Amazon Basics Classic Puresoft PU Padded Mid-Back Height Adjustable Office Computer Desk Chair with Armrest, 25.75"D x 24.25"W x 42.25"H, Brown

Easy to assemble, comfortable, sturdy. Back support is decent but you may want to add a lumbar cushion for longer periods of use. Looks exactly as pictured. Rolls smoothly and doesn't make a ton of noise. I am 5'6" and at the shortest setting my feet just barely hit the floor, so shorter folks may want to have a footrest available. Overall, recommend as a good budget desk chair

Great chair for the price! It was easy to assemble, feels sturdy, and the cushion is supportive enough for long days working from home. The armrests and back height are comfortable and the wheels glide smoothly. Perfect budget-friendly option if you need a reliable office chair.

This chair would have been a lot lighter if they'd used aluminum instead of rolled steel, but still quite comfortable! The Allen Wrench that is included is NOT very sturdy, so it rounded off about halfway through the assembly. The base seems to be pretty solid. adjusting the height is easy, the tilt tension adjustment is NOT as good as it could be, but it works! all in all I am happy with this purchase! As for durability? Only time will tell.

Best desk chair ever the price was amazing delivered very fast easy to put together very sturdy and well-made very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time it contour to your body perfectly. This is definitely the best desk chair I’ve ever owned and when it wears out, I’ll be buying another one.

This chair was easy to put together, especially for an older woman. It looks very nice looking and is super comfortable with lumbar support for my bad back. The padding is thick on seat and back. Quality of materials is excellent and the price is very reasonable.

Let me save you the time, money, and lower-back regret: do not buy this chair. At first glance, like a gas station breakfast sandwich, the Amazon Basics "Classic Puresoft PU" office chair looks harmless enough. A decent price, clean lines, and a name long enough to sound like someone tried really hard. But don’t be fooled. After living with this chair for 18 months, I can confidently say that calling it “basic” is generous. This thing is a slow-motion ergonomic tragedy. I'm not even a heavy user...this chair sits at a home desk, not a call center and yet it’s falling apart like a toddler’s Lego tower. Comfort: For the first week or two, the chair is passably comfortable. Then the padding compresses, the seat flattens like a pancake at a truck stop diner, and every hour feels like you're being punished for a crime you didn’t commit. The back support? Non-existent. I’d get more lumbar support leaning against a wall. Sitting in this chair for more than an hour at a time feels like penance and no amount of adjusting will save you. Adjustability: Sure, it adjusts up and down. That’s about where the good news ends. The tilt mechanism is laughable — either it’s locked upright like a church pew, or it reclines with all the grace and stability of a shopping cart with a broken wheel. The tension knob? Pure decoration. Turning it does about as much as yelling at a thunderstorm. Durability: After only 18 months, mine is literally falling apart. The seat cushion is collapsing. One of the casters feels like it’s about to snap off. The armrests creak under minimal pressure. It feels wobbly, unstable, and generally unfit for long-term use. This chair was designed to die young. Style: Deceptively Bland It tries to look sleek and minimal, but really it just screams “budget bulk order.” There’s nothing classic about this thing, and the Puresoft name is a masterclass in ironic branding — it’s about as “pure” and “soft” as a gravel driveway. Are there any Pros? I Guess It Technically Exists * It was easy to assemble. * It did, technically, hold my body off the floor for over a year. * That’s it. That’s the list. Final Verdict: If you're looking for a short-term chair for a rental office you never plan to return to, or maybe need to furnish the background of a Zoom call, maybe this will do. But if you actually plan to sit in it regularly? Don’t do it. You’re better off buying a decent secondhand chair on Craigslist. Or honestly, sitting on a milk crate. This chair is a monument to the bare minimum. It’s uncomfortable, poorly built, aging faster than unrefrigerated mayonnaise and destined for the landfill before its second birthday. 1/5 stars. Would give zero if I could.

This chair is to replace an older chair that had simply worn out over a span of about 15 years of use. I was looking for a quick, budget minded replacement and then will spend probably weeks looking at a higher quality chair, with full high back. At this price, I was not expecting a high quality chair, and that is what I got. It is more or less easy to assemble. It can be a bit tricky when assembling the arm rest. I loosely attached the back two bolts, then the seat. I did the same on the other side, and then tightened them in sequence : Outer back and outer seat bolts, then inner back and inner seat screws. The threads on the back and seat frame are pre-machined but with very little tolerance so you need to be careful not strip them out if you start them at even just a slightly off-angle. Assembling the base and height adjustment assembly went much easier. The chair has a metal inner frame, and base is also metal (there is some wood on the inside sides of the back and perhaps inside the seat). There is some plastic in the base assembly, but that is only cosmetic. Armrest frames are plastic as well. I also replaced the wheels with higher grade wheels I already had on hand (these have a slightly wider tread as well as slightly larger diameter). Finally I went back through and retightened all the screws, taking care not to overtighten. Assembly completion from opening the box to final check was about 30 minutes. The faux leather covering is what you would expect in a chair at this price range. The seat padding is very firm (too firm?) but not uncomfortable for me, but will have to see how it feels after a long session at my computer. The biggest disappointment is the nearly hollow back with NO filling or padding (this is where the parts are stored when shipped). Very little to no support! I had a large bag of batting I was going to use for another project in the near future but decided to stuff it into the back (the bottom has a zipper ... remember, this is where the parts were stored). I took care to install the batting evenly, taking care not to overstuff. It made a big difference. The other disappointment was that, although listed as a mid-back chair, it is just barely that. Many other chairs (higher price) typically have at least a 24" inside back length for a mid-size chair back, as measured from the top of the seat ... this one is 22" The seat depth could have been maybe and inch deeper, as many chairs at this price have (this chair at 17.75" is barely enough). I am 5'11" and wight about 190 lbs. If you are taller or heavier, this chair might not work well for you. (My daughter, who is medium build at 5' 7" thought it was comfortable for her). So here is my summary: PRO: Good price. Seems to be sturdy enough with full metal frame and base. Assembly a bit tricky but just need to be patient and have good lighting. CONS: Seat depth a bit too short. Back offers little to no support without some fill (DIY). So overall, this will do until I can spend some time to look at chairs in person, with better overall quality.

I got this for my dad and it was everything that we were looking for. It was pretty easy to put together which was nice. The screws were easy to put in and tighten. He like how easy it is to adjust the height of the chair and He says that is it very comfortable. I would say that it is very good quality especially for the price. The only downfall to this product is that the weight limit is 275 so if you are a bigger person, like my hubbs this chair would not work.
