Gorilla Office: Executive Office Chair - Black reviews

Overall I am satisfied with this chair. The bottom pillow is thick and comfortable, I cannot comment on how it will last though. The mesh back is the highlight for me, it shapes very well to your back when you lean on it, I like the adjustable lumbar support, it is not too aggressive but it does make a difference. The headrest is quite useless for me, I find it not very comfortable and being limited to just height adjust its a hit or miss. Quality wise its good. There is a good weight to the chair and it feels solid once built, speaking of building its very easy to follow but it is easier with 2 people. One of the downsides to the chair is the arm rests. I found that they were way to far forward for me but flipping them around made it much more comfortable. Also on my unit I found that one arm was slightly higher than the other, so I needed to adjust one higher to make them even. The rocking function is solid with no squeaking. Overall I would give this chair a 7.5/10, satisfied but not ground breaking.

Being 6'3 and 100kgs there aren't many chairs that fit me. The headset on this does not fit at all for my height but removing that offers a comfortable chair.

Very comfortable chair & easy to assemble, but the tilt mechanism broke after 1 month of use

I was having some back troubles but didn't have enough money for a high-end chair and ended up settling on this one due to its price point and range of features. Looking at the parts when I was assembling the chair I noticed that it was fairly poorly made (legs were the most noticeable, with clear signs that the job was rushed), however, despite this the parts still appeared to be solid and fit for use. After I first began using it I noticed some issues which I have seen in some other reviews as well, namely the armrests being different heights, though this didn't bother me much since I found I prefer to have the left armrest lower than the other. After settling into the chair a bit more over a few days I found it quite comfortable, my back pain wasn't as bad and it felt good to relax in, the recline feature was also nice when I was watching something or just wished to lean back a bit. I do wish that it was a little more customisable, though it is still really good for the price point. I would have preferred more options when changing the height of the armrests and when changing the lean on the chair, and I wish that the headrest could go a little higher but these are still fine for most cases I have found.

TL;DR: A very comfortable chair, has a somewhat poor build quality and limited customisation options but for the price point it performs its job perfectly.

The chair is quite comfortable. I'm 6ft and around 100kg's. Good back height. And the seat height adjustment has good range.

I am however concerned about how the seat mates to the base. It feels like a obvious weak point. Time will tell.

Update: Did not take long to confirm my concerns. I have hardly used the chair. My wife who is quite small leant on the arm rest and heard loud cracking. The very thin wood base must have split. The cushion is almost useless too. Cheap sponge that goes as flat as a pancake when sat on.

I have requested a return.

This chair is pretty comfortable. The arm rests are nice, they can go super high.

My only issue is that the upper back and head rest are tilted so far back that they are unusable unless you basically lay all the way back in the chair. You can't sit upright with good posture if you want to use the back rest at all.

Skeptical at first but the head support is actually good. This chair is deeper and wider than the standard Gorilla one. I got it on a daily deal, choice!

Have used this chair for a few mouth’s now it was very easy to put together and looks nice but I have found it very uncomfortable and it has slowly fallen apart on me. Everything else I have bought from MightApe has been great but this chair not so much.

Chair seemed good out of the box, but the backrest's threads were tapped into the wrong side which needed to be removed and tapped into the other side. Other than that, the chair is quite comfortable and the headrest is a nice feature.

Its reasonably comfy, tho the lumbar support doesnt do much for me. Im well below the weight limit (55Kg) . The parts were a bit rough in some places, but thats to be expected for the price. One issue is there is one spare screw for each type…appart from the screws that attach the base to the seat. This was bad as one of my screws was messed up and I couldn't tighten it with the allan key. Otherwise it still feels sturdy, not a bad chair, will see how it holds up

Very comfortable chair, I am happy for that. Good price as well.

Good adjustable height, comfortable seat, fast delivery. Just hope it lasts long.

Stay well aware of it, people – the screws keep coming off, and I need to keep a fallen key in my pocket like I have asthma. Today I drew the final straw – a 12G screw underneath the chair that connects the wheels and the stand to the physical chair came off. Imagine if my pregnant wife sat on it and fell!? Get a well-known branded chair.

Assembling this chair was a bit of a pain as the seat holes were drilled on the wrong side so was forced to assemble with the seat pad backward. The chair itself is comfortable. Managed to get 8 months of use out of it before the tilt mechanism randomly broke without me even using it.

Ordered mine Oct 2020 and it shipped with a manufacturing issue that was quickly resolved. The foam holds up well in the time I have had it, and the mesh wears in nicely. My only issue is the metal tab that holds the tilt for the back rest in position has broken off and now the chair is always fully forward. Because of the strong spring for this tilt you cannot just lean into it to push it back and be comfortable it takes a bit of force. So the chair ends up always being all the way forward.

The headrest is nice for me and the chair is good for the price, but I think next time I will go for a full mesh chair as the foam seat is annoying to clean well and shows dirt easily.

Overall it's an excellent choice for value after one week experience. The frame looks sturdy. All other parts (headrest, armrest, legs, etc..) are working properly.

Chair arrived with paint rubbed off the side. Not painted well to begin with. A lot of money for a chair that is flawed.

Base seat of the chair is slightly slanted and noticeable over time. Back rest has preset positions which affect the base of the seat and is very clunky to set up

Functional, relatively comfortable, materials are cheap and there are definitely some quality issues. The locking mechanism for the recline function completely sheered off within a year which isn't show stopping but is inconvenient. Would advise spending a little more for something stronger.
