A closer look
A closer look
The Cougar TERMINATOR’s brown cardboard box presents the product on one side. It also lists the essential features. There are also various instructions and warnings; the company name and logo also appear. The heavy box (~45 kg) was delivered on a pallet. It survived the travel from France without harm. I'm not a small guy (202 cm/6.7"), but it wasn't easy to move the box by myself (due to the weight and the dimensions).
The contents arrived in perfect condition thanks to the neat and well-padded packaging. However, it should be noted that the items are not arranged in the order of assembly. Thus, you'll need to unpack everything from the box first.
When we open it, inside is a puzzle of individual parts, foam fillings and spacers, foil bags, and a small package.
The package includes the following:
- Accessories box
- Assembly Instructions
- Chair base (with installed armrest)
- Chair backrest
- Multi-functional tilt mechanism
- Aluminum wheelbase
- Five wheels (casters)
- Back bolster
- Seat back hinge cover (x2)
- Class 4 hydraulic piston
- Lumbar pillow
- Neck pillow
In the accessories box (two-piece plastic shell), you can find the following:
- Eight M8 screws
- Four Phillips head screws
- Four washers
- Allen key
The instruction is short and has explicit descriptions of the steps. But we’ll cover that on the next page.
Cougar reached for the non-classic bucket shape of the structure.
They used innovative material and a very non-standard style, attracting attention to the chair (especially the back part).
Although there are some fans of such an aggressive design, with every element emphasizing its “gaming” character, some/many users are looking for a minimalist design. They won’t find it here.
