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

Great product

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

My small business was in need of upgrading from hand-me-down and big box retail chairs and while searching the inter-webs I stumbled upon this gem. I was skeptical because generally speaking stylish chairs aren't comfortable and comfortable chairs aren't stylish. I thought I'd take a gamble and order one chair to test out myself and the rest of the staff before I committed to a large order. Turns out, I didn't need to test it.The chair arrived much sooner than expected. The company's email states it could be up to a week before I received it, however it was delivered in 3 business days. (score!) Additionally, it was packaged well but not over packaged. It was super simple to put together (3 pieces) and required no tools. Don't let assembly be a hurtle for you if your looking to purchase. From the time I opened the box to it being ready to sit in was less than 2 minutes. (no crazy IKEA assembly line !!)Finally, the quality of the chair surpassed my original expectations by a long shot. The components feel like a $500+ chair from a boutique store. The locking/unlocking mechanism is smooth and crisp. The lift and lowering mechanism is smooth and doesn't start or stop suddenly (like it does with cheap chairs). The leather material firm and sleek (added bonus, doesn't show finger prints)I don't normally write reviews, but had to pay this one forward. Excellent purchase. If you are apart of a growing business and have a need for quality and stylish chairs, Laura Davidson should be on your short list. Bang! you've found it!
