Cherry Tree FurnitureExecutive Recline Extra Padded Office Chair (Black PU Leather)

I purchased this office chair for my wife. It was a replacement for the uncomfortable and cheap low-back chair she has been using whilst working from home during the lockdown. She has recently been informed that she needs to work from home until Christmas. With this in mind, we decided to invest in a better chair - one that would give improved back support, and generally provide more comfort for the eight hours a day she needs to sit in it. She didn’t want to pay anymore than £90 - so that was a challenge! I spent ages trawling through those available on Amazon, but most within our price range seemed to have just too many negative reviews attached to them. There were all kinds of depressing faults with them: shoddy build quality, damaged covers, difficult to assemble, faulty mechanisms, stripped threads where bolts needed to be attached etc. After much digging though, I came across this Cherry Tree Furniture Executive Chair, it's a big seller, it looked good, it had a fairly wide seat, could easily take my 15 stone should I ever use it, and had many complimentary reviews on it - so I duly ordered one. The price (including delivery) came in at just under £90.It arrived one day later than the confirmed delivery date - so that wasn’t an issue. All the components were contained in one large cardboard box weighing 19.5 Kg. Inside, everything was neatly and securely protected. After taking all the items out, I confirmed to myself that nothing was damaged and that all the listed parts were there. It was then a case of referring to the easy-to-follow instruction leaflet. I never take chances, so I tried all of the screws (total of 10) in all of the threaded holes to make sure they screwed in okay. I then blew out any dust in those holes before commencing to assemble. I'm known as being rather pedantic, so I even put a smidgen of grease on each screw. One word of advice is to make sure you get all of those screws loosely in their threaded holes before you start tightening them up. I took my time, and reckon I single-handedly had it fully assembled in around 15-20 minutes - and it went together like a dream.My wife and I are very happy with this chair. It's comfortable to sit in, the arms are nicely cushioned, the PU leather is soft and pliable, and the controls for elevating/lowering/reclining work smoothly. This actually looks and feels like a more expensive office chair. Only time will tell as to its long-term reliability. This is one of those purchases that I generally give an update on after six months usage - so watch this space...For now, I have no hesitation in recommending this product to those on a similar budget to ours. Really, for the price, this takes some beating. Many thanks for checking out my review, I hope you found it of use.

My "home office" is in an alcove in our living room so a desk chair has to tick a few boxes.1. Comfortable as a desk chair which means it offers good support to my aging back.2. Looks good in a domestic environment.3. Can double up as additional lounge seating if required.4. Price does not break the bankTo satisfy the above proved quite difficult and after three aborted attempts this chair ticks the boxes.First requirement. I have a historic lower back problem and after sitting in many chairs in many shops a fault I have found with most is that the normal sitting position is for too upright which pushes my posterior to the front of the seat and results in no lower back support. Most chairs have a means to adjust the back, either leaving the seat in a fixed position or tilting the seat with the back. The snag being that with most chairs they only lock in the upright position so moving the back can mean keeping pressure on the legs to stop it returning to upright position. This chair satisfies the comfort issue by having a back angle that can be adjusted in relation to the seat via an air spring. Press a button to release the spring, push chair back to required position and let go of the button and it locks the spring. Back stays in position and it almost goes back far enough to make a bed.In addition to the air spring the angle of the seat and back combined can be changed by the standard push back against a spring. This one works better than many and spring adjustment can get just the right tension to hold in position but be a rocker if required.Now number 2. No comfortable desk chair is going to look like a living room chair but this one comes close. The grey woven material is more like something found in a lounge suite than an office..Now to requirement 3. Pull the lever to lower the seat. Press the button to rake the back more and I have the most comfortable well padded living room chair in the house.And now point 4. This chair was half the price of one I sent back as being poorly made and uncomfortable.To finish with a bit of "housekeeping" The chair arrived well packaged against damage which I could not say about some much more expensive chairs. Assembly was very easy. Two bolts to fit each arm, two to attach the back, one pin to attach the air spring. Final four bolts to fit the seat mechanism, push the wheels into the star base and drop the chair on top. . Very quick and very easy. The clear instructions not really needed as all. It also arrived next day although the delivery was shown as 3 to 5 days.Note this review was made soon after delivery. If anything changes with use I will update it.
