What We Like

  • BIFMA is the one certification the listing gives.
  • Only one other home office chair has more reviews than its 31,457.

Watch Out For

  • Back support earns nothing here: the Support sub-score is 0, tying for the lowest among home office chairs, as lumbar support (12 points), cushion, upper back support, breathable back, seat edge and headrest adjustment all score zero.
  • Arm adjustment is not stated in the spec details, although the title names padded armrests.

At a Glance

Black faux leather covers this Amazon Basics task chair, which has padded armrests, a mid-back frame and caster wheels.

Who This Chair Is For

  • Sitters who want a recline lock: the listing gives one lock position.
  • Buyers who want the backrest height stated: the spec details give 18.7 inches.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

  • Anyone choosing on comfort should note the Comfort Index of 13, which ties for the fifth lowest among home office chairs.
  • A tilt tension control is not stated in the listing, which matters to anyone who tunes the tilt.

Faux leather Amazon Basics chair: one recline lock position

The listing gives a single recline lock position over a foam seat. The listing does not state a tilt type.

Alternatives to Consider
