Flash Furniture Kelista Mid-Back Swivel Office Chair with Adjustable LeatherSoft Seat Height, Ergonomic Mesh Chair with Flip-Up Arms, Black

I love the design of this chair. It’s comfortable and rolls around pretty well. Different colors are available. I purchased black just for my tastes.Pretty easy to put together and the foot rest area is pretty helpful for how I sit at times. Pretty sturdy and the arms are easily functional.

This chair has been the best purchase I have made for my office space since I bought my standing desk! I telework from my home 100% of the time now. I was just using one of those really nice, leather cushioned, height adjustable bar stools to rest my derrier every now and then; but I took new position that involves a LOT of meetings, some of them a lot longer than others, that I can’t possibly stand through; especially with a herniated disc in my neck. My bar stool was not doing me any favors in that area. So I started searching for ergonomic standing desk chairs. I toiled for days going back and forth between different websites, stores, etc. comparing pricing and different features. There were SO many options with all sorts of fancy descriptions and fancy pricing to go right along. I finally threw my hands up and settled on this one. And what a good deal I got for the price! Everything about it is just right! The height, the seat, the arms, the lumbar support, everything. I read some reviews that complained that the chair would “sink” a few inches when they sat in it. But the “give” is part of the ergonomics. I stand at 5’2” and weigh 135 lbs, and it does give when I sit but not so much that it affects my comfort. The curved seat provides good hip support, and the cushion is very soft but not too “squishy.” I can sit in this chair for my full 8 hour work day, and I don’t get stiff. The arm rests are just the right height with soft padding. It doesn’t recline, but that is not a feature I was looking for. It rolls easily across my tile floors or the thin foam mat I have in front of my desk. The round foot rest easily adjusts up and down and the chair rotates easily. I think this chair is as comfortable if not more comfortable than some of the chairs I tried out in-store that were double the price.

I got this chair open box (returned by a previous buyer) for only $113. I take advantage of large discounts like this because Amazon quality control inspection has been running at about 95% perfect (for me) over the last 20 years. This was no exception. No items were marred in any way. All hardware came sealed in factory blister pack. Zero items missing.Tips for assembly. CAREFULLY thread the bolts by hand, manual T handle 5mm hex, or the supplied 5mm hex wrench. Then, you can machine tighten. I used my small Porter Cable 1/4" drive impact gun and a quality 5mm extra long ball end hex bit. I did the final torque carefully with my T-Handle hex set 5mm.Caution. Snug up these machine screws by hand only. I am quite an expert in too-soft Chinesium hardware. Do NOT torque the hardware down like you would on a car. They are also very easy to cross thread, so take your time.Critical. Do not snug up any screws until the module you are working on has ALL of them threaded (started). Using these guidelines, it took me longer than usual, but I did not break or ruin anything. I had no issues other than taking my time to avoid pitfalls that I see some people complain about. The assembly instructions were excellent. Hardware packaging (blister packs) and identification was unusually excellent.The chair is perfect for people under 5'11". Even the $400 drafting chair I sit on at work does not accommodate a 6'4" man with a 36" inseam. Woefully inadequate thigh support (all the seats are too short for me, regardless of price). I live with it. I have to. I would rather suffer a little and still wake up tall every morning.The arms on this chair a quite tiny in order to save 50 cents on manufacturing costs. This is why I have come to loathe some Chinese products. Can I live with this for the price I paid? Yes.Padding on the seat and shape are not the best, but livable. This chair is specifically for my very high work bench I recently purchased. This chair fits the bill for me. I wont be spending 8-12 hours a day in it. I am happy with what I have, despite its shortcomings. I did not want to spend over $125, so I am thinking the value I got for $113 is quite good.The pneumatic post seems quite robust and full of very good air pressure. The chair is capable of going very high. I find I am only using 75% of its total height capabilities.I am 245lbs. I will keep an eye on any hardware should anything start to loosen. Feels OK fine as far as stability it has five legs ands the casters roll easily on my tile floor. It is No where as good as my work drafting chair, but that costs almost four times more.I am not likely to use the foot rest, but I did not see the weaknesses that some reviewers experienced. Mine is just fine with a very secure locking knob.Note: Before assembly I adjusted the back rest recline tension to max...clockwise towards the + sign embossed on the knob. A big guy like me does not want to lean back too far on a cheap and very high chair. I will probably loosen it 3/4 of a turn. We'll see.

So I am 28, 5'9.5", 125lbs. I have a very bony butt, hip problems, mild scoliosis, and circulation problems. I have never really found a chair that I like or can sit in long term. I just started teleworking about 2 weeks ago. I have a gorgeous drafting desk from World Market and I was using an IKEA barstool as a seat. Well. That was straight up horrible. So much pain. Even with padding, I was bruising on my butt. I almost quit teleworking just because I hated what I had to sit on, and couldn't afford to buy one of the "really nice" drafting chair because I live in Southern California and ~55% of my income goes to rent. Determined not to give up my right to not have to put on pants and go into my law office, I took a gamble on this: one of the least expensive drafting chairs on Amazon. Well. Let me tell you. I sit in this chair for 10 hours a day, typing the entire time, and never feel any pain. My office has a contract with Herman Miller, and we all have the Aeron office chair. I am actually considering buying the regular-size version of this chair and taking it to the office instead of the Aeron, it's that comfortable. Usually at work, I get so distracted by how uncomfortable I am during parts of the day that I am basically worthless. At home with this chair, I have completed so much more work, and it is entirely due to being able to focus on work, and not on being uncomfortable. The ring foot rest is the perfect height. It swivels a little bit, which some might see as distracting- I see it as more of a built in fidget gidgit (it only rotates about 2-4 inches). My only "meh" thing is that the mesh on the armrests is making my elbows dry out, as it's a little rough for sensitive skin. Super simple fix though: buy some other comfy fabric and put a sleeve over the arms. 10/10 would recommend, would buy again, would tell everyone else to buy.
