Just found out most barber chairs aren't rated for daily commercial use

I was looking up specs on my new chair after it started wobbling 3 months in and discovered a lot of these 'pro' chairs are only tested for like 2000 hours of use, which is basically nothing in a busy shop so has anyone else checked the fine print on chair warranties before buying?

Honestly, I used to think all 'barber grade' chairs were basically indestructible. Ngl, that 2000 hour rating is eye opening, like that's barely a year of solid 8 hour days in a busy spot. I kinda assumed they'd be built for years of abuse, not just tested for a few months.

Kinda makes you wonder what the actual standard is for a "professional grade" chair then, doesn't it? If 2000 hours is the test limit for a busy shop, what does that say about the cheaper ones that don't list any hours at all? Seems like they're banking on people not reading the fine print until the thing's already breaking down on them.
