This product is imported and not made in-house. However, we do craft USA made-to-order furniture here.

Built for long stretches at a desk, this ergonomic mesh chair is designed to stay comfortable through 8 plus hour work sessions and fits users from about 5 foot 5 to 6 foot 2. The structure meets BIFMA X5.1 standards for durability. Lumbar support micro-adjusts across 2 inches over 8 levels, lining up with the L1 through L5 vertebrae to cut lower back pressure by about 50 percent and spread weight more evenly to reduce fatigue.

The seat measures 19.3 inches deep by 20 inches wide, with height adjustable from 18.5 to 22.05 inches, and its mesh material boosts support by 30 percent while cutting pelvic pressure by 20 percent. A leak-proof SGS-tested gas lift keeps the height stable, and the stainless steel base supports up to 400 pounds. The armrests are wide, soft, and non-peeling, and flip up 90 degrees, while quiet PU wheels roll smoothly under a desk without marking floors. The headrest adjusts in both height and depth, and the backrest locks at 90, 110, or 125 degrees. Assembly typically takes about 30 minutes, and the chair is backed by a 5-year warranty with 60 months of free replacement parts.

Great chair for the price

This chair is a solid choice for the price, packed with useful features. My husband had it put together in about half an hour without any trouble, and the instructions were clear. It even came with all the necessary tools. The way it was packaged was impressive. My husband, who is 6'3" and weighs 320lbs, finds it super comfortable, especially with the adjustable headrest. He likes that it's cool to sit in and the armrests are versatile, as they can slide forward and back or flip up out of the way. The lumbar support works great too. Overall, the fit and finish are top-notch.

Great chair for the price!

I've been really happy with this chair so far. It was simple to put together, took me around 30 minutes. It's comfortable and has a nice amount of space. I also like that the arms can be lifted out of the way when I need more room. A solid purchase!

Comfy Upgrade

Putting this chair together was a breeze, and it’s a big step up from my old one. The headrest, back support, and tilt features are fantastic. After assembling it, I just want to sit back and relax—thinking about getting a footrest next! The wheel base feels solid, so I’m not worried about toppling over when I lean back. No issues with stability in the arms or back support either. I do agree with others that the seat feels a bit snug. I’m 5'11" and 250 lbs, and I have a 38" to 40" waist, so if my hips were any wider, it might not work for me. The armrests could be higher, which might be a concern for taller folks. The mesh is comfortable enough—no scratchiness like I’ve experienced before. Just a heads up for pet owners, it tends to catch fur. Overall, the chair does what I need it to do, and I’m pleased with my purchase.

Great chair for the price

We got this chair for our mom for Mother's Day. It’s sturdy and comfortable, perfect for their wood floors. It took a bit to assemble, but it wasn't too hard. There are lots of adjustments to make it comfy, and it's breathable too. My brother liked it so much he wants one for himself!

Great Chair with a Small Assembly Challenge

Overall, I’m really happy with this chair. Putting it together wasn’t too hard, but I did have a bit of difficulty attaching the headrest. Maybe it’s just me, but that part felt a bit tricky. I think it could be designed a little better for easier assembly there. Other than that, the rest of it came together quickly and smoothly. In terms of comfort, this chair hits the mark. The seat is nice and comfy, and it gives solid support for long hours at my desk. This is my first mesh chair, and I’m impressed by how breathable it is. The mesh keeps me cool and comfy, even during long use. It’s a big step up from the padded chairs I've had before. The lumbar support is a nice bonus too, helping me keep good posture while I work. Plus, it looks! The sleek design fits perfectly in my home office, adding a touch of style. It's functional and stylish, which is great. The neutral color and clean lines make it versatile enough for any space, whether at home or in a professional office. I’m hopeful about its durability, especially with the mesh. Only time will tell how it holds up, but everything feels solid so far, and I don’t anticipate any issues. Overall, I’m quite pleased with this chair. It’s comfy, stylish, and pretty easy to put together, apart from that small hiccup with the headrest. If you're looking for a stylish mesh office chair that’s comfortable, I’d recommend this one. It’s a great addition to my workspace!

It feels cool and comfy to sit in. The armrests move forward, back, side to side, and can even flip up out of the way. No issues with the lumbar support, and the fit and finish are nice.

This chair was easy to put together, thanks to the clear instructions included. I've struggled with back issues for a long time, especially from my time as an instructor in Pensacola. After just a few days of using this chair, I've noticed a big improvement in my back. The lumbar support took a bit to get used to, but once I adjusted it, it’s so comfortable and really encourages better posture. Would I pick this up again?. Would I suggest it to friends? Yes, for sure. I feel lucky to have snagged this on sale—highly recommend!

Good chair overall with some improvements

Overall the product is good! The seat is very comfortable, the neck support is excellent and the arms are great. My only complaint is the lumbar support. It doesnt stay in place so I have to keep rising it every 2 seconds and its quite annoying and its also intense and feels a little uncomfortable even at the correct position. So the overall chair Id rate it a 4/5, the lumbar 2/5.

Do you like living on the edge? Buying a chair online is risky!

Paid ~$200. Price is rising. Knowing what I know now I would buy another at ~$250. There's only so much can be said for a seat you can not test for literally hours at a time. I grabbed this on a gamble. It has mostly paid off. It is not the most comfortable chair I've used. It does vaguely pinch on the sides of my thighs - but it is comfortable enough _FOR ME_ to sit in for hours at at a time. At 5'11", 220lbs I would not recommend this for anyone heavier. And likely not for anyone taller. For me? It has been ok. If you're smaller, and lighter, but sport a waist line wider than ~38" I would not recommend this chair. Hard to gauge any individual's proportions, but suffice to say, I am at the comfortable width, weight, and perhaps height capacity for this chair. South of my measurements? It's probably 'ok'. Be honest with yourself. Be really honest with your measurements. I'm laying it all out here on account of how risky it can be to buy a chair you never sat upon. Women especially gonna be a bit wider set in the hips than me. So don't be surprised if the 5 foot waif weighing less than half of me finds more than a mere slight pinch on her beautiful saddle bags. See: there is pressure at the sides of my hips, but it has genuinely been fine. My immediate impression after first sitting on this thing was "oh no"But after hours of work in front of the computer I am still pleased enough to continue sitting. I figure you could do better, but these mesh chairs are always kinda lame, even the top end Herman Millers are notorious for odd ribs or struts pinching people the wrong way, and the mesh itself has a tendency to roll hip joint in themselves in an unnatural way that foam or even hard wood seats will not. The only thing these mesh chairs have going for them is a breathable butt, and even that is somewhat dubious. But I'm a male, and we run hot, so the luxury of a box fan directed beneath the family jewels commands something of a premium. Against my better judgement I rolled the die on this one and came out on top. Points of noteReclineIt's fine - has three stages to the tilt on a ratchet, so whereever you posture it remains at that incline until hitting those paddle things again. Pretty great, actually. First - neutral stage - it's comfortable enough. I don't like it, but have sat on it for hours with that posture. Second stage - slightly reclined - is where I usually adjust. Bad posture. I slouch and lounge. It worked perfect for me. If you're prim or proper posture type you may have a better/worse experience. Third stage is near full recline. I love it. I don't get any work done that way, but get yourself a monitor arm and direct a display at a high angle and it's a nice alternative for watching media or even reading. Peak degenerate incline. Use with caution. But bring your own foot rest. I put my feet on the desk! Full chair relines. This is not one of those arrangements where the back rest leans, causing occupants to slowly melt out. No, the seat tilts accordingly also, securing our lazy butts in a bucket of sorts, guaranteeing you will remain in your seat no matter how long you fall asleep while on the clock. Head restIt mostly works. One requirement I had was a head rest. Last thing I want to do when reclining is have to support my head. Madness. It's not bad. Again, I can reline like that for hours. Arm rests are something of a mixed bag. On the one hand, they fold away completely, a feature absent from dozens of competing products - including numerous premiums brands - that immediately ruled them out from my consideration. On the other hand they're somewhat dubious, having three axis for adjustment. You can rotate the pads. Extend the arms... And extend the arms further. Three axis! I don't really have any complaints. I just don't get any use out of the adjustments. Better they're there than not. But I'm not sure anyone shorter would benefit given the options, and I wouldn't recommend anyone taller, so.... Take this whole rating and review with a grain of salt. For what it is worth, I spent days scouring reviews for every mesh chair I could find. This one seemed to have fewer complaints of odd geometry that poked or jabbed people in sensitive areas, or and nothing consistent. So I felt confident that if anything did arise as uncomfortable, it was unique to me, much as the few complaints I did find here. I absolutely can't speak for any of you personally but as of now with a few hundreds hours on this contraption, I can affirm my prediction that there is nothing objectively wrong about this chair's design. Nothing is uncomfortable making me want to get up after 15 minutes... Or 5 hours. Boredom will probably get to you before the deep vein thrombosis. That's pretty much the most I can ask for out of an office chair. Will it work for you? How much do you like gambling? Between price, comfort, and integrity, this one has all around been a winner for me. One star nicked for qa. You're gonna note all sorts of little burrs or rough edges, hinges left and right that behave different. Keep those provided Allen wrenches handy. It is likely something will need tightening. In my case, the left arm wrest hinge unwinds itself. For all that could go wrong, and what we would expect out of customer support, I consider myself extremely fortunate and above all, blessed. For anyone else that won't be so fortunate: You are seen. Probably not seen by capot. But I see you. I see you, and thank God I am not you. You have my prayers. In all seriousness, I hope capot support is great and they succeed. This chair is really as much as I could ask for. I would buy another if I had another office space, even granting the inflating price for all the reasons everyone would expect from early 2025. Paid ~$200. Looking at $230 at time of this review. I would still buy at that price.

Comfortable and Stylish Chair with Just a Minor Assembly Issue

Overall, this is a great chair, and I’m really happy with my purchase. The assembly process wasn’t too difficult, though I did encounter a bit of trouble when it came to attaching the headrest. It may have been something I was doing wrong, but that part of the assembly felt trickier than it needed to be. I think it could be designed in a way that makes attaching the headrest a bit easier. Aside from that, the rest of the assembly went smoothly and didn’t take too much time. In terms of comfort, the chair definitely meets my expectations. The seat is comfortable, and the support it provides is just right for long hours at the desk. This is my first time using a mesh chair, and I have to say, I’m impressed with how well it breathes. The mesh design keeps me cool and comfortable throughout the day, even during extended use. It’s a significant upgrade from the traditional padded chairs I’ve used in the past. The lumbar support is also a nice touch, and it helps me maintain good posture, which is important for me since I spend a lot of time working at my desk. The chair also looks great! The modern, sleek design fits well with my home office setup, and I love how it adds a touch of sophistication to the space. It’s not just functional but also stylish, which is a bonus. The neutral color and clean lines make it versatile, so it can fit into a variety of different spaces, whether at home or in a professional office setting. While I’m optimistic about the durability of the chair, especially with the mesh construction, only time will tell how long it lasts. I’m hopeful that it will hold up well over time, but as this is my first mesh chair, I’ll be keeping an eye on how it performs with daily use. So far, everything feels sturdy and well-built, and I don’t foresee any issues, but it’s always something to consider with a new type of chair. All in all, I’m really pleased with this chair. It’s comfortable, stylish, and relatively easy to put together, with just a minor hiccup when it came to the headrest. If you’re in the market for a mesh office chair that offers good comfort and looks sharp, I would definitely recommend this one. It’s been a great addition to my workspace, and I’m looking forward to using it for years to come.

Extremely satisfied, especially. For the price...

I have severe neck, upper and lower back issues yet am working to rebuild a business which is requiring a lengthy amount of time at the computer. Standard chairs (even with high backs and neck support) just don't help and I didn't have $800. For a higher-end model, but I also know that you often get what you pay for if you go too cheap (and I can't afford that either.)This chair is the perfect middle ground. Paid less than $200. But it has all the features I was looking for loke low-pressure mesh design, adjustable height (not just up/down) arm rests. Independent neck and lumbar supports that aren't just some pads at the back of a chair but at a non-adjustable seat depth. These 2 supports adjustment and move forward and backward enough to satisfy my severe back and neck curvature as well as up + down to position for correct head height and height of lumbar support (sometimes I need the contact point at nearer to my lower thoracic than my lower lumbar.)Even more pleasant was that it is very easy to put together with good clear diagram instructions (screws and small parts are itemized and separated by step # and the diagrams are so clear that you don't need to worry about language.)And it is sturdy, which is another which is another area of concern for me, being "heavier" and with a knee replacement. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this chair and I highly clrecommemd it, especially for it's quality, features and price range.
