Office Star Executive Ergonomic Leather Chair

Budget leather office chair

Pros
  • Price
  • Extremely adjustable
  • Padded seat, back and arms
Cons
  • Relatively short warranty
  • Assembly difficult for some

The Office Star Executive Ergonomic Leather Chair is a good chair for the price, reviewers say, comfortable and surprisingly well constructed. Although the leather isn't of the highest grade, some owner reviews say it's better than they expected. The chair has a plethora of adjustment options: the angle of the seat and back, the seat height, tilt tension, and height and width of the arms. Owners report that this padded leather chair is very comfortable. The warranty is shorter than those of more expensive chairs, covering three years on upholstery, five years on most other components (non-moving metal parts are covered for 15 years). Reviewers says this is the best budget chair if you really prefer leather upholstery. If you're not interested in leather and want to spend a little less, the Office Star Air Grid Deluxe Task Chair (*Est. $200) is recommended in user reviews.

We didn't find many professional review sources for low- and mid-priced ergonomic office chairs. We did, however, find very positive owner reviews of the Office Star Executive Ergonomic Leather Chair at Overstock.com, Buzzillions.com and Amazon.com.

2. Amazon.com

We found a handful of owner reviews describing the Office Star Executive Ergonomic Leather chair as well built, comfortable and a good value for the money. One owner complains about the amount of assembly required and says the assembly instructions were incorrect, though the manufacturer seems to have corrected this problem. The model reviewed here is actually the EL4350 instead of the EL4300, but the only difference is that this model has a ratchet back height adjustment.
