Flash Furniture Nicholas Mid-Back Swivel Desk Chair with Wheels Mesh Back Padded Seat and Armrests Adjustable Height Mesh

I use to work in a call center and fell in love with the chairs we had at our desks. I even asked to buy one off the company for my own use at home, but they refused. After years of having issues with my lower back in computer chairs, I finally came across this one. It’s pretty much the same as the one I used at work and allows me to change the angle of the seat portion, so my back has felt great since getting this chair! I’m 5’5” and using aftermarket wheels on this, so I need the foot stool. I imagine if I used the standard wheels I would be able to touch the ground. I also wanted the adjustable arm rests because my last chair didn’t and it hurt my shoulders. The chair was easy to assemble and the padding on the seat is comfy. I hope it lasts me a while!

I've been using this chair for 5 months before I wrote this review. I've had no damage issues and the quality hasn't declined with daily use. This chair is a good purchase for the price and quality of the product. I'm 5'8" and around 145 pounds. I use the chair daily, and will be in it for 8 hours a day during college terms. The chair supports my lower back well, and the mesh on the back of the chair is firm enough to support but elastic enough to still be comfortable and conform to the contours of my back. The chair has enough adjustment mechanisms to keep the support focus on the lumbar spine, while tilting the seat at the correct angle to prevent tingling in the lower legs. The seat has firm cushioning, which keeps the chair comfortable and doesn't generate sore spots after repeated hours of sitting. Assembling the chair was simple enough. If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you can assemble this chair. I had no issues with shipping damage. I will mention 3 downfalls to the chair. First, the arm rests tend to rattle around when they're in the lowest possible position. The rattling stops if I raise their height, but the desk I sit at won't allow me to raise them beyond the lowest setting. While it doesn't affect the quality of the chair or how I use it, it's fairly annoying to hear the rattling basically every time I move the chair to sit in it, or pretty much any movement of the chair. I haven't tried to stop the rattling, but I would have to try and figure out how to remove the arm rests which is more time than I want to spend on a manufacturing issue. Second, this chair's lowest height setting seems fairly tall for someone of my height. I have it at its lowest setting, and my legs are just at the ideal angle to keep my feet flat on the floor. I can tilt the seat angle to help a little, but it's worth mentioning in case you are shorter than me. This could be addressed by placing something on the floor for my feet, but it's not ideal to do so. Finally, the seat cushion has a mesh liner covering it, which means small particles can end up between the seat and the mesh liner. Since I eat at my desk, small food particles can end up in that space. This is a minor issue, since a general sweeping motion with my hand or a towel will eventually catch the particles and send them flying onto the floor. Read more

This is an awesome chair for the price. It is super comfortable, with multiple ways to adjust for comfort - the adjustable arms were a must for me as I have neck and shoulder weakness so need that feature. The trade-off for having adjustable arm rests is that they can not flip out of the way. However these arm rests are designed well and are set back far enough that I can get to my keyboard with plenty of room to spare. My husband put it together for me while I took the dog for a walk, and by the time I got back, it was all ready to go - he said it was not difficult. It is comfortable for me at 5'6" and also for my husband at 6'3'. The only mistake that we made was assembling it in the house and keeping it in the house after removing the packaging. I would recommend opening it up and leaving it to air out in a carport or a garage for a few days at least - the off-gassing of the materials is horrible - it has been 5 days and the odor is still strong enough to affect me at the back of my throat when I am in the room. It is chilly here but I have had to keep the windows open whenever I am trying to sit in it and work and I am on the 4th day now. I know eventually that those chemicals will dissipate just like new car smell and new carpet, but yuck. Otherwise, I love the chair, super comfortable. Read more

For the price you cannot beat this chair. I've had the same office chair that I bought from Wal-Mart over 6 years ago, and it got so flat it really hurt to sit in for more than an hour. After upgrading my personal PC and getting into some longer gaming sessions, I knew I needed something that A) wasn't fake leather and B) had all of the support and adjustments I needed to personalize my sitting posture. This chair delivered on all accounts. The breathable mesh on the seat is thick, retains its shape, and the back is comfy yet durable. It was simple to put together, the rollers are high quality, and the adjustments are all strong and hold well. I can game for hours in comfort without having any pain in my legs or rear. The only gripe, and it's a small one, is the armrests are very hard. They work great for mouse/keyboard, but extended typing or using a gamepad and resting our arms against them at an agle really hurts your elbows after a while. I don't expect soft, padded armrests but that's just something to be aware of if you're buying it to game or you type a lot. I will buy this chair again when/if the first one wears out. *UPDATE 12/17/2015 - I still really like this chair, but the armrests have become the worst I have ever used. They're FAR too tall and can't be adjusted down far enough. After I have played Fallout 4 a few nights with an Xbox One gamepad, my shoulder is sore and my elbows are hurting. I ended up just taking them off and it works out, but I can see why more popular "gaming" chairs have armrests that adjust far lower or fold away. I'd still recommend this chair to anyone who works in an office, but for gaming use...probably not the best choice. Read more
