5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Was Looking For
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2024
I was looking for a basic, no frills office chair at a decent price. This one was exactly what I wanted and expected. I got it in the brown color. The shipping was very prompt, the chair was in new condition, and assembly took about 15 minutes with two people experienced with tools. This is also fairly lightweight as far as carrying it up a flight of steps once it is assembled. I have vinyl flooring, and the wheels roll easily without leaving marks of any kind. It's comfortable to sit in. I am 5'4" and use the lowest height setting so that my feet are flat on the floor. I am using it at my desk in my home office where I do a lot of typing. The chair does not recline, but I did not need it for that. The seat is firm and has a good thickness. Very comfortable.

I got this chair to replace one from the same manufacturer I’d had maybe 7 years, and the padding was pretty much non-existent because I spent 10+ hours a day in it working from home. I really liked the chair I had as far as size, functions and quality, but it doesn’t seem they make it with a mesh fabric anymore. As another reviewer noted, this chair is slightly smaller both in width and back height, but it’s certainly big enough for the average person. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and it took less than 30 minutes to fully assemble. The chair rolls, swivels and reclines smoothly and the more I sit, the more comfortable the seat gets – it was pretty firm to start. The faux leather is soft to the touch and looks nice. I could have spent 2 or 3 times more on a similar chair, but, as good as this one is, I don’t think I would have noticed a significant difference.

I've had this chair for about 4 years now and I've had no problems with it, I work from home which has me sitting for hours at a time at my PC. IT has started to show some wear but it's only been recently. ITS extremely sturdy, padding isn't the best but it suites it's purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy.
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2024
Very comfortable chair. And it only costs $70. I've bought a bunch of these. They last about a year. Each chair has failed (broke) the same way: The bottom front bolt on the right side sheared in half. Other than that, the whole chair was still fine. So, I would suggest making those bolts thicker, stronger. The other problem is that the holes on the sides to attach the arm rests are recessed. So, you can't guide the bolts into the receiving holes using your hand/fingers. (Get the bolt "started".) You can only guide the bolt into the hole using the little allen wrench (hex key) thing from the box. Very difficult. There is no good reason to recess the holes. Also, please include an actual hex screwdriver, rather than the hex key thing. Much easier to use, and can't be that much more money.

This chair is to replace an older chair that had simply worn out over a span of about 15 years of use. I was looking for a quick, budget minded replacement and then will spend probably weeks looking at a higher quality chair, with full high back. At this price, I was not expecting a high quality chair, and that is what I got. It is more or less easy to assemble. It can be a bit tricky when assembling the arm rest. I loosely attached the back two bolts, then the seat. I did the same on the other side, and then tightened them in sequence : Outer back and outer seat bolts, then inner back and inner seat screws. The threads on the back and seat frame are pre-machined but with very little tolerance so you need to be careful not strip them out if you start them at even just a slightly off-angle. Assembling the base and height adjustment assembly went much easier. The chair has a metal inner frame, and base is also metal (there is some wood on the inside sides of the back and perhaps inside the seat). There is some plastic in the base assembly, but that is only cosmetic. Armrest frames are plastic as well. I also replaced the wheels with higher grade wheels I already had on hand (these have a slightly wider tread as well as slightly larger diameter). Finally I went back through and retightened all the screws, taking care not to overtighten. Assembly completion from opening the box to final check was about 30 minutes.

The faux leather covering is what you would expect in a chair at this price range. The seat padding is very firm (too firm?) but not uncomfortable for me, but will have to see how it feels after a long session at my computer. The biggest disappointment is the nearly hollow back with NO filling or padding (this is where the parts are stored when shipped). Very little to no support! I had a large bag of batting I was going to use for another project in the near future but decided to stuff it into the back (the bottom has a zipper ... remember, this is where the parts were stored). I took care to install the batting evenly, taking care not to overstuff. It made a big difference. The other disappointment was that, although listed as a mid-back chair, it is just barely that. Many other chairs (higher price) typically have at least a 24" inside back length for a mid-size chair back, as measured from the top of the seat ... this one is 22" The seat depth could have been maybe and inch deeper, as many chairs at this price have (this chair at 17.75" is barely enough). I am 5'11" and wight about 190 lbs. If you are taller or heavier, this chair might not work well for you. (My daughter, who is medium build at 5' 7" thought it was comfortable for her). So here is my summary:

PRO: Good price. Seems to be sturdy enough with full metal frame and base. Assembly a bit tricky but just need to be patient and have good lighting.

CONS: Seat depth a bit too short. Back offers little to no support without some fill (DIY).

So overall, this will do until I can spend some time to look at chairs in person, with better overall quality.

This chair is so CUTE! And it was super easy to assemble. It’s a comfortable chair. It’s not ergonomic as it only has a slit tilt of the seat and height adjustments rather than the headrest, armrest, seat tilt, back till, height, and back and forth of the backrest that ergonomic chairs do.

If you have a healthy back and no hip issues this chair is nice for occasional work and it’s beautiful with a nice price!
