Flash Furniture Mid-Back Black Mesh Multifunction Executive Swivel Ergonomic Office Chair with Adjustable Arms

For the price you cannot beat this chair. I've had the same office chair that I bought from Wal-Mart over 6 years ago, and it got so flat it really hurt to sit in for more than an hour. After upgrading my personal PC and getting into some longer gaming sessions, I knew I needed something that A) wasn't fake leather and B) had all of the support and adjustments I needed to personalize my sitting posture.This chair delivered on all accounts. The breathable mesh on the seat is thick, retains its shape, and the back is comfy yet durable. It was simple to put together, the rollers are high quality, and the adjustments are all strong and hold well. I can game for hours in comfort without having any pain in my legs or rear. The only gripe, and it's a small one, is the armrests are very hard. They work great for mouse/keyboard, but extended typing or using a gamepad and resting our arms against them at an agle really hurts your elbows after a while. I don't expect soft, padded armrests but that's just something to be aware of if you're buying it to game or you type a lot.I will buy this chair again when/if the first one wears out.*UPDATE 12/17/2015 - I still really like this chair, but the armrests have become the worst I have ever used. They're FAR too tall and can't be adjusted down far enough. After I have played Fallout 4 a few nights with an Xbox One gamepad, my shoulder is sore and my elbows are hurting. I ended up just taking them off and it works out, but I can see why more popular "gaming" chairs have armrests that adjust far lower or fold away. I'd still recommend this chair to anyone who works in an office, but for gaming use...probably not the best choice.

So, I've had three other desk chairs... Not a large amount of chairs, but I feel as though my opinion is a valid one, so read on keeping those things in mind.First of all, let me say that I'm loving this chair, although this should be taken lightly, as today is my first day using it. To keep things simple, I'll just list out the pros and cons of this chair, according to myself.Pros:Sturdy build(Vertically) adjustable armrestsGreat lumbar supportMakes you sit up straight, but very effortlesslyThe mesh allows for complete 'breathability' of the backThe rollers are very quiet, even on hardwood floorsVery easy assembly (only requiring a total of 10 screws and washers (included)Clear instructionsAn vertically adjustable backA tilting seat (forward and backward)Very comfortable (cushy yet firm) seatComfortable and cupping armrestsHeight adjustment of the entire chair is very smoothOverall, this chair is very adjustable to a very large amount of individualsThis chair is sold at a good price, and is, in my opinion, a bargainCons:The only con I can think of, is that the armrests sometimes make a bit of noise due to them being a little more loose because they are adjustable in height. This sound can sometimes be heard when adjusting your arms or moving the chair in certain ways. I would like to point out that this is not annoying, and is negligible.That's about it. I hope this review helps you decide whether or not this is the chair for you.

I just received the chair today. I timed myself on the assembly, because I read a couple reviews here that state assembly is difficult and took a while. I started the timer after unpacking the items, and completed assembly in 14.5 minutes. AND, this was with 2 minutes wasted on finding two washers in my garage that the manufacturer failed to include! Probably one of the easiest pieces of furniture I've ever assembled.The condition of all the parts was very good, with the exception of one minor scuff mark on the rear of the backrest (almost can't see it, unless you are literally inspecting each piece like I did). The box came slighted misshapen, but this is expected with pieces of furniture like this. As long as there is sufficient padding and parts are wrapped properly, the item usually is able to withstand a little abuse while packaged.The manufacturer failed to include two washers. Luckily, I had a couple spare washers, but I would have been a little pissed off if I had to run to the hardware store.The chair is highly adjustable. I just started sitting in it, so I can't comment yet on whether I can sit in the chair for hours without experiencing stiffness or back pain. I will know soon enough, and may update the review at that time.The only complaint I have, and I noticed this immediately after sitting in the chair and started typing this review, is the arm rests could have used a little more thought in terms of design and padding. They are hard, and I'm used to a softer armrest. This is going to be difficult to get used to - I may end up padding them myself somehow. Also, the positioning of the armrests just aren't right, and they aren't adjustable. Sure, you can adjust up/down and in/out, but it's angle of the armrests that I can't seem to adjust to. This is my biggest concern, and I already feel like I'm getting tired just typing this review. Armrests should just be flat. The curvature just causes discomfort, at least for me. For this reason, I am giving the chair 3 stars.[edit]Ok - so, I'm going to upgrade the review with another star, because other than the armrests the chair is actually pretty comfortable. It does seem to be a good bargain for the price, and if that's what you're looking for then you have found it in this chair.

This is an awesome chair for the price. It is super comfortable, with multiple ways to adjust for comfort - the adjustable arms were a must for me as I have neck and shoulder weakness so need that feature. The trade-off for having adjustable arm rests is that they can not flip out of the way. However these arm rests are designed well and are set back far enough that I can get to my keyboard with plenty of room to spare. My husband put it together for me while I took the dog for a walk, and by the time I got back, it was all ready to go - he said it was not difficult. It is comfortable for me at 5'6" and also for my husband at 6'3'. The only mistake that we made was assembling it in the house and keeping it in the house after removing the packaging. I would recommend opening it up and leaving it to air out in a carport or a garage for a few days at least - the off-gassing of the materials is horrible - it has been 5 days and the odor is still strong enough to affect me at the back of my throat when I am in the room. It is chilly here but I have had to keep the windows open whenever I am trying to sit in it and work and I am on the 4th day now. I know eventually that those chemicals will dissipate just like new car smell and new carpet, but yuck. Otherwise, I love the chair, super comfortable.

----------------------UPDATE 1--(July 2022)--------------------So I made another attempt to contact Flash Furniture support and got through to an absolutely wonderful customer service rep. She was able to start a warranty claim for me and is processing that as I type this update. I anticipate replacement parts to be shipped soon, and will update again once they have arrived. Due to this improved experience, I have upped my original one star to a three star. If I were rating my customer service experience with this rep, I would say 5 stars, but I still feel this chair has some quality improvements needed to earn much more than 3 stars.Pro-tip, dont give up on reaching out to their customer service if you buy one and have problems; Once you get through to someone, they are pleasant to work with and do take care of the issues promptly.----------------------ORIGINAL REVIEW--(June 2022)---------------------Started at five stars since it showed up quick typical amazon being amazon there. Assembly was pretty easy, its just an office chair. I weigh 165lbs, not a big guy, so when I saw this was rated for 250lbs I didn't even think twice. Still five stars..... for now.Within 3 months of buying the chair, the gas cylinder that allows you to adjust the chair up or down decided to fail. While this was irritating, I can't help but laugh a little since I was sitting in it at the time it decided to quit its job and slowly sink till bottoming out. This thing barely made it 90 days. Immediate downgrade to 3 stars.I attempted to contact support multiple times, but didn't seem to matter when I made the attempt, even during listed open business hours, I get a recording saying they are closed.At that point I decided to just count my losses and deal with it, my desk is a bit low, so its not terrible. Within a few weeks the left arm rest started to disintegrate, theres a large chunk of it missing now. (no I dont/didn't pick at it)Fast forward to a few days ago and while I'm leaning forward the seat base moved in an odd way. I look under the chair to investigate and (see picture) a weld decided to fail.I've bought "executive" high back 'cheap' chairs over the years in the $50-$75 dollar range back when OfficeDepot and OfficeMax had their version of a cheap office chair in that price range. This was over twice that cost and couldn't compete on its best day. This chair barely lasted 230 days, ~70 cents a day.When you spend $150+ on something with "proven commercial quality" and it has multiple component failures within the first 6ish months you own it, you start wondering if your definition of "commercial" is the same as the manufacture.The 5 year warranty reminds me of the scene in Tommy Boy, and unfortunately I can't quote it exactly as its not PG, but the point being made was customers love guarantees on the box, but Tommy makes a great point, you can put all the guarantees on the box you want, that doesn't change the quality of whats inside. You're just buying a guarantees piece of junk.... especially in this case.Do not add to cart, do not buy.I would happily update this review if the seller/manufacture reached out to help resolve this... especially since I couldn't reach them. If I pretend nothing broke, it would probably get a 3 or 4 star review from me... for the price its decent, adjustments are good, I do wish the back was higher, but its a mid-back, not a high back so thats more my problem than the chairs.

For the price this chair is quite good. I've had it for only about a month though, so not sure about long term durability. The mesh back does well with keeping cool. I haven't had an issue with mine stretching out yet like others have mentioned. Only time will tell. The adjustable arms are a little tall for going under desks even at the lowest setting, but are about right for resting your forearm although they don't necessarily need to be installed at all if so desired. The arm rests are made out of a rubbery foam material which seem to be holding up fine, but for those that are rough with their chairs, they will tear up at some point. The seat is cushy enough for me, and the contours are just fine. I do like all the adjustments, so I can fine tune my seating position. That was what drew me to this chair in the first place. The height adjustment is a little high at the lowest setting though. It's not a problem for me (6'1"), but I can see where it could be for those who are shorter. I was a little worried that the plastic base would be kind of weak (as opposed to a metal base), but it doesn't seem to be an issue at all. The instructions aren't great (not horrible either), but there really isn't much to it. If you can read and follow instructions, it won't be a problem for most. The best part of all is that it's silent. No squeaky squeaky like my old chair!Pros:Holy adjustable, Batman!Mesh backComfy contoured seatRelatively easy to put together if you can read and follow instructionsCons:A little tall at lowest seat height setting may be an issue for someArm rests at lowest setting are a little high, too

Very sturdy, exceptionally easy to assemble, and every adjustment you could want. Goes at least a few inches higher than I need (I'm 5' 11"). Here's a list of the possible adjustments:1.) Seat height - paddle control.2.) Seat angle - paddle control, sets the angle of the seat bottom and back together (see #4 below). Can be locked in place, or pull the lever all the way up to allow the seat to rock freely.3.) Ease of rocking - adjustment knob located under the front of the seat bottom. Adjusts how easily the seat rocks if the above paddle control is in the "Up" position.4.) Angle of seat back - paddle control. Allows for independent adjustment of the seat back. Can be locked in place, or pull the lever all the way up to let the seat back move freely. (Seat back is spring-loaded to move forward; the spring is a bit heavy and applies more pressure on my back than I like, so I lock this one in place with the paddle control.)5.) Armrest height - buttons under each armrest allow them to be raised or lowered. There are six positions allowing adjustment over about a three inch range.6.) Height of seat back - an adjustment screw can be loosened allowing the seat back to be raised or lowered over about a three to four inch range.

I've been using this chair for 5 months before I wrote this review. I've had no damage issues and the quality hasn't declined with daily use.This chair is a good purchase for the price and quality of the product. I'm 5'8" and around 145 pounds. I use the chair daily, and will be in it for 8 hours a day during college terms. The chair supports my lower back well, and the mesh on the back of the chair is firm enough to support but elastic enough to still be comfortable and conform to the contours of my back. The chair has enough adjustment mechanisms to keep the support focus on the lumbar spine, while tilting the seat at the correct angle to prevent tingling in the lower legs. The seat has firm cushioning, which keeps the chair comfortable and doesn't generate sore spots after repeated hours of sitting. Assembling the chair was simple enough. If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you can assemble this chair. I had no issues with shipping damage.I will mention 3 downfalls to the chair. First, the arm rests tend to rattle around when they're in the lowest possible position. The rattling stops if I raise their height, but the desk I sit at won't allow me to raise them beyond the lowest setting. While it doesn't affect the quality of the chair or how I use it, it's fairly annoying to hear the rattling basically every time I move the chair to sit in it, or pretty much any movement of the chair. I haven't tried to stop the rattling, but I would have to try and figure out how to remove the arm rests which is more time than I want to spend on a manufacturing issue.Second, this chair's lowest height setting seems fairly tall for someone of my height. I have it at its lowest setting, and my legs are just at the ideal angle to keep my feet flat on the floor. I can tilt the seat angle to help a little, but it's worth mentioning in case you are shorter than me. This could be addressed by placing something on the floor for my feet, but it's not ideal to do so.Finally, the seat cushion has a mesh liner covering it, which means small particles can end up between the seat and the mesh liner. Since I eat at my desk, small food particles can end up in that space. This is a minor issue, since a general sweeping motion with my hand or a towel will eventually catch the particles and send them flying onto the floor.

Nach knapp 4 Jahren ist der Verfall nicht mehr aufzuhalten - zu erst verabschiedeten sich die Armlehnen, dann nach und nach alle verstellbaren Parts wie Rückenlehnenwippe, neigungsverstellung, die Höhenverstellung wird als nächstes ihren Dienst einstelln. Vom Kauf des Stuhls kann ich nur abraten :-(

Se trata de una silla de diseño elegante y aparentemente muy sólida, quizá también porque tiene un peso nada desdeñable. Destacar que también es muy ergonómica. Se monta bastante fácil, aunque lleva algo de tiempo, y las piezas encajan a la perfección. En general todas las apreciaciones son positivas y quizá el único problema mínimamente reseñable sean las ruedas que parecen atascarse y le quitan algo de fluidez al movimiento.

Great value. It has 3 adjustments including height, tilt back and back recline.If you have carpet you need a hard chair mat. I ordered the "AmazonBasics Polycarbonate Anti-Slip Chair Mat for Hard Floors - 47" x 59" "

Muy cómoda y fácil de montar

extremely comfortable
