Excellent chair.

This is a very nice chair for the price. I especially love the way they packaged the screws, etc. Very clearly labeled and a big improvement, in my opinion, over the usual blister packs. It's quite comfortable for a 6' tall 175lb guy. Adjustment is easy, rolls nicely, all the stuff you want in a chair. I saw some complaints on here about overlap of the metal plates between the chair back and main support plate. This was addressed in the instructions in my case. Not a problem. I design machines for a living and I don't think this is a major issue, didn't impede assembly and helps relieve stress on the bottom of the chair if anything, I saw some pictures of the o-ring around the mesh coming loose. Mine did too. A couple of drops of super glue cured that, the rubber ring is strictly decorative in my opinion anyway. Glue it in, you'll be fine. Great bang for the buck! Would buy again and recommend highly. Didn't take anything off my 5 star rating because any objections I may have had weren't worth making a very nice, cost effective product look even slightly bad over trivial BS.

You have got to read this review!!!!

I have never been so excited about writing a review. I put this chair together and walked in here, sat in the chair and started typing. Everything is labeled so everyone who said that was correct. All the parts are marked. It takes about an hour for one person to do it. That includes stopping to eat supper! The screws and washers are in individual bags and marked A-G and that includes the hex bolt. I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE putting things together. I am the girl who buys things and once I realize that they have a lot of parts, I look at it for about ten minutes and then give it away or burn it. Not even kidding. This was super easy. It's comfortable and it's made very well. The back is very comfortable. The height adjustment is simple. I have to be honest - The only "bad" thing is the fact that I am 5'3 and my elbows don't reach the arms....not kidding - HA!!! My son just walked in and he sat down, he's 5'5 and he's fine. He actually laughed that I was adding this to the review but I am just being honest. You won't regret buying this chair.

Amazon Basics Gets This Right

Really pleased with the value that this Basics chair has. Considering others for hundreds of dollars, this one was a cautious purchase as assembling a chair, finding out that it was awful and having to return it was not something that I was looking forward to. The product arrived in it's Prime 2 day goodness, and I am really happy with this so far. Pros: Easy Assembly, took about 20 minutes Fast Shipping Quality cushion, what you would expect for an office all day use sort of firm seat Great materials, seems sturdy and will last Cool mesh back for those hot days Black. Will hide years of wear and tear and cookies and coffee ;) Cons: Not much in the way of adjustments, height and tilt lock/unlock only Arms are fixed too, you get what you get for height for arms with the height of the seat (you can move the arms in/out a few millimeters when building though, not much obviously) Black. Perfect, like a model T, unless you don't like black model T's ;)

I wanted something that would help me have better sitting posture and this chair is doing exactly that ...

Just wanted to post a positive review after one month of daily use. Replaced a larger more expensive chair, and this one is proving to be a positive experience. I wanted something that would help me have better sitting posture and this chair is doing exactly that for me. I am 6ft - 200 pound male and it works perfectly for someone my size if that is a question anyone is looking to answer, glad I purchased it.

Great chair!

Very comfortable and attractive. I bought six of these for my game table. I like them better than my Herman Miller chair in the office. The seat bottom is covered with thick fabric and is comfortable for hours. The back of the seat is very comfortable and supportive. The mechanics underneath the seat work great and have easy-to-use logical controls. The casters work great on hard floors. The only bummer is the fixed arms. They didn't fit under the table without dramatically lowering the seats, which I knew wouldn't happen, so I only installed arms on the chairs that occupy the ends of the table. Having sat in both for hours, the loss of the arms does not noticeably diminish the enjoyment of the chair when at the table. A larger-framed friend of mine told me the armless option was appreciated.

Excellent design and quality. I love this chair!

I tried these for both a home office, and home school class room for our four kids. The chairs fit comfortably for all six members of the family. I was nervous about the back of the chair not being adjustable, as we have a lot of different body frames in our household. The contour of the chair made it comfortable for all of us, from a 4' 10" very thin frame, to a 6'1" intimidatingly large frame. I have chronic back pain from degeneration and herniations in my lower lumbar. I am able to comfortably work all day in this chair. The arms are easily adjustable inward by two inches, which is more comfortable for our younger kids. The chair quality is superb. The pistons are very strong, and the height adjustment makes this chair comfortable for both tall and short members of my family. I can't find anything bad to say about this chair!

Perfect Small chair for small people

I read the reviews before buying and these people were right. The arms are weird and too short to be useful. They do not adjust. And I am a short and small person (5') so this chair is great for me but my 6'3 husband not so much, which is fine because I got it for me, it's MY chair, so he shouldn't be sitting in it anyway. I call that a win. I happen to think it's actually really comfortable especially considering how cheap it was. Looks nice enough and It was super easy to assemble. Seems pretty durable. I've spent entire days in this chair working and so far not one backache.

A Much-Longer-Than-Needed Review for a Chair

I'm a big fan of amazon. I needed a chair. AmazonBasics had a chair. So I bought it. The thought of an Amazon brand chair was exciting to me. I needed an office chair and I wasn't willing nor was I capable of affording a Herman Miller, or a Steelcase, and so on. I've had $200 Staples/Costco chairs and they're okay, but typically not that much better than a chair such as this one. Rather than buying the cheapest generic chair from some generic Chinese company, it was appealing that a company that I have found to be reliable had their own to offer. Assembly: Out of the box, nothing was missing or broken. A booklet is included with very clear instructions and the hardware is separated and labeled in plastic bags; very well executed. One thing that bothered me is when you attach the back cushion under the seat it overlaps with the seat plate. I thought I did something wrong so I took it apart and put it back together for no reason, delaying the assembly process (I might have OCD). In the end, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Comfort/Functionality: The seat cushion is very thick and firm, it's probably my favorite thing about this chair. I LOVE THE SEAT CUSHION. Same goes for the back mesh, comfortable with good support. The pneumatic lift works well. The chair comes with a tilt lock and tilt tension adjusting knob, very basic. The caster wheels are very smooth. I don't really care for the arm rests, but there's nothing wrong with them I suppose. They are placed relatively low, my elbow does not even reach them so I don't use them (I'm 5'8" btw). I'm guessing they did this so that the chair could easily be pushed into the desk without clearance issue. Again, this is not important to me but take it into consideration when buying. No complaints at all. The chair feels very sturdy, nothing creaks or rattles or anything. It's a solid chair. Summary: I'm pleasantly surprised by this chair. It definitely exceeded my expectations and I can see myself using it for a long time to come. It's a comfortable and sturdy, no-frills, no-nonsense office chair. Well worth the money. I really like the seat cushion... I highly recommend it.

Very impressive, and I'm not easily impressed.

Having ordered hundreds of items from Amazon over the years, many of them produced in China I was surprised at the level of craftsmanship, packaging and finish. The hardware was of very high quality and packaged in individual plastic bags and even included a bag of spare pieces just in case. Each bolt had an anti-seize/lock-tite substance applied to the threads prior to packaging. Included was the wrench needed to assemble the chair. The pieces were extremely sturdy and of an exceptional quality. Best of all were the assembly instructions. They were well thought out and written by a native English speaker. It took about 15 minutes from the time I opened the box to the time I was sitting at my desk.

Wonderful office chair for those on a budget!

Just got this chair today and put it together in about 20 minutes. I truly appreciate the idiot-proof instructions! I'm no stranger to having to assemble furniture, but I think these instructions and the way everything was packed (all nuts, bolts, etc were in their own labeled ziplock) definitely wins in the ease of use department! I've been using it for about an hour now and it's everything I wanted in an inexpensive chair. It's comfy, roomy, and rolls really nicely. The only negative about it is that the arms aren't adjustable, but I don't find myself needing them anyway. But if that's something important to you, keep in mind they are quite low. I'm 5'7" and there's about an inch of space between my elbow and the arm rest. If anything happens in the coming days/weeks/months, I'll come back and update this review, but for now, I'm super happy!
