PADDED ARMS WON’T DAMAGE THE DESK!Arrived super fast. Well packed. And my 21 year old hauled it up to his apartment and set it up himself. Looks more high end than a regular desk chair and most importantly, my son wanted a chair with arms but I wanted one without so it didn’t damage his new desk – this was our compromise. My son is only 5″7′ so adjusted for him, the desk arms fit under the desk and even if they didn’t, the padding would prevent damage to the edge of the desk. He says it’s comfortable so I’m hoping the padding and fabric hold up over time. Nice mid century feel. Ordered the darkest grey (I think it was a charcoal) hoping that it won’t show stains or pilling. So far so good. Recommend!

Recommend (unless the arms on this chair would interfere with sitting close to your desk)Pros• I love the material of the chair. You don’t get that icky sticky feeling that is common if you are wearing shorts and your skin sits on a leather chair. Especially in any kind of warm or humid situation it breathes better.• Well-padded with memory foam and coils so there is no pain from pressure on the underside of your legs from sitting long periods.• I wanted armrests but for them not to get in the way of my arms, these are fairly wide and out of the way enough not to bother me.• The armrests are NOT adjustable but happen to fit under my IKEA desk which is basic just a flat surface with legs no drawer or thickness. (see specs on clearance in the listing photos to determine if that will be the case for you) These complete specs as shown are very helpful in determining how this chair will fit an existing desk setup. If they didn’t fit under my desk I wouldn’t want the chair.• It is stylish. I am using it in an apartment that will also be used for an Airbnb rental and wanted something that would give it a hotel room feel. This works.• You can adjust the seat height (see detailed specs)• It tilts and has knob to adjust the tension of the tilt, or it can be locked to prevent tilting.• It comes with great instructions, the only tool you need to assemble comes with it, and it is a quality tool with a comfortable handle.• It was really easy to put together relative to any other chair I have had (see photos series)• The back sits just below my shoulders. This allows me to “Twist Stretch” in a way that a high back wouldn’t. Also, I can put my elbow on the chair back to stretch my shoulders and back in a way I hadn’t thought off prior to this chair but am appreciative of now.Cons• The only real con is that there is no headrest (if that is requirement for you). I spend long hours working in a chair and thought it was something I might want, but since having this chair haven’t thought twice about. I feel the very slightly reclined sitting angle of this chair is comfortable. I’m not using this for gaming so if I was so tired I needed to lay my head back, it would be difficult to type anyway. Also, I don’t believe they style of this chair would look right with a headrest anyway.Additional info• I was not paid for this review or received a discount.• I needed a stylish chair that looked like it belonged in a hotel room but worked for me for long hours of sitting and working, I was sold on this one over a few others I’d been stalking on Amazon because of the memory foam cushion with coils, design, and tilt. It was between this and the other Serta, and this looked the cushier.• It had some kind of mill scruff/scratches on the base of the chair’s chrome star base (slightly visible in the photo). I called and spoke with the service department and spoke with “Rio” whom was really nice and helpful. She sent out a replacement immediately.• The seat cushion has a Velcro strip to hold it in place on the base however after a few weeks of heavy use I found my seat cushion seems to slide out a little. The Velcro strip seems to no line up perfectly with the one on the base. This is a newer line of chairs so these minor bugs are to be expected. As I mentioned, so far service has been awesome and far exceeded these minor issues. I’m going to contact the seller to inquire about this and will update.• The Wooden campaign desk I’m using with it is from World Market: […]UPDATE: 11/12/16I was sent a replacement seat cushion after contacting customer service. So far I’m still enjoying the chair. One thing I am planning is getting the beige Serta in the future to go with my thicker desk. It has a half-arm which will allow the chair to slide in under my thicker desk while still at a higher elevation.UPDATE 7/19/2017I Still enjoy the chair however because of the way that back is angled in a slight lean back configuration, I had to get a lumbar support pillow to provide more upright seating position when doing office work. I alternate between using the lumbar pillow and not, sometime daily, sometimes for a few a week or more just depending on which is more comfortable at the time. It’s like laying in bed any one position gets uncomfortable after awhile. Although I do think they could have put a little more padding in the back rest area as it seems less so vs what they did for the seat cushion. For this reason I may remove a star. Also, I’m considering removing the wheels on this chair are repurposing it to the living room, then getting the other Serta chair
Serta Leighton Stoneware Beige Home Office Chair
The reason for this is that I have another thick edged desk and this chairs arm design is not really compatible with me sitting position being as high up as I want to be in relation to the edge of the desk. Not all desks are like mine so this isn’t the chairs fault. However the other mentioned chair has a partial arm that would allow me to get the height and closeness I’m after (I think) short of getting a regular office chair with fold up arms. I’m been using it pretty much fine to this point and enjoyed it, however I am thinking of ways to optimize my seating position now.

NiceI really love my chair. I wish it was in a stiff to lean back but it’s still new.

Might be better for lounging than workingThis chair feels very reclined. I don’t love it for working during the day but I like the deeper seat and I can sit with my legs up at night while watching TV. It’s pretty comfortable but might need an extra pillow to prop you upright. I’m 120 lbs or so and the seat will not stay at the highest adjested height and keeps dropping back down.

Not worth the priceI’m extremely disappointed in this purchase. Bought because I wanted something comfortable and supportive, but also aesthetically pleasing. This chair is not supportive, I have to put a small pillow against my lower back to sit up strait. The seat cushion is okay, but doesn’t feel like it will last in terms of durability. The fabric is a rougher almost wool like fabric. It seems like it will hold up to wear and tear. Overall I would not recommend spending the money on this chair.

Great, But..The chair is cuty and functionaal. very comfortable for long days in the office. However, I’ve had it just shy of 3 months and the seam between the back and side has ripped open exposing the filling in the chair.

Great Except….Have been searching for a replacement office chair for our home office for several years to swap out with a much-loved but incredibly worn out original. This is literally the 5th chair I’ve purchased. Functionally and comfort wise, this chair is a score. Yup, it was pricey but the value it there. My one and only issue is a flaw in the leather on the top surface of the chair back (very visible). I was super careful assembling the chair – keeping the plastic covering on the leather surfaces while I attached all the hardware and leg assemblies. I was super bummed when I put the chair in place in the office, removed the plastic bag and saw the leather flaw. No way am I going to take it all apart and package it back up! I’ll live with it. Lesson learned. Check it all out thoroughly when it arrives! YUP….the old chair is headed to the curb!! Score.

Love it, beautiful and comfortableOverall impression: Love this chair. I put it together in about 25 mins. It is beautiful as you can see in the pic. I got the bonded leather in cream and didn’t like it at first but it looks great in the right lighting. The chair is super comfortable and I haven’t left it since putting it together (about 2 hours ago). I wanted this chair specifically because I wanted a chair I could pull my legs in and kinda curl up in to read a book or something but also be good to do desk work. It is perfect for me and isn’t too big or too small. I will say if you are a bigger/ wider person it may be a little snug. I am 130lbs and I fit in it just right. They only thing I can say about it so far is that it doesn’t fit under my desk but I didn’t measure it so that was my fault not a big deal though. If that’s important to you definitely measure your desk height before buying. It is easily adjustable. I will update this review and let yall know if I find that the quality of the chair deteriorates quickly with use. Otherwise, I highly recommend this chair.Extra backgrounds info: So I was planning to return the chair as soon as I opened the box ONLY because I wasn’t a fan of the cream color when I looked in the box. Right before I was about to take it to UPS, I decide to take it out the box and look at it in better lighting. It looks more like the cream color I thought it would be instead of a light beige/yellow color that it had in the box. I would have preferred the ivory as this chair is truly cream colored but I decided to keep it since it is a beautiful chair.

Not as wide as it looks in the picturesThe photos given on the product make it seem very wide, which was the reason I bought the chair, it’s actually a lot smaller than anticipated. Still a very sturdy chair, and the assembly was incredibly easy and I am someone who loathes assembling things and is usually really bad and take hours on hours to assemble things. The assembly had like 3 steps and it was done, super easy. Only thing I’m disappointed on is the size.
