Story
Adjustment reduced to essentials
The backrest moves vertically by up to 55 mm using a quick-release lever, while the seat height changes independently. The chair swivels on its five-star base.
Rookie and Rookie High
The shared fact book also documents Rookie High as a counter-height version with a foot ring. Standard Rookie retains the lower task-chair proportions, while Rookie High adds a counter-height seat and foot ring.
