SONGMICS Office Chair, Gaming Chair with Armrests, Adjustable Height

I'm writing this review after purchasing this chair almost 2 years ago (bought in November 2024). This is by far the best office chair I've ever bought and I highly recommend it, especially if you are a gamer like myself and spend a lot of time in front of the computer. The chair is very comfortable, well built, so far (2 years later) I don't have any wear on the coverings on the armrests and seat/back itself. There's no issues with the materials fading in the sun and nothing has pealed off like I've had happen on some chairs when the PLU chair covering falls apart. The main thing that makes this chair stand out from all the others i have bought over the years is the fact the arms, that in most office chair designs provides the main structure, holding the bottom and the back of the chair together, is made from metal. Most arm supports on these types of chairs are plastic (quite often made to look like metal, but they're not), and for me, being on the heavy side it's quite often the 1st thing to go when things eventually break. This provides a lot of support and rigidity to the chair, it never feels flimsy. I have spent hundreds of hours sitting in this thing and it's still as good as the day I bought it, well worth the money, awesome job Songmics!

Good quality chair, took around 30-40 mins to assemble with good instructions, however put the seat on back to front, not sure if i misread the instruction or if they could of been a bit clearer, easily sorted though, good range of adjustment on chair, solid and very comfortable, good size and slides under the desk, Great chair for the price, looks fabulous in cream.

My 30 y/o office chair died, and I couldnt afford £600 to replace it; however being REALLY big, most cheap chairs just arent up to it. I was really hesitant about buying this, no chance to try it out, and a few mixed reviews; however my impressions of the build quality and sturdiness are very positive. First off; the packaging is excellent; and either they have re-done the instruction book, or we have some real tools posting reviews, because it was childs play. If I want to nit-pick, the washers arent clearly marked on the diagram; but everything else is clearer than the average Ikea manual. Assembly. All the itty bits were on a shrink wrapped card and clearly labelled and quantified, complete with a VERY good quality Allen key. First castor was a little tight, as was the last, but all went in correctly, and the ram slid securely into place. Fixing the mech to the seat bottom was childs play (this is where the washers go), the arrow designating the front of the seat is clearly shown in the diagram. Plonk the seat and mech onto the ram and unwrap the arms. They only fit one way around, so fairly simple; lining the holes and screws up was a little tricky, mainly because the screws are black and the leather is black; call out here for the fact that all the screws have a blue compound on to help them stay tight. Screws loosely tightened, on to the back !! This is a little trickier, but by leaving the arm rests loose, you can create enough of a gap to see the alignment; the top set of holes stick out and fit into a recess in the armrest - for strength; getting the first one lined up was a little tricky (black on black again), but once it was in, the last screw was easy. 2023 Update. Sadly, over the past 12 months, the back has been making an increasing number of cracking noises, and it is gradually tipping to the right. Bearing in mind, my weight fluctuates between 135 and 155KG, this chair HAS done pretty well, and I am sure for lighter users, it will last much longer. Tighten all the screws down, go back and cinch them a little bit more and decide to leave the covers off to check they dont need tightening again after a weeks use. From opening the box to sitting in the chair - 20 minutes of leisurely assembly time. Impressions of the chair? Pretty good, so the finish isnt as good as my old chair, but they sell DISCOUNT for £600+, but the cost cutting is cosmetic, and out of sight, staples instead of stitching underneath the base of the seat, and the underside of the chrome base is not perfectly glassy smooth; but that is it. Obviously, only time will tell if it lasts; but I will update this review if it all falls apart!!!

Lovely chair for the money. Arrived quickly and efficiently. Easy to assemble, comfortable and quality seems good. Nice to see metal where plastic is commonly used such as for the arms. If we get 5 or more years out of it I’ll be very pleased.

Super comfy chair, bought for my wifes home office, she loves it, easy to assemble took me about 15 mins

A nice colour and a good size - a medium/large build person can sit comfortably. Comprehensive instructions ensured it was easily assembled. It's not a high-quality product, so it is light with minimal padding, making it more suited to a domestic environment. The functionality left much to be desired as I could not get it to recline (not that I use this function) but, worst of all, the screw holes were misaligned causing the back of the chair (not the seat) to lean to one side. I couldn't be bothered to return it, as this would be the second chair that I'd be forced to assemble then dismantle for return. The seat is comfortable enough and level, and I'm using it in the privacy of my home so I'll just tolerate it. However, I am left feeling ripped off! At £122.99 real executive chairs of far superior quality are available from other UK business suppliers. I won't be making this mistake again!

Instructions to put it together weren't great but, nonetheless, we managed to put it together eventually. However, we would've been better off just building it from common sense and eyesight rather than checking the instructions... Errors during construction, caused by the confusion of the terrible instructions, did lead to minor damage on the "leather" material and I have to say that this was disappointing given that its on both sides of the chair back and highly visible. Besides that, the chair is quite comfortable; a firm-ish seat and recline ability makes this a good choice for an "all-day" office seat. I would recommend this chair again but only if I was there to help build it a second time so I could explain what not to do.

2nd time ordering this office chair, this year.. and this time it was a purchase for myself.. Amazing Chair.. Found the instructions clear and easy to follow.. If you're a tall human, this is the chair for you, as the height range is great. My legs feel stretched, and I am in the right sitting position at all times.. Very firm, great product and quality for the price; will definitely recommend for anyone working from home and at the desk often.

Questa sedia è un prodotto eccezionale in tutte le sue caratteristiche. Parto elogiando la qualità dei materiale veramente ottima e sopratutto la qualità costruttiva delle cuciture, all'apparenza molto resistenti e ben fatte senza una minima sbavatura. Inoltre anche la qualità delle parti cromate è top, come lo sono anche le rotelle molto fluide e scorrevoli. Il sistema di alzata e inclinazione è molto robusto e si sente quando lo utilizzate. La comodità è un plus eccezionale, di senti come avvolgere dalla sedia e anche dopo tante ore seduto non ho avvertito nessun tipo di dolore alla schiena. La sedia arriva, ovviamente, completamente smontata e ben imballata, il montaggio è molto semplice e poi c'è il manuale con le raffigurazioni, impossibile sbagliare. Dalle foto potete confrontare le varie misure della poltrona per capire se è quella che fa al caso vostro, considerate che sono alto più di 1,80 m e la reputo una seduta comodissima. Concludendo il rapporto qualità prezzo a mio parere è buono.

Sedia solida ma di bassa statura per altezza oltre 170m. Arriva l'appoggio su collo. Movimento basculante sostiene gran peso fino 150kg e delle rotelle scivolano dolcemente su pavimento senza minimo resistenza.
