BTOD Akir Chair w/ Mesh Back and Fabric Seat Reviews

4.5 Rating 117 Reviews
I was looking for a really comfortable chair to use at my computer as I spend a lot of time writing software. This chair is exactly what I needed. It is completely comfortable for long sessions in front of my computer screen.

I'm 6'3 290lbs. I got the highest seating option and at it lowest level it pretty spot on for me. I don't need to raise it at all which is what I was hoping for. This chair has good a good cushion, rugged mesh texture and soft padding. At some angles it can restrict blood flow to the back of the legs a little bit but the sliding seat or a slight position change will fix that. The headrest is nice, it's a little far back but not uncomfortably so. The headrest has good height adjustability, but is pretty plasticy, decent enough support. The mesh back is nice and wide, breathes very well, no sweaty back, pinching or rubbing. The armrests are very nice, as adjustable as I need them to be. Up, down, in, out and swivel. The plastic base is well built and sturdy, quality plastic wheels too. All hardware was included and assembly was fast and seamless.

Easy assembly, comfortable seat, excellent overall. However, the wrong cylinder (shorter than my choice) was delivered to me and I only realized that after I assembled the chair. They sent me the right one after I sent them an email but I don't have the tools to change it, they are not cheap. A little disappointing in this regard.

I purchased four of these chairs for my staff to replace some older leather chairs and staff couldn't be happier. The comfort has been outstanding and the speed at which btod was able to get the product to my office was very fast. I worked with Kent and he helped me with reviewing all of my options. If you are looking for chairs I would highly recommend doing your business with btod. Great Job!

Very nice, but pushes me forward. I had to unbolt the back and place a spacer on the bolts to get it to lean back. Due to the hassle of a return, I decided to keep and modify myself to get correct fit. Strongly suggest a different business model where the consumer can somehow try several chairs before buying, and not have to buy, dislike, return and pay shipping and restocking fee. That model is quite a turn-off and probably limits sales. I won't buy furniture again online. Note Amazon solved this problem and has been quite successful, to say the least!

Great customer service experience from start to finish. Kent (BTOD sales/tech rep) is exceptional. His level of knowledge about all aspects of ergonomic chairs is incredible and more importantly, he takes the time necessary to navigate you to the right product. The BTOD Akir ergonomic chair features high-quality solid construction meant to last for years. It is a perfect investment for home or commercial offices. Love my ergonomic chair - thank you BTOD!

So far so good, I like the chair, with the exception of being able to til the back without moving the seat.

Overall, I really like this chair. If I had one thing to pick on, it would be the armrests -- there should be a way to lock in their position. It's too easy to push them forward or turn sideways.
