My son needed a new computer chair, and he found a nice one on Amazon. It's heavy and sturdy, with about half an hour of assembly required. It looks nice, and it's comfortable.

A Duncan chair would be more serviceable......

Some how I don't like the base made out of bent tubes. I prefer a cast base.

I hope you don't mean a Dunking Chair. $5,400 for a Duncan desk chair was just a tad beyond his chair budget.

Only 33 reviews total doesn’t tell me much. I like items reviewed by hundreds or thousands of users.

My 2¢

Hope it holds up. I tend to find chairs from Staples, Target, Amazon, etc. end up with ripped vinyl or stripped bolts within a few years. We went to a used office furniture store and bought something commercial that's not as flashy as a Staples Gaming Chair but that's still comfortable and sturdy after 8 years.

I bought my current chairs at Staples, and they held up reasonably well. One is shot, and the other is on its way out. Considering the price, this Amazon chairs seems good. All the bolts were packaged separately and labeled. It came with a good Allen wrench with a large plastic handle.

I think right now used office furniture would have a lot of good deal on chairs. Many companies are selling their expensive chairs because their workers are working at home.

That's what we found. Most offices swap out their chairs well before they're even slightly worn looking so you're buying an almost new piece of furniture. Good deals, too.

I've bought desks and chairs from businesses - good stuff at good prices. I also got a nice four-drawer filing cabinet. Remember them? That's how people stored documents before they had computers.

First thing to go on that chair will be the tiny feet rollers, which look pretty flimsy. Check out the Herman Miller Classic Aeron chair (on Amazon) which I’ve owned for more than 20 years. I first sat in one in the 90’s in a conference room in Bank of America and was hooked. It’s been a godsend for my back. Look at the rollers on its feet compared to the other one.
Yes, it’s more expensive, but it’ll last forever.

That what I said about used office furniture. The company that my wife worked for just purchased all brand new Herman Miller Areon chairs and then Covid hit. Everyone works at home and now they dump them nice chairs.
