![]() The mesh back snugs you in rather than pushes you away.ĭespite a few design flaws, this chair delivers a pretty amazing value. It's not only an eye-catching design, but also a better feel than most. But I was impressed by the unique lumbar support, which consists of vertical plastic pieces flanking the back. The chair stands a little short, with a maximum seat height of just 20 inches - shy of where I'm comfortable as a 6-footer. ![]() Something in the molding was slightly off.īecause the arms are L-shaped, rather than fully enclosed like on many chairs, I actually wanted to reverse their installation so my legs could sit wide. As for the arms, I had to, well, strong-arm one of them into place. Not a big deal, but from there I couldn't get the back to line up correctly with the seat one of them was crooked somehow, resulting in a noticeably wider gap on one side. Turns out you have to manually add the missing joint. During unpacking, I thought the five-arm base had arrived broken, as one arm was cut in half. This was the only chair to give me any real trouble during assembly. Thankfully, the end result isn't bad at all. It's also one of the cheapest chairs in the group, with a few flimsy and odd-fitting parts. With a price tag that typically hovers in the $40 range (for the black model, anyway - there are other colors available priced higher), this is one of the cheapest chairs in the group. It's definitely a top pick in the budget-chair category, but make sure to wait till it's discounted. At times, moving the chair seemed more like dragging the chair.Ībout the price: The Essentials lists for $130, but routinely goes on sale at Staples for $70 - though at this writing it was going for $80. I did encounter one minor issue: One of the casters didn't roll well on my mat. I also appreciate the handful of color options Union & Scale offers, including blue, black and light gray. The arms are actual arms, not wraparound arcs that impede your legs. ![]() Instead of overly aggressive or poorly placed lumbar support, you get a gentle curve and soft mesh. The seat is wide and thick, the back welcoming in a way that most of these chairs aren't. It proved one of the fastest, simplest builds in the group, and the end result was one of the comfiest chairs. This model won me over before I even sat in it, because it comes with superb instructions and color-coded screws to make assembly as easy as humanly possible.
