SONGMICS Office Swivel Chair with 76 cm High Back Large Seat and Flip-Up Armrest Computer Desk Executive Chair PU OBG51BUKThe Forest Stewardship Council

Have been reluctant to buy a chair online without trying it out first but on a friend's recommendation decided to get this.Easy to put together, everything fits beautifully and amazingly comfortable and great quality. Just wished I'd have bought it 5 years ago!Have two now as my wife loves the chair too.

Bought this chair a replacement for my office chair which had become unstable. It was delivered promptly and was relatively easy to assemble. I do recommend 2 people for this however.The chair is firmer than my previous one but relatively comfortable. The big difference for me was that this chair sits you very upright which is great for working at a desk but less comfortable to sit back when watching Netflix or TV online.

Had this chair for a few weeks now. Really easy to set up. Very comfortable and the arms being able to pull up is a plus as play guitar. Great value for money and feels well built.

I bought this chair to replace an expensive, albeit worn-out, office chair. Having sat for a while in great discomfort on this old chair, I became slightly paranoid about finding the 'perfect' chair. Unfortunately I was unable to find a local outlet to test chairs (Amazon cause/effect!) so was finally forced to bite the bullet and buy online. I was guided by previous reviews, where this chair comes consistently top of the rankings. And with good cause.Admittedly I have used this chair for less than a week, but it is one of the most comfortable office chairs I have ever used, and I have high hopes that it will be durable. Construction seems solid, and it was easy to put together on my own. The key is to leave all the screws loose, and only tighten once all is in place - holes lined up perfectly. Even the heavy back was easy to put on, once I read the instructions properly, and laid it flat, starting with the upper of the two screws. It took me less than half an hour to assemble, even allowing for my cursory reading of the instructions and reversing a couple of errors / arms on backwards etc.As previous reviewers have said, it is a large chair. I chose it specifically because I am long in the upper leg, so wanted a deep seat, which it has. It has a large/wide seat and consequently the arms are fairly widely spaced. This is fine for me, but I imagine a more petite person might find it too wide - check your needs and measurements. In my usual upright working position, my back does not rest against the chair back, although sitting back the chair supports my back nicely. I have added a lumbar support cushion which makes it damn near perfect fit when sitting forward at the desk. I guess you could argue that the 'perfect' chair wouldn't need any additional cushions - I think this is simply tailoring it to my particular preferred posture.The arms rotate upwards, so they are either in the 'in use' position, or tucked up alongside the seat back, enabling the chair to be tucked under the desk. In the 'down' position there is no problem getting close to the desk - you'd have to be pretty tiny and sitting right back on the seat for there to be any conflict there. In which case your legs would probably be sticking straight out anyway! I had thought the arms were 'adjustable' into various positions - this is not the case.The tilt mechanism is just that - the whole seat + back tilt backwards, with a knob to control the resistance. It is not possible to alter the angle of the back independently, nor to lock in the tilted position. There is a control to prevent the tilt, or to release it - two options.The only downside i've found so far is that the wheels are fairly free, meaning I'm slightly fearful it will wheel away from me whilst I'm in the process of sitting down. Hanging onto the arms solves that. On the plus side, it's going to be a winner in office chair races!Delivery was prompt and problem free.I debated between 4 and 5 stars, but really the price swung it. Whilst there might be more perfect chairs out there, I doubt any of them come in for under £90. Would I have paid £160 (listed) price for it? I would probably still be out there reading reviews!

It has taken me a bit of time to get used to the chair, mainly because my last few chairs were cheap and second hand. I found it too high for me, even on its lowest setting. I was aware it was made for the slightly taller human but I specifically went for it as I have short legs and a long back. So a higher back works for me. I solved the problem by removing the wheels. Simple and effective. I don't need to scoot around and since it's on carpet it saves some wear. The padding is generous, firm and supportive. The matt black is very smart. The wider seating is fantastic, because I am not exactly svelte. I prefer the arms can be raised because I have a habit of leaning to one side on arms which puts a strain on my back. I can have them down if I feel like it dependent on what I am doing. Putting it together was very simple. I was good and followed the instructions! I did find it easier to do the assembly on my bed, much easier than crouching on floor. Great chair, really glad I purchased over all the others I trawled through. I was a bit disappointed with delivery time, I don't have prime which would have meant next day, so waited over a week for it to arrive with a 'next day delivery' label on it. Seems a bit pointless to make a customer wait when it was a next day delivery anyway.

The chair arrived very quickly, the box was suffering slightly from transport, but the parts were all well protected inside the box.Assembly was easy, just remember to follow the instructions, the fitting of the back is simplicity if you keep the screws loose and lay the back on the seat, as per the diagrams.As this is only the first week, the durability is unknown, but the comfort is very good for my 5'9" frame, the lower lumbar support is good without being obtrusive, my neck is able to relax back on the head support, so rocking staring in to space for inspiration is comfortable. The seat height is is better than I expected, although I am only about 1cm off the minimum of its range, is a good height for me and while expansive, does not feel overlarge when your sat in it.If I were to pick fault, it would be the arms, I love that they are retractable, but I do wish they had been supplied with an adjustable option, at the height i have the chair the arms slip exactly under the desk, while this means they are not in the way as such, they do rub the underside of the desk and so will not last very long if allowed to do that constantly, so i have to have them upright out of the way much of the timeOverall, I feel very good value for the price point
