Laura Davidson FurnitureSOHO II Padded Management Office Chair - Mid Back Desk Chair with Arm Rest, Swivel & Cushion Availability, Made of Faux Leather, Black, Computer Chair

VERY Comfortable. Love the color

I have been looking for a nicer office chair for some time. I had looked at the big box office supply stores (and other places as well), and was not able to find a chair that was both comfortable and well built. I was also unwilling to spend $3k on a Herman Miller office chair. Enter the SOHO Mid Century Modern Soft Pad Management chair. A virtual replica of the Eames Soft Pad chair at almost 1/10 the price? This HAD to be too good to be true. The quality and comfort can’t be there, right? WRONG. This chair is VERY well built. No wobbles, no odd noises, no bad smell or off-gassing. The design is true to the Eames chair (except for the tension for the recline, which I think is better on the SOHO). The seating surface is suspended between two solid frame rails; even if the padding breaks down over time you won’t find yourself sitting on hard plastic, but rather suspended on a hammock of sturdy cloth that still gives and supports.The chair came very well packaged, and was easy to assemble. Out of curiosity, I called the technical support line to see if the arms were required for structural integrity; according to the customer representative I spoke with, they aren’t. I installed them anyway, but good to know it is optional. Speaking of their support staff - I actually reached a HUMAN BEING; no menus or IVRs. Literally called a number and got a person. The support staff is super nice as well.Overall I have zero regrets purchasing this chair. It is better than any office chairs in the box stores that I sat in that were the same price point, and the comfort and style is on-par with the Eames chair that it payed homage to.One note - comfort is a very personal and subjective matter; this chair may not work for everyone (much like any other chair). For me, I decided it was worth trying out sight unseen (or un-sat) - I do NOT regret it whatsoever. Thanks to the folks at Laura Davidson furniture for a great product at a good price!

i purchased this chair on 2/24/22 to begin working from home. I knew I would be using this chair for 8 hours a day so didn't want to buy a cheap $100 chair. at $359.99, I think this is a reasonably priced chair.assembly was quite easy. the fit and finish is much better than lower priced desk chairs I've seen and used.i did experience upper back pain during the first week and had second thoughts about the type of chair I chose. but, I found that the adjustable spring feature for the reclining back was set too loose. this was allowing the seat to tilt back when I was sitting upright typing on my PC thereby not fully supporting my back. when I adjusted the spring tension to be stiffer (a simple twist of the knob allows you to do this), I no longer experience this upper back pain/discomfort. so, be sure to play with that adjustment should you experience the same thing. I have had lower back issues in the past and this chair didn't aggravate it at all. I chose the low-back version more for the aesthetic since I didn't want a big bulky gaming-type chair overwhelming the room it's in. the type of chair you choose is really up to you but I can recommend this style and this brand chair as a worthy value.edit: FWIW, I am 5'9", 175lbs

Great product

I searched for a chair that would match my stylistic sensibility, while having a solid build. I think I've found it.Shipment and assembly: The package was shipped with excellent protection of the various parts. I was confident that there would be no scratches or dents based on how they covered and protected everything. All tools required for assembly are included and the process is a breeze. The only thing they seemed to skimp on was the quality of the connecting pieces for the armrests to the rest of the chair... they are essentially plastic, spray painted to look like chrome.Build quality: I was pleasantly surprised at how heavy and sturdy the build is on the chair. The chair rolls smoothly and with gravitas along my hardwood floors. It's very even and does not make any squeaking noises. The arms are a bit lower as expressed by the other reviews, but I actually like it a bit low so that even with the arms assembled, it can be tucked away underneath my desk.Style and functionality: I think this is a beautiful chair. I am so pleased everytime I look at it. The leather is nice and the color is perfect. It gives you the look of the eames style, without the exorbitant cost. But it doesn't feel like a cheaply made knock-off either. There are three settings... one that gives you the ability to rock back and forth (with locking capability), a dial that reduces how easily you can rock, and the basic seat height adjuster.I've been using it for about a week now and still really love it. If anything goes wrong... or continues to go right, I will update my review.
