Recommend (unless the arms on this chair would interfere with sitting close to your desk)
Pros • I love the material of the chair. You don’t get that icky sticky feeling that is common if you are wearing shorts and your skin sits on a leather chair. Especially in any kind of warm or humid situation it breathes better. • Well-padded with memory foam and coils so there is no pain from pressure on the underside of your legs from sitting long periods. • I wanted armrests but for them not to get in the way of my arms, these are fairly wide and out of the way enough not to bother me. • The armrests are NOT adjustable but happen to fit under my IKEA desk which is basic just a flat surface with legs no drawer or thickness. (see specs on clearance in the listing photos to determine if that will be the case for you) These complete specs as shown are very helpful in determining how this chair will fit an existing desk setup. If they didn't fit under my desk I wouldn't want the chair. • It is stylish. I am using it in an apartment that will also be used for an Airbnb rental and wanted something that would give it a hotel room feel. This works. • You can adjust the seat height (see detailed specs) • It tilts and has knob to adjust the tension of the tilt, or it can be locked to prevent tilting. • It comes with great instructions, the only tool you need to assemble comes with it, and it is a quality tool with a comfortable handle. • It was really easy to put together relative to any other chair I have had (see photos series) • The back sits just below my shoulders. This allows me to “Twist Stretch” in a way that a high back wouldn’t. Also, I can put my elbow on the chair back to stretch my shoulders and back in a way I hadn’t thought off prior to this chair but am appreciative of now. Cons • The only real con is that there is no headrest (if that is requirement for you). I spend long hours working in a chair and thought it was something I might want, but since having this chair haven’t thought twice about. I feel the very slightly reclined sitting angle of this chair is comfortable. I’m not using this for gaming so if I was so tired I needed to lay my head back, it would be difficult to type anyway. Also, I don’t believe they style of this chair would look right with a headrest anyway. Additional info • I was not paid for this review or received a discount. • I needed a stylish chair that looked like it belonged in a hotel room but worked for me for long hours of sitting and working, I was sold on this one over a few others I’d been stalking on Amazon because of the memory foam cushion with coils, design, and tilt. It was between this and the other Serta, and this looked the cushier. • It had some kind of mill scruff/scratches on the base of the chair’s chrome star base (slightly visible in the photo). I called and spoke with the service department and spoke with “Rio” whom was really nice and helpful. She sent out a replacement immediately. • The seat cushion has a Velcro strip to hold it in place on the base however after a few weeks of heavy use I found my seat cushion seems to slide out a little. The Velcro strip seems to no line up perfectly with the one on the base. This is a newer line of chairs so these minor bugs are to be expected. As I mentioned, so far service has been awesome and far exceeded these minor issues. I’m going to contact the seller to inquire about this and will update. • The Wooden campaign desk I’m using with it is from World Market: [...] UPDATE: 11/12/16 I was sent a replacement seat cushion after contacting customer service. So far I'm still enjoying the chair. One thing I am planning is getting the beige Serta in the future to go with my thicker desk. It has a half-arm which will allow the chair to slide in under my thicker desk while still at a higher elevation. UPDATE 7/19/2017 I Still enjoy the chair however because of the way that back is angled in a slight lean back configuration, I had to get a lumbar support pillow to provide more upright seating position when doing office work. I alternate between using the lumbar pillow and not, sometime daily, sometimes for a few a week or more just depending on which is more comfortable at the time. It's like laying in bed any one position gets uncomfortable after awhile. Although I do think they could have put a little more padding in the back rest area as it seems less so vs what they did for the seat cushion. For this reason I may remove a star. Also, I'm considering removing the wheels on this chair are repurposing it to the living room, then getting the other Serta chair Serta Leighton Stoneware Beige Home Office Chair The reason for this is that I have another thick edged desk and this chairs arm design is not really compatible with me sitting position being as high up as I want to be in relation to the edge of the desk. Not all desks are like mine so this isn't the chairs fault. However the other mentioned chair has a partial arm that would allow me to get the height and closeness I'm after (I think) short of getting a regular office chair with fold up arms. I'm been using it pretty much fine to this point and enjoyed it, however I am thinking of ways to optimize my seating position now.
