Amazon Basics Mesh Mid-Back Adjustable-Height 360-Degree Swivel Office Desk Chair with Armrests, Lumbar Support and Easy to Assemble, Black

A fantastic chair – with fantastic support – both kinds!
I’m generally a big fan of Amazon, I’ve been a Prime member forever, and I buy, well, almost everything from them. I’ve often been impressed with their AmazonBasics line, and this chair is no exception.Since many questions come up about comfort and support, I’ll mention that I’m 5′ 7″, 215 lbs, 48, male. Not huge, but definitely overweight. I’ve gone through many chairs – some just wearing out, and some I’ve had to get rid of. Most “normal” chairs tend to bend, wear out, or come apart in some way, after a while, and while I tend to prefer “heavy duty” chairs, those chairs tend to be so uncomfortable after a time that it’s like sitting on wood.So I admit I was hesitant about this chair – but two things caught my attention: the fantastic price (compared to other chairs), and the AmazonBasics name.While it is true that “Basics” implies… well… “BASICS”…. this is BY FAR the most comfortable chair I’ve ever owned. The part you sit on has a perfect and generous amount of cushioning that has stood up to repeated use, and still remained soft. I frequently have pain at the base of my spine, and I *notice* when a chair is uncomfortable. With other chairs, I”ve had to use pillows or extra padding, but this chair is absolutely amazingly comfortable, even after 7 months of constant use (purchased this in February 2016).The seatback is also awesome – it’s made of a kind of nylon mesh netting – not metal (as you’d think from the pictures) but soft material. This stuff is so much more comfortable to lean back into than any normal chair back I’ve tried, that I find myself leaning back into OFTEN – whereas with other chairs I would avoid leaning back at all. So… bottom, back, lumbar support – all there, and really amazingly nice.Of course… BASICS. So the armrests don’t adjust and are not adjustable even during assembly – and the same for the back. The back does “go back” a little, and there is a “push to lock” option on the control arm – but that’s it. Up/down, lock/unlock, that’s all you get. (There’s some kind of knob on the front that I suspect controls tension, but I never mess with it, it doesn’t seem to make a difference to me.)Assembly was easy. The screws take an alan wrench (hex key) tool, which comes with the chair. I’ve seen people commenting on screw holes not lining up, causing the back plate to overlap the bottom plate. Here’s the thing: IT’S SUPPOSED TO. Just follow the instructions, assemble the chair in order, and tighten it down. The chair will come out fine, and perfect, and you’ll love it. Assembly was typical for an office chair – but I was able to do it myself. This chair is lighter than most, which makes assembly quite easy.Now… not all is sweetness and light here. About 7 months in, the cylinder in this chair started to fail. I’d be sitting on the chair, and it would suddenly JERK downwards about half an inch. Then it would wait about 30 minutes, and JERK down again. UGH! It was not fun! But here’s where the AmazonBasics (and Amazon!) really shines: Since this is an “Amazon Product”, there is a one-year warranty noted right on the product page… and it’s administered… BY AMAZON! YAY! They didn’t even make me call some other number or company or anything. I just went to MY ORDERS, hit the “Return or Replace” button – this was 7 months later, mind you! – and sent a message. Within a few hours, I heard back from an agent asking if I’d like a refund, or a new chair? WOW! Really? Awesome! I mean… I was a little sad that they couldn’t just send me a new cylinder and bottom part or something, but, hey, a whole new chair, okay. They sent it free, with free overnight shipping, and i had it the next day.And let me just amplify on this: I kind of wanted to try to fix this myself. I saw on Amazon where they have replacement cylinders you can buy. And if you have a big hammer, you can apparently “bang out” the old cylinder and replace it with a new one. Not so for this chair: The bottom piece which bolts onto the bottom of the seat cushion, and into which the cylinder fits, is a CLOSED assembly. You can remove it from the chair, but you cannot disassemble it further in order to bang the cylinder out. So don’t even try. If you have a cylinder problem within the warranty period (a year), just let Amazon handle it for you. If it’s post-warranty, you’ll either need some kind of special clamp-on tool (Amazon has these – some of the cylinders come with them) to force the cylinder out from the outside (too much for me, I didn’t try that), or you’ll just need to buy a new chair. Which, knowing how great this chair is, I’d do in a heartbeat.So, again, a really great product from AmazonBasics, with the absolute top-tier support that you’d come to expect from Amazon. Buy this chair with confidence, it will serve you well!

Good deal for your money. I don’t think you can go too far wrong.
I really kind of like this chair. The last time I bought an office chair was around 15 years or so ago for $150. Real nice – leather seat and back – chrome leather-covered arms. Kind of modern style. Quite comfortable and very stylish. Where I bought it is out of business. I’ve seen what I think is the same chair at a local store for around $400. I asked them if they would tell me the manufacturer so I could order a new leather seat as the current one ripped at the stitching so now I’m sitting on the frame. They wouldn’t. So basically for lack of a seat the chair is ruined. Actually, I have two of them in the same condition. So I needed a new chair. I went to the local big box stores but wasn’t really thrilled with what they had. So I went on line and found this chair. Good reviews. Very inexpensive. So I bought it. How bad could it be? I was expecting something pretty bad to be honest. But it isn’t. Very quick to assemble (very positive in my book – all parts are well labeled and even someone who can get lost in a paper bag will be able to follow the directions) and quite comfortable. I’m not thrilled with the mesh back. To me it doesn’t look particularly durable but who knows? Hopefully it will surprise me. For the money, if it lasts a couple of years I won’t feel bad. If it goes longer than that I think I will be ahead of the game. Still much better than what the big box stores are offering for twice the price.UPDATE – Three years and a few months have gone by and my fears about the mesh back were totally unfounded. Chair is still like new and has proven to be an excellent purchase. I would buy again with no hesitation.UPDATE 2 – Four years and nine months later and the chair still looks like new. This has turned out to be a really excellent purchase!UPDATE 3 – November 2023 now. I bought this chair in January 2016. In two months it will be eight years. My fears about the mesh back were unfounded. The chair still looks like new. It is still comfortable. Everything works as expected. Frankly, I’m really surprised. And really happy. Buy this chair if you need a chair. You won’t regret it.UPDATE 4 – September 2025 now. Chair is finally starting to show some wear. For the past year I’ve been working from home. Which means the chair has been getting a lot more seat time. The seat is showing some wear on the edge. And the mesh back is finally starting to fail – about 6″ of the right side is no longer attached. That said, it still sits fine and after nearly 10 years I have no complaints whatsoever. I think another year or two and it will likely be time to start thinking about a replacement. And when that time comes I will have absolutely no qualms about ordering another one of the exact same chair.

非常に満足度の高い商品です。まず、説明書がわかりやすい。もちろん日本語でも書かれています。私はそのページに気づかず、英語の説明書を見ながら組み立てましたが、簡単に仕上がりました。また、ボルトやワッシャーといった部品が個包装されているので迷うことがありませんでした。一番満足している点は、丈夫なこと。これまでで「お値段以上」を売り物にする椅子を使っていましたが、すぐに壊れ、座り心地も悪かったのですが、本商品は快適に座れ、デスクワークが捗ります。10%引きで購入できたのもラッキーでした。

Chair is very well designed and of good Quality for the price. Height adjustment works properly and smoothly. Reclining can be enabled or disabled , reclining lock is not there which is justifiable for the price. Reclining can be loosened via a knob also. Chair was very easy to assemble , amazon does provide furniture assembler but i think won’t be required for most of you. I did reserch a lot with likes of nilkamal , ikea , Flipkart , godrej interior..but for under 5000 , this amazon basic chair is a great buy. Overall highly recommend and its a need of hour as many of us are working from home during pandamic. Talking of ergonomics , base is cushiny, lumbar support is good and though hand rest are not adjustable but are perfectly placed on default setting.
