Two Best Budget Office Chairs for your Home

When it comes to cheap but good quality office chairs, it’s a landmine out there. Yes you can find many office chairs under $100 on Amazon, but most will probably break within the first few weeks, leaving you with nothing but a deadweight to deal with.

In this article we’ll compare two of the the highest rated sub $100 office chairs on Amazon to see which one you should get based on features and customer support.

OFM Essentials Leather Executive

The OFM Essentials Leather Executive is a great choice if you want luxury and comfort as it has a well cushioned back. At less than $60, is it to good to be true?

Buyers appear to be in love with the product. One user particularly praised the construction calling it highly durable and solid. He also praised the comfort the chair offers thanks to the soft cushion that provides good relief to the back.

The chair is quite reliable and has some amazing features including:

Specs: 250 Pounds weight capacity. 19.25” width x 17.50” depth seat dimensions.

The weight capacity is quite good and the chair is quite luxurious as there’s enough space to accommodate all kinds of people. You will never feel cramped in it.

Adjustable Height and Tilt: The height can be adjusted between 17.50” – 21.25”. This makes the chair suitable for all kinds of people, including tall and short individuals who want to work on a desk or just sit and relax.

You can also use the tilt tension control feature to tilt it up to 20 degrees to give your back some rest and set a position that’s comfortable for you. It’s not a steep angle, however.

Black Leather and Reliable Wheels: The chair is made of high quality bonded leather that gives it a sleek look. Very few products in this price range use such high-quality leather. Moreover, the wheels come with casters to prevent marks on the floor.

Warranty: 3 years limited warranty.

Best Office Ergonomic PU Leather

The BestOffice Ergonomic Leather Chair is very similar to the OFM chair in many ways. It is slightly more expensive, but does that translate into even higher quality and specs?

One reassuring point of the BestOffice Chair is its BIFIMA certification, which means it has passed stringent tests for quality, comfort, and safety. Users are generally very satisfied with the chair, with one owner saying it is very comfortable even after using it for more than 8 hours a day. It also has the distinction of being awarded one of best office chairs under $100 by Ergonomic Trends.

Specs: 250 Pounds weight capacity. 20″ width  x 20″ depth seat dimensions.

The weight capacity is identical to the OFM chair, though it is wider. This makes it a better chair for bigger people, though do note the maximum weight capacity.

Adjustable Height and Tilt: The height can be adjusted between 19″-23″. That’s considerably higher than the OFM’s height range. If your desk is taller than normal, than the BestOffice Chair is the better choice.

The tilt angle of the BestOffice Chair is around 10 degrees back. This is very limited, and worse than the 20 degrees found in the OFM Chair. Both chairs were not built for relaxing in, as you can see from the low degree range.

PU Leather and Padded Armrests: The PU leather found on BestOffice chair is soft and luxurious to the touch. The texture is softer than that found on the OFM, though both feel high quality.

I really like the curved armrests on this chair. It’s cushioned unlike the OFM Chair, and designed to contour to better support your arms.

Warranty: 6 months limited warranty

Verdict

So now that we’ve compared both chairs, which one should you get? The fact is, for less than $100, both chairs are a steal relative to their value. However, our vote goes to the BestOffice chair due to the thicker cushions, softer PU leather, and wider seat that will fit more people more comfortably.
