Gorilla Office: Office Computer Chair - Black reviews

This chair is much more comfortable than the “gaming” chair I had previously, the cushion is soft but is not as nice as another mesh-back office chair I also purchased from mighty ape recently. As of writing this review information like maximum user weight and recommended use time is missing from the item description but it handles 105kg like a champ and is comfortable to sit in for at least 4 hours.

The full height back and head rest are nice, although the head rest at maximum extension flexes quite a bit and for me it was required to be at maximum extension so as not not be pushing into my upper back. The seat can raise fairly high but people with short legs may require a foot rest even at its lowest height setting.

I was initially put off when I opened the box on the cheapness of the parts (in saying that it is a budget office chair). However, once I put the chair together and started using it I was pleasantly surprised. The seat requires a cushion. However, the rest of the chair is quite comfortable for long sessions in the home office. The headrest is actually useful and comfortable. Would recommend anyone looking for a cheap home office chair.

Easy to assemble and comfy chair. Arm rests can be removed if need be. Overall a good chair for a good price.

The quality of this chair fine and the seat is comfy but be aware if you're short. I'm 160cm and the seat of the chair is quite deep, at about 45cm. This means that I can't actually have my back against the backrest without the seat digging into the back of my knees. This is more of a me problem than the chair's problem so I'd still recommend it if you're after a comfy chair for a decent price.

The instructions are a little unclear rest is all good.

The chair constantly creaks and squeaks. Very noisy and feels flimsy to sit in. Unsure if assembled correctly due to it only coming with generic instructions, not instructions specific to this particular chair. Assembling it according to the instructions wasn't possible when both me and another person tried. Either way the chair is very disappointing after reading all the previous reviews.

This chair is comfy.Super easy to put together. If you have put together flat pack furniture before this will be easy. Instructions are basic but the pictures helped. Very happy with this chair.

I really loved the chair itself. It is similar to the office chair I bought of the same brand back then, It's not too small, but it's much more comfortable to sit on. Especially, with it's added headrest. It's a miracle of a chair. The assembly is incredibly easy as well. No issues at all. This order saved me a lifetime of back pain. Thank you so much!

First time chair buyer. Product has poor build quality, the parts don't fit together well, the instructions look like they're for a different product, and it feels flimsy and unstable to sit in. Can't lean back because it feels like I'll fall over.

I love this desk chair because it's easy to assemble & comfortable. The support for my lower back is exactly what I needed😍 Thanks Mighty Ape for your great service & fast delivery😊

Great chair, great purchase!!

Very comfortable, I also really like the hand rests and the head rest. Perfect when I wanna lay my head back during the day.

Pretty solid chair tbh. Compared to others being way more in price this one is awesome for our home office. The back support is moveable also! Which is nice as in photos in looked fixed.

Had enough of my “gaming chair” and wanted something that looked nicer and was more comfortable within budget. Real happy with my purchase, base is comfy enough for long sessions and the back support is fine. For $140 bucks it exceeded my expectations.

I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this chair is for how cheap it is. You can tell it is a cheap chair but its still super comfortable. The lean back function is great and makes use of the head rest. Overall really happy and would recommend for a cheap and cheerful seat.

I needed an office chair for lockdown and found this one as the best affordable option. Easy to put together, simply designed but with all the adjustments options you need for a comfortable office chair.

Good chair for the price, good clear instructions for assembly

I am only 75kg and 175cm so well under the maximum height and weights. I was sitting on the chair, gently leaning backwards while typing and the leg /wheel snapped causing the chair to fall backwards – trapping me between the chair and desk.

Was very happy with the item until one of the legs snapped and gave out. This was after normal use, and I'm 80kg so its no way a weight issue. Very unhappy, I dont recommend.

Squeaks and creaks , leaning back is not an option as feels like its going to either break or tip over

Reading the reviews, I was prepared for a complex building process, but hands down this was the simplest furniture I've ever had to assemble. Love the chair – great lumbar support, fairly decent build quality, surprising great head support.

Quality is not there :[ Broke in every way possible

Beats the snot out of gaming chairs and executive computer chairs I've had in the past. Concerns other reviews had was unfounded – super easy to assemble, there's literally a lever to control the amount of lean/tilt and the handles can be set to wider or narrower. Only things missing is control over the tilt of the back, the lumbar thing doesn't feel like it does much and arm rest height – features I assume might be in the more expensive models.

Does it feel like a cheap chair? Sure, in some ways – But it's very comfy, and not cheap-feeling in any ways that make me worry that it'll break on me. It barely creaks. It's a little unsteady if you are scooting around on it, but it's perfectly stable while using it as a chair.

I'm 63kg FYI.

Great for the home office as its inexpensive, and comfortable.

But I mean what can you expect at this price point really…

Quality is not there :[

I have had this chair for 13 months now. I use it as my office work chair. I do like it and think it is of decent quality for the price (we bought it on special), but I have an extra cushion on the seat because I was getting pain from sitting on it for the most part of 25 hours a week. I wouldn't recommend it for that much use. The pin that stops it from leaning back often pops out but this isn't too big of a deal. I wouldn't buy it again for this job but am still using it rather than upgrading for now. It doesn't seem to be showing any signs of damage and wear which is good too.

Only issue I had is me being on the heavier side (135kg) so the slot for one of the wheels got bent out of mold shape other than that great chair

For the price, its good. Relatively comfy

Arrived the next day, which was great. The assembly instructions were unclear due to very poor grammar, incorrect punctuation, & incomplete sentences. Once we managed to get the chair together I found that it's reasonably comfortable, but the head rest sits too far back to rest my head against while studying – to rest your head on the head rest, you have to lean your head back far enough that it's uncomfortable to look at the screen. The head rest can be adjusted for height, but not laterally. This is an issue for me as I have hypermobility & get tired sitting at my desk for long periods – I need a decent head rest. Overall it's a decent chair for the price, bar those two complaints.

Use for my WFH set up and is super comfortable for me to use for my 8hr shift multiple days of the week. Brought in april and its now january and one of the wheel legs has snapped off. chair is now awaiting a trip to the dump. a pity, because I really loved how comfortable it is.

Froth! White stuff! Everything about this chair is great except for the stiff seat which gives me butt pain after 30 minutes and the arm bars cannot be adjusted so I don't really use them. 3 stars for this seat. Froth.

Was okay for the price. Wished the backwards lean was a bit less in normal position. Lasted 3 years of fairly decent usage and plastic back brace behind the mess finally broke.

This chair was very comfy at first. Sometimes had a fright leaning back and the chair dipped back further though :( After purchasing a year ago, it started breaking and finally the metal gave way. I am under the max weight limit D:

The comfort level of this chair is exceptional. The mesh back is just right, providing ample support to my back and bottom, even during long hours of sitting. The ergonomic design ensures that I maintain a good posture throughout the day, reducing any discomfort or strain on my back.

This chair is so comfortable . So easy to assemble . Can take the arms off which is great . Delivery was quick .

If you are tall this chair is not for you! I'm a 6"1 maybe 6". For my height the seat is way to short no support under the thighs toward my knees. The lumbar support is adjustable but none of the settings are comfortable to me. Obviously the head rest at max height is a neck rest (no biggie, I removed it/ don't need a head rest). Heed this review if you're tall, I ignored a similar one when I bought it. Other than that the padding on the seat is not great, the mesh does NOT support the back as well as a regular foam office chair material and the lumbar support is hard plastic that digs into your back. I'd recommend shopping around and trying office chairs in a store if you're tall so you don't buy the wrong size. :D Good luck!

When this one breaks, I'm absolutely going to buy another. It's super comfy and feels really sturdy, amazing for the price.

This chair is awesome for crafts.

Instructions seem to be for a different chair as could not assemble it in the way stated in the directions, had to figure it out my self, not a bad chair tho supports me algood at 97kg

This chair is very comfortable and will help with my back

The chair is comfortable for price. The only flaw is with the construction. The L bracket which holds the seat and back rest together isn't designed well. I ended up making some small spacers to fill the gaps and take any weak points out of the overlap of parts. Other than that it works as advertised!!

Comfy, good lower back support, arms are detachable, breathable mesh back, durable and good price. Can't recommend enough!

It lasted 2 years and 3 months. Which isn't that bad, unfortunately it went downhill after the first week and the last 2 years has been a nightmare, first the webbing started ripping where its attached, I fixed that, the seat hasn't been level since week 1 and I fixed that but it keeps coming back, the lumbar plastic broke and I have to use a cushion to stop it poking me… I'm glad the metal where the seat attaches to the legs has broken, now I can get a new chair and I will invest in better quality.

I'm happy with this purchase. So far the chair works fine for me. I've had neck and back pain since working from home, so I decided to buy something decent. This chair is great for the price. Assembly was easy, and the chair so far works great. I've been using it for weeks, and the amount of pain decreased. I would recommend it as it is good quality for the price.

Its falling apart, im not even very heavy, 90kg and the leg just snapped off

The chair looks great and is easy to assemble as it comes with everything needed, it is very comfy to sit on for long periods of time. The chair comes with an adjustable back support and head rest that feels great to sit in. The only down side about this is the instructions aren't 100% accurate to the chair.

Bought a second chair for my wife after loving the first one, but found that the backrest was tilted a bit to the side. While this could be partially compensated for by asymmetrical screw tightening, you still end up with your head hitting the headrest at one end, which is not ideal.

Excellent design and super comfy. Looks a bit flimsy but holding up without any issues so far.

It’s good and comfortable chair for wfh. I had gaming chair which had max seating height 40cm. The good thing about this chair is seating height is great

I mean it's a chair, what more can I say. But it's a nice chair and it's cheap.

Chinglish instructions were not difficult to interpret. Missing the leg cover but whoever put together the screws and other pieces in the included box donated me a pair of… Gardening gloves? They look lightly used. May wash and use with hand cream tonight, possibilities are endless. Nice! Made me laugh.

Used boyfriend's help for efficiency as it was a little awkward to assemble, took maybe half an hour.

It is spinny, it tilts, support for lower back. My 6'1 boyfriend looked like he was sitting in a toddler chair but it suits me at 5'4. If it breaks like some of these other reviews I'll just return it and get a replacement so not too worried.

Happy so far! Cheers, MightyApe. Now I can code without shrimping in a dining chair. Posture and money saved! Yeehaw!

Easy to setup, really comfy and it spins. I've had an office chair for 3yrs. Due to overuse and constantly sitting on it like a couch with a missing wheel. I think it was time.

Supports all weights, has excellent ergonomic support. Great for lean back when you want to relax or think. Good neck support. Very comfortable. Easy to assemble. Box is not too big. An absolutely incredible chair for the price. It is a total bargain.

The instructions are not great, including showing a piece that doesn't appear to exist, and the wheels and/or wheel sockets are uneven, meaning some were extremely difficult to put in place. Now I've got it assembled though it's comfortable and very usable.

Doesn't offer amazing back support and the head rest is only helpful if you're leaning right back. The locking mechanism that keeps the chair from tilting doesn't work very well, sometimes it will come loose so when you lean back the chair will dip

This chair is an excellent budget option for office or gaming better than any of those so-called gaming chairs this one is just right for the price 100% recommend

Yeah its nice, the headrest is great but not a great option if you're wanting armrests

The chair is great for its price! Easy to set up.

Fair price and quality

Great for working all day on. Would be great if the headrest wasn't so far back, I feel like I have to really lean into it. Still very happy with it!

Comfy chair, good back support. The headrest is at a good height for me. Arm rest is not that long in length, but will work fine. Easy to assemble. Delivery took 2 weeks because of lockdown. Overall happy with the product!

Got this for my teenage son and it is great value for money. Having said that would not advise for anybody over 65kg as don't know how long it will last.

Love the mesh back in summer. Only flaw so far is the seat could benefit from a bit more cushion for an 8 hour day

Easy to put together and looks good. It's already creaking a bit (had it for a day), but for the price point I'm happy.

Really comfy, would definitely recommend to purchase

Headrest, mesh back, seat tilt adjustment, gas lift, arm rests and casters. The only thing it missing is adjustable back tilt (although the back is comfortable for most uses) and adjustable height for the arm rests. But for this price it is a bargain.

Easy to assemble, A little flimsy and arm rests are a bit short. Not a bad buy at $119

I'm really between a 3 and 4 stars. For the price I will not complain, this is good buy for the money spent. Would gladly recommend for someone who needs a basic office chair when working from home.

It’s worth the price. The assemble instruction was unclear.
