Side by Side Comparison of: AmazonBasics vs Deco Brothers

This has been a great chair for our home office. I originally ordered two of these chairs in December to replace the chairs in our office. They were easy to assemble, with clear well-written instructions. All of the needed parts are separated making the step by step instructions simple to follow. The only tool you need is a hex wrench which is included. It took me less than 20 minutes to assemble both chairs. The chairs are very comfortable and unlike some of the older reviews, we are not having any issue with the armrests. Maybe, Amazon has changed manufacturers. We have had the chairs for nine months and they are showing no signs of wear after hours of daily use. We have been so pleased with these chairs that I just purchased another AmazonBasics Mid-Back Office Chair to replace my grandson's old desk chair.

I was able to figure out how to assemble it. I am moderately fit and of average intelligence. I remember that at one point something didn't quite fit so I had to go back one step and loosen the screws but that was a minor minor issue that I was able to correct after analyzing it for several minutes. It's good for the price. I weigh about 180lbs and after heavy use for 5 months I could tell that it was not going to last past 2 more years. The seat was starting to tilt a bit.

an extremely comfortable chair, i have spent hours at a time in it without difficulty, which is very unusual for me, since i always have pain after sitting for too long. surprising, since it's a cheaper chair.the armrests are cushioned, and the seat and back are cushioned. i don't know if they will break down after much more time, but i spend my weekends in this chair, and have had no issues. i stand for a long period of time at my job, so i come home with a sore back sometimes, and have to use the lumbar support in my car, but i don't seem to have that issue with this chair. i would definitely purchase again.

I'll admit, I'm hard on office chairs. I'm not petite and I work 10-12 hrs a day at my desk. So that's a lot of wear and tear on a chair. My last chair had finally given up and I went looking for a new one. Well, I hate to spend more than I have to, I know it's going to get used to death. There's just no getting past that. So I decided on this one. When it arrive (quick as always thank you Amazon). It had a scary number of pieces but the instructions were clear enough I got it put together in less than 20 minutes. It's so comfortable! Its wonderful to be comfortable while you work long hours. Definitely a good buy.

Well, my wife's office chair broke so she needed a new one. We have had good results with AmazonBasics before (with a paper shredder), so we decided to check out the office chairs. This one caught our eye and we ordered it. Great choice! This is a great chair and is very comfortable. She enjoyed it so much I ordered one for myself and now we both can work in our home office in comfort. You won't be disappointed.

I bought this chair for my wife to use at her computer desk as a Christmas present and she loves it....says it is very comfortable to sit in while working for long periods of time. She highly recommends the chair.

This desk organizer fit my needs perfectly. I don't work from home or anything but we do have a home office which we use to do random computer and printing stuff and our desk doesn't actually have any drawers so it had gotten to the point where we had several different containers holding various items. I'm super happy I picked this one. The price was hard to argue and the size was just right for the desk. Now all the clutter is gone! It fit all our desk supplies what more could a person ask for? Oh, and yes, the little rubber feet prevent sliding quite nicely.

I needed something to keep my keys, scissors, pens, markers, wallet and small tools in since they were all just randomly in a plastic bin on my desk. This fits all of this things perfectly. Keys fit into the drawer, scissors and pens where you expect them and my wallet sits perfectly in the top rear compartment(sticking out but it fine), I have a multi tool and a knife also standing up with space left over. I also throw my badge/ID from work in there and some smaller things like USB drives at times. It feels well made, not cheap and flimsy which was nice to see since it isn't very expensive so I wasn't quite sure what I was getting before it arrived in terms of quality. Very happy with it

I included pictures to help others who are looking for an ideal Organizer. I like this product because it is large and has enough space for my highlighters, pencils, pens, and sharpies for college. This organizer has rubber grips on the end that prevent it from sliding all over your desk. It comes with a drawer that I use for Post-Its. At the moment, I can fit 4 packs of Post-Its in the middle compartment and still have room to fit one or two more packs (just to give you a feel for how big the middle compartment is.) I put my deodorant stick next to it so that you could compare the size (its all I had at the time!) Another great thing is that they give a lifetime warranty for this product. It is suppose to last a lifetime so if it breaks during its use, you could probably contact them to get it fixed or to get another one. I am telling you, this is an honest review. I brought this with my own money to use for college. I hoped that this helped! I kept it short because the photos speak for themselves! Good luck and trust me, this is a GREAT BUY! I will definitely be buying more of DecoBros products for college. Thanks!

I loved this office organizer ! It's not too big and not to small, the perfect size ! It looks exactly as the picture shows. It has two pockets , one for paper clips or thumbtacks on top , and then one for sticky notes. It even fits my scissors and stapler. Definitely recommend !

Just what I was looking for. Holds a good amount but isn't too big. Height is just right. I love the four divisions. I keep my pens and art supplies on one side, makeup brushes and eye pencils on the other. The shallow shelves in the middle are perfect for small desktop items like calligraphy nibs and staplers. The little drawer is handy as well. The rubber grips at the bottom prevent it from sliding around on my cheap Ikea desk. Great little find.

It is surprisingly heavy duty for the price. The pullout compartment makes for a hidden but easily accessible place for the things you don't need too often. I have had this item for only 3 weeks but I don't see any cheapness in the design and it is pretty sturdy. The overall design allows for easy organization for all that you need at your fingertips.

This chair is OK for the price, but it gets a bit uncomfortable after a few hours. There are times when I think my 230lbs of pure bone, muscle and fat will crush the chair to pieces, but it hasn't happened yet. It would be great if it held up for a year or two. Worth a try if you're not looking to invest for something high-quality.Also, the back comes up to my armpits - I wish I had purchased a higher chair with a head rest.

Very comfortable, affordable and a great chair all together. I will say this, it took about a month to arrive so I am not happy about that and I had to call and complain because my package got stolen after a month of waiting. They did the right thing and replaced it and I am glad they did because it is a great chair for the price, but be sure to watch your tracking like a hawk!

Just received it on time from amazon. The delivery time was accurate. The chair is very much comfortable to sit, I use it as a study chair. The assembly was super easy. It took 15 mins to assemble. Also, the best part about this chair is that it is not very comforting: which means that you can study at this chair while sitting up right!!I only had one problem with the chair. The screws were missing but I was compensated for that.I would suggest do not think twice before buying this chair, just go for it. I love it.

Nice chair for the price. Not frequently but it does make a noise like something is right. I am use to a chair that the back is more straight up and had a lumbar option. This one leans to far back causing poor posture. This chair has the option to lean back into it so I think a more straight back would be nice.

Package: Well packaged. Tool and screws neatly separated.Instructions: Very clear and concise. Easy to read and assemble. It only took me about 20 minutes to put together this chair.Appearance: Looks quite nice, expensive, and well made.Comfort: I've been sitting on a metal folding chair for the last five years, so this feels like a royal throne to me. With that said, though, the chair is well padded, offers lumbar support, and adjusts easily to different heights.Cons: My biggest concern is the back of the chair. It is held into place with four bolts, into the arms of the chair, two on each side. That's it. No other support or reinforcement - just two bolts screwed into each arm of the chair. I suspect that if I lean back too hard or too often, the back of the chair will eventually break. Only time will tell, but I'd feel much better about this chair if it offered additional support to the back.

The material on this chair is paper-thin. And the padding on the bottom is questionable. I think even my finger nail could cause this chair to tear.Editing to add- Upgrading this review to 4 stars because even though the material feels thin... it has held up very well!

This organization caddy is very sturdy and holds lots of items. As you can see in the photo, I have markers, pencils, (lots of) pens, scissors, a hole puncher, a stapler remover, a glue dot roller, colored pencils, and expo markers all in the top part with a multi-use container in the drawer. While the drawer is removable, it's difficult to get anything out of it unless you decided to place something like sticky notes in it. As for the top removable piece, it doesn't do much to remove it. The metal wire, while sturdy, are able to be bent which could be an issue. Regardless, this organizer is very helpful and great if you need a compact unit to hold your items.

received this in quickly through shipping. it's pretty sturdy.. fairly roomy.. but minimal shipping packaging.. mine was dented in on one corner part of the mesh. It's not real visible so eh, not going to fuss over it. It's great for the price, I hold my pens and crochet hooks and scissors and post it's in it. I gave four stars for minimal packaging which is what likely caused the damage to the product.

Exactly what I needed, fits everything I had scattered on my work desk in multiple random holders and containers plus arrived ahead of schedule. I'll buy a second one for the home office. Only minor inconvenience (which is why not 5 stars) is that the post it drawer is pretty deep so unless you keep several stacked you have to "fish" a bit to get one out when you need it but as long as you keep the pile high it's perfectly fine.

I've been looking for a holder for all my remotes and my glasses but they were mostly more costly than what I was willing to pay for something so simple! Found this and it works PERFECTLY for that purpose! I can fit one remote in 3 of the spaces and the fourth hold my 2 pair of glasses. Each space is plenty big enough for larger remotes and I can even fit 2 of my small remotes in one if I wanted too. It also has a nice little ledge for the small items that tend to hang out around my end table, nail polish, toothpick holder, bottle of aspirin and that sort of thing. It also has good rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide all over the place, an added bonus! I took off one star only because the little drawer that slides out of the center/bottom is made of plastic, as well as the removable divider that fits into one of the top/center sections. It's not that big of a deal, but would have been a bit nicer if they were metal like the rest, but they're well enough made that it's not a deal breaker.

Of all of the other steel mesh desk supplies organizers that I have seen, this one appears to be the most well thought out AND is certainly the one that is most carefully constructed. There is nothing that is misaligned, rough, or likely to draw blood as you rummage around for a particular pen or that one special paper clip you've been saving for a special event. The grey-painted model has a pleasant toned-down look----a welcome break from the foreboding and monotonous black which so many people gravitate towards.My only complaint is that all four of the main storage compartments are exactly the same size. When organizing anything, one looks for different sized holders for all your different sized things. I solved this "problem" by adding two lengths of one-inch PVC pipe----cut into a 4" piece and a 5" piece. Both of them fit into one of the pencil holders and they make a wonderful place to store large office scissors and a magnifying glass so they don't flop around---especially if you place a magic marker or two around the PVC pipes to make them stable. Pack a small wad of cloth in the bottom of the PVC tube to protect the tip of the scissors.Other customization to follow... AFTER I complete the computer-driven "Find-a-Pen" automated retrieval system. ;)

This is great at organizer and holds a lot in as little space as needed. I use to have a lot of pencils cups but I got rid of them all and just used this to organize pencils, pens and highlighters (since it has so many tall sections). And the drawer is very deep so it can hold a lot as well. I took some pictures of mine with things in it.

To start with, the chair came in good shape(with minor damage on handle) and shipped as communicated. The assembling of chair is relatively easily and would take no longer than 20 min.The chair looks sturdy and has good cushion. But, if you are looking for some office chair where you want to spend most of the time sitting on it then this is NOT the one recommended. It is okay for those who wanted to sit and work occasionally.

Not the greatest. Not much cushion if at all. I would have returned it if it wasn't a hassle to have to take it all apart. Bought a cheaper one locally - much better quality. Save your money and spend on one a little more expensive. The one here locally that was 15 mucks more was way more comfy

The has to be the most 'basic' office chair available. If I would have know I would have spent a little bit more dough and got a better chair.The back of the chair is pretty short. On the good side the chair is sturdy and rolls fine.Update: Sun Sept 17th 2017 - The chair is on the ropes. Beware of the arm rests cracking and creating sharp plastic spurs. When you grab onto the arm rest to sit down; you can cut yourself. Other than than, and that the chair be starting to become lopsided, the chair has made it with me sitting on it daily for almost a year. I am in the market for a new chair and I will not be re-ordering this one.

Easiest computer chair I've ever assembled. The problem is that unless you are a small child, the chair is absurdly small. At 6 feet tall, the back goes up to roughly my shoulder blades. Not exactly sure why you would make a chair that has that short of a back, but I guess I need to learn to read better.Otherwise, the chair is moderately comfortable if the super low back doesn't bother you. For the price, it is a decent deal. If you are above the height of a child, I would recommend getting another chair though.

I was a little disappointed when I first sat down in this chair, it felt like it wanted to lean forward and dump me out. I got used to that, you just have to be really careful and sit all the way back in the chair. But I haven't even had it for a month and already it has developed a "hard" spot along one of the chair seams, it feels like there is a bar or rod running underneath it. It's very uncomfortable. I will probably have to buy some sort of cushion to place in the seat, otherwise it's going to be way too uncomfortable to sit in for more than a half an hour or so.

I cannot recommend the chair to daily users. Barely 2 days after assembling the chair, I managed to crack the right side armrest as I was shifting my weight to correct my posture; I barely weigh 155lbs and the armrest didn't even bear my full weight before buckling. It's such a shame. The chair looks decent, feels good, and was easy to assemble; it's just that the armrests are terribly brittle.Currently in the process of getting a replacement armrest sent out by Amazon (hopefully). Will update my review with how that goes.(Update) Amazon offered a 35% refund, a refund the cost of the replacement part, a free replacement, or a full refund. I decided to go with a free replacement.(Updated 2) It's now late June 2017 and the replacement chair is still going strong. I suspect the original run of these had weak/defective arm rests that have since been corrected. Overall the chair looks immaculate except for a few minor cosmetic defects: first the vinyl on my left arm rest has begun to fray, a problem that continued use will exacerbate until I patch it. Second, the screw hole plugs repeatedly fall out, they're simply too loose to fit snugly into their holes. Other than that, it's proven to be durable and looks new at a glance, so I'll bump this up to a 3-star product (original 2-star) as its proven to be durable.

Does the job but is poorly constructed. Arrived with dents, misaligned structure, and loose parts. The sections for the removable parts were not put together correctly. The drawer constantly falls out at the slightest movement (I'll be moving this organizer from under my desk to on top of my desk throughout the day). The two-section piece only fits on one side (until I forcibly bent the metal structure). Many of the metal pieces clearly don't line up and aren't joined at the correct angles. But, as a mostly-out-of-sight organizer for work, it does fine. I mean it holds office supplies. Can't ask for much more at the price.

In general it is working out for me, but there is a major flaw in the design. The tray on the top should be sized for business cards, but business cards just don't fit in the space. It could also be a bit taller so that the pens etc don't flop around as much. Overall, it works for me reasonably well.

Great if you have tons of writing instruments like I do. The only thing I don't like is the seam where the mesh meets the frame; it's really sharp!

Well made but not practical. For instance, there's not a compartment wide enough to stand a small notepad or envelops at the back. There's a narrow drawer in middle but again it's too narrow. All compartments are the same size so no versatility. I imagined a product that could hold bills and a checkbook and tape and maybe a small bottle of white glue but this isn't what I needed.p

It was definitely smaller then I expected. The little drawer only fits regular post-its and nothing bigger or differently shapped. It is sturdy and convient to separte my writing devices for easy access. I just wish it was on a bigger scale than it would be 5 stars!

Good organizer, although the photo is deceiving. I thought it would be a lot larger than it really is. Still works very well and will be very useful this year.

This chair sucks, looks good, but not real easy on one's rear end. I'll probably buy a cushion, it's like sitting on a board. Be a great chair for the set of "You're pretty face is going to hell." This chair is hell on my ass.

Too small, I'm 6' 2" 225. and this is made for someone half my size. Width at the are rests is 19" which digs into my legs. Giving it to my girl friend. She and her mom are half my size. Measure what you have to replace and look for something with the same general dimensions. Or go to the Office store and sit in one. Probably the best way. -hth

Overall the chair is just alright at best.There's a lot of play in the base, even with everything completely snug, you can feel the base rock back and forth on the bolts...which I'm sure after time will cause the chair to fail.The cushioning on the chair is average at best. It's firm with very little give. If you're using it as a work chair, it could definitely become uncomfortable after an 8 or 9 hour day.I actually chatted with Amazon because the faux leather has already begun to peel and flake...The individual I chatted with told me that since it was outside of the 1 year (by less than a month) they couldn't offer any type of compensation or replacement (although I never asked for a replacement). I find it a bit troubling that in such a short time after the chair began experiencing issues, the warranty was also up. Typically Amazon customer service is top notch, but in this case, they simply hid behind the 1 year warranty and wouldn't stand behind their products at all.

Introduction:I purchased this chair in an effort to find a chair that I was comfortable sitting in for long periods of time.Pros:You can disassemble the chair when moving and reassemble it again at its new location.You don't need any extra tools, screwdrivers or anything like that. It comes with a metal screwdriver type thing that you use to tighten all the screws.The material it's made out of is nice. It's bonded leather which feels like leather but is a little softer and has more give. It's not a single piece of leather; it's pieces that were glued together basically.Cons:You must assemble it yourself. Assembly is generally easy except for putting the back onto the chair.It does not have adequate lower back and lumbar support. This makes the chair inadequate for long-term use.The metal that's covered by the black cylinders will become very sticky after assembly and use. Not sure what it is. Maybe lubrication.It comes with little black circles to put over the screws so they can be covered. However, these things fall off and never stay on. I would rather they had not included them at all, to be honest.The arm started creaking two months into use. Tightening the screw helped for a short period of time but now it creaks permanently.As I was getting onto the chair, I put all my weight on my left elbow and it snapped the left arm right down the middle into two pieces.Conclusion:Overall, I am disappointed in this chair. I was hoping for a chair I could sit on for long periods of time. This chair was not like that, and even if I had liked it, it would have started creaking and the arm would have broken on it anyways. The leather was wasted on a chair that forces you to have poor body posture. It also wasn't the cheapest chair. A moderately priced chair that performs poorly, with leather...

The product quality 3 out of 5The only reason I ding the product quality is the bolts are hard to line up with the arm rests. Especially by yourself. The padding on the arm rest is a bit thin for it to be comfortable for long durations. The material has the feel and look of leather, but for the price. It's probably something synthetic that has the feel and look of leather. Though that's great as leather will crack and split with heat versus synthetic material lasting longer. The jack on the side of the chair works fine. The wheels are pretty smooth, so you shouldn't have issues rolling around in this chair. I use this chair at a mobile computer desk, which the setup works great for me.The product price 3 out 5Go look at the other prices around. It's pretty much around 50 - 75 dollars. Usually 50 dollar chairs are way uncomfortable, so for 75 dollars this chair was a steal. Update: Not so comfy after extended sitting in this chair. Better to look to higher end products with a higher quality in parts used. Otherwise you will get something made like this. Cheap.....The sturdiness 1 out of 5Wow, yeah the arms on this chair break really easy. I am talking barely putting a little pressure on them brakes them into. Not so sure on the supposed limited warranty on this chair.The comfort 3 out of 5The arms are very thinly padded, but you get what you paid for. The seat itself is ok for a few hours at a time, but you will mostly likely end with a cramp in this chair and require a stretch.OverallDon't expect much from this cheap office chair, though like most products made in china; They don't last long. Look elsewhere for a higher quality office chair. Even the chairs from IKEA last longer, which a friend of mine has one.

Got this chair for my new apartment, and it was great for one week until the arm broke. I'm not a big person, 5'8"/130, so I was surprised when the arm just snapped when I pushed on it getting up out of the seat. I read the other comments about the padding and height, but since I'm on the lighter side I figured I could make it work. The back is short, and the padding is a bit thin, but both are relatively good at this price point. If not for this defect it would be a solid chair at a reasonable price. I don't seem to be the only one with the arm-break issue, just be aware of the realities of cheaper products.Also, it's annoying that the only options for full refund or replacement require you to send the item back - a desk chair isn't exactly the easiest thing to ship back.Update: Called Amazon, was able to get a partial refund and keep the broken chair, but was surprised that I couldn't just get a replacement part for the broken arm. I sort of assumed that since it was their brand (AmazonBasics) that they'd have an army of these things and their corresponding parts for replacements, but that's apparently not an option. Silver lining is that luckily mine broke within a week so I was still able to get Amazon's help with the partial refund, but next time I shop on Amazon I think I'll be avoiding anything branded AmazonBasics.

The mesh on one of my cup holders came bent and out of shape

too small,not what I expected. I was looking for something much larger!!! maybe next time I'll read the measurement before buying...

Disappointed. I should have read the specs better, because the note tray only holds 2.5 by 3 inch cards, but most cards are 3x3

It's not that big and the removable pieces are plastic

It is more grey than sliver. I do not like the color.

This caddy was infintestimally smaller than i imagined it would be.the photo is decieving. Any smaller regular,square sized post it pad will not fit in it. So obviously nothing bigger.more for a small childs desk than an adult,office one.if it wasnt for the craziness of the season,i would of sent it back.

I thought I'd save a few bucks. I was wrong. I got a chair that cannot be put together completely. Unless you know how to have two objects occupy the same space at the same time. (See attached picture) I guess they did not make sure all the screw holes align when completely put together. Save your money, time and temper! Don't buy this!

lasted a good 4 months before giving way and breaking.one thing i never really liked is that even if you have the lock in place the back will always give a bit of way; therefore you are never straight.

This is a really bad chair... The mid-back height is shy of being comfortable (I'm 6feet tall), and the padding is virtually non-existent after a few weeks/months. It's become so uncomfortable, i'm looking for a new chair even though this one is perfectly fine structurally.On a positive note, the pseudo-leather has some pretty good durability.

After only sitting in this chair a few times the seam split open. Very thin cheap fabric. I'm bummed to find I just missed the return window of 30 days.

horrible chair, seat cushion very weak, feels like sitting on wood. Just too much trouble to prepack and return. Gave it to my sons.

Description was 34 to 38 inches. This measurement is commonly used for seat height. This chair doesn't come close.

Great for organization pens, post-its, etc. within easy reach, better than the one I had before.

Disappointed. Arrived with major dents.

It arrived dented and misshapen (although the shipping box was completely intact). It was defective from the outset. I returned it and did not re-order.

I didn't get the whole thing ,just the part for small things and a draw. I was disappointed I thought I ordered everything that the above picture shows. I guess I misunderstood.

Mine came bent in multiple places. It also wobbles on my desk. Kinda disappointed but whatever I guess.

Too small for what i need
