Amazon Basics Classic Puresoft PU Padded Mid-Back Height Adjustable Office Computer Desk Chair with Armrest, 26″D x 23.75″W x 42″H, Black by Amazon Basics

For the price, definitely 5-stars. I bought two chairs for my office. I am a 55 year old female, and the chair took 17 minutes to put together after laying out all of the parts and reading the instructions. The chairs look nice and are comfortable. If I had a critique, the “leather” seems like it would tear easily. In fact, during assembly of the chair, I scraped the back of the chair with a tool, and it damaged the material.

Pretty solid chair for the price. Feels soft, comfy, and looks clean. Setup was easy — done in about 15 minutes. The wheels roll smooth and it doesn’t squeak at all. Been using it every day for work and no issues so far. Honestly, way better than I thought it’d be.

This chair is to replace an older chair that had simply worn out over a span of about 15 years of use. I was looking for a quick, budget minded replacement and then will spend probably weeks looking at a higher quality chair, with full high back. At this price, I was not expecting a high quality chair, and that is what I got. It is more or less easy to assemble. It can be a bit tricky when assembling the arm rest. I loosely attached the back two bolts, then the seat. I did the same on the other side, and then tightened them in sequence : Outer back and outer seat bolts, then inner back and inner seat screws. The threads on the back and seat frame are pre-machined but with very little tolerance so you need to be careful not strip them out if you start them at even just a slightly off-angle. Assembling the base and height adjustment assembly went much easier. The chair has a metal inner frame, and base is also metal (there is some wood on the inside sides of the back and perhaps inside the seat). There is some plastic in the base assembly, but that is only cosmetic. Armrest frames are plastic as well. I also replaced the wheels with higher grade wheels I already had on hand (these have a slightly wider tread as well as slightly larger diameter). Finally I went back through and retightened all the screws, taking care not to overtighten. Assembly completion from opening the box to final check was about 30 minutes.

The faux leather covering is what you would expect in a chair at this price range. The seat padding is very firm (too firm?) but not uncomfortable for me, but will have to see how it feels after a long session at my computer. The biggest disappointment is the nearly hollow back with NO filling or padding (this is where the parts are stored when shipped). Very little to no support! I had a large bag of batting I was going to use for another project in the near future but decided to stuff it into the back (the bottom has a zipper … remember, this is where the parts were stored). I took care to install the batting evenly, taking care not to overstuff. It made a big difference. The other disappointment was that, although listed as a mid-back chair, it is just barely that. Many other chairs (higher price) typically have at least a 24″ inside back length for a mid-size chair back, as measured from the top of the seat … this one is 22″ The seat depth could have been maybe and inch deeper, as many chairs at this price have (this chair at 17.75″ is barely enough). I am 5’11” and wight about 190 lbs. If you are taller or heavier, this chair might not work well for you. (My daughter, who is medium build at 5′ 7″ thought it was comfortable for her). So here is my summary:

PRO: Good price. Seems to be sturdy enough with full metal frame and base. Assembly a bit tricky but just need to be patient and have good lighting.

CONS: Seat depth a bit too short. Back offers little to no support without some fill (DIY).

So overall, this will do until I can spend some time to look at chairs in person, with better overall quality.

Amazing chair! I actually use it in my kitchen. It goes well with my other chairs but I use this one. Easy to put together too

Una gran compra, la recomiendo 100% si te vas a pasar horas sentado en la computadora, el asiento no se siente duro y no cansa, todos los tornillos encajan perfectamente, las instrucciones son muy claras, solo que al ser de vinipiel, al contacto directo con las piernas (si estas con short) sudas en exceso, pero es normal, puntuo con 5 estrellas por que es lo maximo, si hubiera mas, seria mas sin problema
