Worth the money

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020

I'm a small framed woman, originally I was a little worried to assemble this, but it was no problem at all for me.
All the parts needed for assembly were in the back of the chair, and the instructions were easy to understand.

Once put together, first thing I took note was how supportive and comfortable this chair is.. I have to work 9+ hours from home every day, so having a supportive comfortable chair is a must need for me.
I would recommend this chair.

Good if you only need a chair for a month

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020

The fabric/pleather on this chair has torn after a month of daily use. It was super comfortable, relatively easy to assemble, and I really enjoyed it for the time it was functioning. I would like to return the product but can’t ship it, especially with the pandemic. I never write reviews but this purchase ended up being a bummer. Give me my money back without a return Mr. Bezos, or send me a new chair.

So glad I purchased this chair for work at home during pandemic. It’s compact but comfy. Good price. I waited a bit longer in order to get the brown color and I’m glad I did. Fits the room decor nicely. Thanks Amazon Basics!

Very Nice for the Price

To start, some of the reviews left by others are...

1) Someone left a review complaining that after removing the parts packed in the back of the chair they had to use a pillow for stuffing. First I built furniture for years, all backs have dead air space. Once you remove the chair parts, the layers of batting are there and the pulls are fastened in place, there is no stuffing missing. Just zip up the back and assemble.
2) Another posted the base was sent backwards. Hum, not that they assembled backwards. There is a front and back, they are marked.
3) A few posted the stitching came lose in the seat. Again I built furniture and I can see no flaw in construction that would cause that, perhaps abuse, propping up feet, sitting cross legged, putting feet on seat with shoes on. After I assembled this one of our young friends sit in it and yep, shoes on feet went to seat.

With that said, read the instructions and look at the assembly photos before un-packing the parts. Lay out the parts in order of the photo assembly. Don't assume you got it and know how. Remember each part goes in a certain place and direction. Take it slow, look at photos often.

I think it took me 20 minutes from unpack to sitting it in and not one issue was encountered.

I really wanted white but they were out so I got brown but I really think the chair is worth the money.

PERFECT for me! Here's why:

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021

Color: BrownVerified Purchase

There were so many chairs offered by Amazon that I was overwhelmed. So I called my (really, anyone's) friendly American customer service rep (it was difficult trying to communicate with the offshore one I first connected to - she transferred me to America). After explaining what I was looking for, Vania - within seconds - found one for me in my price range and comfort needs and sent me the link. She mentioned it was an Amazon Basics item, and that, plus the photo, was good enough for me. Two days later, it arrived, and I put it together in about 30 minutes. The instructions were clear. The parts were STURDY steel, unlike some cheaper chairs. Spend more - it's for the good of your back and your safety!

The very comfy cushion looks and feels like leather. It's soft yet not saggy at all.

The wheels do not lock, but, as Vania told me, the chair "doesn't get away from you," either, and she was correct.

Amazon sells the same chair with the La-Z-Boy name, for THREE TIMES THE COST of Amazon Basics!

I buy everything I can from Amazon, for selection, service, and so much more. The blue Persian rug under the chair was also from Amazon.

This Chair WON’T Make You Coffee

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022

Color: BrownVerified Purchase

I was actually skeptical about buying this chair since I saw other reviewers complain that it’s not a good chair because it won’t support parts of their back, massage their feet and bring them a cup of coffee.

Glad I didn’t take that to heart and got the chair anyways

I am on a STRICT budget so while shopping I wasn’t looking for something “comfortable”.

I was surprised when I got this chair with how well it does in supporting me and my height. I’m 6’1 weighing in at 190Ibs and I feel good on this chair.

But let me make a PROS and CON list

Pros:
• Fits a tight budget
• Comfortable
• Fairly easy assembly
• Supports the back pretty well (im 6’1 keep in mind)
• The chair has A LOT of room. (I’m able to criss cross my legs while sitting on it. (I was surprised since I have big long legs)
• I daily this chair for work so it gets over 12 hours of use almost non stop. Still plenty of cushioning on the seat.
• The chair Leans Back

CONS:
• It’s not the most high end chair, parts feel somewhat cheap. (You get what you pay for)
• The arm rests are a tiny bit flimsy.
• No head rest
• the wheels definitely need to be changed. Not good at all.
• My chair favors leaning just a slight bit to the right when sitting

Do what you will with the information.

However, if you’re on a budget and are thinking “I desperately need a chair but one that will feel comfortable for just enough time for me to buy a better one”

DO NOT HESITATE to buy this chair.

Perfect for the Price

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021

Color: BrownVerified Purchase

I bought this chair in August 2020 as I was sick of my makeshift WFH chair. It was delivered fast, super easy to put together, and has been comfortable to sit in. I was a little weary with the reviews saying it doesn't have support or tears easily, but I have had none of these issues. Unless you are beating it up, it does not seem to tear easily. It looks like it is still in perfect condition. It is a bit smaller than a normal office chair but still a great fit. I plan to buy a second to replace my partner's old, broken, current office chair. Absolutely worth it.

Sturdy!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2022

Color: BrownVerified Purchase

This is my third chair for my home office. I waited awhile to write this because I normally break a chair in the first month or so. I am 6' tall and 230 pounds. Normally the plastic legs of a chair crack over time. This chair has metal legs. Very strong! Also comfortable. I thought the fake leather would be garbage. It is not. Breathable too. I don't sweat my bottom off and I am in Arizona with a lot of electronics in my office. Buying another soon.

What a tremendous deal!

When I ordered it I was first concerned about the quality because of the relatively low price. I just had it delivered and even though I waited for quite a while for this chair to get back into stock, I am more than please with it. It is better than I had anticipated and I am sitting in it right now while typing this review. I'm so happy and I keep trusting Amazon to guide me to do the right thing and buy the quality they suggest. Can;t go wrong!

Perfect chair for me!

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022

Color: BrownVerified Purchase

I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews here, but my worries were unnecessary.

This chair was very easy to assemble. Many of the parts were shipped inside the zipped covered chair back All the parts were packaged nicely, separately, and the illustrated instructions were easy to follow. From the moment I opened the box it might help taken about 40 minutes, then I was using it at my desk.

Features I really like:. The seat length is shorter than many I've used from the back of the seat to behind my knees, which is good for me since I'm shirt, just under 5 ft tall. I've always had a hard time trying to find a chair that I can sit in properly and not have to edge forward so I can bend my knees. It's nice to sit all the way back in the chair in comfort.

Another great feature for me, since I'm short, the top of the back of the seat is the perfect height for me to lean my head back. The seat back is ergonomic, supports my back well. It also is padded adequately. The arms are a good height and slightly padded. The chair raises up and down easily.

Plus, the chair looks really nice. It's very reasonable in price, easy to assemble, and looks good. What's not to like?

Good value basic chair

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022

Color: BrownVerified Purchase

The computer chair is easy to assemble, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Armrest right side came with some scratches but other than that it looks great. The back is hollow but luckily we rest on our back on the front side not the back so this is not a issue for me at least. The wheels and center bar snap together you just need to apply reasonable amount of force, so no the chair is not held together by gravity as some other reviewer stated. You need to line everything up and screw everything precisely, I tightened everything down good without over tightening as you could strip the threading. The only other thing I can think of that seemed fragile is the zipper, I was really gentle opening and closing it, and after you assemble the chair there should be no need to open that zipper again. Also when you rock the chair back makes sound of metals making contact. Even with all that said the chair functions great, is comfortable and usable for its intended purchase.

Just buy one, you’ll dig it.

Under $60, tons of comfort. Mid-back model is perfect, I’m 6 foot 1 inch tall 200lbd and I have ample room when sitting. Super easy to assemble, 10-15 minutes. Wheels are smooth on carpet, I’d suggest buying a pad as to not wear carpet with track marks. The headrest area has enough padding and the arm rests are comfy as well. Just buy one, you’ll dig it.
