How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsMore Than What I Bargained For
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018
Is this forreal? For under $40? Lol. I honestly didn't know what to expect. All I knew is that I did not want just any kind of chair. I currently have 3 office-style chairs in my house that each sit at a desk. There are also a lot of fantastic, high-end, expensive desk chairs at my job that I work from. The three chairs at my home are just ok, with only one giving an overall sense of satisfaction. The ones at my job are exclusive and really comfortable to sit in. None of them are leather by the way. I happen to not be a fan of leather chairs and couches. They tend to be bulky, rough, and not so pleasant to sit in for long periods of time. I didn't want that for my new desk space.

I searched endlessly and tirelessly online for what I hoped to be a lasting chair that would provide ease, comfort, relaxation, durability, and bolstering. This chair by Furmax gets a 5/5 in every category. It took me just about 25 minutes to assemble (which is only because I'm not much of a handy tool guy). I'd say this chair takes 15 minutes tops to assemble when done precisely and correctly. The moment I sat in it, I was instantly relieved of any doubt or speculation that it wouldn't be of long-term use for me.

The seat itself, which you can see in the pics, is large, plush, and incredibly comfortable to sit on! I'm pleased every time I sit in it. I wondered if the handles would be hard when I was purchasing it, but they are actually totally relaxing while being firm enough to hold and lean on. The chair's back is quality at its finest with ultimate back support. Seating adjustment with the lever is as simple and easy as it gets, and the height just right! The wheels move smoothly and easily across my hardwood floor with absolutely no means of scratching or denting it.

This chair is total finesse! I wholeheartedly recommend it to you. It is the best of all my home desk chairs, and can even compete with the best of the high end office chairs at my job. For the price it is superb! Your entire body will appreciate you getting it this chair. Lol!!! What an awesome Furmax product. Happy buying!

1.0 out of 5 starsWas good, then bad
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018
Good so far. Not difficult to put together, outer packaging was trashed when I received the product, but everything inside was in good shape. Seat is a bit tight, so if you are bigger bodied it might not be the right fit as the arms are not adjustable.

Edit - on 11/26/2018 this chair exploded on me today while sitting in it. Never gave any signs of failure, but now is in multiple pieces. Two wheels broke simultaneously today leaving me in a heap of chair parts on the floor.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very good chair. For the money it is nearly unbelievable
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I’ve had it for just a couple days but want to add my positive review to the others. This is a very good chair. For the money it is nearly unbelievable. I assembled it quickly, although the directions weren’t of much use. I found it quite comfortable, exceeding my expectations by a wide margin. Some reviewers complained that it is narrow across their thighs. I’m 5’10,165 lbs and it fits me perfectly, although I suppose I can see that this might be a problem for some.

It is constructed out of materials of good quality. The plastic and cloth feel substantial. The hardware is of good quality. The engineering is superior. One reviewer claimed the arm rests came off when he stood up. Unless it was not assembled, this is impossible. It is a solid piece of furniture.

But, it’s not a $500 office chair. I had one of those once and this one is as comfortable but there are differences. But this chair would be an excellent choice for most office situations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solution to the weird front tilt issue
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Ordered this chair after reading so many good reviews. The chair is durable, moves well, and is fairly comfortable. Unfortunately the chair does not recline so take that into account when purchasing this chair. The one big issue I had was that it kept tilting forward when I sat in it.
On the bottom of the chair is a circular "tilt tension" mechanism (see the photo). Turn it tightly to the right to increase the tension and the chair will tilt less. I wish this was somewhere in the instruction manual but happy I found this solution. Hope this helps some of you.

Update: Also found out when I put together the chair I put on the bottom attachment backwards. Make sure the tilt tension mechanism thing is facing the front of the seat. This helped fix the tilting problem I was having in addition to the tilt tension fix.

5.0 out of 5 stars La mejor silla de rodamiento y apoyo lumbar. Suave, práctica y ¡muy buen precio!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2018

  Furmax Office Chair Mid Back Swivel Lumbar Support Desk Chair, Computer Ergonomic Mesh Chair with Armrest (Black)
«Cuando pasas muchas horas frente a la computadora quieres una silla que te haga sentir cómoda y te alivie el dolor del peso en las caderas. Después de muchos intentos de búsqueda, decidí que tal vez fuera esta, la silla apropiada para cumplir tal misión. La esperé con ansias y cuando llegó, inmediatamente tomé acción y comenzamos a armarla. Fue un poco tedioso el proceso, porque el instructivo no está muy claro. Puedo decir, después de más de 30 días de uso, que la Furmax Office Chair Mid Back Swivel Lumbar... cumplió su cometido».
* Tiene gran poder de deslizamiento. Me desplazo muchas veces de un lugar a otro dentro del espacio que ocupan mis dos escritorios.
*Mi espalda agradece realmente, el ángulo de las mayas. Puedo estirarme cual soy sin ningún problema, por dos razones: una, el respaldar cede con el movimiento haciendo grato el hecho de recostarme a él y dos; la suavidad de la maya es muy cómoda.
*Después de armarla, la medida del ancho del cojín es de 18.5 pulgadas. Mi esposo pesa 240 libras y le ajusta perfectamente bien, aunque sus muslos tocan los apoya brazos. Yo peso 195 libras y el asiento es holgado, quedando aproximadamente pulgada y media libre en ambos lados, en dirección al exterior (Hacia los apoya brazos)
*Recomiendo:
1- Los apoyabrazos, pudieran ser ajustables. Para mi gusto, están bajos.
2- Un cojín lizo. La tela original se impregna en la piel cuando estas muchas horas en contacto directo sobre ella.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Much A waste Of Money Loved it for about two weeks then nope
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Pretty much a waste of money, worked for about two weeks and I loved it but it doesn't keep the height and the piston constantly goes down while I am working, tried to get in contact with the people who made it and there was no way to get in touch with it. Would not recommend in the least.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Wooden Nightmare!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 GENERAL:
Our college dorms have these awful generic wooden chairs that you cannot sit on for more than two minutes - ugh it drives me nuts. I purchased the Furmax Office Chair and found myself in a much better situation.
The chair looks great and most people don't believe that I got it for $40. The seat is pretty comfy. The back of the chair is comfortable, but I would say it is meant to be more supportive than anything and is not really supposed to compare to something like a cushion-backed chair. It is two pieces of plastic behind mesh - again it feels fine - just probably not something for you if you plan to sleep around the office all day. I told my friend how much the seat was and he scoffed, but then he came to my room and sat in it for hours, so it did its job well. I like that the seat has six wheels - they have all worked perfectly. The setup took maybe an hour to an hour and a half and I am usually the slowly cautious type. One concern was that the seat isn't wide enough, but I am about 250 pounds at the time of writing and my legs don't tough the handles. Overall I was EXTREMELY satisfied with the purchase and I cannot wait to take the chair to my summer job!

THE PROS:
• Professional and visually appealing design
• Six wheels adds to balance and support
• Comfortable seat
• Can spin (if that is your thing)
• Great height leverage - can be short or tall for desk or for just sitting in a room with friends
• Amazing value ($40 at my time of purchasing)

THE CONS:
• Maybe the wheels could roll even better. Though they roll perfectly fine, I like to speed travel across the room.
• Sometimes feel uneasy when reclining. Though it reclines very well, in the back of my head I sometimes wonder if I am reclining to far and will break the plastic - which I don't even think is possible but I am paranoid.

IMAGES/VIDEOS:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great chair for the price.
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
My husband sometimes works from home and wanted an office chair to replace one of our kitchen chairs so his back wouldn't hurt at the end of the day. Honestly, I was skeptical of this chair being comfortable as it was only $40, but I'm happy to report that it has been awesome! We've had it about a month now and it's actually quite comfortable and supportive for long periods of time. It easily swivels around and adjusts high or low.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chair is very sturdy and was easy to assemble
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Chair is very sturdy and was easy to assemble! Only reason it’s not getting a 5 star is because it’s a little tight in my thigh area, and when I read previous reviews about this chair it was made very clear that it was spacious for such area. However they fail to mention that the arm rest is screwed from under the seat of the chair therefore it takes away that extra space for people with wider thighs such as myself! But overall, I’m happy it’s sturdy and have great back support. I’ll just have to sit with my thighs a little closer than expected when sitting in this chair, lol!
