Eliza Tinsley Furniture Kiev Executive Armchair - Black

First off, full marks for Amazon replacing the damaged item when it arrived.It was damaged because the manufacturers sent it (24kg) in the flimsiest cardboard box I have ever seen. No doubt to save a few pence on the packaging. The first box arrived with the ‘Plastic’ base sticking out of the bottom of the flimsy box. It was not until I started to assemble it that I found two of the five base legs damaged.Whilst return was faultless with Amazon, repacking it for return was a nightmare.Don’t be fooled by the Eliza Tinsley smiley face for Customer Service on the posting. I telephoned them and after going through the usual annoying selection process to get to a real person, I found them barely helpful.I was disappointed to find that the ‘Gunmetal Grey’ base & arm rests where painted plastic, not metal, which will scratch easily. The plastic feet rollers do not run easily.The chair, whilst built better, is not as comfortable as the PU leather chairs I have had in the past which always split. A majority of chairs for sale give you the impression they are leather but are not.So happy with the ‘Bonded Leather’ surfaces but not much else.The angle of the back rest to the seat is poor so that you only make contact with the back rest when laying back in the chair, a position from where you cannot work at a desk or PC keyboard. When you do lay back, the forward slope of the seat is uncomfortable. There is no way of adjusting this.The hydraulic ram gradually goes down by itself so it is necessary to constantly re-adjust it.Assembly, basically easy except for attaching the arm rests. Ok fixing to either the seat or the back-rest but fixing to both is very difficult. You need a guide rod slightlyslight smaller than the screw size to use as an alignment tool. Even with that is not easy. Not beyond the wit of the designers to include locating pegs?I am returning it as it is not of the quality or design I was expecting for a higher end price on Amazon.

On the basis that only positive reviews are allowed, here goes. This is a perfect chair for vertically challenged people.(no offence intended) Because of this I am excitedly looking for options to raise my computer monitor or longer legs for my desk. At the same time seeking medication for vertigo. It is considerably more comfortable than the bed of nails I was currently using as a chair, but hey ho. One mans nest of vipers is another mans nirvana. When you consider 1 billion pounds was spent on PPE equipment by the UK government that has never seen the light of day, this chair is excellent value for money. Some people may be happy with it, but not me.

I work from home and was on the lookout for a chair which would give me comfort for up to 15 hours a day sat on my rear end at work. I would say this chair is well worth the money. I paid around £244 and even at full RRP it would have been money well spent. Only downside is that (and I won't remove a star for it) the instruction manual whilst wonderfully packaged has poor English and smacks of cheapness. The quality of the chair more than makes up for it. I've been using the chair for a about a month now and my home office still has that wonderful smell of real leather when I walk in every morning. I bought based on the reviews on Amazon and happy to say they were all spot on.

Easy to put up, looks amazing, arrived with no issues or damages but within a couple of days of use developed extremely bad back pains which are ongoing 3 weeks later. Never had back problems before. Amazon have been kind enough to offer a full refund, outside the return window but for your peace of mind buy something else!

I bought this item from Amazon Warehouse Deals, it was reduced to 180 pounds due to damaged packaging. It just arrived and any damage to the box had been repaired, checked all the parts and there was just a slight mark on the legs.Eagerly i put it together, which was quite straight forward, i'm sitting on it now as i write this review, and its very comfortable. Being real leather it smells gorgeous well.Am i pleased, you bet i am, i got a excellent deal and a quality product as well. Thank you Amazon and Eliza Tinsley

Great chair, not the cheapest on amazon, but is quality. Assembled in around 40 mins on my own. Nice easy to follow instructions. Heavier than I imagined, but that just makes it feel better to sit in
