Flash Furniture Garver Mid-Back Navy Executive Chair

I must admit I was hesitant to make a purchase like this online, but I decided to go for it! I’ve had serious back problems and have migrated from uncomfortable kitchen chairs at my office desk to doing any kind of work and/or computer-related things from a lying position on my bed to no avail. It was time to finally get a computer chair, but I didn’t have much to spend.

After browsing for hours, I decided on this chair. I love it! It came in two days, all the hardware along with the allen wrench needed to assemble it were included in the box which was lightweight enough for me to carry myself. The assembly was fast, easy and hassle-free.

I’m quite picky about all things, but especially items in or around my working space – ie. my desk, file area, etc. The chair swivels perfectly, reclines as far back as one would want to tilt and it has great suspension. I’ve been irritated in the past with chairs that are grand – comfortable, expensive, etc. but at maximum height, enough to be at a proper position at my desk, the arm rests are too high to actually fit under my desk causing me to work at a desk from a foot away. This chair is at the perfect height for optimal alignment all the while being able to roll right under my desk so as not to overreach or extend myself to attend to my paperwork, computer, etc.

For the little amount of money I paid and the exceedingly satisfactory product… I would absolutely and definitely recommend this chair to anyone!! Enjoy!

NOS GUSTO LA CALIDAD Y REALMENTE SON MUY CÓMODAS Y FÁCILES DE ARMAR , ELEGIMOS LA CALIFICACIÓN POR LA COMODIDAD QUE NOS BRINDA

After I finally finished putting together my desk (built from scratch) it was time to look at chairs. My problem is that I spend 7+ hours a day working on the computer, but 99% of it being pro bono, I don’t have the budget for the chair that would do my back and my butt justice. So, I settled on this mid-price chair on the positive reviews here alone, and figured that I could always send it back if it wasn’t a good fit.

*Edited at the bottom of the review – see why I downgraded to four stars!*

PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Building the chair was a relatively simple process. The wheels and base simply clicked into place, and once I figured out that I had put one arm on the wrong side, it was a relatively simple process to put the chair and arms together. The chair comes with all the hardware you will need, and also includes an Alan key for tightening bolts – for some people this will be important, as there’s nothing worse than not having the right tool for your new toy!

CONSTRUCTION/QUALITY
I have only owned older or cheaper chairs, but I do have friends with high-end chairs, and I’m pleased to say that this one in particular is just about right for the price-point. The overall build seems just fine – it’s not rickety by any means and if you tighten the bolts properly there shouldn’t be any give. The wheels move well, although I’m on hardwood so I’m not sure how they fair on carpet. Despite the arms and base being made of plastic/nylon, they are a very strong grade and should hold up just fine (I will update the review with any change in this).

ERGONOMICS/COMFORT
I find this chair to be very comfortable overall. There is some (set) lumbar support, and I find it quite easy to sit up straight without having to lean to far back to type comfortably. The chair comes to a nice height at the back (I’m 5’9″), and you can lean it back and set it or allow free leaning with the use of the side lever. The chair has a decent range in terms of height, although if you’re taller or have a tall desk, you might find that it doesn’t go as high as you might want. The seat is reasonably comfortable – it’s definitely not the best I have experienced but so far has helped alleviate any serious fatigue – a legitimate concern when you spend many hours a day at your desk. The arms are unpadded, but not uncomfortable. I rarely use the arms, unless I’m watching a video or taking some time to think, so I didn’t really weigh them in to my rating.

OVERALL
For the price I paid, I am very pleased and at this price point I believe the chair merits the full five stars. I now have a comfortable, decently-made chair for less than a hundred dollars (at the time of this writing), and it has definitely improved my ability to work for longer stretches, allowing me to finish up a day’s work more quickly! Overall, I can definitely recommend this chair as an excellent contender in this price range!

*EDIT*
Well, I decided to downgrade this review to four stars. After having the chair for several months, the seat padding has greatly decreased in effectiveness. Now granted, I use this chair for several hours every day so this may not apply to some people considering the chair, but nevertheless it is worth mentioning. It was only when we purchased a second chair for my wife that it became clear just how compressed the cushioning had become – you could actually feel the difference in height! I will be buying a chair cushion to alleviate this, so I still can recommend this chair, but perhaps with a little less enthusiasm.

First, I am 6’1″ tall, 235 pounds and this chair fits me with just a little bit of extra room on each side of my hips.

If you are 250 pounds + you should get a big mans chair as this chair will be tight on you

I work from my home office and I take online classes so I sit in my chair in front of the computer approximately 10 to 12 hours a day, 5 to 6 days per week. My extremely comfortable high-back executive chair finally broke at the base.

I bought this as an inexpensive “temporary chair” until I can cough up the big bucks for a high-end ($1,000+) high-back solidly built executive chair. I figured this mid-back chair can fill in while I save for the nicer chair.

This chair was very easy to put together. In some of the reviews I read there were complaints about “holes not lining up” and “holes not drilled deep enough for bolts to fit”.

I did not have that problem.

All of the holes lined up perfectly, and all the holes were drilled deep enough. (It would seem the chair’s manufacturer read the review here and increased their quality control)

This chair feels solid. It is comfortable if you want to sit upright with proper posture.

I paid about $73 for this chair with free shipping via Amazon Prime.

For $73, this chair will suit me well for the next 3 – 6 months until I make my move on the high-end chair.

***I will update this review and let you know how long the cylinder holds up. Cylinder always seem to give out on inexpensive chairs but they are easy and inexpensive to replace if the company sells replacement parts, which most do.
