Office Hippo Ergonomic Office Chair Adjustable Arms, Mesh Office Chair Lumbar Support, Reclining, High Back, Blue

First time I've ever written a review on Amazon, but Office Hippo is a small business and they deserve the credit for this item.I work from home full time at the moment.I needed a new chair, something comfortable as I get back pain/strain very easily.I didn't want to spend £400+ on a item, some good chairs are £1000+I read the reviews on here FIRST before buying, once I saw the review from the person who works as an occupational therapist saying this chair was good value, I immediately clicked the buy button.For £200, you are getting a VERY Sturdy and well built chair, the headrest is useless you are lying back in the chair as all the other reviews have confirmed.But the seat is great, it even has an adjustable seat slide mechanism so you can adjust the seat cushion horizontally.Feels great on my back so far, early days, but I am shocked at how good this chair actually is. I actually could have taken one of the more expensive chairs home from my office, but i prefer THIS CHAIR to those chairs.(Disclaimer - I am short - 5"6, don't know if that makes a huge difference).Read the reviews and do your research, but do consider getting this chair, you are getting alot for the price point.Oh yeah - assembly was simple, 30 mins or so.

For £180 this is a good chair. It provides plenty of customisation options, and has served me well during lockdown. I would recommend it to anyone but there are three niggles from me.First niggle is that the headrest is only of use when reclined, it doesn't get anywhere near your neck when upright, and there is no option to extend it forward. So if you're looking for headrest support when upright this is NOT the chair for you.Second niggle is the padding used in the seat. To start with the it felt nice and plump, but after several months it's a bit flat so I'm probably going to have to buy an extra pad for my butt.Third niggle, not the best instructions, and the labelled bolts, screws, etc. were marked with different reference names than in the instructions which led to quite a bit of confusion.Other than those three things it's a decent chair for the money, as very good office chairs can easily cost double/triple this. It feels good but it is not premium.

Ordered this chair to work from home during the pandemic. Was apprehensive at first given I've got degenerate disc disorder but couldn't really afford to spend silly money on a top end chair so took a chance based on the product description and reviews.I'm a facilities manager so know a thing or two about chairs so will give an honest review.The chair I use at work is an RH logic 400 which is one of the leading ergo chairs on the market and will be my benchmark.Having used the office hippo for a week now i can honestly say it has very good ergonomic properties and functiobality to ensure a good posture. The seat pan is very comfortable and doesn't cause any pressure points or numbness during long periods of sitting.The mesh back is also very comfortable and breathable.If this wasnt good ergonomically I would know about it!!If I had to pick the bones out of this chair I'd say the arm rests only adjust in height and the headrest like most chairs only really works and supports your neck when you lay back in the chair. Which I tend to do with the back recline when taking little breaks from working.All in all would recommend at the price as a very good product.

Put together out of the box, Gas lift is not working, will have to return.

Could be a nice chair, but mine is a little wonky. I've rang the support line twice and emailed. Have been tolded that I would be phoned back - heard nothing. Real shame as it appears to be a nice item - however my exerience has been poor - wish mine wasnt wonky!!

Quick to assemble and comfortable chair for my home office. It's adjustable so I could set it up perfectly for working from home

Bought for my home office for lockdown as my previous, much cheaper, chair’s height adjustment mechanism had broken. I already knew it was a good chair as it’s the same model we use at work.Fully adjustable in terms of height, tilt of back (which can either be locked in place or left free to allow for leaning back), lumbar support and seat position.It came with all necessary bolts (plus spares) and hex key for assembly. Assembly took approximately 45 minutes as a one person job and would probably take less time with an additional person to hold parts in position while screwing the bolts in. The only problem I had with assembly is that the hex driver provided is the “corkscrew” type. That’s fine for most of the bolts but can’t be used to screw in the bolts to attach the right hand arm rest to the seat as the adjustment levers block it. An L-shaped hex key is required there. I had one so it wasn’t an issue for me but is something to be aware of.

The chair spells luxury from the moment I unwrap, assemble, until I use it.It looks and feel nice compared to the previous chair that I bought.Thoughtful Assembly Instruction is provided and they even provided extra bolts for every section.In short, great quality item.
