Yaheetech Ergonomic Office Chair - Mesh Desk Chair with Foldable Armrests, Adjustable Computer Chair, Back Support, Wheels for Home, Work, Study - Black

EDIT: Was 5 stars, now 3 starsAfter sitting in this chair for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week, for two months – my opinion has changed a little. However, I do not have a similarly priced replacement as an option – so I’m “grinning and bearing”…1st After a few weeks of use every move you make will lead to a (loud) squeaking sound! Not a problem for me as on calls I use Active Noise Cancelling headphones – but I am told by everyone that I am on calls with, they can hear the chair (loudly) squeaking!- Solution = Do NOT move (whilst unmuted) on calls2nd I was a BIG fan of the adjustable back-support when I first started sitting in the chair. Now I am getting frustrated SEVERAL TIMES EVERY DAY as one side of the plastic guide pops out – at which point the back-support attempts to stab me in my right kidney = Rude!- No solution (other than to move it back SEVERAL TIMES EVERY DAY)3rd The flipping covers for the arm hinges will fall-out on a fortnightly / weekly basis. Not a problem – it’s just aesthetics, until you tread on one (not wearing shoes) = OUCH (think Lego)- Solution = Don’t put them back on when they fall out (unless you’re wearing shoes / trainers / boots / slippers (with a solid sole)… You get the idea…)Other than these three updates the chair is OK… I can sit on it, still!ORIGINAL REVIEW:Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...Purchased to Work From Home due to "lock-down".Arrived within 4 days of ordering - faster than the quoted likely delivery dates.Simple and straightforward to put together, remarkably so... Leaving me with a slight feeling of unease, as it took only around 20 minutes to put together! I needn't have worried - it's just simples to build!Maximum seat height is perfect for me, as is the lumbar support (raised to its highest position). The foldable arms are great whilst working, and lift out of the way to allow the chair to fully slide under desk when not in use.My only gripe is the chair feels a little "unsteady" when the tension control knob is released a bit - due to my terrible posture; I like the seat to push forward, rather than be tilted back - with the tension control knob released the chair "rocks" back a little too easily for my liking.My one gripe aside; overall this is a very comfortable and supportive chair, would happily recommend (and if I remember rightly (it's been a while) this chair is more comfortable than the office chair I use at work!)

Summary: A fairly comfortable chair only gripes are the assembly required additional effort due to one screw hole having a metal malformation (fixed in 10 minutes) and the tilt control only have one lockable position. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase.Delivery:+ Very quick two day delivery.+ There was a tracking number (Yodal delivery service) so I could see where the driver was and how many stops away.- Driver asked my name and when confirmed walked off and didn't acknowledge me when I said thank you and have a good day. Maybe he was very busy.Assembly:+ Easy to unpack+ Easy to follow instructions- The seat had one screw hold with malformed metal in it which stopped me being able to put a screw in. I had to get some pliers to dislodge the obstruction and use the included Allen Key to push it down. After about 10 minutes I was able to get the screw in. Everything else was easy.- Not a negative but attaching the seat to the backrest requires two people (one to hold the pieces in place whilst the other puts in the screws). Might be a way around this with one person if you have something to lean against but I couldn't figure out how to do that on my own. To be fair, the instructions do say that two people are required.Usage:+ Seat supports me going up and down (18 stones / 114 kg).+ Seat is very comfortable.+ At six foot tall (183 cm), I find the max height comfortable for me to sit at.+ The pads on the armrests are soft and again, comfortable.+ Backrest has good adjustable lumbar support.- Tilt back has only one lockable position (upright). Note: you have to move the handle in/out to lock/unlock the tilting mechanism.- The locked upright position of the the backrest has a rocking motion to it which I didn't like. I had to really tighten the round knob (torsion controller) to get it to stop rocking and be still. This has the downside that I can't tilt back unless I use a lot of force or loosen the torsion controller. This is manageable but definitely my only real gripe about using the chair. Not a deal break though because I'll mostly want the chair to do office work whilst at home.

Really impressed with this seller. Accidentally ordered to the wrong address and although they were unable to change the address they promptly cancelled the order for me and the money was back in my account the next day. I then reordered the chair and it arrived a day early!Chair itself is great, not the best quality but good for the money and you don't notice when sat on it. Very easy to assemble by yourself and comfy once set up.

After 3 months I noticed that despite raising the chair to it’s highest level, throughout the day my desk and computer gradually got higher - until I realised that this chair’s hydraulic system had already worn out. I’m not particular heavy (75kg) so I can only attribute it to this being a cheap chair with no durability. It’s perfectly comfortable for me when it stays at its highest point but this isn’t for long and after the 20th Zoom call during which I gradually and embarrassingly disappeared from view as the hydraulics failed I’d had enough. Spend a bit (or a lot) more and get a decently manufactured reliable chair - I certainly am now and see the value in spending several hundred pounds on something I will spend more time in than my bed. Learn from my mistake and give this rubbish a wide berth!
