Having been working at home for some months now and with it looking set to continue, I decided to invest in a “proper” desk and chair. I didn’t want to spend a fortune and opted for this one, hoping it would be OK. When it arrived, I was surprised by the weight of the parcel, expecting something more lightweight. I opened the box and there seemed to be a lot of parts which made me panic slightly, but the instructions were clear and in under 20 minutes, the chair was assembled. It is extremely comfortable and robust and I would say absolutely excellent value for money.
I am sat on it while writing this review. Cheap but cheerful (the chair that is). Sturdy construction and easy to put together.
It was so easy to.put together even for an old amateur like me.
Comfortable you do not get hot and sticky when you are on it for a long time and great support not to bulky
Very good chair-only gave it 4stars for assembly because of its size made it cumbersome!
Was concerned about quality given the price but the chair is sturdy, comfortable and perfect t for my use.
Great value for the money. More than comparable with more expensive chairs
Started using this is the second day no complain apart from hard surface for hand rest. But no issue for the amount you pay.
I purchased this product having been working from home since March, it’s easy to assemble, very comfortable. It’s light weight therefore easy to carry up and down stairs when I ‘take down’ my office at weekend and doesn’t dent the carpet. It was a recommendation from a friend who also purchased the item .
Arrived a day early and was pretty simple to assemble, the cost was really good tbh and it’s sturdy and comfortable. Was concerned with some of the reviews but glad I bought i
I was dreading receiving the self assembly chair, but took less than 15 mins. Really happy with the chair. Highly recommended.
Great value for money. Easy to assemble and simple to adjust up and down. Perfect fit in my little office
Great looking sturdy chair with easy build instructions. Fab value for money
I purchased this chair used labeled as in very good condition with minor damage to the back or bottom. The chair itself seems to be in perfect condition, but it wasn’t in parts as suggested in the instructions and this made placing the plastic cover on the part support pole that raises the chair up and down difficult/partially impossible (only 2/3 pieces could be slid on). Also there were a couple of missing washers in the package, which might effect stability in the longterm as I completed putting it together without them…
The instructions are also a bit unclear because they say you’re meant to have more washers/bolts than needed but also tell you that there may be extras in addition to the number stated! Otherwise it seems to be a comfortable chair and the price-point is good. Assuming no missing pieces, I’d recommend it.
I needed a seat that could raise me higher to align with my screen. Perfect!! You can leave the arms off if you wa
…and for the money, they’re both ok.
I’ve had one in my office for about two years, and I use a padded seat cushion because the chair padding has been squashed beyond use (I’m 15 stone). I don’t remember struggling with assembly. However…
The second one turned up for the wife’s study yesterday. Getting the back on it was a nightmare. The suggested bolts were far too short – I used the bolts meant for the arms instead. Even then, it took two of us to squeeze and hold the back to the seat so that the bolts could catch. I used a drill driver – I couldn’t have completed assembly with the allen key.
Otherwise it looks to be the same.
The chair was very easy to assemble andis very comfortable to sit in.
Fast delivery. Looks great, easy to assemble. Very comfortable, great height adjustment and good adjustable back rest. Free running castor wheels. Ideal height of armrests.
Arrived yesterday, instructions to build are very clear and straightforward. One minor point, better if the diagram showed the forward facing arrow on the underside of the seat.
Ready for use
The only negative point is the arms of the chair are not adjustable and they are too low for me so had to remove them. It would have been a perfect chair apart from this.
Does exactly what I wanted it to do – perfect for working from home
Easy to assemble ,good instructions except I would leave the arms until last to fix to seat.
A well priced office chair that has prevented back failure during lock down. Very pleased.
Bought this for my University going son. Takes up less space in the room than his last one; is very light weight and comfortable to sit on, all day long.Easy to assemble.
This chair is excellent for the money. I use a cushion at my back but that is because I am under five feet tall do need to sit forward in the chair.
I received quickly. It is easy to put together and comfortable enough for work, and it has a good price.
Lovely chair has saved my life whilst working from home.
Good padded seat and light and easy to move around.
Great value for money.
One of the 4 screws under the seat base would not fully screw in but it’s fine.
Quality chair purchased for working from home. Very simple to put together with clear instructions. Comfortable chair with good back support .
Excellent chair an very good value for money.
My previous chair failed after 15+ years and as I am currently working from home needed one in a hurry.
No regrets
Have just received this 3 days early, thankfully. My 5yr old abd I put it together in 15, max 20, mins. Super easy. Moves up and down easily, super smooth and sturdy. Back rest doesn’t move as I expected and the arm rests are a little low but to be honest I couldn’t be more delighted now I won’t be sitting on an industrial kitchen chair anymore working from home. Excellent quality for the price. I strongly recommend.
Chair is very easy to assemble. Really comfy and perfect for working from home. Was not disappointed 🙂
A comfortable chair and assembled in less than an hour. I am happy with the result. It also arrived earlier an advertised. Brilliant.
I bought this chair for my home office during the Covid pandemic. It was the only chair that was still available when the lockdown started. I did not expect much and was pleasantly surprised. For 40 pounds it is an amazing chair and indistinguishable from other much more expensive chairs in my actual office.
Thanks to amazon, we bought this chair at the beginning of the lockdown. Easy to assemble, the chair is very confortable despite being used every working day for the past 3 months
For a very inexpensive chair it’s incredibly comfortable. Easy to assemble. The back doesn’t adjust but for the price it’s still a good buy.
Arrived well before the estimated date.
A good buy to see you through working from home during lockdown.
Fast delivery, easy to build, comfortable for a good few hours at a time. Thank you great chair to set up Home Office quickly on a budget.
The chair was brilliant it took about 10-15 minutes to put together and is very comfortable and is very supportive
Instructions are very clear – could not be more so. There is also great lumbar and leg support.
I’m very impressed.
Got it for great value at the time, easy enough assembly, I’ve tightened the screws twice with the allen key since I initially put it together. I’d maybe recommend checking the tightness of the screws monthly to ensure they aren’t loosening with normal use. Comfortable chair and does the job
Great chair for a great price. I suffer with back pain and this helps by supporting my back in the right places. I like the fact it doesn’t flex/tips back so you can push yourself right back into the supports. It tilts forward slightly to give you the correct posture. The chair is generally comfortable and well constructed.
For the price this is extremely good value, and sits very well.
just what i needed. the extra height is a bonus
This is a really comfortable office chair, I use it when sat at my sewing machine, it’s supportive, high quality and easy to assemble.
Brilliant!! Excellent value, very sturdy and delivery was quicker than expected, would definitely recommend
Easy to assemble. Not terribly robust but does the job.
This seat was delivered in a kit that was relatively easy to put together. All the parts seemed solid and well made and my wife is very happy with the comfort it provides. We have only had it for a few weeks but from what I have seen so far it appears to be very good value for money.
This is just what I needed.
It was a doddle to assemble and I feel the benefits already – many thanks 🙂
This chair is less substantial than some office chairs, but very much fit for purpose. It was easy to assemble.
This desk chair was exactly what I wanted. I had to assemble it myself, and I’m old and full of arthritis, but by following the instructions I was able to do it by myself, and I’m very pleased with it. I use it every day.
Bought for my son in university digs.
Easy to assemble and looks good.
Seems quite robust.
Provides adequate support and can be adjusted to fit.
Ok chair for the price.
Really easy to assemble as long as you follow the instructions, literally took me 20 mins. I find the seat very.comfortable. Considering the price I think this good value for money.
I spend a good part of my day in this chair, and it is very comfortable for a 6ft 13.5stone chap. Also, easy to assemble and quick delivery.
This is a pretty good chair for the money. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that, (unlike a smilar one I bought on Amazon some time early for same sort of money), this one has no ‘give’ in the back.
Bought for an office project, the assembly took a while (literally down to nuts and bolts) but the resulting chairs were sturdy and comfortable!
Very comfortable for the price you are paying for. The only downside is that it does not have a headres
Got this chair as I had been using a dining chair as my office chair. It’s so easy to put together I didn’t have to ask for help! It’s sturdy enough and the seat is deep and firm without being too hard. It’s definitely made sitting for long hours easier and more comfortable. And you can chose to leave off the arms which I have done as I don’t use them
A good day to day computer chair. Easy to put together and it seems to be fairly stable and robust. Height adjustment is easy.
I had to request a replacement as pretty soon after purchasing the webbing on the back rest was coming away , no problems with replaceme
For the price this is a great chair. Easy to put together. The support is fine. The only issue is the seating which is fine but not the most comfortable. Again what I’d expect for the price.
Easy to assemble very comfortable fits nicely under my desk. I’m short so was worried it wouldn’t go low enough but is geea
A Year ago I bought a leather one like this with a price tag of 146 pounds from a retail outlet. After one month returned it as it was hard to assemble in the first place it did not give me the support promised and was extremely clumsy. I then decided to look further and found this one. Now, I am disabled and wow it was a brilliant find.It gives great support easy to assemble (4mins) very comfortable with brilliant price tag. I am over the moon with this chair. G.P.W.
When I ordered this chair I was concerned there may be some complicated assembly involved. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
All the parts were clearly labelled, including fixings. The screws and washers were even separated in the packaging to avoid any confusion. The step-by-step assembly guide could not have been clearer or simpler to follow. It took less than 30 mins to put this chair together.
My only feedback would be regarding the chair arms. If they were adjustable, rather than fixed, I would have been happy to give this chair 5 stars across the board. Very happy with this product.
Really good, comfortable chair. Easy to assemble. Sometimes the height adjustment gradually gets lower by itself.
I find this office chair It to be excellent value and good quality. It was well packaged and easy to assemble using the very clear instructions included.
For assembly you have to:
1. Push the 5 castor wheel feet onto the base ( very easy)
2. Insert the gas lift tube into the base( very easy)
3. Put the gas lift tube cover on the tube ( simple)
4. Fit the arm rests to the seat ( very easy just make sure you use the rignt bolts and these are clearly defined and in a multi compartment sealed package with other bolts and washers).You use the Tool provided for this task and no other tools are needed). All of the bolts holes are pre drilled ready to go .
5.Fit a metal plate ( with seat back tension controller) to the seat base using 4 bolts plus washers.
6. Fit the backrest to the seat using 4 bolts and washers
7.Locate the seat onto the base unit and adjust height with the side lever .
Overall it took me 20 minutes to assemble and just take care to lay out all of the bolts and washers ready to use
It is a very comfortable seat with adjustable backrest tension. I highly recommend this seat.
I needed a new swivel chair to go against a rather high work bench in my study where my late wife used to sew. This fitted the bill perfectly as it rises enough for me to sit against the work surface at normal level. Took less than ten minutes to unpack and assemble and appears to be quite sturdy, certainly better than some much more expensive versions I have bought in the past. Comfortable in use over long periods and the castors roll easily and without marking on a thick carpet.
Good value for money
Very pleased with purchase would recommend
It was a present for a Grandson to go with a desk his parents bought him, he is over the moon with it. He says he feels very important sitting at his desk — he is ten years old!!!
Quite easy to assemble and very comfortable. I use it at my home desk office and it is very comfortable and looks good.
For the price I am very pleased with this chair. Easy to construct. Light-weight yet robust enough for home use. Comfortable and easy to adjust. Does not take up too much room and arms fit under my pull out keyboard.
I just needed an extra office chair nice and basic but with arms, the arms are really low so basically pointless on this lol but others good value easy to assemble.
As a chair for a home office that is not used regularly for any length of time, this chair is very good value for money. Delivered promptly relatively easy to assemble. Pleased with this purchase.
Great value chair considering it has gas lift suspension, adjustable tilt and a mesh back. This one is used in a home study and is perfect for the purpose.
Arrived yesterday…easy to assemble…cant believe how comfortable it is…why didn’t I buy one before instead of an old chair and two cushions
Excellent so far. My 15, year old put it together and was very happy with the results.
This chair was so easy to assemble & its comfortable especially as I work from home and do roughly 8 hrs per day. A great addition to my office.
I absolutely love this chair! I wanted something that would not take up too much space in my bedroom, where I have all my computer equipment . The chair was easy to assemble (although it was a bit tricky with the washer and screws for the seat), but it took no more than half an hour. The seat itself is comfortable, I feel supported with the back rest, I have quite long legs, so it can be adjusted up or down as needed. For the money this is a very economical chair!
A really good chair for the money. Comfortable and easily altered to suit different heights etc. I have not used the arms so it fits easily under the desk. It is very light and mobile, a ‘stop’ on the wheels might be useful but overall this is a good, strong chair.
It took me about 15 minutes to assemble and it works like a dream. Unexpectedly, the chair is very quiet when you move/roll it, I half expected them to be squeaky/noisy/not smooth – but they’re a dream. Adjustable back and height. For always sitting up straight it does enhance your experience to use a small cushion in the lumbar region. It’s quality, strong and sturdy – feels good to sit in (and I’m over 6′ /200 Ibs).
In our sons bedroom – comfortable and has taken a hell of a lot of use over the past 2 months.
So far so good.
Great quality for the price paid
Bought for a friend who has difficulty walking and getting out of chairs. The swivel action allows her to get up a lot easier from the dining table so she is very happy.
Nice chair for my den. Easy adjustments and fairly comfortable, although the back coud do with being a little higher.
For a low cost chair, its really solid and comfortable. I’d prefer the back to swing a bit more, but considering I wasn’t expecting the back to move at all in a chair this price, I’m pretty happy with it.
Got the chair today. Assembly was very simple and quick. At first I thought the seat felt hard, but once we put it together and I sat on it I realised it’s very comfortable. It does come with everything you need to assemble including an Allen key.
I did want a chair that could tilt back, and this chair does that to an extent, which is good, but you can’t lock it on a tilt which is unfortunate. Overall first impressions are very good! Updates to follow in a few weeks.
The bolts don’t go in easily but an ok chair for the price.
A very comfortable office chair! Easy to assemble, would buy again!!
Good value. Sturdy comfy adjustable.
But I was not able to tighten one of the four screws that hold the chair to the base.
So far so good, after several weeks. Comfy and the tilting is great. For the price its great value.
easy to put together though armrests need to be at least 4 inches higher to be any use, comfy squab
Good chair. Great value. A bit tricky to get the arms on but other than that perfect for my son.
Nice, comfortable chair. Easy to set up.
Arms are too low making them useless.
Badly let down by poor assembly instructions. Pictorial instructions are not as good as simple English instructions.
Bought 2 of these for our home office. They are extremely comfortable to work in. 4 stars rating because they were very difficult to put together- took over an hour in total! If you’re willing to put in the effort they are worth it though.
Instructions were clear.
The back seem to become a bit loose over time but I suppose it is to be expected for the price
Overall satisfied
