Amazon Basics Ergonomic High-Back Office Chair with Flip-Up Arms and Lumbar Support 29 5D x 27 5W x

I initially purchased another product from Amazon to replace my old home office chair. The other chair was good-looking and easy to assemble, but the lumbar support was anemic. I gave it away to a colleague's college-aged son. It works for him. This chair is excellent and very easy to assemble. The lumbar support is substantial and dynamically adjusts with the chair's recline. Sitting straight up and working, the support is comfortably firm. Tilted back, the support relaxes like reclining in a well-worn baseball mitt. The quality of the material, stitching, and padding is excellent. The lift range is longer than other chairs I've had, so finding a comfortable height for any activity is easy. I'm a guitar player and record at my desk, so the retractable arms are convenient. The back might appear to support the neck or head in the photos. It does not. I'm six feet, and the padded upper back settles comfortably at my upper shoulder blades. As I said in the headline, the chair is a bit larger than I expected for my little home office, but it's comfy. Read more

When I assembled this chair, I ran into a problem that I was eventually able to solve, but I couldn’t find any instructions that would have shown me how. So to save yourself some time and stress: when you attach the back of the chair to the seat, you will need to connect a metal tongue protruding from the back piece to a similar part protruding from the seat. But it may seem like the piece from the back isn’t long enough for the two parts to connect properly. What I didn’t realize at first is that you might have to pull the part sticking out from the back with some force in order to get it into position. The reason is that the part on the back is meant to move in and out: it actually operates the mechanism that makes the lumbar support protrude when you sit up straight but retract when you lean back. So if it’s not sticking out far enough, just pull it smoothly but firmly until it comes out all the way, and you should be able to connect the parts as per the instructions without difficulty. This is a big, strong, sturdy, comfortable desk chair. It’s a good choice for a biggish person who wants a lot of support while sitting. The price is quite reasonable. But it takes up a fair amount of floor space, it’s heavy, and the arms are wide set, so if you’re not a tall person, you might not be able to rest both your elbows at the same time. I suspect that a medium-to-small person might be happier with a more modestly sized alternative. Read more

The deal on the brown leather chair was too good to pass up. I chose the brown leather versus the black leather chair and saved about $60 but the truth is that the brown chair looks better (in my opinion) than the black chair. The assembly couldn't have been simpler and the chair was up and working within 10 minutes. After making a few. adjustments, I have a comfortable and supportive executive office chair. I am able to lean back and rock the chair slightly if I would like too. So far with daily use, I have not tired of the look or feel of this chair. The leather seating area seems durable but time and use will end up telling the truth about the quality of the seating surface. I would definitely recommend this chair for the $109 that I spent and I would be willing to spend $200 or more after using the chair for the past two weeks. Read more

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I must have looked at 100 chairs and have owned a few....this is by far the best chair I have ever owned and I spend a good 8-10 hours in it every day......It supports so well and flip up arm rests means it can fit under the desk and out of the way when it is not in use. It has excellent lumbar support and my butt doesn't hurt for once in ages....Ease of assembly, don't really need the instructions if you've put one of these chairs together before. <My only gripe are the wheels....They are hard plastic and they sound cheap and terrible on tile, so I switched them to the quiet nylon wheels I had on my old chair....now I have the best of both worlds. Height adjustment: Height adjustment and locking and unlocking the back rest are done by two small paddle actuators on either side of the chair. Read more

I bought this for my music studio where I move around a lot to and from the desk. I was also able to raise the arms and play guitar, mandolin and fiddle. It was very comfortable for the few hours I used it, after I put it together. Assembly was really easy. I only needed to look at the pictures to see where a part was supposed to go. Once you got that it's a piece of cake. I was going to buy a lazyboy but the reviews were scary. I saw this one on amazon and saw the reviews and thought I had better go with this one and save some money. My wife said she loved it. She came into my studio and sat in the chair and did not want to get up. I was surprised when she said she loved it. I may have to get another. Read more
