing process leverages over 30 years of industry experience, and the chair is designed to be assembled in under 20 minutes.

Pre-Order and Fulfillment Logistics

Sunaofe has implemented a reservation program for the initial production batch. Interested customers can secure their place in the queue by placing a 10% refundable deposit. The process is structured into three phases:

Phase Details
Initial 15 Days Deposit is fully refundable if the buyer chooses to cancel.
Queue Lock After 15 days, the deposit locks the order in the inventory queue.
Dispatch Upon arrival of the batch (estimated 2–5 weeks), the balance is collected and the chair ships.

The company partners with AIG to provide transit protection for orders. Domestic shipping is complimentary via FedEx Ground to the 48 contiguous United States. Sunaofe excludes Hawaii, Alaska, P.O. Boxes, and APO/FPO addresses from this service. Regarding returns, the company mandates that original packaging be retained. Returns sent without original materials may be declined or subject to a 20% to 30% repacking fee.

Market Positioning and Support

While the Atlas is a website-exclusive release, Sunaofe maintains an Amazon Storefront for its other furniture products. For enterprise clients, including startups and corporate offices, the company offers volume pricing for orders of 30 or more units. The chair is covered by a 5-year limited warranty, which applies to structural and mechanical integrity.

As remote and hybrid work models persist, Sunaofe is emphasizing its direct-to-consumer model as a way to maintain quality control while avoiding traditional markups. Future fulfillment of the Atlas will be dictated by the progress of the initial production batch, with the company noting that it prioritizes orders based on the date of the reservation.
