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.

Great Office Chair for the money

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

After reading all of the reviews I decided to purchase the AmazonBasics office chair. I like the fact that it is light weight to move yet very sturdy to sit in. It does start to feel hard after a few hours of sitting in it. The seat height adjustment is great to have and works well. I lower the seat to put on my shoes and raise it again while sitting at the computer. There were a few comments about the vinyl covering. It looks very nice and feels very soft. I don't know how long the covering will last. All-in-all the AmazonBasics office chair is a good value for the money. Be careful when installing the seat to armrest screws. They will strip on you and/or the threads will pull out the chair stuffing if you miss the hole while turning the screws in.

the chair back rest was hollow

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

the back rest was hollow, when i received the product in the box all the parts were inside the back rest zipped up. once i removed the parts there was no padding. I had to use a harbor freight moving blanket folded up and stuffed inside the back rest which now makes it perfect. :) but still wtf you dont buy a desk chair and expect the back rest to be thick and hollow like really this isnt a pinata. Only buy if you have a spare blanket you dont want and would like to use as internal padding for the chair. but overall with the harbor freight blanket i stuffed it with its a really nice chair lol ...................note harbor freight moving blankets is like 5$ just an fyi (decent padding folded up makes lots of padding)

Unfortunate

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Received chair and all of the parts for assembly are zippered into the back of it (unfortunately)- it makes little sense to do this. After unzipping the back I noticed one of the zippers teeth were missing and subsequently the zipper went off it’s track and came apart. I continued putting the chair together and figured I would try and deal with the zipper later. The chair itself was simple to assemble. However it took a lot of finagling to get the zipper back together and it will still require a dab of glue to keep its hold. If your wondering why I did not return the chair - it’s because it took weeks to get to me in the first place and I didn’t want to wait for the exchange as I needed an office chair. Had really hoped for a better experience.

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!

Since quarantine started my husband has been working for 8 hours a day from home using a fold out chair and never complaining once. I read some of these reviews and it’s crazy how entitled people are. We do what we gotta do— there is absolutely nothing wrong with this chair. It’s extremely soft comfortable supportive and what you’d expect from an office chair. I bought it for him and put it together for him myself without him even knowing. If I can put it together anyone can it was super easy. It is very comfortable and supportive and he said he didn’t know how much he needed it until he got it. I’m grateful to have it for him.

I used the chair for about 3 weeks and there is already a tear in the seam of the seat.

This is the worst purchase of my life.

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This is, I believe, the most worthless purchase I've ever made. I am simply flabbergasted that Amazon puts its name on this product.

I'm a fairly handy fellow, but it took almost two hours to put this chair together, and wow it's an awful chair.

Major problem#1: The back of the chair tilts slightly forward at about a 95 degree angle to the seat, and that can't be changed -- the screws are meant to go at that painful angle.

Major problem #2: The chair does not tilt. The mechanism that's allegedly supposed to allow tilting does nothing; doesn't matter whether it's pushed in or pulled out.

Major problem #3: The knob that's supposed to control tension also does nothing.

Major problem #4: The back of the chair is hollow — no stuffing. You're sitting on a layer of cloth with nothing under it.

Major problem #5: The piston is held in place only by gravity, so the chair comes off its wheels when lifted.

Major problem #6: The back of the chair is about half an inch wider than the armrests allow, putting undue stress on the screws which I'm sure would give out within weeks if the chair was usable.

Since it's not usable, this chair is going straight to the dumpster. I am *not* going to wrestle with un-assembling it, repackaging it into its box, and getting it to a UPS drop station for a return. I'd rather just throw it away and get the rest of my evening back.
