COLAMY Office Chair High Back Leather Desk Chair, Flip-up Arms Adjustable Swivel Executive Chair Thick Padding for Comfort and Ergonomic Design for Home Office, Black

I was a bit skeptical ordering this chair. I just threw out my last bonded leather desk chair. It lasted 5 years then started to peel. It took about 1/2 an hour to put this together & it was very easy. This chair seems better constructed than my last one, so I hope it lasts longer. When I sat in it, it was very comfortable. The back support was super supportive & hit just the right spot on my spine. My last chair was comfortable to a point, but I could only sit in it for about an hour before I started to get back pain. I sat in this chair for several hours without any back pain. That's very important to me. I have a very severe back injury, & I work from home, so I need a chair that works hard for me. I think this one will do the job. If I could afford a genuine leather chair, I would buy one. I know it would last a lot longer. I had one many years ago that lasted over 20 years. This chair is super comfortable, & it's a great price. I'm sure I'll get my money's worth. Bonded leather is real leather, but it's leftover pieces pieced together. Because the price is so affordable, it's worth a try. I give it a thumbs up!!!

The best office chair I've ever owned and I've owned MANY in my business career! I am now retired but needed one for my "home office" out of where I now sell jewelry on Etsy. This chair is everything I wanted, gorgeous, comfortable and well-padded (back, seat and arms), adjustable up/down arms, lumbar support and a stable 5-arm base featuring easy/smooth rolling casters, very nice, quiet, smooth up down height adjustment. This chair came very well and very safely packaged for shipping! Everything was so well protected and then put into a heavy/thick/quality cardboard box! The directions were perfect...I scanned the code on the directions was taken to a video that was very well done and had everything figured out. I am a 65 year old woman with some health issues, including muscle weakness, so if I can put this thing together I'm sure you can do it too! The only thing I had a problem with (hence 4 stars for "easy to assemble") is because the very last screw holding the back to the arm needed to be pushed and held into place while placing the screw in and screwing it in, that's where my husband came in to help me...along with pushing the casters into the base. However, if I would have "wiggled" the casters they would have went right in, I was trying to push them straight down and that is not how they are meant to be put in, so my fault there. Pieces are well drilled and alignment of holes for screws was precision and perfect, very impressed with that workmanship and much appreciated!

I think too many people have too high expectations when purchasing an office chair for less than $500. This is a $200 chair, made in China - as are 95% of all office chairs these days, the difference in prices reflects quality control and materials used. A $200 or less chair is going to be pleather, how thick? Varies. Will it last? Probably not... so some things to consider - get a chair cover, makes it last longer, if you are heavy, get a $10 dollar gas lift clamp to fix the height in place - simple (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PN25FDW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).Is the chair comfortable? I'm 6'0" 260lbs - and it is comfy for now, but the cushion will likely flatten over time. No worries, I have a Purple cushion handy for when that happens - those last forever.Setting expectations correctly MUST be part of the process! You sort of get what you pay for... people expecting an office chair that is perfect for their body and lasts forever while paying on the cheap are simply not being realistic.I'm a big man, this chair took me 30 minutes to assemble - tip: don't tighten anything until ALL the bolts are started. Absolutely love the arm rests, for a guy my size, they are a perfect height, perhaps a 1/2" high. The fact that they a) are short for desk work and b) flip up is just stellar - main reason I bought this chair!The contour of the seat back is also perfect, pretty close to 90º and the lumbar support is just right for me. I broke my back 30 years ago and have a difficult time with chairs that come with a seat back angled backward. This seat back has you sitting 100% upright. The seat width is ample for my lard butt and the front edge of the seat rolls off gently for less circulation strain behind the knees. For $200, and someone 5'9" to 6'0" and likes to sit up straight, this chair should be a perfect fit.The legs/base are a resin material and the casters are cheap nylon, they roll fine on a vinyl plank floor or that industrial hotel room low pile carpet. Might want to replace with softer/rubber universal aftermarket type if using a chair mat, especially one that sits on thicker carpet or a hardwood floor.Note on gas lift cylinders; they all leak down over time no matter the 'class' rating. Most have the bottom of the cylinder 'crimped', these wear out faster than the ones that have a welded bottom. This particular gas cylinder, while only rated as a Class III (250lbs), does in fact have a welded bottom, so for lighter folks, this will last a bit longer than most - see above for a "gas cylinder holder" if you are a heavier person.Good value, good buy.
