20 Best Chair For Teenager (2022 Updated)

During Coronavirus WFH, my home “office” dining chair was killing by rear end. I tried padding and pillows but it was so uncomfortable. This chair is such an improvement! It’s nicely padded and super cute.

I have work spread out over a large work table and I love that this chair rolls. (I bought a chair pad, too, for the hardwood floor. ) I like the armless feature because I can roll it very close to the table.

Some folks complain this has no back-tilt adjustment. I usually sit forward on the front edge of my seat, so that’s not a problem for me. A few times I forced myself to sit all the way back during long conference calls.

I added a pillow behind my back and the lumbar support was great. The back does have a bit of springy “give. ” I’m 5’5”. The seat might be too short for tall folks who sit back in their chairs. But for me, this chair is such a stylish improvement to the comfort level of my work environment.

I love it.

This chair is perfect for a small work space however it is sturdy enough for adult use. It is convenient to use and to push under a desk or table without interruption to walking space or other pathways.

I use this chair in multiple functions and have been pleased with its style, function and color. It was very simple to assemble and I am NOT very handy at all. One of my screws keeps falling out but I think thats user error.

This was a great purchase and I would highly recommend it if you are comfortable with an armless chair. I thought that might be difficult to get used to but I didnt want chair arms in the way. This was a perfect choice for me.

I an 5 feet 7 inches tall if you are much taller or over 250 just an estimate, I would probably look for something a little larger to fit comfortably.

Comfortable chair, could have more padding but you get what you pay for and since this is a cheaper priced chair I can’t really expect more than what it has. It comes with instructions and screws for arms, but the chair purchased doesn’t have arms so there are extra screws left over.

My biggest complaint (and my only real one) is that the instructions leave you with a lot of uncertainty and you basically have to go by faith that the chair isn’t going to fall apart. The instructions have pictures, but no words, so you’re left hoping you interpreted the sketch drawing correctly.

The base of the chair (where the wheels connect), the “stand” that raises up and down, and the underside of the seat do not attach to each other, things just kind of slide into place, but there’s no true bond to hold them together, so it was a little sketchy sitting on it for the first time.

Surprisingly it feels pretty stable for having pieces that aren’t screwed in.

Office chairs are squarely in that “get what you pay for” category of tools and equipment. Don’t skimp on them! If you need a chair for a full timepiece home office, don’t settle for a $99 box-store “bargain.

” Set aside a bigger slice of your budget pie for a good chair. The Pursuit is a good chair and after a month of use I think it is worth its price tag. Pros: * Shipping package is sturdy and manageable * Assembly is simple and very fast * Seat cushioning is good * Components feel sturdy, quality materials Con: * Gear-tooth adjustment mechanism is a bit hard to figure out; seat back is too hard to move and headrest moves too easily This is a good, solid midrange office chair.

For most people the size and adjustability will fit them very well. Very small or very large people will run into the limits of the adjustment ranges, although that is not a quality problem – infinitely adjustable chairs become infinitely costly! At 77” in height I am approaching the outside edge of how far the seat back and headrest can be moved.

The headrest of the Pursuit unlocks easily enough that I sometimes move it inadvertently, but the chair back is quite difficult to adjust, even though they use the same mechanism. That’s really my only complaint about the chair after a month of use.

One nice-to-have option would be the ability to order inline-skate style hard floor casters with the chair. The included casters are pretty good, but the hard plastic will eventually mark hardwood floors so I will replace them.

I purchased this chair as my 7 year old, run of the mill chair was starting to break down. I will split this review into two parts for the chair and the customer service. Chair: Overall, the chair is built very well and I love that it comes with an aluminum base.

Setting it up took all of 5 minutes and all the adjustments worked perfectly. The seat, hand rest and headrest were very comfortable. The hand rests do not come with the typical foam padding, but do not cause any discomfort.

The lumbar support was a little too aggressive for me, even on it’s lowest setting, and I found that the chair started hurting my back after extended use. For that, I’d give the chair a 4/5. Customer Service: I had to reach out to customer service twice.

The first time was when I received the chair – I noticed it had some scuff marks and such and the CS representative easily and quickly offered to rectify it with an exchange or partial refund. I chose not to go ahead with either at the time as I was still trying out the chair.

The second time I reached out was when trying to return the chair. I was having difficulties packing the chait and was stressing about it for multiple days. The CS representative I worked with could not have been better – she calmly documented my concerns, swiftly worked with internal teams and brought my issue to a resolution within 24 hours.

I cannot thank the teams enough and truly appreciated their support. For the way both instances were handled, I’m giving Customer Service an easy 10/5. Overall, great company, with good products for the price and, outstanding Customer Service!.

like many others, working from home has been brutal on my shoulders and lower back. after looking into tons of ergonomic chair brands, i decided on this chair and i’m so happy i did! this chair makes the long hours of sitting at my desk MUCH more bearable, and i think it’s a great value compared to other ergonomic chairs on the market.

in particular i love the seat, especially compared to my previous chair which ended up getting dented from sitting in it for so long LOL. this has the perfect balance for me of being both cushioned and supportive.

i also love how wide the seat is so that i can comfortably sit cross legged, while still having my head and back supported well. the only thing i don’t love is that the arm rests aren’t cushioned, as i have a (bad) habit of leaning heavily into one side, but maybe that’s an intentional design to prevent that.

i would also recommend having two people assemble this. i did it on my own and while it was doable, it was a little challenging to lift the heavy chair and try to place it into the base without being able to see where i needed to put it.

other than that, assembly was pretty easy. but overall, love this chair!!.

Necessary for a basketball lover! My son loves basketball and needed a desk and chair to work at for his days he was working at home. He says it’s comfortable so no complaining!

Purchased this for my 8 year old son’s room. He loved it! Was a great addition to his sports themed room. Assembly was fairly easy and chair quality was great for price paid. Arrived when expected. No issues.

May order the football version for my nephew.

This chair is great! The quality is good and my daughter loves it. Unfortunately I thought it was for kids and it Is not. My daughter is 8 and is too light to adjust the height. Other than that, it is a great chair.

I bought this chair roughly a month ago for my desk, I am a dental student and use it every day for studying. Positives: Assembly wasn’t a problem, pretty easy overall. The seat cushion is acceptable, obviously not luxury leather seat comfy but not bad.

The folding armrests are nice and helpful, especially for pushing into the desk when you’re not using it, and the cushioning on them is the same as the seat so not bad. The lift and lower hydrolics of the chair are good and stable.

Negatives: The seat back is a little far back for my taste and the lumbar support you see is counterproductive when the stiff mesh (which is also not that comfortable) prevents your back from getting anywhere near the support part.

My biggest gripe with this chair is the reclining. Even with the knob turned to the highest reclining ability, the chair barely reclines at all. More agitatedly, the reclining requires a bit of force (and maintaining that force) to make it recline the 1cm it does.

The good thing is the chair has a lot of adjustments – tilt, back angle and height and super easy to put together. The not so good – I wish the back was padded instead of mesh. When I lean back I can feel the top of the frame digging into my back.

The seat bottom is firm and has a premade butt print in it which seemed comfortable at first but after sitting a few hours my butt began to hurt. Also, the fabric on the chair is slippery and can feel myself slipping off.

It would be great if they had a “leather” option for this chair. I’m still on the fence about keeping this chair or finding something else. It’s really difficult finding a comfy chair when you can’t sit in it before buying.

I bought this chair a few weeks ago and the setup was a little more involved but if you have put together furniture before you should be fine. Having a second pair of hands helps though. The fact that the armrests fold up out of the way is why I got this and it is awesome.

The seat is wide, although I have a narrow waist, and the seat cushion is comfortable. I wouldnt recommend sitting all day in this chair but is great for several hours. It has a mesh back which is comfortable.

The build quality is good. I would recommend this primarily if you’re looking for a comfortable home office chair that has fold up armrests.

Love my new Duhome velvet modern home office desk chair. Beautiful velvet gray color. The chair is easy to assemble. Was able to assemble in less then five minutes. It is very comfortable. The chair is good for children and adults.

I would definitely recommend this Duhome velvet modern home office desk chair.

Style looks nice, but the seating part lacks more cushion. It’s pricey for not having the seating comfort. Would not recommend for someone working from home and seating for long periods of time.

Great piece of furniture. Fits my space perfectly and is very attractive and comfortable.

I purchased the Vari Task Chair with the headrest about 6 months ago and I’m extremely happy with the product (enough so that I decided to write this review). I did a lot of research and testing and I don’t think there’s a better chair in this price range.

After weeding out many lesser chairs, I compared this chair primarily to the Branch Ergonomic Chair, the IKEA Markus, and several models of Steelcase Chairs and Herman Miller Chairs. This chair easily outperforms the Branch Office Chair and the IKEA Markus Chair and is in a similar price range.

While there are some aspects of Steelcase and Herman Miller chairs that I preferred (such as the ability to customize color and material), none of these come close to being worth the extra money. Steelcase and Herman Miller chairs start at a minimum of $700, and that $700 will only get you their most basic offerings.

If you’re looking for a Steelcase or Herman Miller chair that includes all of the features and adjustability that this chair does, then you’re looking at $1,200 or more. The value that you get with this Vari is unrivaled.

PROS: This chair is comfortable, ergonomic, and has all the moving parts required to fit most body types. It spins, rolls, and moves up and down. The depth of the seat can be adjusted forward and back.

The armrests move up and down, back and forth, and can also be angled inward or out. The tension of the back can be adjusted or LOCKED INTO ANY POSITION. I highlighted this because it was something I was concerned about and was hard for me to confirm before purchasing.

Some chairs only lock into an upright position or all the way leaned back, but this chair can be leaned back to any angle and locked there. I also purchased the headrest, which is very comfortable and adjustable.

Importantly, the chairback leans independently from the seat. Cheaper chairs will tilt the seat along with the chairback when you try to lean back, which is uncomfortable for your lower back and puts pressure on your feet to keep the chair tilted back.

The back of this chair leans back independently so the seat remains level to the floor while you lean back. This is far more comfortable and better for your back. The chair is made of high-quality fabric and mesh that is breathable and won’t tear.

The foam seat is firm but comfortable. I work from home and I have absolutely no problems sitting in this chair for 8-12 hours per day. I find it equally adept for working at my desk as well as leaning back and gaming comfortably.

The chair does not squeak and is very sturdy – I do not feel that it is at risk of breaking, even when I put my full weight on the armrests. The center of gravity and weight of the chair makes it feel solid.

There is no risk of falling backward even when leaning all the way back. I am also extremely happy with the customer experience. The chair shipped quickly and was extremely simple to assemble. The refund policy is fair, though since I have no desire to return this chair, I have not actually gone through the refund process.

NEUTRAL: The chair is on the larger side and is rather heavy. I have a relatively small frame (I’m 5’9″ and average weight), but it is adjustable enough that I don’t feel like I’m sinking into it. In fact, since it is slightly larger, I can comfortably sit in it in a variety of positions.

If you are a little shorter than 5’9″ then this chair will likely work well. If you are significantly shorter than 5’9″ then this chair may be too large, however. If you are significantly larger than 5’9″ then this chair should still be large enough to sit in comfortably.

While I, personally, like the look, I wouldn’t describe it as sleek. The mesh and plastic of the chairback look modern at best, but a little awkward at worst. If your office is full of dark wood, for example, then this chair will stick out.

The back is large and the chair is available only in black and grey, so the chair isn’t going to blend into the background. I don’t think this chair is unattractive, but it won’t feel natural in every office environment.

CONS: I have only two, minor cons. First, the lumbar support on this chair is not adjustable. The lumbar support is extremely good, but it would be nice if it could be adjusted up, down, in, and out.

Next, the armrests. The armrests are not bad. They are adjustable, sturdy, and made of good materials, which means they aren’t at risk of bending or breaking. However, they are a bit hard and they can’t be moved far enough back.

Since the material on the armrests is (I believe) hard foam covered in soft plastic, they don’t have a lot of give. Since I type at my desk most of the day, my elbows spend most of the day supported by the armrests.

After several hours my elbows often feel sore. Making the armrests significantly softer or giving them more cushion would make for a better experience if you are using them for several hours at a time.

They are soft enough that they won’t feel uncomfortable right away, but after a full day of sitting at my desk and typing my elbows do hurt a little. The armrests also can’t be pushed back very far. This isn’t a problem when sitting upright, but it can be an issue when leaning all the way back.

At the end of the day, I often lean all the way back and play games. When leaning all the way back, the armrests do not go back far enough for me to rest my elbows on them while holding a controller in my lap.

Even if I am just leaning back for a short time during the workday to stretch my back, it would be nice if the armrests leaned back with me. Keeping your arms supported while leaning back keeps pressure off your shoulders.

This is the only area of functionality where Steelcase and Herman Miller chairs rise above the rest of the competition. Steelcase and Herman Miller chairs have the armrests connected to the back of the chair, so when you lean back the armrests lean back with you.

This means you can lean back and keep your elbows supported without repositioning yourself. The armrests on the Vari Task Chair are connected to the seat, so if you lean back in this chair then your arms are farther away from the armrests.

The armrests don’t move back far enough to keep your arms supported when leaned back all the way. While aesthetic options such as more colors or materials would be nice to have, the only functional changes I would make to this chair would be to make the lumbar support adjustable and to connect the armrests to the chairback and make them softer.

However, these issues are both minor, and it is absolutely not worth spending an extra $300 – $1,000 to purchase a Steelcase or Herman Miller chair for this feature alone. I don’t really know why I spent so much time on this review other than being extremely happy with this chair.

My old chair made me sore all over and I never really appreciated how much time I spent sitting in it. Assuming this chair holds up for many years (and so far it seems like it will), I will spend thousands of hours in it.

The day-to-day value I get from this chair is insane – I am simply less sore across my whole body all day. It is leagues better than the IKEA Markus and well worth the additional money. It is better than the Branch Ergonomic Chair.

It is so very close in quality, comfort, and features to the highest-end brands that it seems absurd that someone would pay upwards of $1,200 for one of them when this chair can be purchased for less than half of that.

A quality chair is an investment since you spend so much time in it, and some of them can be absurdly expensive. I spent way too many hours researching chairs before I purchased the Vari Task Chair, so I’m hoping this review is helpful to someone else who is looking for a great chair but doesn’t have an unlimited budget.

I would absolutely recommend the Vari Task Chair.

This chair is so comfortable! The lumbar support is extraordinary. It’s well-made, attractive, and makes sitting at my computer so much more pleasant. It was a snap to put together, even for someone not mechanically-minded.

(I read directions well, though. ) One suggestion: since people have trouble knowing to remove the cap, even with the instructions, show an illustration of the cap so we know what we’re looking for. It’s easy to miss, being the same color as everything else.

I also wish the armrests could angle in more than they do. Other than that, this is an solid win, and at a decent price.

The chair is great! I needed an ergo chair for my wfh setup since the chair I previously had wasn’t very ergonomic. After days of researching for a mid-range chair, I decided to go with Vari as I really like the desk I had previously purchased and trusted the company.

The chair is super comfortable even when sitting for long hours while working. The delivery was quick, and installation was super easy! It may not be a Herman-Miller, but I think this chair is priced at a good value.

Only issue is that I wish it was able to go an inch or so lower, as I am a short guy (5’6″) and have to use the standing mat as a foot support when sitting.

This chair looks nice but is very uncomfortable. It feels very flimsy, has limited functionality (max height is not high enough and there’s no other adjustments that can be made other than to lift the arms).

It feels very cheap. I tried to initiate a return shortly after the chair arrived but was told I’d need to return it within 15 days and pay for the shipping myself. Had I known this were the policy, I never would have purchased it.

In the end, I kept the chair (but am not using it because I find it is so uncomfortable), since the expense of returning it is too much. The seller is responsive and friendly, however I couldn’t recommend this chair.

It is very disappointing.

I question how safe these are. They are made of a hard plastic with a deep wobble. I sat on one, and it’s impossible to not wobble. I worry about kids tilting the chair and slipping on the edge. You apply a thin rubber stick-on circle to the bottom for grip – it doesn’t look durable.

Others have said that kids can spin on these chairs. When I called to return them, I was informed that I need to pay for return shipping – in this case $30. 00. Just so you know!.

I love that this stool gives wiggle space for my students who really need it. My students are able to focus better, get out extra energy, and be actively engaged in lessons, all on this fun wobble stool.

I only wish they were less expensive so I could have one for all my students instead of just a few. #sweepstakes.

These are absolute junk. They feel like old milk cartons. Hollow and not good quality. Luckily, I also bought the ECR brand adjustable ones for only $20 more and was able to see a substantial quality difference.

I would potentially buy one of these for $20. So if you find it for that, go for it, but $60! Definitely no. Also, the 5 minute my kids sat on them, they scratched my wood floors. Just FYI, they would need a rug or something under them to prevent them from doing damage to wood.

I purchased this chair for my 10 year old. She absolutely loves it. It’s the perfect size for her and she loves the blush color. Arrived quick and as described.

Excellent chair for teen. Light weight easy to adjust. For the price I would buy again.

My daughter pick this out. It serves its purpose for online school at her desk. The color is pretty, a pale pink.

Cons: The back support doesn’t go up as high as I want it to. The arms have different max heights. It could be a little cushier to sit on and have cushy arm pads. I accidentally twist the arms a lot and I don’t know how to lock them.

Pros: The chair goes up higher than most chairs which is great for making the desk lower which is better for carpal tunnel. Also I can kick my feet around a lot with a higher chair. The chair rolls around and swivels easily.

I like the fabrics used to make the chair. The arm support is wide enough that someone who wiggles around isn’t constantly having their arms go off. Overall this is a nice chair. I have the FlexiSpot height adjustable desk and pedal desk.

I would say that the adjustable desk and pedal desk are better quality than this chair, though the FlexiSpot sticker fell off of one side of the bike right away. But the chair is still at least on par with things you would find at Staples.

I’ve had lower back pain on and off for decades. But now, with my new FlexiSpot OC10G Ergonomic Office Chair, I can comfortably (pain free) remain seated while flight-sim’ing my airplanes and gliders (utilizing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020) without being distracted by lower back pain.

This is a fantastic chair. I would highly recommend. Five Stars.

I was doubtful that the very inexpensive, on line only, little orange desk chair could be very nice. But because the lines were sleek and the color -in the picture- seem good I gave it a try. Boy, was I impressed! It came in compact little box, each part inside nicely wrapped.

I was almost afraid to see the directions, expecting mysterious English without any verbs, but was surprised to find extremely clear diagrams, concise and perfect instructions. The parts felt solid, well-milled, heavy in a way that gave confidence.

I put it together in short order with just a flathead screw driver. Best of all, the chair is indeed very sleek and the orange color just what i wished for. If I have a negative to report it would be that the seat is not cushy –which I prefer any way– but some bottoms might be disappointed.

The other thing to note is that the shipping wasn’t fast. I’m used to being told something will come in 5 to 7 days and then arrive in 4. This took the full time but was worth it.

I bought this because I needed a crafting chair. The one I had was just too big. this is just the right size. the hydraulic does not work well. As I type this I am slipping down to the floor. this is not going to work.

it is also non-returnable. Oh! And if you have a back problem. forget this chair.

I have very little space for my desk in my new home now that I’m retired and my old desk chair was way too big. I was making do with a small stationary chair but it was very cumbersome and limiting. My new chair is the perfect size and its features allow me to do everything I want it to do – swivel, roll, raise and lower.

And assembly was easy. I love it!.

I brought this chair because I needed a chair for work. I sit on the chair for 4-5 hours for work. When I received it, the parts will wrapped carefully, however, there was a small bag that had all of the variety of screws/ screw caps falling out.

(Make sure you open the box carefully in a clean and spacious area so that you can set aside the chair pieces and locate the screws. ) The paper instructions included were only pictures that labeled the parts by number and with that the instructions were in the form of pictures showing you what labeled parts were needed for each step.

The various screws are not labeled or in its individual labeled bags, so I think the seller should consider putting the different parts in their own individual bags, so others know which part is which number.

Overall, the instructions were straightforward if you are able to understand picture like instructions. The chair feels great after setting it up. Also, the chair arrived just as pictured. I chose the burgundy color!.

Once put together, the chair was smaller than it looks in the picture. For the price, it is a good buy. The back is comfortable, as I was looking for a chair with a mesh back without the lumbar support.

Those are hard to find. The seat pad is not terribly thick and is firm (not soft but this is what I was wanting. Arm rests are not adjustable, which is not a problem for me, but just an FYI for a potential buyer.

This chair was perfect for my space and fits well under my desk. It took two of us to put it together, but once done, it was easy to make fit to my 5’3 height. It raises up and down, so my feet can be firmly on the floor and my is back supported.

The color to compliments my office. Its really hard to find a black and white rolling chair. Glad I found this one.

It had scratch marks all over it, about 1-3 inches long that looked as it they would split open if you used the chair. I sat on it and slid right off. Seat and back are the hardest I have ever experienced.

I was so excited to get this chair but it was worst ever.

This chair is so fun. At first I was a little disappointed because I thought it was a clear or white iridescent but it is actually silver. My daughter still loved it of course and it is perfect for her room!.

Chair is very pretty. Easy to assemble. But it has a horrible smell. I’m guessing it the type of material the seat is?!

Very nice. Better than I thought. Sturdy. Easy assembly.

Its not as white as the picture. But its still looks decent in my living room

It looks like it’s well made. I like the design. I’ve been pleased with other purchases.

Impulse buying. Liked the pattern and color of the chair.

I need a desk chair and I like your products. I am disappointed in that the page I started on said free shipping and then it wouldn’t honor that at closing. This has happened to me with your site more than once.

Thank you.

A very good quality task chair without arms. Quick, easy, straight forward assembly using supplied tool. Many reviewers said the wheels fall off? All I can say, they must not have inserted them fully.

There is a snap ring around the shaft of the wheels that inserts into the chair base. The wheels may be a bit difficult for some to insert fully, but once fully inserted the snap ring securely attaches the wheels to the base, they can not fall out! The chair rolls smoothly on a hard surface (laminate flooring), easy adjustable height, comfortable seat and quality mesh back.

Chair does not tilt, but this is a task chair, for doing crafts, sewing, etc. Highly recommend!.

The quality and comfort of this chair is great for the price. It rolls easy, the seat is fairly comfortable and the backrest is nicely molded. Easy to sit for a few hours and get some work done. I needed something quick and cheap for my art studio, and this has far exceeded my expectations.

Not sure why people claim the wheels fall out? They snapped in perfectly for me. Perhaps it was user error for the other reviews?.

It’s a nice chair. It’s slim and fits well in my small studio. With that being said the wheels are such a pain. It needs to be more explicit in the directions that you need to push them in and I mean push.

I even got a mallet out for some of the wheels that were to hard to just push in. I also add a little bit of glue for good measure. I ended up reading a whole bunch of other reviews to figure out what I was doing wrong.

This chair is very beautiful and comfortable. It is very easy to put together even though some instructions are confusing. I bought it in blue and pink and waiting to receive my pink chair. The blue colour is gorgeous, just as shown in the picture.

My daughter loves her chair. It’s soft and works well for her desk. Easy setup and heavy duty. Color was true to picture.

This chair is wonderful! The fabric is easy to clean and is a deep rose color. The chair was easy to put together and the height is adjustable. Perfect for my girls desks!
