Good Quality and Price
Very easy to assemble. Thick, strong seat. Great back support, I love the seat depth. Amazing comfort and quality, especially considering the price.

Very satisfied
I’ve been using this chair for almost a week. It was extremely easy to assemble, seems very well made, and is quite comfortable. I purchased it to replace an older, thinner chair that proved unsuitable for work-from-home use, and this is a substantial upgrade with nice, thick padding. I used an Aeron at the office, and while this is not quite at that level, for the money it’s a surprisingly decent substitute.My only complaint is that at 5’10”, I find the lowest setting of the chair is not -quite- as low as I’d like, but this is extremely minor, to the extent that wearing shoes would probably solve the issue.I’m a fairly small person, but this chair also seems like it would be quite suitable for larger folks.

Very comfortable chair as far as chairs in this price range are concerned!
Been sitting on one of these for over ten years in an office and you couldn’t tell it’s not new – seat is still nice and cushy and no other damage or creaks. We wanted to pickup a couple for around home to replace our cheap office chairs and make working from home a little more comfortable so we grabbed the same ones seeing as it’s been tried and tested at the office for so many years!Assembly was easy. The cushion is a bit firm at first like any new chair, but breaks in nicely within a couple weeks and stays consistently padded after that (note this to everyone complaining it’s too firm…).The hardware warranty is a great bonus that I didn’t expect until I read the papers in the box:Lifetime on component Parts Including pneumatic cylinder, control mechanism, base and casters.If you aren’t looking to drop over $1000 on a higher end chair, this is definitely a solid chair at a price within reach to most folks.

Exactly what’s needed for the world of Zoom work!
Chair arrived well before the stated delivery date. Easy to assemble and up and running within 15 minutes. I do wish the castors with the chair were suitable for all surfaces – I had to be an extra set of hardwood-friendly ones, so I have the originals just sitting around. Chair is very comfortable, easy to adjust and it’s a fraction of the price you’d expect to pay for a high-quality, lumbar support desk chair. Very happy with my purchase!

Good for a bit, but a bad investment
The cushion went flat after just over a year, which is not great for the price I paid. The mesh backing is supportive and breathes well for fantastic lumbar support, but the arms are not as adjustable as advertised and the recline lock is not very reliable. I had to reset it every few hours when I unexpectedly lean back farther than intended, jump out of my skin and knock over something on my desk accidentally. Overall, it worked okay for a while, but the flattened cushion and the lack of customization means you can probably find something better at a lower price.

Nice Comfortable Chair
Bought this to replace an old chair. I like it! Had a bit of trouble assembling but was able to figure it out.

Good for the price
Office chairs are expensive. Would like more options but you need to pay for those i guess. Chair works as it should. Would be nice if you could move the arms in / out or the back in/out.I’m 6’1″ and i needed to add a back support otherwise my back wouldn’t reach the chair properly.

Nice chair, great value
The chair was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Comfortable, adjustable, and sturdy. I ordered some rubber “roller blade -style” wheels to replace the standard casters, which makes it even better.There are better chairs out there at higher price points, but this strikes a really good balance from a “bang-for-the-buck” value proposition.

Iâve had this chair for a month and I work 8-9 hour days M – F.Started working from home July 2021 and Iâve had 4 other office chairs but none of them worked out because the seats were really uncomfortable by the end of a day. Iâve tried an expensive all mesh chair, an expensive leather executive chair, and two big box office store chairs that were returned within the first week.This chair seat is very comfortable and supportive, and the back allows for air circulation. I ordered the fabric seat since I find leather/pleather a bit slippery causing frequent adjustments throughout the day in the way I sit.I like that the arm rest height is adjustable, so I can lower them at end of the day and slide chair under desk.Iâm 5â3â and find the chair comfy at a lower setting. My husband is 6â0â and is comfortable with the seat at a higher setting. My son is 6â2â and found the chair a bit too small.Chair super easy to assemble. Make sure you pay attention to instructions as the direction of pieces during assembly is important.Also, remember to tighten screws on chair every few months.

Bought one of these in 2005 (yes 17 years ago) and bought another one a month ago. The two chairs seem to be identical. The 2005 one has held up great….going strong and still in use. Only issue is the foam in the seat cushion has compressed…totally normal after 17 years, and still useable, but the seat is now rock hard. At about 15 years I did a couple repairs….replaced the armrest pads and the air piston height adjustment piece (bought generic parts on Amazon). Looks like maybe Office Star would have replaced the piston under warrantee if I asked. The rest of the chair…the frame, back, fabric, casters….are all original and seem to be preforming good as new.The new chair seems to be identical (on the left in the picture), so I expect good performance from the new one. As a plus, these are made in Taiwan, not China.Regarding the fit and sizing, I am guessing that a shorter individual who wants to sit with their feet resting on the floor would find the seat height a bit too high. I am 5′ 11″, 200+ LBS and I think the sizing is excellent. This is not a cheap cushy chair that provides no support. This has good structure and is comfortable for long workdays.

GOOD PURCHASE for PICKY SHOPPER! This is really Good chair that I recommend and would buy again! I am taking the time to write this review, because when I was searching for a chair, I wanted some real feedback. I originally tried to save some costs and first bought a chair for about $100 that had ok reviews, but I bought it more for the $100 price. After sitting in that chair, I knew it wasn’t right so I went to Amazon and started reading A LOT of chair reviews. This chair seemed to have the best assortment of positive and some negative reviews, and it mentioned really important things to me: Good ratings, good for back/support, etc.. So, even though it was a little more expensive than what I had wanted (was really looking for a $100 chair) and I paid about $50 more for this one ($150-ish) but I am THRILLED! It’s very well built, easy to assembly and I think (knowing Amazon’s excellent return process – print out pre-paid return label and drop it off at the UPS store) it was a worry-free type of purchase if I didn’t like it. I am fairly big guy and this chair is comfortable for all day use – the soft, but firm arm rests are great. I am VERY SATISFIED with this chair and would have given it a 5 if the bottom cushion was adjustable to slide in/out (the chair and arms lower/raise – but the seat cushion is fixed – which might be why it’s so comfortable and great support). I have had it about 2-3 weeks.

This chair was bought for my husband to use for computer gaming. I was hoping to find something that he could enjoy sitting in for many hours at a time. This turned out to be such a great chair he got one for the office too. The chair was easy to assemble and came with everything needed. I like that the arms are an option as he is a bigger guy and does not like to feel all confined. The chair also is very tall in my opinion I mean I am 5’4 and with the chair at maximum height my feet don’t even touch the floor making me feel somewhat like a toddler. The seat portion is very thick, you can’t feel any plastic or metal as you can in some other office chairs. All in all semi like a very nice chair for the price, I also believe it will hold up for quiet sometime.

Within 15 minutes of the box opening this was built and ready to enjoy. There were 13 hex bolts to attach – the hex wrench comes with it.I sold office chairs in one of the stores I managed. This chair easily compares with those chairs and is very sturdy. With all these features (adjustable arms, hydraulic raise/lower, high quality casters, lumbar support, tilt knob) it should cost twice as much. I have included the actual photos of the actual assembly from a pile of parts to the finished product.I am impressed so far, but I haven’t sat on it for very long yet. I will update my review if needed.
