Five Star Reviews: | 55% Very happy with purchase after hours of daily use. September 18, 2017 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. It's good. August 29, 2017 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 ... July 14, 2017 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. As good as much more expensive chairs November 5, 2016 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. We have had good results with AmazonBasics before (with a paper shredder) May 7, 2015 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. Very Comfortable!! January 20, 2015 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. | 47% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 22% It's a cheap chair that seems to what it's supposed to do. October 4, 2017 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. Great chair, watch your tracking on the package July 21, 2017 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! The chair is very much comfortable to sit April 6, 2017 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. March 29, 2017 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. Could use more reinforcement, but otherwise a nice chair February 24, 2017 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. Nope. October 11, 2016 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! | 20% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 10% Okay chair but not for someone who want to sit and work longer May 10, 2017 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 March 5, 2017 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 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 ... October 5, 2016 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. but I guess I need to learn to read better. Otherwise September 23, 2016 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 July 5, 2016 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. Good looking chair, but weak armrest (read updates) July 31, 2015 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. | 11% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 5% My ass really hurts with this chair. July 27, 2017 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 March 30, 2017 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 May 12, 2016 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. 2 Stars November 7, 2015 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... Evenly priced chair for your hard earned money that brakes down really quickly August 9, 2015 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. Chair arm broke after a week. You pay for what you get with AmazonBasics July 19, 2015 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. | 10% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 8% You get what you pay for. November 11, 2017 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 July 24, 2017 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. May 5, 2017 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. Cheap fabric not worth $ April 6, 2017 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 January 19, 2017 horrible chair, seat cushion very weak, feels like sitting on wood. Just too much trouble to prepack and return. Gave it to my sons. Not described correctly December 21, 2016 Description was 34 to 38 inches. This measurement is commonly used for seat height. This chair doesn't come close. | 12% There are no reviews yet |
