This chair is a compact and budget-friendly option, ideal for small spaces and children. While it offers decent back support and is easy to assemble, many guests have noted challenges with the assembly process and a low weight limit of 150 pounds. Despite some concerns about durability and comfort for extended use, it serves well as a temporary or occasional seating solution. Guests appreciate its affordability and suitability for light use.

Desk chair
If you're in need of a small desk chair this is perfect. Keep in mind it is small diameter seating. Does raise which is nice. Works perfectly

Wouldn't reccomend.
This chair was VERY difficult to put together. Was very lucky I had a rubber mallet to get the feet completely in the bottom of the chair. The connecting piece for the top part of the back rest was also designed horribly and took me several minutes to put together. Would only reccomend if you have patience, a screwdriver, and a rubber mallet.

Impossible to assemble does not include all pieces needed to build
This was labeled as includes all hardware you need a screwdriver. It does not come with a screwdriver. It does not come with all hardware to put it together. Went out and bought a screwdriver. Went to put it together and the head thingy well it’s not even a head thing. I guess the back thingy is curved but the pieces that go into it are not curved so I cannot get the second screw into it. I’m not mechanical this is super cheap. It should’ve been easy to put together. I don’t understand why it’s that difficult to include either a little teeny screwdriver or make the thing and Allen wrench thingy like every other do it yourself thing. I also don’t understand why they would make one piece curved and not the other. I cannot no matter what I do. I’ve swapped out screws. I cannot get that last screw to go in because the back is curved, and the plastic piece is not curved so it doesn’t line up with the hole. Horrible do not recommend. Even for something that’s $30. I should at least be able to assemble the thing.

DO NOT BUY
DO NOT BUY THIS CHAIR I tried for 30 minutes to put the feet on and I could only get one of them on! I’ve already taken everything out of the box and I’m pretty irritated that I have to try to Tetris everything back in the box to return it!!

Mr
Parts do not function as advertised! The base of the chair has five "legs" and for each leg there are five "feet" -- foot pieces that should attach to the legs. These are labeled letter "I" and the wheels insert into the feet (letter "I" parts). But the "I" parts do NOT slide and bend into a locked position. Obviously the box had been returned before and resealed for the same reason. This was not one bad sample--- The design is flawed! I've assembled many furniture items. Problem is with this product . Do not buy this !

No instructions
Chair came with no instructions and even when searched up, the instructions provided little help. Was terribly difficult to set up and would not recommend to anyone

For $33, it is a great chair! Getting the legs onto the base was a STRUGGLE, but got it done with force. For my small space, it is great and has back support. I am around 155lbs (5lbs over) and it’s still great. However it is new so I will update if it doesn’t last!

Perfect for small spaces.
For the price this chair is very nice, it is compact perfect for an are that has little space. I did have a problem with the base, the leg extention that holds the wheels was very hard to install. Only after a YouTube video was I able to be suggessful.

Sturdy Little Office Chair
This chair requires your assembly - for the small price, it is worth it. It is sturdy, and has durable parts that are not plastic. You will need a flat type screw driver or a Philps (x) and a can of WD-40. I only used the WD-40 in the beginnning because I didn't want to force the feet on to the base - it is a tight fit. The rest was simple and went as illustrated in the instructions. Disclaimer: Holds up to 150 lbs. it is a small chair and I have a small tight workspace at home plus I am petite.

Surprisingly the best office chair I've ever had
I know this sounds crazy, but as a petite adult woman, this is my favorite desk chair I have ever owned. My feet actually can touch the ground, I can actually sit on the chair how it is intended and it supports my back much better than any of those big expensive office chairs ever have. It's hard to believe because it is so cheap, I only got this because it was the last chair available at target and I needed a chair quickly. Best surprise ever and I have now been using it daily for 5 years. I am actually comfortable on this chair and if it breaks I will happily keep buying it.

150 lb weight limit
150 lb weight limit!! Ridiculous weight limit. It should be advertised as a children's desk chair. Returned item.
