## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics, This product may originate from Vietnam From the Manufacturer desertcartBasics

Review: A fantastic chair - with fantastic support - both kinds! - I'm generally a big fan of desertcart, I've been a Prime member forever, and I buy, well, almost everything from them. I've often been impressed with their desertcartBasics line, and this chair is no exception. Since many questions come up about comfort and support, I'll mention that I'm 5' 7", 215 lbs, 48, male. Not huge, but definitely overweight. I've gone through many chairs - some just wearing out, and some I've had to get rid of. Most "normal" chairs tend to bend, wear out, or come apart in some way, after a while, and while I tend to prefer "heavy duty" chairs, those chairs tend to be so uncomfortable after a time that it's like sitting on wood. So I admit I was hesitant about this chair - but two things caught my attention: the fantastic price (compared to other chairs), and the desertcartBasics name. While it is true that "Basics" implies... well... "BASICS".... this is BY FAR the most comfortable chair I've ever owned. The part you sit on has a perfect and generous amount of cushioning that has stood up to repeated use, and still remained soft. I frequently have pain at the base of my spine, and I *notice* when a chair is uncomfortable. With other chairs, I"ve had to use pillows or extra padding, but this chair is absolutely amazingly comfortable, even after 7 months of constant use (purchased this in February 2016). The seatback is also awesome - it's made of a kind of nylon mesh netting - not metal (as you'd think from the pictures) but soft material. This stuff is so much more comfortable to lean back into than any normal chair back I've tried, that I find myself leaning back into OFTEN - whereas with other chairs I would avoid leaning back at all. So... bottom, back, lumbar support - all there, and really amazingly nice. Of course... BASICS. So the armrests don't adjust and are not adjustable even during assembly - and the same for the back. The back does "go back" a little, and there is a "push to lock" option on the control arm - but that's it. Up/down, lock/unlock, that's all you get. (There's some kind of knob on the front that I suspect controls tension, but I never mess with it, it doesn't seem to make a difference to me.) Assembly was easy. The screws take an alan wrench (hex key) tool, which comes with the chair. I've seen people commenting on screw holes not lining up, causing the back plate to overlap the bottom plate. Here's the thing: IT'S SUPPOSED TO. Just follow the instructions, assemble the chair in order, and tighten it down. The chair will come out fine, and perfect, and you'll love it. Assembly was typical for an office chair - but I was able to do it myself. This chair is lighter than most, which makes assembly quite easy. Now... not all is sweetness and light here. About 7 months in, the cylinder in this chair started to fail. I'd be sitting on the chair, and it would suddenly JERK downwards about half an inch. Then it would wait about 30 minutes, and JERK down again. UGH! It was not fun! But here's where the desertcartBasics (and desertcart!) really shines: Since this is an "desertcart Product", there is a one-year warranty noted right on the product page... and it's administered... BY desertcart! YAY! They didn't even make me call some other number or company or anything. I just went to MY ORDERS, hit the "Return or Replace" button - this was 7 months later, mind you! - and sent a message. Within a few hours, I heard back from an agent asking if I'd like a refund, or a new chair? WOW! Really? Awesome! I mean... I was a little sad that they couldn't just send me a new cylinder and bottom part or something, but, hey, a whole new chair, okay. They sent it free, with free overnight shipping, and i had it the next day. And let me just amplify on this: I kind of wanted to try to fix this myself. I saw on desertcart where they have replacement cylinders you can buy. And if you have a big hammer, you can apparently "bang out" the old cylinder and replace it with a new one. Not so for this chair: The bottom piece which bolts onto the bottom of the seat cushion, and into which the cylinder fits, is a CLOSED assembly. You can remove it from the chair, but you cannot disassemble it further in order to bang the cylinder out. So don't even try. If you have a cylinder problem within the warranty period (a year), just let desertcart handle it for you. If it's post-warranty, you'll either need some kind of special clamp-on tool (desertcart has these - some of the cylinders come with them) to force the cylinder out from the outside (too much for me, I didn't try that), or you'll just need to buy a new chair. Which, knowing how great this chair is, I'd do in a heartbeat. So, again, a really great product from desertcartBasics, with the absolute top-tier support that you'd come to expect from desertcart. Buy this chair with confidence, it will serve you well!
Review: A great chair for the price and better than some more expensive ones - Let me start by stating that I was, in no way, compensated for this review. I had been looking for a new computer chair for more than a year as the leather on my old one was cracked, I kept sliding down while sitting in it for any length of time, and found it a bit too big (though it wasn't huge) for the room where I had it. I would always have to lower the chair to get it under the desk when I was done using it. I looked all over and tried various mesh back chairs as I did not want leather again. The problem for me is that I am short (5'6") and not particularly heavy (about 138-140 pounds). Most of the chairs I tried I found the seat just that little bit too long and it would cut across the bottom part of my legs. Also, some were too wide. I was looking for a work chair, not a lounge chair; this is in my home for my own use and not meant to impress someone at a business meeting. Buying this chair sight unseen was an act of faith on my part. However, I knew if it didn't work out, and with desertcart's excellent customer service, I could send it back. As it turns out, it was exactly what I was looking for. As many others have mentioned, it was quite easy to assemble and I needed no help doing it. Everything aligned properly and I was using the chair within an hour of the box being delivered, putting it together, and disassembling and disposing of my old chair. I find the chair comfortable to sit on for extended lengths of time. Even at the height I want the chair, so that my feet remain flat on the floor, it slips conveniently under my desk without having to be lowered. The back support is good for me and I do not slide around. The wheels roll smoothly, even on my carpet, and the arm rests are just right for me. Some things you might want to keep in mind are if you have a large body frame then this might not be the best option. If you are quite tall then the stationary lumbar support back and arm rests may not work for your height. If you are looking for something with more padding then this chair probably is not for you. For me, though, it was just what I was looking for.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the casters have K or B stems?**
A: I don't know about "round stems" versus "flat tops" but Master Caster and many other companies use the following letters to describe stems:

"B" Stem is 7/16" x 7/8" Long
"K" Stem is 3/8" x 1" Long

I.e., "B" stems are relatively thicker and shorter than "K" stems, which are relatively thinner but longer than "B" stems.

http://www.needcasters.com/how-to-measure-grip-ring-stem-casters.htm

**Q: What is the seat height at its shortest and its tallest? (floor to top of cushion)**
A: When I was sitting, the maximum height my chair can get is 19 inches from the ground. I measured this using a measuring tape. This is so inconvenient to me, as I cant keep my elbows comfortably on my desk. I think I should get a chair with more maximum height.

**Q: Are the arm rests removable?**
A: The arm rests ARE removable. However, the arm rests ARE NOT adjustable in the manner most customers would expect. The arm rests are static in height. The only way the arm rests are deemed adjustable is by the horizontal distance from the seat cushion. As they are screwed into the chair underneath the seat cushion and the user has about 2 inches room to decide if they would like the arm rests to come closer to or farther from their hips. This is decided at assembly and is not adjustable with flick or pull of a handle - rather you will need to flip the chair over and get out your screw driver.

**Q: Would this chair be ideal for a 200 pound 6 feet person that will sit in it 4-5 hours a day?**
A: I bought a very comfortable chair when I was at 200 pounds, I sat in it for 4-5 hours a day and now I'm at 250 pounds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic chair - with fantastic support - both kinds!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good deal for your money. I don't think you can go too far wrong.
*by T***N on January 21, 2016*

I really kind of like this chair. The last time I bought an office chair was around 15 years or so ago for $150. Real nice - leather seat and back - chrome leather-covered arms. Kind of modern style. Quite comfortable and very stylish. Where I bought it is out of business. I've seen what I think is the same chair at a local store for around $400. I asked them if they would tell me the manufacturer so I could order a new leather seat as the current one ripped at the stitching so now I'm sitting on the frame. They wouldn't. So basically for lack of a seat the chair is ruined. Actually, I have two of them in the same condition. So I needed a new chair. I went to the local big box stores but wasn't really thrilled with what they had. So I went on line and found this chair. Good reviews. Very inexpensive. So I bought it. How bad could it be? I was expecting something pretty bad to be honest. But it isn't. Very quick to assemble (very positive in my book - all parts are well labeled and even someone who can get lost in a paper bag will be able to follow the directions) and quite comfortable. I'm not thrilled with the mesh back. To me it doesn't look particularly durable but who knows? Hopefully it will surprise me. For the money, if it lasts a couple of years I won't feel bad. If it goes longer than that I think I will be ahead of the game. Still much better than what the big box stores are offering for twice the price. UPDATE - Three years and a few months have gone by and my fears about the mesh back were totally unfounded. Chair is still like new and has proven to be an excellent purchase. I would buy again with no hesitation. UPDATE 2 - Four years and nine months later and the chair still looks like new. This has turned out to be a really excellent purchase! UPDATE 3 - November 2023 now. I bought this chair in January 2016. In two months it will be eight years. My fears about the mesh back were unfounded. The chair still looks like new. It is still comfortable. Everything works as expected. Frankly, I'm really surprised. And really happy. Buy this chair if you need a chair. You won't regret it. UPDATE 4 - September 2025 now. Chair is finally starting to show some wear. For the past year I've been working from home. Which means the chair has been getting a lot more seat time. The seat is showing some wear on the edge. And the mesh back is finally starting to fail - about 6" of the right side is no longer attached. That said, it still sits fine and after nearly 10 years I have no complaints whatsoever. I think another year or two and it will likely be time to start thinking about a replacement. And when that time comes I will have absolutely no qualms about ordering another one of the exact same chair.
