Cherry Tree Furniture Executive Recline Extra Padded Office Chair (Grey Fabric)

Since working from home, I have been on what seems like an impossible mission to find a chair that has enough padding and doesn't make me slide off it! If like me you are short and stumpy and have an issue with ergonomic chairs in that they tip you forward so that you slide off the chair on a regular basis, then this chair is for you! It is well built. It is very comfortable and the most important aspect....The seat tilts back ever so slightly so you stay on the damn thing!!! The chair was easy to assemble (well it was for me because i have built so many of the damn things since lockdown started!) and the back is shaped so it fits your back naturally. The seat is quite big too - I am not a small lady and I even have room to put my foot up on it from time to time while working (I like to sit with one leg under me sometimes). The only negative, and this is not related to the chair but more my poor decision making (sigh), I chose the material cover....big mistake for me because I have 16 cats that seem to think its a new scratching post..(.double sided tape to the rescue for a while until they forget about it). So if you have cats....go for the leather look! Trust me it will be easier! I cant fault it at all. Its a fab chair and I would definitely recommend it.

I had an appalling chair for a while so decided to buy this, and I can honestly say that it is a brilliant chair. It is really comfortable and has a lovely look to it, and it's a very good price (I bought it when it said it was in sale, it told me that it would be dispatched in 4 days when it came in stock, some dfs style sale right there) and I'm loving having a chair that supports me properly and gives great comfort. You can put it together by yourself without someone helping, but at the same time you can get to a place without a car, but it makes it an F tonne easier if you have one, but generally the instructions and the assembly is easy. The only negative I've found so far is that the recline feature really isn't great. Not saying it doesn't work, I'm writing this review now at a lovely angel, but it's just not that great as a piece of equipment. When I first put it together I thought the recline was broken ( I dropped the box containing the parts for it and was 90% sure I had ruined it). Turns out it just requires the strength of The Mountain to make it move back, perhaps after a while the piston will get worn in and it will be easy, but pistons are designed to last for years and run in a simple way with nearly no maintenance, so I reckon I'm just gonna have ultimate back muscles in a month or so. It came four days early and it is as good as it promised on here. In a world where computer chairs are priced beyond reason for how cheap and easy they're made, I think this is probably your best bet, would recommend this chair to any one.

Easy to put together, comfortable to sit on while I work, all round solid chair for its price

vale la pena

If 'completely' satisfied, why 'only' 4 stars for durability? That's me hedging my bets, really, as I've only had the chair for 2 days. I think it is REALLY well made, tho', and cannot foresee any durability issues arising any time soon. Why 'only' 4 for 'support'? Well, 4 is pretty darned good - and it is very comfy and supportive - but there is always room for improvement such as adjustable lumber support etc - ie it ain't 'perfect', but it is lovely... There are LOTS of chairs out there in this price range, and I'm sure many others are equally good, but we ultimately chose this one due to the largely very positive reviews and its aesthetics. We are not disappointed. FEATURES: This chair has a significant advantage over most others in this price range of having an independently reclining backrest which is controlled by a gas ram and operated by the button on the side of the seat base. To operate this, first make sure the WHOLE seat is locked in its upright position (by pressing INWARDS) the height-adjusting lever, then press in the recline button whilst reclining your body back on the backrest - it will move smoothly and remain in whatever position you want when you release the button. (This button operates the gas ram via a cable - it presses on the control button on the end of the gas ram and, if this doesn't work easily - see if that needs adjusting; it's exactly like the cable control on a bike brake lever - you adjust the length of the outer cable. Easy.) To return the backrest, simply lean forward (to remove pressure on the backrest) and press the button - it'll hiss back smoothly... The WHOLE chair can also 'rock' backwards by pulling OUTWARDS the height-adjustment lever, and then you can adjust the tension in that 'rock' - ie how easily it is to lean back and make it 'rock'. You CANNOT lock the whole chair in this recline - it works against spring pressure, so just gives that nice relaxing rocking motion that's so pleasing now and then! Finally there's the height adjustment, again via a gas ram - pull the height-adjustment lever UPWARDS and the chair will smoothly drop if you are sitting on it. Raise yer bum and pull again and it'll smoothly glide back up. ASSEMBLY: No issues at all - it's common sense. The only tool - a hex key - is supplied. One teeny issue was initially trying to align one of the armrest screw holes; the armrest has 2 screws through the seat base, and one in the backrest ('cos it needs to pivot on that one). The screw 'receivers' on the backrest & base are raised round collars so the armrest actually fits neatly over them and locates there before the hex screws are bolted down. I found one side tricky to align at first - when I got the armrest over one collar, the other one was fractionally not lined up and wouldn't fit over. After a few attempts, I tried it the opposite way around; I positioned the other one first - blimey the second one now went on ok. AESTHETICS: Lovely finish to the PU 'leather' - it isn't that nasty shiny heavily-overgrained pseudo-leather plastic at all, but a lovely matt/satin, delicately grained soft finish which looks superb and could easily pass for real leather. Although soft, it also feels nicely thick so I have no worries about durability. All the other components were very solid and very well finished - it really does look like a high quality chair; there is no signs or indications of 'cheapness' at all. Any 'CONS'? Well, it was bought for my mum-in-law who plays on-line Bridge, and - whilst she absolutely loves the chair - she did wish that the backrest could be slightly more vertical so as to still be in contact as she works the keyboard - (she leans forward when 'dealing' cards... :-) ) That has just lit a lightbulb - the bracket for the end of the gas-ram is very easily removed and if I drill a couple of extra holes in it I'll be able to reposition it, say, a quarter or half-inch further towards the back of the seat base - that'll push the backrest forward. It won't matter if it's slightly TOO upright then as - of course - it's adjustable using the side button. Where's my drill...
