Review on πŸͺ‘ Allsteel Mimeo Black Onyx Task Chair by Chad Moser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprisingly comfortable

This chair is very expensive, but it justifies its value in style, durability and comfort.β€” Style: This is one of the nicest office chairs I've ever seen. It is attractive and will fit into any well-appointed modern office. It's not a high-back upholstered executive chair (which can be attractive in some situations), but a smaller, more minimalist offering that works well in my bedroom/home office. I love the light gray finish and it stands out against the vast majority of black office chairs on the market. - Durability: While time will show the ultimate test of durability, this is a heavyweight, well-built chair. Everything looks solid. The armrests deserve special attention. This is not faux leather or cheap foam that will crack after a few months/years of use. Instead, they're snug but still have just enough stretch to be comfortable. I'm not worried about them breaking down over time. I keep an eye on the back mesh as it seems to be the most fragile part of the chair, but I don't have any immediate concerns. - Comfort: This chair is far from soft but provides comfortable support. The bottom pillow, back mesh, and armrests are a bit stiff, but certainly lean toward the hard end of the spectrum. For long periods of sitting, I think that's the way to go. It's nice to sit in. The office chair I use at work (which is half the price of this ALLSTEEL model) doesn't quite compare. I'm 6ft 3in with long legs and this chair supports me well. The chair rises to a height where I can keep my knees bent 90 degrees and the seat slides out so my thighs don't extend far beyond. Other: controls work smoothly, no issues, only complaint was that it was poorly packaged, one of the legs was scratched in transit leaving an unsightly black mark, poor condition for an expensive chair.
