Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2020The old office chair had seen better days - being rather heavy, worn and looking a bit bedraggled, and in need of replacement. Enter Songmics and their range of office chairs. Having previously purchased kitchen chairs from Songmics and being quite satisfied with their quality and ease of assembly, it was natural to return to them for this purchase.
The Songmics Office Desk Chair - with High Back, Mesh, Swivel Desk, Flip-up Armrests - was a good medium range chair from the Songmics variety. Comfort is provided by sponge-padded seat, arm, and head rests. The arm rests can flip up easily if required for greater arm and hand mobility. With good arm and lumbar support, I found the chair to be as comfortable as most office chairs I have ever had. Perhaps the head rest was found to be a little wanting (not projecting far enough in front), except when in a relaxed body position dependent on the body height of the user.
The height of the seat is easily adjustable and is quite functional - which is more than can be said for the tilt function, which, unfortunately, I found to be less helpful than expected (not really having a "tilt" function). The chair is more suitable for my carpetted floor than previous office desk chairs. The castors are silent and move the steel frame quite easily to where I want to station the chair. It is still necessary, however, to remove body weight from the chair when adjusting floor positions
Importantly, the chair was relatively straightforward to assemble, with relatively clear instructions (though be careful with the "Front" label on the underside of the seat - it can be missed and cause assemblage difficulty). An appropriate Allen Key tool was provided for assembling the parts. The various parts of the chair were all suitably protected with sponge and blister packaging for transportation, and correctly separated and labelled for assembling. The package comes with a spare castor and an extra spare of each type of screw. Thoughtful and practical.
The final assembling of the chairs showed that the seat was a little lopsided. This was probably due to one, or several, of the holes drilled for self-assembling being slightly off centre. This was observable to inspection, though not to casual view, and certainly did not offset the comfortability of the chair.
At the special reduced price, the Songmics Office Desk Chair presents good value for money, with the promise of long-lasting use. It is attractive to look at and has a range of practical functions associated with this type of office desk chair. Recommended.
