KOLLIEE Mid Back Mesh Office Chair Ergonomic Swivel Black Mesh Computer Chair Flip Up Arms with Lumbar Support Adjustable Height Task Chair

Packaging and Installation: The chair parts came packaged in a neat and organized manner. The instructions were clear and easy to follow so building the chair took about 30 minutes to put together. Most of the pieces came together without an issue but the only step in the installation of the chair that you should be careful about when putting it together is when you're screwing the screws into the components. To make sure you have the holes aligned, you shouldn't tighten the screws all the way until you have all the screws in place, that way the holes don't become misaligned when tightening. Build/Comfort: The build quality is decent for the price and feels sturdy when in use. For reference, I weigh 230 pounds and do not feel like the chair will break on me. I can easily roll around and lean back without any problems or worry. The seat is comfortable as I sit on it for hours at a time and do not feel the need to get up or feel any discomfort whatsoever. The only part of the chair that feels noticeably different from the other parts is the pair of armrests. They came a little scratched and have a rough feel to them. This is personally not a problem for me because not only are they adjustable so that they can lift up, but also because I don't particularly use the armrests normally and my torso is a little tall to use them comfortably. Overall this chair is a great chair for the price and seems like it will last me a long time and repeated use.

I used this chair as a desk chair in my apartment. Initially I like the look, the chair is very sleek, the cushion is relatively comfortable. It also came with additional screws which was nice, and all the parts were packaged neatly and protected. That being said, yes the reviewers are telling the truth when they say the chair is not really a typical standard sized office chair. It works well for me because I’m only 5’2, but if this was purchased by I don’t let’s say a 5’9 guy, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. As far as assembly goes, this has been the hardest piece of furniture for me to assemble thus yet. If you get this I definitely recommend having someone help you with lining everything up correctly, and with the wheels. Unfortunately I did this alone and the wheels haunt me. Initially I stuck them in part way, sat on the chair and they all popped off at once. So I was like, okay very strange and decided to watch the instruction video. I saw at that point I had not stuck them in far enough so I started to pop them in, except it took so much pressure to pop even one in, I have blisters on my hands now. I had to take a break before I popped in the last wheel because I didn’t have the strength in my hands anymore. And even then, after praying for god to give me strength, the bastard would not go in. So in the end I took a hammer and hammered it gently into the socket. So, if you find yourself having the same issue, remember, gentle hammering on the edge of the wheel. Also, the arms, very weird, mine were kind of loose after putting in the side screw to hold them onto the back of the chair. Even now there’s a bit of a gap between the chair back and the arms. It seems stable enough so I definitely think it’s more of a cosmetic thing, but while assembling, it may give you troubles. I myself had fear it was going to pop off despite screwing the nail in, to the point the nail wouldn’t budge further. And yet.. It still didn’t fully connect and wobbled?? I think some people were able to get rid of the gap, and you might be able to do that as well, if you have someone holding the arm while screwing it in. Overall though, as a college student doing tons of Writing and reading, I’m grateful to no longer be sitting on my bed to do homework and instead be in my decent chair pulled up to my gorgeous desk.

This chair is good quality for a good price. First off, shipping was super quick and I appreciate that. I had ordered a chair from another vendor, and it took sooo long to be shipped and I had to cancel the order. So glad I did, as I found this chair. Second, it was super easy to assemble for a single woman like me, who is not well versed in fixing things. The instructions were very easy to read, and there is a short video too with instructions on assembling the chair. It was an easy and quick assembly. Once the chair was all ready, it is comfortable, provides great lumbar support, reclines and the arms fold up. And it fits perfectly under my dining room table where I am set up during the Covid to work from home. I can't tell you how much I like this chair, and this is an honest review, without anyone having to pay me or giving me perks to write this review. I'm quite happy with my purchase!

I purchased this chair in July of 2020 and have used it at least 6 days of every week since it arrived. I work from home and probably spend around six hours a day at my desk. So this chair has been heavily used and put through some real life testing. The chair seemed comfortable enough when it was first assembled. The cushion felt decent and the back support felt fine. However, a few months in, the plastic lower back support cracked on one side. Not a huge deal. I've been able to live with it like that without any back pain or issues. However, around that same time, I noticed the cushion seemed like it was starting to go and had to start using an extra cushion or pillow while I worked. This happened a few months after purchase as well. But, again, this chair was heavily used. One year later, I'm still using the chair because I'm cheap. But the chair now tilts to the back left and I can't figure out why as nothing is visibly loose or out of place. This is starting to actually cause some lower back pain, so I'll be replacing soon with a different, more durable chair. Quality office chairs seem to be incredibly expensive. I chose this one because the reviews made it seem like a great choice for those on a budget. After one year, I'm not necessarily unhappy with my purchase, but I definitely wish I would have spent some extra money for something with long-lasting durability and comfort.

Honestly, I've been wanting to get a new chair for a while now. Being stuck at home because of the virus is me always being stuck on my laptop, getting lower back pains because of my poor posture, and my cheap fold-up chair. I have to say while the instructions for this chair were easy to follow, some additional help is definitely needed. I cannot see anyone just putting this together since some of the parts were troublesome to set into place. Especially the wheels. You need to drive the rollers into empty fixtures extremely hard. In my case, I had a hard time doing so, so I got someone to help me. The most challenging part of setting the whole chair into place was screwing the seat onto the back frame. For some reason, not all the holes precisely aligned, which caused me such a long time of confusion. So for any future buyers: when you screw on the handles to the back frame, take care because if the two handles aren't properly angled, you will have to redo this whole step. Overall, other than the struggles of setting the chair up for use, I really like the chair itself. It does okay on low raise carpet; however, it doesn't allow tilting. Because of my carpeting, I'm worried about the wheels getting caught with loose hairs, but that's a future me problem. The mesh design is quite lovely because of the new airflow, and the lower back support is what I wanted. I'm quite satisfied.

Updated Review: After 5 months of daily use the right side of the back rest has snapped just above the armrest. Now I will admit that I was reclined back when this happened, but I thought I had purchased a chair that could withstand reclining. Moral of this story is do not expect longevity from this chair if you intend on reclining back in it. Original Review: For a frame of reference in this review, I've used this chair around 2-4 hours (sometimes more) per day in my home office for almost a month. I'm 5'10" and weigh 175lbs. The chair was easy to assemble out of the box, taking about 15-20 minutes. All parts were clearly labeled and the instructions are easy to follow. The ability to raise the arms is a nice space saving feature that ensures the chair can be pushed all the way in against the desk when not in use. The arms feel very sturdy and show no give. The mesh back feels sturdier than I expected and is surprisingly comfortable. It's not unusual for my back to sweat a bit if I've been sitting in place for an extended period of time, however the mesh back is breathable and keeps my back cool. The seat is comfortable for now, but the padding does seem a little thin so we will see how it has held up down the road. While I know it's probably not how the chair is intended to be used, I do often like to sit cross-legged while at my desk. I really like that the design of this chair allows me to sit cross-legged even while the armrests are in the down position. The height adjuster works perfectly as intended and I find the rocking function to be comfortable and sturdy. After a month of use I have found the chair to be rather noisy. When shifting weight forward, the chair would make a loud croaking squeak that could be heard down the hallway. To solve this I thought I would first check the screws on the bottom of the seat to make sure they were hand tight. I was able to turn all screws on the underside an additional 1.5-2.5 turns. This did not solve the noise issue. I then isolated the noise to the tension spring inside the hand crank knob that adjusts the rocking tension. A couple good squirts of lube in the housing has solved the issue entirely. The internet tells me this is common in office chairs. PROS: Affordable Easy to assemble Comfortable Well designed for small spaces Can comfortably sit cross-legged Sturdy rocking and height adjustment CONS: There is just a bit of lateral play from left-right, so not quite rock solid The seat isn't the most plush The tension spring can be very noisy (but is easy enough to solve with some WD-40 or PB blaster) Probably not the best option if you work from the chair full time The back broke after 5 months Overall, I was quite pleased with the chair in my limited space. It is affordably priced given its features. Alas, my pleasure did not last.

With school starting soon and is set to do hybrid in school and online learning, I decided to get my son a computer chair. I went with this chair because the arms fold up and hoped it would be able to slide under a narrow desk opening since the desk has drawers with storage on both sides and it does the job nicely. The instructions are easy to follow and it included the tool that you need for assemble. Extra screws and cap is included in the package, do not worry if you ends up with extra screws. It took me 5 minutes to put it together. I would recommend keeping all your bolts a little loose and align all the arms to the back before tightening. The rest is pretty much pressure locks in place. This chair is very comfortable; the mesh design is quite lovely to keep your back cool. With the lower back support it keeps you sitting straight and with memory foam, you can sit for a period of tine. And for a middle school kid this is a great chair until high school.

Update 2-8-2022: Its been about a year and a half, the hydraulics are giving out so I have to constantly raise the chair again. The cushion gave out a long time ago, but I didn't mind since I had a cushion to put on top of it. If you can go with something more expensive, that'll last longer it's probably worth it. That's my plan going forward. The headline of my review was either going to be this or, "You may want to take the money you save and buy an electric screwdriver. For $100 bucks, or it's often on sale for below that, this chair is fantastic. Assembly: I saw a lot reviews praising it for its simple assembly. I agree, it is simple, but some of the threading tolerances on my model were too tight, the included allen key wasn't going to cut it, but I think an electric screwdriver, or a drill would make it easy, just be careful not to over tighten and strip something. I didn't have an electric screwdriver, and by the end of assembly I had worked up a sweat. I guess this bit is just to let you know that even though assembly is very simple and well written, it doesn't mean it will be easy. One other note on assembly, when you attach the arms to the back it feels like you should able to tighten them more than you can, they wobble. Once you've attached the back and arms to the bottom though, the arms are perfectly secure. Pros: Price Back design is more supportive than other chairs at around the $70-100 mark from the pictures I can see on amazon Cons: Arm wrest have no height adjust and are too low for me, I'm about 6' or 180cm tall Overall fit and finish would be shoddy for an expensive chair, but at this price point I really can't complain and its professional enough that I wouldn't feel awkward putting them in an meeting room to meet with clients and such. Conclusion: The construction on this one feels pretty solid, but I am also writing this review right after assembling it and I will update if it ends up suddenly giving out. Update: after a couple of months, the back does lose some of its support. If you looking for a cheap decent chair, this looks to be about the best option. The next time I buy a chair, I probably will make sure that the arm wrests are height adjustable, but I will likely have to pay quite a bit more for that luxury. Assembly takes a bit of legwork, but the specifications leave tolerances for slight manufacturing error which is nice to see, and made the process far from frustrating. If a friend came to me and asked if what chair they should buy for their office for under $100 I would point them here 10 times out of 10.
