Good high back mesh chair if you're tall barely lasted 3 years.

Final Update: Going from 5 stars to 2. The chair finally broke and became unusable about 3 years and 1 month after I started using it. The plastic part of the back where it bolts to the frame broke. There are 3 threaded inserts molded into the plastic that attach the chair to the frame. The plastic around those inserts broke. The lever that locks the back from tilting back stopped working a while ago too. Office furniture like chairs depreciate over a period of 7 years so I think they should last at least that long. Never had a chair fail in such a short period of time and most chairs I purchase are in this price range. No warranty info on here or on manufacturer's website. Contacting them to see if they can do anything.

Needed a new office chair for over a year but was hard to find an affordable high back mesh chair where people didn't complain that the headrest was too short for them. I'll update the review after I've used the chair for a bit but I'm 6'1" and the headrest sits perfectly. Even some room if you're a little taller.

Chair was easy to put together and is very comfortable. Looks fairly high quality. Arm rests pivot up and out of the way. Lever adjust height.  Another lever locks the rocking of the chair back and a tension knob adjust the reclining tension. I think the castors are good for hardwood floors.

Update: It's been a few months since I've been using this chair for almost 8 hours (usually more) every day and overall I'm very happy with it. It seems durable and I find it very comfortable whether I'm sitting upright or reclined with my feet up on my desk. The controls are easy to use and I like that the arm rests can fold up out of the way.

Its okay, 2.5 years in and the headrest and footrest are peeling.  Its not in direct sunlight and we are not hard on furniture.  It should not be advertised as leather or even a leather blend.  I have other leather chairs that are 30 years old and with proper care are lasting just fine.  This is a good price because in 3 years it will be falling apart in your living room.

Good chair. After 3 years the mechanism that controls the seat attitude/pitch broke...but i was pleased enough with the chair that i reordered.

The "leatherette" material of this chair lasted less then a year for me.  The seat began to rip first and then both the arms cracked at wore down.  There is a scew/bolt pointing upward in each of the arms, and that eventually pokes through the material and gouges my arms every time I sit down.  It's a comfortable chair and I love how the arms swivel up out of the way to fit my armrest needs.  I just wished it lasted longer than a year.  We were able to reupholster the chair fairly easily and add padding to the arms.  If you aren't into having to do a reupholster job, look for a different chair that is not made with leatherette.

Chair arrived in good condition and on time.  It was easy to put together, and was probably the most solid chair I have owned.  Everything felt heavy-duty and metal parts were thick (I am not an expert, but some parts felt like cast iron).  Back (not seat) reclined very nicely as well.  On that basis, it deserves 5 stars.

However, the cushion was too short (rather surprising in a chair rated for up to 400 pounds), so neither my wife (5'9") nor I (6') could sit in it comfortably.  Width was fine (wife is very wide on bottom and still found it ok), but we both sat too far forward in it to be comfortable, so back it is going.  (Which is really too bad, since it is such a nice chair, particularly for the price).  Cushion was a bit on the firm side, but not really uncomfortable, and I am sure it would have softened longer term.  Deduct 2 stars.

In the event the manufacturer reads reviews, fix on this should be rather simple: an adjustable back.  Not moving up/down, but rather that lets us back it up (push it out).  As it is, it pushes us forward, and if we could have made it go back a few inches, then you probably would have had a really happy customer and 5 star rating.

Lasted less than 3 years for occasional use.

Loved this chair at first. After 3 months, it's ripped. There is a seam going right across the seat where you sit. I noticed it pulling slightly apart after about 6 weeks, but thought it would be okay. It's turned into a full rip. Also, the raise lower mechanism isn't working right. I'm 6'1" 275 lbs. I knew it would eventually wear out, but after 3 months is just ridiculous. The chair wasn't cheap.

UPDATE 7/23/17: I got in touch with Kinsal's customer service and they took care of everything. Awesome customer service. If you have any doubts or issues with your chair, get in touch with them. They will take care of you. Thanks so much!

I really like this chair, and it is pretty comfortable, but steer clear if you are more than 200 lbs. I weigh 210 and have had several issues with this chair breaking under very normal (yeah, just sitting) use. Customer service is nice and responsive, but I am currently waiting up to 10 days (estimated shipping time by Boss) for a replacement arm as the original one broke, rendering the chair useless until the replacement arrives.

I bought this chair as a replacement for one that had recently gone bad after only three years of use, and I am concerned about this one lasting even that long.  While the welded base is a definite step up from the molded plastic of my previous chair, the pivot-swivel-attachment bracket is essentially the same design and since that was the part that failed on the last one I am not hopeful.

I also had a great deal of difficultly in assembling the chair because of the low quality of the bolting system they chose.  One bolt was misshapen and that made me need the, luckily included, spare that then only just let me ratchet it into place.  The Allen-wrench included with the chair was fine for all of the other bolts but that specific one required a socket wrench to seat.  I could not see the average person being able to assemble this chair without assistance.

I personally did not use the tall backrest that my old chair had so the very short "mid-back" backrest is not a problem for me, but it might have been better to design it as a lumbar support instead of a straight backrest.  The armrests are set very low and for someone as tall as me (6' 5") they are essentially only there to keep my legs on the seat since my arms barely reach them even when leaning back.  The seat height is great and the cushioning is comfortable.

The seller shipped it very quickly and the free shipping was great.  Unfortunately, since it was shipped through UPS the box arrived with several rips and parts sticking through the box sides.  Overall, it was worth what I paid for it but I'm glad I didn't pay the list price.

The first thing I noticed when opening the huge box, is that the chair is mostly preassembled. You need to attach the wheels to the base, and then attach the base to the upper portion using the pressure cylinder. No need to screw anything in. This was a nice change from my regular cheaper chairs you find at OD.

Everything about this chair is adjustable. The backwards tilt, the seat distance from the back, the arm rests, and of course the height.

It doesn't look like an expensive chair. It looks kinda dull to others actually, but that's just my personal preference.

The picture might suggest otherwise, but this is a mid-back chair, not a high-back one (it only goes as high as my shoulders, and I'm 5'10"). What it is though, is comfortable. I can sit for extended periods of time and still feel fine. Feels very durable too, but I've only had it for a few days.

If you are in the market for a mesh chair, I would definitely recommend this one.

Chair is decent but basic.  I sit, unfortunately, for about 5 hours a day at my job.  There is a lack in lumbar support and no ability to adjust the back angle which is set forward a little too much. Decent build quality. I expect to last 5 years or so with regular use.

Attaching arms, back, and bottom was not an easy task, all screws/washers come in a plastic bag while plastic caps are hidden inside of the plastic cylinder cover. Did include assembly & inventory sheet on one piece of paper; Instructions are only pictographs with parts being identified with numbers. Though more suited for average height people, still comfy for me (6'5"). Is nice for the price.

Edit after 1 year 7 months: chair finally giving out. As with any furniture, the cushion is pretty warn on the bottom and now got a break happening on part of it above a weld. When I bought this chair, I didn't expect it to last so long. I'd say 50 dollars well spent, upping review to 5

This chair is very comfortable and study although not really a high-back chair for my almost 6'2" frame.
I looked at half at dozen or more chairs on Amazon before deciding on this one due to the reasonable price and my good experience with other AmazonBasics products.

Normally I would have given this 4 stars but it picks up a star for ease of assembly.
I had a stroke in 2010 which damaged my vision and left arm. I didn't really expect to be able to assemble it myself but got about 95% through before I needed some help.
The last step is attaching the back and I had trouble lining up the screw holes. My wife figured out that elevating the  the back by putting a cushion underneath allowed the holes to align properly. After solving that problem I still needed her to hold it in place while I put in the screws. Shouldn't be a problem at all for someone with two good hands.
Highly recommened

This was a good chair, for a while. After about seven months of use, the hydraulic piston gave out and stopped staying extended. Then, around the thirteen month point, the right arm started breaking at the screw point. It wasn't securely attached to the base of the chair anymore and the screw point was clearly disconnected. It basically made it impossible to lean back without the right side of the chair unevenly wobbling. I may be able to chalk this up to being a very heavy person (300+), so for what it's worth, the chair did well for holding someone large.

It's a decently comfortable budget chair, and for someone of normal weight it should hold up well.

Bought my chair from Costco and have owned it for about 18 months. I am about 5'8 and my feet can comfortably touch the ground on the lowest setting. I like the chair and the flip up arm rests. The arm rests do wobble some if you shake it back and forth, but they seem durable. Looking to maybe buy another one since my chair has now started to sink about an inch to the bottom left (might be the way I sit in the chair since this seems to happens to other chairs I have purchased)

I don't expect much from a $100 chair. It came in with a broken piece of plastic on the feet. It has a very strange smell that takes at least 2 weeks not to be incredibly prominent when sitting down. It's not incredibly unpleasant, but doesn't smell very great either. It is pretty wobbly and feels pretty cheap.

Overall the chair is pretty comfortable, and I will leave my review as is if it lasts me at least 1-2 years like my last $100 chair did.

Update:
This chair didn't last me 1 year. It lasted about 10 months.
The faux lether has begun to peel on multiple parts of the chair (which I don't care too much about).

The problem now is that the piston has slipped through the base and is dragging on the ground, so you lose about 4 inches from the max height, and you can no longer roll around in the chair unless you want to rip up your carpet or scratch whatever surface you're sliding on. I looked at the max weight for the chair which is 330lbs, I weight nothing close to 330.

I'm not going to knock the chair too much since it's a $100 chair. I'm going to spend a little bit more money on my next chair and hopefully get at least a year out of it.

R.I.P. rolly chair :(
