Description
A thoughtfully designed study chair built for students and home learners. The Home Schick combines a compact footprint with flip-up armrests — tuck it neatly under the desk when not in use — plus a choice of colours to match any room. Safety isn't an afterthought either: explosion-proof gas cylinder, anti-aging PP frame, and a solid 150 kg weight capacity backed by a 2-year warranty mean it handles daily study sessions and the occasional rough treatment without complaint.
Key Features
Flip-Up Armrests — Tucks Under Any Desk
The 90° flip-up armrests are a game-changer for tight spaces. Fold them up and slide the chair completely under the desk when study time is over — no more chairs jutting into walkways. Soft sponge padding on the armrest surface keeps elbows comfortable during long homework sessions.
Compact Footprint — Made for Home Use
Designed with a smaller footprint than full-size office chairs, the Home Schick fits comfortably in bedrooms, study nooks, and HDB study corners where space is at a premium. The 310mm nylon fiberglass five-star base provides stability without bulk.
Safety-First Build — 150 kg Rated
A 45mm fully sealed explosion-proof gas cylinder with 99.99% nitrogen purity, 2.0mm inner wall and 1.2mm outer wall thickness. The 2.5mm sealed chassis adds another layer of protection. The five-star base and PU casters are tested to 100,000 rotation cycles under 150 kg load — peace of mind for parents and safety-conscious buyers.
Two Fabrics, Two Personalities
- Pink — Waterproof Flannelette: Soft, cosy, and spill-resistant. Perfect for younger students where drinks and snacks are part of the study routine. A quick wipe cleans up most messes.
- Grey — Breathable Mesh with Sponge Cushion: Cool and airy for longer sessions. The mesh keeps air flowing while the high-density sponge seat (≥35 kg/m³) holds its shape through years of use.
Both upholstery options are scratch-resistant and built to handle daily wear.
Anti-Aging PP Frame — Built to Last
The PP + fiberglass frame is treated with anti-aging and anti-cold agents, rated to withstand temperatures as low as -20°C without cracking. Overbuilt for Singapore's climate and then some.
Smooth-Rolling PU Casters — Hard Floor Friendly
50mm PU casters glide silently on hard floors, tiles, and laminates. Tested to 100,000 rotation cycles under 150 kg load without failure — no squeaks, no scratches, no marks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Home Schick for?
Students, teens, and anyone who needs a compact, well-built chair for a home study desk. The smaller footprint and flip-up armrests make it ideal for HDB bedrooms, study corners, and shared spaces where a full-size office chair would overwhelm the room.
Which colour should I choose?
- Grey — breathable mesh with sponge cushion. Cooler for long study sessions, blends into any room.
- Pink — waterproof flannelette. Soft, cosy, and spill-resistant — great for younger kids.
Can adults use this chair?
Yes. With a 150 kg weight capacity, explosion-proof gas cylinder, and adult-grade base and casters, the Home Schick comfortably supports full-size users. If you need a compact chair for a small home office, this works just as well for adults.
Does it leave marks on wooden or tile floors?
No. The 50mm PU casters are specifically designed for hard floors — smooth, quiet, and non-marking. Tested for 100,000 cycles without failure or scratching.
How does it compare to a standard office chair?
The Home Schick is intentionally smaller and lighter than a full office chair, with flip-up armrests for space saving. It prioritises compact design, safety (explosion-proof cylinder, 150 kg rating), and durability (2-year warranty) over executive features like multi-lock tilt or lumbar adjustment. Think of it as a purpose-built study companion rather than an all-day office workstation chair.
Do I need to assemble the chair?
No. All Newstar chairs are delivered fully assembled — unbox, place it at the desk, and it's ready to use. No tools, no instructions, no hassle.
What is the warranty?
The Home Schick comes with a 2-year in-house warranty covering manufacturing defects.
