Purchased on offer for 120. For that price I’m happy. Comfortable, adjustable and looks smart. Assembly was straight forward enough, no issues. The material catches pet hairs quite a lot and is a hassle to clean but same could be said for most materials, not a big deal.
Overall a decent chair but definately not worth over 200. I’d say 150 or less and you’ve got a good deal.
Really comfortable chair, has helped with back pain I was having while working from home. Had an issue when it was delivered but that was resolved pretty quickly. Highly recommend this chair.
The chair is fine. It’s not bad or uncomfortable and was quite easy and quick to assemble. Even though it’s primarily made from plastic it does feel robust a d from my experience good plastic chair can last north of 10 years so I’m not worried about longevity. The back rest is nice and comfy. I am 6 foot tall and found the head rest is a little bit too low at its highest position so I’d say beware if you are 6 feet and above and look for a taller chair or one without a head rest. The only thing that feels cheap in my opinion is the amount of memory foam at the bottom cushion. I wish there was at least another 2-4cm of cushion. It is firm and supportive but I am not sure how long it’ll last given memory foam does compact with time so it’ll get less and less springy and comfortable with time. I bought 2 chairs, one black and one white/grey/green. The white one is significantly more better looking and I wish I’d bought 2 white ones.
The last thing I’ll mention is that I bought the chairs on some sort of lightning deal for around 105 each. At that price I am happy but would never pay the full price of 170-180 and would have returned them if I’ve purchased on full price. Comparing it to the gaming chair I had before, I’d say comfort is on par but for 200-250 you’d get a significantly better memory foam cushion.
Easy to put together, solid, comfortable chair, however
The head rest is very low. I’m 5’10” and when leaning back the headrest is at my neck, not at the more comfortable head height. You can extend the height of the headrest slightly, but even at its highest setting it’s still way to low.
This chair is everything I had hoped for and at a reasonable price. It was also easy to assemble, which is always a bonus (and easy to adjust after assembled)
With home working now a requirement for both my wife and I we needed an additional office chair as we only had the one.
Took me a while to put together but then again most flat pack items do!
Had it for about 4 or 5 months now and its used on a daily basis and for a solid working day at a time and in that period there are no issues with the chair.
Reasonably comfortable for the long periods and would recommend
Very comfortable, everything I wanted plus more but only giving this 4 stars and not 5 is because the chair did not come with a manual on how to assemble the chair but overall it is grea
I’m a very heavy human and I can confirm that these chairs support me very well and the leaning mechanism works well too
Apart from that, I have no complaints, easy to assemble, good ergonomics for my height (1,70m) and I am satisfied with build quality.
Comfortable chair but has started creaking, tighten all screws bolts ect but is doing it again.
Whilst building I couldn’t help notice it was mainly made out of plastic so I had my concerns that the quality would be poor, after using for about a month my concerns were put to rest.
Only issue I have is the high cost for cheap materials.
I have been using this chair for nearly one year, it still great, worth recommending!
I did a lot of research and choose this one, just because it meets all my needs(ergonomic, adjustable, good materials and many others) and the price is reasonable.
After its arrival, I took a short time to put them all together, although the chair is a little bit heavy.
I found it works to improve the pain in my back and neck.
I would recommend it!
I am working from home since the beginning of the pandemic and using my old computer chair was causing back pain, which was really annoying me.
This one is ergonomic and has lumbar support. This means – no more back pain!
The chair is solid, spins freely and the padding for your bottom is comfortable. Caster wheels roll smoothly.
The headrest and armrests are adjustable, which allows me to adjust them according to my needs and change them as much as I want during the day.
The reclining function allows me to have short rest periods when I can just lay and relax before continuing my work.
And, I love the green color !
Highly recommended!
This is an exceptionally good chair, especially for the price point. So far had no complaints with the chair itself.
Will say that the instructions are not the clearest but not so opaque that you can’t put it together inside 30min.
Rightly or wrongly, I looked at Amazon’s own branded chair in the hope Amazon wouldn’t put its name to something shoddy. So far, I’ve no regrets about the decision. The chair was easy to assemble, doesn’t squeak and is very comfortable with just the right amount of adjustability.
I had never used a mesh-backed chair before, but it seems relatively sturdy. The lower backplate adjusts to ensure you have firmer support in the right place. The foam seat is comfortable and hasn’t shown any signs of sagging – and I sit on it a lot!
Overall, I’ve no regrets about the decision to purchase.
Very good chair, really solved my back and neck problems. Worth the money. It is a little trick to fix it. I will advise getting expert to fit the chair.
We are really pleased with the three chairs ordered. We find them supportive and comfortable.
It didn’t have enough support for me (6ft 2 with a taste for tension!) so I returned it.
Customer service is great and the seat is great for the price, if you’re after strong back support I’d be wary.
The chair is very good, easy to install, you can understand the installation tutorial of the manual, it is very good to sit on, and the adjustment of all parts is also very smooth and satisfactory.
I love my new chair, so does my kitten. He uses it whenever he grabs opportunity. Didn’t expect so heavy but good support.
Some of the screws were missing, but I didn’t want the bit that they affixed.
Why did i pick this chair? i was looking for mesh back chair (so much cooler; especially during summer) but not a mesh seat (which i find a bit uncomfortable; and with the increased friction; more prone to fraying); this is mesh back and padded seat; criteria checked
construction was simple, small issue with the diagram showing ordering of washers and spring washers not being very clear
you can choose to use the headrest or not… but do bear in mind theres a small screw cover thats likely to be a massive pain to get out if you suddenly decide you dont want a headrest (so dont install that cover until you’re sure)
theres a small amount of height adjustability in the headrests (though this is friction based so i doubt itll be super stable; especially if you adjust it all the time)
the headrest is comfortable enough; but its also so far away from my head in a normal seating position that i only come in contact with it when actively reclining (maybe thats a positive if you’re worried about it jabbing you in the back of head all the time)
you can choose whether you want armrests or not (or in my case; one so i can easily slide in and out the other side), theres a small amount (like a cm or two) of flexibility in how far out you want the armrests (or you can leave them a little bit loose so they slide)
armrests are height adjustable (its a button so theyre not going to just randomly slide down) and have a firm foam top (it has some give but i wouldnt call it soft)
theres a small amount of flexibility (only a cm or two similar deal as with the armrests) in how far back you want the back to be
i expected to dislike the lower back support… but i actually really like it; it doesnt feel like its jabbing me, it looks like theres a screw to remove it (i havent checked) but it does come preinstalled onto the back
bit disappointed on the upper back support; i really have to lean back to get my upper back in contact
overall… really comfortable chair (then again; im coming off of a beanbag; as a temporary standin for an older broken chair)… dare i say the most comfortable chair ive owned? probably; but its also amongst the most expensive of chairs ive owned (if you have amazon prime; wait for prime day)
small notes that arent about the chair itself
– i had a slow delivery; apparently due to stock problems (but this was coming off of a sale)
– extra hardware (screws, washers) is provided; which is pretty standard incase you’re missing or lost one… but still nice
– weirdly my box had a small pair of mesh gloves in it and i have no idea why; they dont seem to have a purpose and im assuming they werent meant to be there
This was my upgrade from a cheap argos chair so anything would be an improvement but so far so good with this one and I can spend hours in this chair without wanting to go to the couch. The only downsides are that the head rest height is not adjustable and the fabric smells like burnt plastic. Especially when I leave the house with windows closed and come back. Hopefully it will go away with time. Overall feels a bit cheap but is comfortable, I think its good value for money.
After a few weeks of use I must admit I am really pleased with the purchase. Assembly was relatively straightforward. The chair is comfortable. The functions such a tilt and height adjustments work well with no issues to-date.
At my last office we used Herman Miller chairs and whilst this chair doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the HM, it does the basics well and given the price point (I purchased it when it was on discount) it is good value for money.
Assembly was reasonably straight-forward and so pleased they included spare bolts and washers just in case – though whoever designed the rest of the chair needs to design the silver plastic screw cover on the headrest as the arms snapped for me (like many other people mention in the reviews) and I was soooo careful. It needs to either be made of softer plastic/rubber so it can flex slightly or it needs small grooves in the headrest for the arms to travel down during insertion.
Regardless, really pleased and feels much more solid than my old chair and the adjustable arms, headrest and lumbar support are great. A very happy customer!
I really like this chair, it is amazing.
First, it arrives fast and safely. Then it is really easy to assemble, especially with the installation video.
The most important, it is really comfortable. I have used one without headrest before, and suffer a lot of pain on my neck and shoulders.
But with this one, I feel good and comfortable. I can adjust the headrest with different position when I type or take a rest. Also the lumbar pillow and backrest makes me not so tired.
I would highly recommend it if you are looking for office chair or computer chair!
Quiet comfortable. Mesh back and headrest are good and comfortable allowing air circulation so no sweat or heat build up. The base cushion is good and firm but can heat a bit. Arms are good with comfortable rubber type texture but have no foe or aft adjustments. The headrest also has only vertical adjustment – it is a pity that it does not move forward or back.
Lumber support is basic but good. Looks good too so overall happy.
Purchased this for no other reason than I liked the look of it and it had decent reviews. Took 15 mins to assemble on my own, with no issues at all, very easy. The padding in the seat is firm but comfortable, a good adjustment in the arms and the height is good.
Overall very pleased with it, seems like it was worth the money.
Fast forward 12 months, still as new, used every day and standing up to everything I throw at it. Very pleased.
It’s good quality and very comfortable. It’s very good value for money.
Really please with this chair. It was very easy to assemble, although some of the screw placements could have been better (tough to turn Allen key due to other parts in the way). Feels very comfortable to sit on and sturdy.
The chair cushion is nicely padded, but would have been better had it been a little more shaped perhaps (it’s just flat).
All in all a decent buy though.
Overall I’d recommend.
Really good quality, easy to assemble and sorted all my back problems thanks a mil!!
Bought the first one to see what it was like. I was very pleased with the quality of the product, the ease with which it went together and the comfort of the chair. So we then bought a second one. They have a strong factory smell at first but this wears off over time. Definitely use the gloves because there is grease on some components. An electric screwdriver makes it easier, just don’t overtighten. The only niggle is the plastic cover plate on the headrest which is very awkward to insert & its easy to snap the side clips.
Comfy chair. Really worth the money for it. Perfect setup for work from home now. Thanks for the effective communication before purchase as well!
I like this chair! It’s really good quality and breathable! So comfortable!
Received nice and good. Quite on time when it’s needed the most! Comfy feeling and make my wfh a lot easier and more soothing.
This chair was designed for Human people to sit on for at least 8 hours, I came from “gaming” chairs and the difference is really noticeable in a good way. Most often, gaming chairs are really bad for posture and I used them for 5 years, this is mind blowing comfort and for good posture.
Super comfortable and adjustable for home working a good choice that I made
I need a “good” chair to work from home. I am a bit reluctant to order it and cannot participate in the test, but for this price, it is really a very good chair! Organize it yourself, but it’s worth it! You can adjust it completely, you can easily adjust the armrest in 3 positions (it can also be very high), it has good lumbar support, and you can adjust the chair “flexibly” (for example, you can lean back and make a phone call) The neck support is also very comfortable. All in all, I am very satisfied with this choice!
Didn’t expect much for this chair at this price but does the job .. as said before seat is wide if your packing on the sides
I decided to move away from the “Gamer Chair” aesthetic after having purchased many different types and styles over the years.
This chair is sleek, and stylish – That slight sci-fi eske back looks great when its tucked in under the desk.
The adjustable support and headrest allows for not complete but more than adequate control.
Just buy it, your back will thank you.
Didn’t expect too much but it turned out to be a brilliant buy. Chair easy to assemble and very comfortable. Tools are provided and even spare screws and washers. Very happy!
This chair is super comfortable and very easy to assemble. The build quality is also great.
Highly recommended!
The chair is fantastic. Easy to assemble, decent support and feels like it will be comfy for work from home office use.
I’m not really that tall and have to put the headrest at its highest. The wide nature of the headrest means if you try to use it to support you neck and back while working the sides of the headrest clip the wings of your shoulders.
I prefer this chair over my Herman miller Aeron and the Embodies at work.
Would be good if you could adjust the arm rest forward and backward, as you can only adjust its height.
Really comfortable, the only thing They could improve is the head rest height I Have a long body so touching my shoulders
Fantastic chair has alleviated a lot of my back problems
It’s made of good quality materials,the back rest and head support are just great!
As a small business owner who must spend a certain amount of time in front of a computer…plus a serious lower back issue…I desperately needed a chair with lower back support that was affordable. This one meets my needs. The flex function that allows me to lean back and stretch is super! For a budget friendly office chair with adjustments and lumbar support it is great!It comes extra with rubber wheels if you have hard floor.
I recommend this chair to everyone who needs to work long hours at a desk, and wants to keep a good posture and keep its body fresh, comfortable and relaxed.
Brought this chair as my old one broke, this was easy to assemble and the support is ok. It looks great, does the job and is of a good standard. For the price it’s worth it. Thumbs up.
great chair but also I spoke to the company selling and they were super helpful.
After almost a year working from home, like many of us, I decided to get a chair as my back was beginning to suffer. Quite easy to set up, but you do need a couple of you for some of the assembly.
So comfortable, supports your back and arms, no more back issues!
very satisfied with this purchase, i have bought the same for work.
The chair is easy to install and has no smell. I am very happy about it. The quality is good. The cushion is flexible and there is no noise when I sit on the chair.
I have had this chair for a few weeks now whilst working from home and I am very impressed with it.
The seat cushion is firm but comfortable, the arms move up and down allowing the chair to be rolled under the desk, back support is adjustable and there are no creaks from the chair.
I would recommend this chair if working from home.
I was fooled into thinking the gaming chairs were comfier than these standard office looking chairs until I started a new job and they had a chair just like this one that was super comfy.
I felt a bit foolish at that moment as I was expecting it to feel awful. But, It verified my need to get this chair and I’m not one bit regretful and would recommend it to anyone. Lumbar support is also great and I love that the lumbar support is adjustable up and down, as is the headrest and armrests.
It was really easy to put together and the only criticism I would have is that the silver plate that you push into the back of the headrest was a bit difficult to do but I managed it at the end (careful not to break it!)
Deliver quickly, really nice chair meet my expectations. The materials and workmanship of the chair are very good, ergonomic design as described , arbitrary adjustment, very comfortable, not tired at all.
Functional and very comfortable. Easy to assemble. Very surprised at the quality v price..
I am satisfied after using it for a while, the chair is very stable and there is no quality problem. The adjustment parts of the chair are flexible, not feel tired even sit in front of the computer for a long time.
Very pleased with the comfort and style of this chair.
There was an issue with the button on one armrest but this was resolved quickly by the supplier and a replacement armrest was sent and all sorted!
To answer to the first on Amazon, I read the reviews in the hope that they are from real reviewers and are being honest. Although they are not all positive for this chair, there was a good percentage that seemed to love it. Enough to make me think it was good enough to at least try. The fact that this is billed as an Amazon product certainly helped me think that I might get good customer service if I had a problem with the chair.
So how does it measure up on both counts. Well enough that I immediately bought a second one.
I’m over 6 foot and heavier than I used to be. Once I’d assembled all that I could of it – it’s easy to assemble by the way – I sat in it and immediately felt at home. It’s comfortable and stays that way all my working day. What couldn’t I include in the assembly? The headrest. My pack of screws was missing the 2 that I needed to add the headrest. One quick note to the supplier and replacement screws were on the way. Great service and they arrived promptly.
The second chair had a different problem. The packing for this one failed to keep everything in place in transit and one of the armrests had a permanent indent in as a result. It didn’t stop the chair from being great to sit in, but it was not really acceptable for a new chair. Another quick note to the supplier and a new one was on its way. They come in pairs, so I now have a spare as well!
Great chairs, great service. A perfect Amazon experience.
Good value, Easy to assemble and uses high quality plastics . Seat is a bit hard but I suspect it needs to get used a bit longer. Delivery arrived much faster than expected and customer support from Umi is great. Would recommend!
The chair is still very comfortable after being used for a period of time, there is no unstable situation and workmanship is really good. It looks good and feel relax whether it is for games or office work.
I am satisfied with this chair. The packaging is intact when received, and the support and workmanship is good after assembly. Comfortable to sit, head and back are not be tired even working at home for long time.
Lumbar support is just a plastic piece that moves up and down. Could be better, but willing to give it a pass.
Arm rests feel premium but are a bit slippy when the product is new. I’m assuming they calm down after a bit of use.
Very happy with the purchase.
Chair arrived with some screws and washers missing. Great communication from seller, and after a few days had replacements sent out.
Chair seems great now it’s in one piece, although yet to use it for a long period. Seems supportive and comfy so far.
This was a Christmas gift for our son , who is working from home. The five stars were on his recommendation for each category, he loves it.
I never tught much about the head suport but in this chair … I had a quick power nap while working from home 🙂
Very well packed for delivery, you get one extra piece of each type of asembely fiting just to be sure, and you even get one pair of white gloves for your hands… I mean, come on!!!… what else could you possible want? Big shout out to these guys from A to Z.
This chair is so comfortable and ascetically pleasing. The headrest is great, you can adjust it to different heights which is helpful.
I put this together on my own and yes a bit heavy for one person but it is doable and pretty easy.
It’s smooth to move on flooring and carpet and is a great chair for at home or for in the office. It doesn’t have too much tension on the back so your back feels nice and relaxed but in a great position.
It is an expensive chair as far as chairs go but I don’t think it’s too expensive for an office or a gaming station. The arm rests are nice too even though there is no padding on them they are comfy to use and don’t feel plasticky.
It has the right amount of adjustments (arms, height and tilt) although it would be 5 stars if you could move the headrest up and down (it’s not at the right height for a 6’1” man.)
Still for the price, it’s great.
Product quality – The chair is made of hard plastic, it looks like it is easy to have scratch marks, the base is not made from solid metal. It has plastic coating. The wheels are great. The seat cushion is comfortable to sit with. However, the back support that’s where I had a problem. I changed my gaming chair to an ergonomic chair maily for support and comfort but the back support of this chair is made of plastic and caused me back pain after using for about 3 days of 4 hrs average use. I have tried to get in touch with the seller. If this pain continues while I’m using this chair. I might as well return this
**edited my review as they have provided a quick solution. Customer service is good
Bought this chair to use to work from home. Very comfortable and supportive.
Very nice and confy. Very good support for you lombar. One thing that the seller don’t mention is that the arm rest are padded, very good to the touch.
The assembly instructions are straight forward and easy to read.
Definitely worth the price
The minor flaws were only in the the build quality in a couple of places. The bolts that held the base to the base plate, two screwed in nicely, two were a nightmare! I put this down to either poor threads or too much threadlock on the threads, probably the latter.
The arms are held to the seat by three bolts, these were very easy to overtighten and I heard one arm crack a little, even though I used the supplied washers. Not reassuring.
The wheels did not fit in easily at all, out of the five two pushed in. the others had to be forced in, well they will never fall out I guess!
Despite these flaws, I still think the chair is a bargain, feels solid when put together and should last a a long time.
I’m 6′ tall and these offer good support for lower back and head, arms.
it’s certainly nothing too fancy. you won’t be sitting on a baby-soft memory foam pillow, but the seat is still great for working longer hours. the chair offers free tilting, and is very stable.
the chair uses rollerblade wheels rather than regular wheels. you will probably need a sturdy surface to put it on if your office has carpet: weight is distributed on a smaller surface, so wheels sink deeper. this is hardly a downside: rubber wheels won’t destroy your hardwood floor, and if you use a hard chair mat – the sound of these wheels rolling over the mat is pleasant.
The chair was easy to assemble and looks quite good when fully assembled. The height of back seat is nice for someone around 180 cm , the wheels are soft on carpet, the seat has nice cushion. I had trouble with the back support as it felt quite stiff and hard on my back, so I have to use an extra cushion to manage. I do have issues with back support even with chairs in office environment. I shared my concerns with UMI who quickly and appropriately dealt with it.
This is a pretty decent office chair, with a firmly padded seat cushion and comfortable mesh fabric back and headrest, complete with adjustable height lumbar support. The chair comes in parts and requires assembly, though everything needed to put the chair together is included in the box and no additional tools are required. Indeed, there are only 15 hex head screws and accompanying washers to be added, everything else is slot together. It’s a quick and simple build. I liked that a spare of each of the small hardware items was included.
The instructions are well laid out and easy to follow, with diagrams for all of the stages. The diagrams are on the small side, but are clear enough to follow, and highlight parts being attached with the use of blue printing against otherwise black diagrams. The parts are itemised and pictured and for the hardware a guide with sizing information and a useful little pre-printed ruler is included in the instructions (though, to be fair, there are only 3 sizes of screw so it’s not too awkward telling these apart). A pair of protective fabric gloves is included in the box, though not mentioned in any of the instructions.
The chair has several points of articulation/adjustment: the gas lift; back tilt adjustment; as well as height adjustments for the armrests, lumbar support level, and head rest. Built, this is a good, comfortable chair and I like it very much indeed.
– Delivery and packaging was good, arrived swiftly and well packaged, nothing damaged.
– instructions fairly clear and took around 50 mins to assemble and tighten. They supply white glove which is good as you wouldn’t believe the colour of them once I had finished building the chair – must be covered in some kind of grease or dirt from manufacturing.
– once assembled it is easy to adjust to suit. Took me around 15 mins and found height, tilt, arm rest height, head rest and lumbar adjustments to suit
– one slight disappointment is that the chair could be a bit taller. At 6ft 2 it only just allows for my height at the maximum seat height and ideally would go another inch.
– look wise is smart but not great looking chair. I bought mainly for ergonomics so if you want something visually pleasing this is ok but not going to wow you
– regarding comfort I’ve been working from home for best part of year and I’m often on the phone from 8am until 7 in the eve and have generally found the comfort to be good. Because the arm rests can’t be dropped lower it does stop me being able to tuck the chair under the desk but more a minor issue than flaw. In general it is nice to sit on and have found it gives me the support I need particularly for someone who it tall and can suffer from lower back pain and poor posture
– overall I think this provides a good range of support, adjustments and comfort without breaking into the upper 200+ range chairs. Few things could be fixed including height adjustments and the silver insert placed on the rear snapped when I tried to fit but think still a solid 4 star chai
I thought I’d write a more detailed review about my UMI chair.I bought my UMI chair November 2020, these days I’m retired so I have a lot of time on my hands and I must say that the UMI is my go to chair. The mesh keeps me cool in summer and in winter it allows the heat from the radiator behind me to pass through the chair which just adds to what is a very comfortable chair.
Recently my chair developed a fault, one of the armrests had split so I contacted the seller and in no time I received a new armrest which was covered by the 3 year warranty.
Ecellent service and a 1st class chair.
Given there are so many chairs for sale this one seemed to be one of the best priced ones which had adjustable lumbar and other bits which the more expensive ones had. So while I’m no chair expert it seems well made and I’m glad I got it.
The wheels are a hard rubber so no awful noises on wooden floor or damage.
Easy to assemble. I am only one day in but no squeeks or any other annoying noises, the chair is silent.
The arm rests are a soft dense rubberyfoam. Tilt has two lockable positions, up right or tilted right back. Lumbar support is good.
All in all i am very happy with my purchase. It is quite a large heavy box the chair comes in and the poor DPD guy carried it all the way up the stairs without any handles on it!
Assembles easily. Good quality materials. Good back support. Looks good. Have had it for several weeks and it’s very comfortable. What more do you need? Very happy with my purchase
Back support ideal for long working hours and also reclines back . Reclines not as gaming chairs but enough to let you relax when needed.
High adjustable as needed, has large wheel base support. Which holds the chairs stable.
It came in flat packed box, which need to be placed together. Inside box it has clear step by step how to build guide. Quite easy to put it together. It supports upto 150 kg weight. It’s fine with me but better to check and make sure it will suits users size.
Overall great looking and comfortable office chair.
Very comfortable and super easy to assemble. The reclination of the chair is my favourite feature.
Edit: after instructions provided by the seller, we were able to adjust the dead support. We still wish it could be a bit higher, but comfort has actually improved and my husband is now able to use the chair. Thanks for your assistance.
The lumbar support on this chair is very good for the price. However the headrest, is too low for anyone measuring higher than 167cm (5ft 5). I have had to pass this chair down to my wife, as the headrest was constantly hitting my shoulders. By the way, I am not particularly tall – 180cm.
Very solid chair to use at home, comparable to the quality of my workplace office chair. Happy with my purchase even if a bit on the pricey side.
This is a very good chair The chair is professionally constructed and looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. The communication I received from UMI was also excellent. I could not fault them. The chair was delivered with 48 hours of my order. The instructions were also very clear and easy to follow.
I would recommend this chair for anyone under 6ft.
I had ordered this as I have previously used products from Umi and feel that they are really high quality products. I got this for my daughter to use while she is studying at home to keep her back more supported. I have personally used an ergonomic chair and found them to be a big improvement from traditional chairs.
When I got this, I noticed that this weighed quite a bit more than other chairs I have used. After checking the contents inside, I noticed that this had much more premium materials and felt really high quality. I managed to assemble it quite quickly as it came with all the tools and instructions to help with the assembly. I also used my electric drill driver which made it a bit faster. It took me less than 30 minutes to fully assemble.
After assembly though, the chair felt really great. It can support my rather large body quite easily but for my daughter, she was really happy with the amount of space she was getting on the chair. It is really comfortable to sit on and provides really good support for your back. It felt really sturdy as well.
It does have an ergonomic shape to help support my daughters’s back but as she is not as big right now, she had to sit a bit in the front and did not touch the back so couldnt make use of the back support. The head rest also didnt prove useful for her as she is not that tall to make use of that. It is flexible but does not go so low.
The seat is well cushioned and feels quite premium. It is similar to the chair I had in my office and my daughter has been using it for a few weeks without any issues.
Overall, I feel this is a really good ergonomic chair with premium parts and is priced quite well. The ergonomic features are not useful for a smaller kid so you have to be careful if you are ordering it for your children. I think there should be a minimum height and weight also mentioned here to provide clear guidance. 4 Stars
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this as the last mesh office chair I tried was really uncomfortable. This one is fine though. It has a padded seat which the other one didn’t and it seems to make all the difference. I may have a faulty one though as I can’t get it to stay reclined (by any angle) as it just ‘pops’ out and back to upright as soon as it is sat on. Aside from that it’s all good and I’ll live without being able to recline. Comfy chair overall.
All the elements look fairly cheap, but they assemble into quite comfortable chair.
The biggest issue chairs for <100 price range is that they become "wobbly" in a year or two.
I have got a comparison in my office and although this one is more expensive, it is from the same type of material. hardened plastic, the same screws sockets etc. its just a little bit better fitted.
Also - i am 6'2" and would recommend max height 6'1" but its not a big disadvantage. the headrest is poking into my shoulders when i sit straight and lean back.
I’ve put all the parts together by myself. It wasnt lightweight tho, but I managed. Instruction clearly shows what goes first and what is next, to assemble. We got bag with screws, including one of each extra, in case, and a pair of white gloves to wear when assembling (rather small-medium fitting), because screws are greasy.
Chair looks modern and is more than comfortable for us. It have thick and quality seat, breathable net like back of the chair with support against backache, also have head rest and arm rests.
Once head rest is assembled and the silver plate insert covering the screws it will be not possible to re-assemble it unless we damage the silver plate (it’s only about the headrest, rest of the parts we can undo).
Chair have an option to lay down the back under max 120 angle.
The wheels works very quiet and smoothly.
That’s unusual chair, I never seen before.. have few parts adjustable- lumbar support, headrest and armrest (press of the button), knob under the seat.
Chair have gas lift system to adjust the height of this chair.
When I mounted armrests I noticed there was an option to adjust them little bit within the screws and metal holes on the bracket (for bigger people).
This chair is definitely much better than our old one, cheap one. Makes huge difference to the comfort. My daughter loves this chair and uses it every evening. I used it too and love it. The old plastic swivel chair went on attic and I dont think will come back any time soon 😉
Personally, I think chair like this is expensive, it’s nearly 170 , not for my budget so I’m really grateful that I can own one like this.
This is the second Umi office chair I’ve tried, and it’s slightly cheaper than the first one, a mesh-seated one which at time of writing is priced around twenty quid more. However, it turns out that this is the better chair of the two for me. It does look a little cheaper- more black plastic, less aluminium finish- but it’s comfier, firmer, and more versatile than the other one.
In many ways they’re very similar. The building instructions are practically identical, and elements like the gas column are the same item. The back is stronger though, and gives you more concerted lumbar support that doesn’t just cave in and recline as soon as you lean backwards on it. The headrest is also a better fit for my (average) height, and feels like it’s been more planned out to how people actually sit, rather than how it will look.
The seat is a very plain-looking black fabric with a touch of gloss that makes it look a little cheaper than it actually is, but it’s actually very comfortable, with a nice firmness of foam that moulds around the shape of your bum and gives a kind of effortless support without making it feel like you’re sat on a trampoline. It’s not described as memory foam, but it has similar-ish properties and despite looking basic, the seat is one of the highlights of this chair. There are other good details too, such as the smooth rolling casters.
There are still certain limitations and disappointments on the quality front, for a chair in this price bracket. The adjustable arms feel particularly floppy and cheap, for example. There are fewer versatile adjustable parts than on some equivalent chairs, so elements such as the arm rests can only be adjusted in one plane (up and down), and won’t rotate.
Although this one didn’t come with scratches on it out of the box like the other one, it’s clear that whoever originally boxed up this product at the warehouse doesn’t enjoy their job, because the pieces are lazily thrown into a cardboard box with inadequate protection.
Assembly of the chair is fairly straightforward. It’s offered with assembly included, which would be useful if you’re in a big rush or you have a physical impediment that might make it difficult, but if you’re capable of building other flatpack items then you can build this in well under half an hour- even if you take a wrong turn and use the wrong size screws or put the base on the wrong way around, which I, erm, might possibly have done- but only in the interests of testing, of course
It’s not top of the range, and it doesn’t “wow” on the appearances front, but this is a very decent office chair that you can comfortably sit in all day, with quite a few positives about it.
