LexMod Edge Office Chair with Mesh Back and Black Leatherette Seat

Overall I'm very pleased with this chair. It's just what I expected and seems to be of good quality for the price. I'm a PhD student and I spend about ten hours a day in my chair, reading and writing and doing other work at my desk. This chair has improved my comfort level immensely. I have already rolled away my old faux-leather executive chair because it doesn't hold a candle to this one in comfort or features. Below I've summarized the high points and low points of this chair to help you determine if it's right for you.

The Good:

* It seems to be pretty good quality. The parts are all plastic but they're heavy-duty with a minimal number of working parts.

* It has great lumbar support. This is essential for me. A lot of so-called "ergonomic" chairs put all the emphasis on the chair's recline tension or seat cushion and leave a lot to be desire where lumbar support is concerned. This one (at least for me) has just the right amount of lumbar... Read more

I am writing this from this chair right now. It is true that there are only 8 bolts involved in assembling this chair, but due to the heavy weight of the chair's parts, I would rate it as a moderately involved task to assemble. Ideally have another person help you. It's not that it's hard--it just requires lining up heavy (duty) parts and threading bolts into the holes that match up, which is simply easier handled by two people. If you're like me and bought this chair because you have a bad back, you don't want to further strain it by tackling this project alone. Aside from that (which is not meant as a negative as much as an FIY), the chair is very well constructed, good looking, and very comfortable. It adjusts in two ways (up and down with one lever, and forward / backward tilt "lock" with another). The materials used are high quality. The ergonomics of the chair are great, and the mesh back conforms to your back and provides adequate lumbar support (due to its curved shape). The... Read more

The moment I sat in the Focus chair, I immediately said "Ahhhhhhh" - and again every time after that - the entire evening after I put it together. I rarely feel that kind of comfort in an office chair, even though I am used to sitting in very expensive commercial office chairs at work. This is definitely a great value for an office chair. Not only is it sturdy, good looking and well-constructed, it is extremely functional, versatile and amazingly comfortable. Kudos to Lexington Modern for delivering such a great chair at an affordable price!

I ordered the Focus office chair with the leatherette seat because I loved the arms that flip completely up and out of the way and because the curve of the back seemed as if it would provide more support. I AM NOT DISSAPPOINTED! I absolutely love this Focus chair - waaaaay more than another ergonomic chair that I had previously ordered and that cost $100 more! The Focus chair is very good looking, very comfortable, has excellent... Read more
