Don't buy
on February 14, 2026
Posted by: Wisteria
The chair originally felt comfortable in store. Wide seat where u can criss cross your legs however this seat is very uncomfortable after a certain amount of hours. I regret buying this chair. Save your money on this chair. I originally had the hyken.recommend this chair if you sit for a long period.

Comfy, but ripping up
on February 20, 2026
Posted by: bobjohn
Chair is pretty comfy, but after some use seat seam is already tearing up and can snap at any moment. Very cheap material, the last chair (not the same brand) I had lasted 5 years, this one not even 1 year is already ripping up. Waste of money, DON'T get this brand so cheap!

Good chair with 1 major flaw
on February 26, 2026
Posted by: Bonds25
Overall all this is a comfortable chair at a good price. However, it has one major flaw. The tilting back armrests are an excellent feature but the fact that they do not go all the way back completely annoying. Because of where they stop you'll have both of the ends digging into your arms or shoulders depending on how tall you are. Had the armrests gone back flus with the back of the chair, this chair would be 5 stars.
