Great For Occasional Home Office Use, Not For Full Timers… I don't see many reviews regarding using this chair as a full time work chair. It is probably because most companies provide decent seating for their employees, however just in case there is another that believes buying the cheapest chair possible for someone that sits in it full time I wanted to be sure that this review was there for them. Invest some money in your employees chairs, they will be much more willing to work for you. This chair is not meant for someone who spends a significant amount of time in it. It has been a week and both armrests broke. The chair has leaned to one side sine I got it and the seat back has never been able to be locked into an upright position. This is a great chair for doing bills once a month (which given the price is obvious), however full time use doesn't seem to be its intent.
Chair arm broke after a week. You pay for what you get with AmazonBasics Got this chair for my new apartment, and it was great for one week until the arm broke. I'm not a big person, 5'8″/130, so I was surprised when the arm just snapped when I pushed on it getting up out of the seat. I read the other comments about the padding and height, but since I'm on the lighter side I figured I could make it work. The back is short, and the padding is a bit thin, but both are relatively good at this price point. If not for this defect it would be a solid chair at a reasonable price. I don't seem to be the only one with the arm-break issue, just be aware of the realities of cheaper products.
