Comfortable office chair!
We love the look of the chair, it is black leather and all the other parts are black as well. The arm rests could be a bit beefier on the sides, but are still comfortable. The assembly was easy and straightforward. All the needed tools were provided. Overall a great office chair to recommend!

The product came damaged with broken parts and marks on the back. Since we don't want to deal with hustles of return and need something sooner we decided to keep it. But for this money expected the product to be shipped better.

    Great office chair
    Great office chair with soft material. I have been using this chair for over 2 years without a problem. It's durable and does the job. Not fancy but works for me. Has a lever for moving up and down. Arm rest also have some cushion.

    Good office chair for the money.
    This chair was as depicted on the box and website. Easily assembled and comfortable height and seat. Will work well at my desk, with adjustable seat height and rolls easily over tile or carpet

    Will Never Support This Brand
    This was my first experience purchasing a Mainstays brand item. I decided I will never do so again. One of the armrests came with a tear on it. That tear will expand overtime and so I'm not taking any chances. Poor quality control from a company. I also did not like the backing of the chair. There was 0 support since they stuffed most of the parts inside a hollow space. I'm sending this back if I don't get a refund.

    Seat Cushion not so good
    Good for the price but the leather of the chair does not stay intact with the shape. The place where you sit should be made with better quality cushion so that it can last more and retains its look.

    Satisfied Consumer
    Very pleased with this product. Easy to assemble (15 min. or less) and the instructions are simple to understand. Purchased the chair in both brown and black. Recommendation: If possible, purchase an Allen wrench screwdriver or screwdriver bit set to help expedite the assembly process. If not, the standard Allen key is included.

    Comfy work chair!!
    I seen black chair on display in the store. I ordered the brown Leather to match my desk and decor. I received it today and put it together by myself (female)!!! I love it! Its so soft and does NOT look cheap.

    Only had for 7 months
    Disappointed. This chair did not last at all. Granted I sit on this chair everyday, so maybe for people who don't use it as much that it might last longer. I don't have any pets that have scratched this chair up, just my bottom on the seat and it is tearing up

    Best Purchase On A Budget
    I love it! There is nothing I don't like about it. The price was great and the quality is fantastic! I am very pleased with my purchase! Thank you, Walmart for providing quality to your customers at an affordable price!

    Comfortable and sturdy
    I had an old worn out leather chair so this came just in time. It was very easy to assemble and I was able to do it by myself. It took me less than 30 mins. The quality of the leather is great. I love the ridges in the seat too. They provide comfort. Its adjustable in terms of setting the chair higher or lower but doesn't go backwards very far which a bit of a bummer. But overall this a sturdy high quality chair and I would recommend.

    Comfy chair
    This is a great chair. It was easy to put together. It is very comfortable. It has a very nice look that could be used anywhere, doesn't look like a cheap chair. The only thing I didn't like was the seat length. It seemed to be for shorter people, I can sit in it ok but would like a little more room. I am including a picture measuring the seat. Other than that i really liked it. My son likes to use it when playing games. Love the padded arms and it provides lots of cushion for your back and bottom. The tilt was a little stiff to begin with but looser up as we messed with it. This would be a great addition to any room!

    Excellent choice for a new office chair
    I was very impressed with this Mainstays Bonded Leather Office Manager Chair! Once I saw the price of the item, I wasn't expecting much in the area of features and detailing. However, I was pleasantly surprised when the chair arrived. I was away when it arrived and my husband had it assembled when I returned home, therefore, I cannot personally speak to the assembly. He said it was one of the easiest items he has ever assembled, so it must have been a good experience. The bonded leather gives the chair a very stylish and more expensive look and feel and would work well with any home or office décor. Incidentally, it is available in black, gray, and brown. I really LOVE the padded arm rests—which are a super-cool feature. It has a gas lift adjustable seat that is very easy to operate and works so smoothly. The chair feels “tight,” well-made, and rolls and maneuvers quietly. The memory foam offers great support and will make such a difference when you spend a lot of time at your computer. I can't say enough about the awesome features of this chair and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. With a new school year approaching, this would make a wonderful gift for your high school or college student.

    Decent Desk Chair
    The Mainstays Leather Mid-Back Office Chair is a decent chair. Assembly was clear by the instructions. It took me less than an hour to fully assemble and I am not the best or quickest at assembly. Everything was wrapped individually and the fasteners packet was clearly marked and noted in the instructions. The hardest part was the armrests and after a little adjusting they turned out great as well. The chair has memory foam which makes for a comfortable seat and back. The leather is bonded and looks quite classy in an office setting. The armrests are padded and are noted to be ergonomically placed. They are at a comfortable position and level. The chair moves easily over my hard floors but I can not speak to how they would roll on a carpeted surface. There is also a lever to adjust the height and allow for tilt. It is a mid-back chair so the back only goes to right below the shoulders. I personally did not care for this chair, but only because I prefer a “bigger” seat base. This chair let me know that my high back chair is better for me. I ended up giving this chair to my daughter for use at her desk. It's perfect for her because it fits under her desk and the seat base really fits her better. This should not be a deal breaker for anyone thought because it is all in preference. I just really felt like I had no “wiggle” room while sitting in this. The tilt is very tight at the moment, but I know with use it'll loosen up some. I felt like I had to really push back to get it to tilt. My daughter really likes this chair. She works on her computer a lot and she says it doesn't make her rear end hurt like her old chair did. The memory foam is really a great part of the chair. Overall, I would recommend it just be sure you absolutely do not want a higher back or a bigger seat width.

    Attractive and Wide enough for me
    This Mainstays Bonded Leather Mid-Back Manager's Office Chair has both the good and the not so great to offer. First, all parts were present; including the needed wrench for assembly, and everything was in pristine condition. Assembly tool less than 10 minutes total. The caster wheels do move easily and the chair is suitable for multiple types of flooring as advertised. The bonded leather is supple and attractive and the armrests comfortable. I'm pleased that the width of the chair allows larger people, like me, to sit comfortably and the memory foam seat is not very plush but acceptable. The gas lift adjustable height level functioned properly and is very responsive. HOWEVER the tilt/tension control knob does NOT function as expected. The knob does turn but does NOT lock any desired tilt position in place as it should. I had four different people attempt to control the tension and it will make it a smidge slower in tilt, but the difference is negligible. I called the 1-800 number on the box and they offered to send me the entire under seat part which has the lift lever and knob, but I declined as I doubt I could separate the existing piece from the gas lift piston base it needed to snap into during assembly. We tried but couldn't separate them. The chair is still fully functional, it just won't lock into a tilted position and I don't really use that anyway. For the price, functionality, and stylish appearance I'll rate it a solid 4 stars.

    Comfortable, Sleek Office Chair
    I really like the Mainstays Bonded Leather Mid-Back Manager's Office Chair. It's both comfortable and looks nice. It's not bulky like some rolling office chairs can be, yet it's big enough to make me feel very comfortable. The overall look of the chair is modern yet it would likely complement any style. At an affordable price point, this is a wonderful option for an office chair. The chair came nicely packed with easy to follow instructions that even this impatient/non-direction reader could follow! The seat of the chair is made with memory foam which you can definitely feel when taking a seat - very comfortable. It comes with a level to adjust the height which works seamlessly. Overall, I really like this chair and would recommend it to anyone looking for new office seating!

    Not very comfortable
    I found this chair to be very stiff and uncomfortable. It is good at keeping me awake while at the computer. Assembly was easy, instructions were very clear. No missing parts. The back was a little hard to unzip to get the parts from the inside of the back. The tension control doesn't do much. It does lean back and have a lock to make it not lean (the part of the chair that controls the height also pushes in and out to lock the leaning). This chair doesn't seem to be designed for adults. It is better suited for upper elementary or middle school kids.

    Great
    I have a small desk and computer in my basement that I use for bills and planning. Nothing super fancy. This chair is the perfect addition to my “office space”. Putting the chair together seemed really daunting. There was SO many pieces and I really thought it was going to take me a couple hours. Once I got my pieces organized and the directions out it really went a lot faster than I imagined. In all It probably only took a half hour. The pieces are all labeled and the directions are very easy to follow. The chair out together looks great. It makes my space look really legit and I'm very happy with how it all looks together. The chair is not the most comfortable but I definitely won't have any issues for the few hours I use it. It's memory foam and not a super squishy desk chair. If you are looking for a great looking casual chair I think this is a great option. If we had company over and needed extra seating I wouldn't hesitate to offer this as extra seating. If you are looking for a home office chair that you'll use for 8+ hours a day this might be a little too stiff for your needs.

    Great Chair!
    My current office chair is a flaky mess and worn out, so I was appreciative when Walmart gave me the opportunity to evaluate a chair and give an honest review. The Mainstays Bonded Leather Office Chair is really nice! At the extremely low price that Walmart is selling this for I was not expecting very good quality, but I was really surprised. It was very quick and simple to assemble the chair. Everything is clearly labeled to avoid any confusion while assembling. The screws are all packaged in their own little labeled compartments, and they even included the hex key wrench to put it together with. You can even download an app to help you with the assembling process, but I did not need to. I am impressed that the base is all sturdy metal. The chair feels like good quality also. I am a big, tall guy and this chair is very comfortable. It has a wide range of adjustment. With the chair adjusted all the way up it is almost too tall for me. You can keep the chair in a fixed position by pushing in the metal lever, or pull it out for the chair to recline. You can turn the knob on the bottom of the chair to adjust the tension of the recline. The chair came nicely packaged, and I was really impressed by how all of the parts were neatly arranged in the back of the chair. I like the smaller, mid-back design also since my old chair just seemed too big for the room. Overall, I absolutely love this comfortable office chair and highly recommend it.
