Ticova Ergonomic Office Chair - High Back Desk Chair with Adjustable Lumbar Support, Headrest & 3D Armrest - 130°Rocking Mesh Computer Chair

I've only used this chair for a couple of days, but here are my first impressions:Comfort: This is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever tried. I can sit in it for many hours without discomfort. It feels majestic.Adjustability: Excellent. Even more expensive chairs don’t offer this many adjustment options.Back support: Amazing. My back will thank me for this in the years to come.Reclining: Great reclining function—smooth and supportive.Price: Fantastic value. It beats chairs that cost twice as much or more (though those might have better warranty terms).Warranty: Just okay, but maybe fair for the price.Assembling: It was easy, no problems..Durability: I’ve only had it for a few days, so it’s too soon to say. But I hope it lasts for several years because it feels perfect for me.I did a bit of research before buying a new chair because I didn’t want to spend too much. Several YouTube reviewers recommended this one, and now I understand why. It really deserves the positive reviews it has received.I can highly recommend this chair for both gaming and office. I usually prefer buying local, but even IKEA couldn’t match this one in terms of price and comfort.If it lasts three years or more with normal and good use, I will definitely buy it again. I’d also recommend it to friends and family. It’s a well-designed, ergonomic chair—especially for the price.

easy to assemble and good value for money. we have bought three. the first on the rise and fall cylinder lasted about 3 years of almost daily use

UPDATE:I am posting this as a courtesy to other [tall] purchasers who might be tempted to do what I did.I said in my 1st review that I had jerry-rigged the chair back placement by pushing it back as far as I could to accommodate my long legs. I did it by leaving out the two side screws and putting the center screw into the forward hole in the lift mechanism plate that attaches to the plastic plate holding the seat back. [SEE 1ST TWO PHOTOS] It all seemed sturdy enough to go with only one screw - metal plate, thick, sturdy bolt, thick, tough plastic piece holding the chair back.I WAS WRONG! IF YOU ARE TEMPTED TO DO WHAT I DID TO GET SOME EXTRA SEAT DEPTH......DON'T!!!!I took a break from working, turned on the TV and released the seat so I could lean back to full recline. It wasn't the 1st time, but it was definitely the last. After 10 seconds, heard a CRACK! and an instant later I was crashing backwards - with the chair back - to the floor. The front edge of the plastic plate had cracked under the stress of my 215 lbs. and broken off. [PHOTO #3]I don't think this was in ANY WAY a fault of TICOVA's design or construction. The plastic piece that holds the chair back was made to hold THREE screws, not one. Using only the center screw put ALL of the stress at the end of the plate and it just wasn't manufactured for that much stress. So this was an accident entirely of my own making.I reattached chair back to lifting mechanism using the two [remaining] outside screw holes and seating the back's plastic plate all the way in - where it's supposed to be. So far, it seems solid and strong and I don't anticipate further issues. If I do have any more, I'll just email TICOVA, explain that I am a risk taking idiot who, not being an engineer, am not qualified to estimate tensile strength of anything much sturdier than a banana peel, and politely ask if I can purchase another base for the chair back.P.S. - ONE DAY of sitting in this chair my constant back pain after being in any chair more than 10 minutes disappeared. If you have a bad back, spend the money and get an ergonomic chair.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Just got this chair put together today and I've been sitting in it for less than an hour. However, I am so glad I went through the pain of sending back the first ergonomic chair I got and replacing it with this one. The first chair was the NOUHAUS ergo 3D Office Chair. The NOUHAUS is a beautiful chair, sturdy, well-made [so is this one] and perfect for anyone 6' and under. I am not. I'm 6'2" with long legs and the seat depth with that chair is 16.3".After realizing the first chair was too small, I dove back in and found this TICOVA ergonomic chair, which bills its seat depth at 20.5". It sounded perfect; I like the seat to extend out nearly to the back of my knees, so an extra 4" seat depth fit the bill. The seat didn't feel like it had an extra 4", so at first I panicked. I didn't want to spend $800-1000+ on a chair, but I was nearly resigned to having to order an X-Chair because of the adjustability.I was able to make an adjustment to the seat placement which solved the problem, though I'm not sure if the company intended the solution, as I had to leave off 2 of 3 screws that attaches the chair back to the seat and use a different hole than the intended one for the 3rd screw. [Pictures] Fortunately, it's a thick screw/bolt, and I'll save the other two in case this one snaps from my Covid depression-eating weight gain.This issue could be easily remedied if TICOVA simply changed the design & placement of the holes on the seat plate, which the chair back fits into. I'm not even sure what the extra three holes are for, so if I was redesigning the plate, I'd lose the two back side holes and the smaller front/center hole. Then I would lengthen the channels the screws fit into to allow the chair back to slide as far to the rear as possible. I think, frankly, that I would lengthen the base plate, too. That would allow for even more adjustability and potential seat depth.Am I quibbling? No. I may be 6'2", but my inseam on jeans is only 32"; they fit me fine. But people are getting taller all the time. [My 16 y/o son is already 2" taller than me!] What does someone who's 6'4" or 6'5" do? With a small redesign, TICOVA could capture a broader segment of the market, and I'm all about market share. The chair is good enough that doing something other manufacturers are NOT doing would give them both a design and market edge.Okay, my rant is over. Here are all the cool things I love about this chair.1. Jerry-rigging the chair back placement solved my problem. I now have a nice deep seat, which makes me very happy.2. I am not - nor have I ever been - a fan of mesh chairs. I've worked at a couple companies where I was given an Aeron Herman Miller chair. My reaction was, "Meh." So I can't tell you how much I LOVE THE CUSHIONED, FABRIC COVERED SEAT! I'll live with the mesh back - I don't notice that as much as a mesh seat. But the seat is big and roomy and comfortable. If you have to have a mesh seat, there are plenty of other chairs out there.3. CUSTOMER SERVICE. I [thought I] did not receive assembly instructions and immediately emailed the company's C/S support. They responded via email within an hour with a PDF version of instructions! Great C/S, TICOVA. Thank you.4. Armrests aren't hard plastic. They're covered and padded. They're not *soft*; it is an office chair, after all. But I appreciate having a little give. I also love that the armrests are shaped and have convex channels. It just adds to their comfort.5. I can sit upright in this chair without discomfort. The first chair I tried seemed a bit *too* upright - almost as though it was pitching me a bit forward of vertical. For someone with a bad back, it was wildly uncomfortable. I had to work with that chair in the first tilt-back position, which sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?6. Comes with an Allen wrench and all the screwhead gauges are the same, regardless of the thickness of the screws. Nice touch.7. The instructions are straight forward and the chair was easy to put together.8. I wish the lumbar support was adjustable. They have a chair that does, but not this one. I don't how much more the adjustable chair is, but it's Christmas. Kids come first.DEAR TICOVA: My suggestion to make an adjustment to the plate at the back of the "Mechanism" [the plate that affixes to the seat] comes free of charge. But if you do make a change, feel free to send me the redesigned chair and I'll sing its praises!

This replaces a chair that lost a wheel because of plastic legs. To be honest, I don't know how old the old chair was, but my goal was an ergonomic chair, with metal legs, for a decent price. This chair fit the bill.It came with all the required parts, although the cheap little allen key could have been better. Luckily I have my own tools. It went together very easily, in about thirty minutes.The adjustable arms, headrest, and lumbar support are great. It's a good chair - I recommend it.
