Why We Stock It

Buro Seating was founded in 1994 in New Zealand by David Boyd and Chris Berry, opened its Brisbane office in 2009, has a Sydney showroom, and was acquired by ACCO Brands in March 2025. Buro says it was the first to offer a 5-year and then a 10-year chair warranty, and it publishes a specification sheet, an ergonomic assessment, line drawings and AFRDI certificates for each chair.

We stock Buro because the specifications are published and the chairs are tested to AFRDI Level 6 at prices that suit whole floors. Call 02 9640 0642 for a floor quote or visit our Pyrmont showroom at Shop 1, 209 Harris Street to see what is on the floor.

All figures are Buro Seating's, from the product page and specification sheet linked above; where the page and the sheet differ we say so. Buro's guarantee page lists a lifetime gas-lift guarantee for the Roma, Verve, Metro, Metro II, Persona and Everest, not the Tidal, so none is claimed here. Buro does not publish the unboxed chair weight for this model unless stated. Guarantee terms are on Buro's guarantee page and our warranty page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buro states the Tidal is an officially licensed Australian Made office chair meeting Australian manufacturing and quality standards. Ask us on 02 9640 0642 if you need the licence number for a tender.

Sustainable Living Fabrics, an Australian textile range that Buro states is GECA certified, carbon neutral and low VOC, with a 12-year warranty. Black or teal on this listing.

Because Buro publishes 150 kg for the Tidal; the Metro, Metro II 24/7, Roma and Persona are rated to 180. For heavier users or multi-shift use, see those chairs.

Buro sells the chair with or without height and width adjustable arms; choose in the picker. Arms help if you rest your forearms while typing or push up out of the chair; leave them off if the chair has to roll under a low desk or you sit side-on to the screen.

It ships in one carton with the base, gas lift and castors separate; the castors press into the base, the gas lift drops into the base, and the seat and back assembly sits on the gas lift. Buro's assembly instructions are linked in the specifications.

Buro guarantees the chair against faulty manufacture for the term in the Warranty tab, to the original purchaser, excluding upholstery and fair wear and tear (the fabric has its own 12-year warranty). Claims come to Chair Dinkum on 02 9640 0642 and we lodge them with Buro. Full terms are on Buro's guarantee page and our warranty page, and your Australian Consumer Law rights apply in addition.
