Promising review: "Started working from home in March and had a very basic cheap chair. Started to hurt sitting for eight hours a day so I added a thick cushion which helped for a couple of weeks, but then it no longer did. Decided to pull the trigger on a gaming chair since they are designed to be sat in for several hours straight, and I'm so happy I did! My tush doesn't hurt anymore after sitting for several hours and my back doesn't feel strained either. Highly recommend for anyone setting up a new home office." —Wayfair Shopper

Promising review: "I purchased this chair when I began working at home. It is actually the third desk chair that I tried and it is a keeper. After sitting in it 10 hours a day, my back does not hurt. It has good support, is really soft and comfortable, and is of high quality. It moves side to side and up and down. If you want a chair with no arms, this is a good buy. The gray color was exactly as pictured and the legs look really nice with the whitewashed wood look." —Jaime

Promising review: "Very pleased and surprised at the quality of this chair! It was easy to assemble and it's nicely padded with a wide seat and back. For a home office desk chair, this is perfect. Both my husband and I are comfortable in it and we're two different heights and sizes. It's hard to find a reasonably priced desk chair withOUT wheels, and I would highly recommend this one." —yoda

Promising review: "I upgraded from one of those bucket 'gamer' seats and this is by far the best upgrade I've made yet. As soon as I sat down, I felt immediate relief on my back and knew I made a great purchase. Also, the wheels glide like a cloud on my laminate floor and it's extremely satisfying — they make no noise whatsoever." —Aaron

Promising review: "This is a supremely comfortable chair. It was very easy to assemble, took maybe 20 minutes. It’s sturdy and supportive, particularly in the lower back, which is great for me. It glides very smoothly across hardwood, and the adjustable recline tension makes it easy to lean back comfortably. Highly recommend." —Nick

Promising review: "Purchased as a Christmas present. It was easy to assemble and had all the parts in the box. Beautiful detail. Leather is soft and colors are brilliant not faded. Lower back massage panel is an added bonus. Seat is nice and wide and allows for fuller legs so your lower leg circulation doesn't get cut off. Adjustable arms allow for comfort. Wheels roll nicely on tile. Highly recommend!" —LLB

Promising review: "This chair looks like real leather and is SO comfortable!! I was unsure how it was going to be, but it has exceeded my expectations!! Another perk is that it looks way more expensive than it is :)." —Rebecca B.

Promising review: "This chair is great! I was shopping around for a chair for my new desk, and I didn't want a black leather corporate-looking chair. However, I'm a guy with an average build, and I was concerned that this chair would be a bit on the smaller side. I was wrong! The chair has a nice premium feel to it, looks great in my apartment, and has a super comfortable seat. It was just what I was looking for! Also it was super easy to assemble, took me less than 15 minutes doing this alone." —Nic

Promising review: "This chair was a little more than I had planned to spend but so far it is well worth it. Easy to put together. Excellent back support. Strong, sturdy cushion.

Promising review: "This chair was much more comfortable than the picture gives tribute to! The lumbar support fits me very well. The seat is a memory foam–feel and has plenty of wiggle room for my stature. Smooth working hydraulic. The tops of each armrest is cushioned as well, which is nice for elbow-pushers like myself! I do wish there were an adjustment or multi-lock position on these, as my height makes them feel a little low. The foot rail is very sturdy and made of metal. It is also adjustable. Very smooth-rolling and a perfect addition to my sewing space!" —Overstock Customer

Promising review: "It was a bit of gamble to buy a chair online without trying and paying for international shipping. Luckily it's a bingo after a long search! Very comfortable, the right size, curves, firmness, armrests, adjustments, great back support for me. Well-manufactured without short cuts. Stylish, nice cheerful color, smart and ergonomic construction. Happy with this purchase." —Natalie
