Office Hippo Desk Chair, Ergonomic Heavy Duty Office Chair,Highly Adjustable For Extra Comfort & 24 Hour Daily Use, High Back Computer Chair With Seat Slide, 150 kg User Weight - Black Leather Faced

I bought the fabric one. Its a bit different to the photo, same shape but just small differences, like the cushion is thicker, so its different in a good way. Its very well made, and comfortable. The cushion on my last chair became flat and was like sitting on a board, this chair has a much better cushion, like memory foam. So its firm enough not to get crushed but its still comfortable. Its got all the adjustments you could ask for. The casters are smooth also, on my last chair some of them got stuck and dragged along the floor. Its fairly easy to put together, but bolting the base onto the cushion is a bit tricky using only the supplied allen key, since theres not enough space to keep turning it. I used a socket set with an allen key bit and an extender, it was a lot faster. Other than that its pretty straight forward and easy, but its a bit heavy, so you might need help at one or two stages of the build. The price is good since the same chair is about £100 more expensive elsewhere (its a TC Cheetah, says on the box), so its one of the best price/performance chairs you can buy at the moment in my opinion.

It’s a nice looking chair and comfortable. The instruction for putting it together are ok, not great. I had to take it apart because one of the levers didn’t work when I first assembles it. No idea why as I did the exact same thing again to put it back together and it worked fine. Overall I’d recommend it.

First chair arrived damaged because of very poor packaging, so returned it for a replacement. Second chair arrived damaged in the same place (plastic cover over the levers underneath the seat) and also with a small split in the leather seat cover (again due to very poor packaging) but I assembled it anyway as by that time I urgently needed an office chair. However it was impossible to tighten one of the bolts with the allan key provided as the bolt was inaccessible. And once the chair was built I found that the ratchet adjustment for the height of the backrest didn't work at all. So it went back and I received a refund. Very poor quality altogether, avoid this chair!

So far so good, it's a mildly tricky assembly operation, the instructions could be a bit clearer on how the back support slots in (took me a few minutes to figure it out, the end with a hole without a screw thread goes into the back) Getting to the bolts on the base is made much easier by using the seat slide (lever F on the instructions I have) once that is done the mechanism can be slid out of the way allowing unrestricted access to the bolts. I would probably recommend attaching the four bolts you can get to easily first, pulling lever F then sliding the mechanism to put the other bolts in. The supplied allen key is the wrong shape really, while you could assemble the seat with it you'll spend a lot of time messing around. I used a hex bolt driver instead for most of the work. Seat is comfortable and seems sturdy enough. Hopefully I'll remember to come back with more comments once I've been using it a bit more.

Product looks better on the pictures, good quality and sturdy, assembly is fine aprt from 2 of the six bolts that hold the chair adjustment to the seat, 2 of the screw holes are located below the leavers, one you can do with relative irritation but the one at the rear is just beyond stupid and will make the base prone to movement and damage as you cant do it up correctly, for a chair of this money that's poor, was almost to the point of getting so mad with the moron who thought that was a good idea to sending it back. If I were buying these in bulk I would look else where as assembly time is doubled by this, the company must know and think it's funny or not care, apart from that looks ok, but for the money not blown away.

I bought the leather version a year ago and it has settled in well. First the bad: Damaged packaging. A part was missing. Fiddly to set up. No wheel stop. The good far outweighs the bad, especially with the speed in which the company sent the missing part and made it an easy process. Once assembled correctly, this chair is extremely comfortable, and even after a year it looks good (mind you I do look after my things). The leather and cushioning has settled down well and not much maintenance is needed. I don't know about the fabric version, but this was a good investment for me and I'm very happy.

Poor quality control. Back wasn't straight, so hardly orthopaedic! I went for the other chair that Office Hippo sell on here with the lower back. This chair is a TC Cheetah, i thought the higher back looked appealing as i'm tall, but i found the sides dug into my shoulder blades. Worst of all though is that they missed the fact the backrest wasn't even straight - see photos!. Can't rate the other chair highly enough the. The TC Panther is the chair i ended up with and i'm very happy with it. Made by the same company it seems, so check yours thoroughly if you buy one as the QC could be a bit hit and miss. On the plus side it is real leather, not the usual PU or bonded leather rubbish that seem to be flooding the market.

Good for the Sale Price! It has good quality but found the sit a bit on the tougher side! They need to make the sit a bit more comfy. Easy to put together and so far it is going well.

Je suis très satisfait de ce fauteuil, confortable et de très bonne qualité. Les réglages sont nombreux et on peut optimiser sa position de travail. L'assise est assez ferme, mais à l'usage on s'y fait très bien. Le dossier est vraiment ergonomique et convient bien à mon dos sensible au niveau des lombaires. Je recommande.
