HbadaErgonomic Desk Chair, Computer Office Chair with Flip-up Armrest&Lumbar Support, Adjustable Height, Grey

*DEC 2021. After it was out of guarantee, the Gas strut started to leak and the chair wouldn't stay at the set height. I sent an email to Hbada to explain what had happened, but did not expect them to send F.O.C. (I expected to have to pay for a replacement) a brand-new Gas strut within THREE days! That kind of care simply does not usually exist nowadays, and as a result of their after-sales service, I have taken this review up from 4 to 5 stars! Well done Hbada................................................................................................................................................................................................I've used a few office/computer chairs over the years, & never found one that was comfortable enough for hours of continuous use: until now.My last chair was only 10 months old & was by far the worst ever. Problems with the gas-strut; castors failing & the seat-pad sagging were the main reason that I got rid of it & bought the Hbada chair.Assembly of the Hbada was straightforward, although some of the bolts between the seat & the back/arms were difficult to fit. However, one assembled, the chair looked & felt sturdy. The castors slide easily over the rug that sits under my PC, which was an achilles heel of the last chair & caused castor failure. The seat-pad is as comfortable as any decent chair that I have used, although a little more padding would be a bonus. The ability to raise the arms means that I can stow the chair under my computer desk when I've finished, & gives the Grandkids more space in an otherwise cluttered room. The back of the chair gives me good support, which is a major plus point, as most chairs that I've tried are very poor in this respect, & I've resorted to using an additional cushion to support my back to give that bit of comfort. I haven't needed to do this with the Hbada chair, Excellent!I have given an overall Four Stars (See top for taking the rating up to 5 stars). Ease of assembly could be better, but it's as good as most comparable chairs. Support is definitely Five Stars. Comfort would have also rated at Five Stars if the seat-pad had a little extra filling or depth, but it's still very good. To give some perspective, the best one I have ever used before the Hbada would have rated Three Stars at best. At the discounted Black Friday price, this is a really good purchase. It still beats other chairs in the region of its RRP & is worth consideration if you're looking for a decent chair.

Miles better than my old conventional basic office chair, in all respects. Worth the little extra cost for the extra comfort and versatility. PS I note the price went up recently so I might not have bought it at the new price!EASY TO MOVE. Pleased to find I can move it easily and position it precisely with only one hand.VERSATILE ARM RESTS. Very happy with the flipping arm-rests which make the chair easy to push right under my desk. They're a good width apart, suitable for bigger person & comfy enough for dainty me.SUPPORTIVE SEAT. The seat is an ample size, firm, fabric-covered & comfy enough for any size derriere.COMFY BACKREST. I was pleasantly surprised at how supportive and strong the mesh backrest is.LUMBAR SUPPORT. The lumbar support fits naturally comfortably & has a small range of adjustment. (I'd have preferred more adjustability & in more directions, but it's good enough.)QUIET. Quiet and smooth movement on castors.RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT. Reasonable range of height adjustment - seems good for most average height adults.TILT LEVER. Attractive and very useful feature. Only one lever incorporates both the lift function and the tilt function, very simply. Allows backwards tilt, which is easier to achieve if your feet are flat on floor; I found the resistance in its spring is very strong. It does not have a forwards tilt facility. Maybe I'd have to spend more money to get a typing chair which does that. (Being 5'4" typing at a man-size old desk means I use a footstool so have to lower the seat to get off it quickly.)OVERALL I AM VERY HAPPY with my new typing chair and would recommend it to anyone for any situation, as it seems good value to me being under £100 and very good-looking (the chair, that is).

Needed a chair for where I stay in the week - been working from home using a dining chair for months, and my back has been getting worse. Did not want to spend too much, just wanted something cheap and reasonable in terms of quality and support.The main thing is that I find the chair pretty comfortable. There is lumbar support but not much and I think for some people it may not be enough - you can move it up and down a bit, but not in and out. I can only seem to cope with very thin lumbar support, so that suits me, but if you like a good lumbar cushion-type effect, may not be for you. I like the rocking motion too, it's not too soft, so I don't rock by accident.Obviously, as others have said, the frame is all plastic, but seems very sturdy plastic. Pretty easy to assemble (15 mins), and come with a few spare screws. To get the castors into the plastic base - just put it the right way up, place the castor and bang down on the base, it's easy enough. Photos in the assembly manual are quite hard to see, though not too much of an issue for me.Flip-up arms are very handy. Not a very big chair. I am only 5ft 7 ins and it's fine for me, and I really did not want a massive chair in the kitchen. I can see why some taller people may not have reviewed it so well. It is a pretty cool looking chair as well!At the end of the day, it was £118 after discount and promo. My rating takes that into account. as a good, solid, cheap chair, it's doing the job nicely. I would not compare this with a £1K chair from John Lewis.Been using it for three days - hopefully, I will still feel positive about it in three weeks.
