★★★★★ An AmazonBasics High-Back Executive Chair review will not answer these 18 questions. Get the truth from people who own an AmazonBasics High-Back Executive Chair , including the fact that it won't...

QUESTION: DOES THIS CHAIR HAVE ADJUSTABLE TENSION ON THE LEAN BACK?
• yes, it has the usual tension knob under the center and I set it pretty loose out of preference. Unless I'm actively pressing myself back in the chair, I still get that 'too far forward' feel out of the seat, though I'm a somewhat light person and others may have less trouble with having it naturally lean back. 
• It does but it still does not lean back very far a bit dissatisfied with that. Also, have noticed a slight forward lean to the chair. 
• The chair tends to lean forward about a 10% downgrade. The tension on the lean back is �justable and a little hard to reach.. Tighten up well. Overall I'll give it a 3 out of 4. 
• It doesn't have adjustable back. But it is comfortable. 
• Yes. 
• Yes. 

QUESTION: ARE THE ARMRESTS CUSHIONED?
• Yes they are, pretty comfy at that. 
• The armrests are cushioned. WE can't get our chair to tilt back- the lever does not pull out as directed. I'm waiting for someone on Amazon to help me out.

QUESTION: HOW COMFORTABLE IS THE CHAIR OVERALL?
• Except the fact that it doesn't recline more than 30 degrees, everything else is good with this chair. I have a habit of keeping my legs on table to force the chair to recline hence it wont be a problem for me ;) 
• Very much like a thick cloud with fluffy cotton and cool pillow with wheels 
• My husband is 6'3" and likes this chair 
• Very 
• ITs great 
• Not very comfortable. It's actually a staples chair masquerading as an Amazon product. If you like how it looks, you can try one out at your local staples and see if you find it more comfortable. Good luck. 
• Very comfortable. We love them. 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE SEAT HEIGHT?
• (3 feet 9 5/64 inches), I LOVE IT... it curves to the arch in my back and very comfy.... 
• Wow hard to answer. Hope this helps. Im 6 foot Supports my shoulders. 
• Like most office chairs, the seat height is adjustable. 

QUESTION: HOW'S THE BUILD QUALITY? WOULD IT LAST FOR YEARS?
• In a typical office environment? Possibly. I have a home office, with the attendant intrusions from pets and kids, and I suspect those may shorten the life of my chair. That said, the overall build quality may be the best of any I've purchased from Amazon in years. 
• It should last for some time; given proper care. It depends on weight, repetitive movement, air quality and numerous other factors. The construction of the chair is quality. 
• It seems pretty good. I don't know about years, but i'd say it's definitely good for 1 year everyday use. 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE SEAT HEIGHT IN IT'S LOWEST POSITION?
• The top of the seat is about 15" off the ground in the lowest position. 
• About ~17 inches.. 
• 19 inches 
• 42 inches to the top of the chair 

QUESTION: HOW HOT DOES THE CHAIR GET AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS? THE SAME AS FAUX-LEATHER CHAIRS AROUND THIS PRICE POINT, OR SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE?
• From experience, this is as good as $100 will get you. Solid construction and comfortable. But again, if your concern is about use for hours and hours at a time, maybe you should upgrade. 
• rilly it dosint get hot but win it dose you can hardly fill it 
• I've been sitting for upwards of 8~10 hours a day and have no problems with the seat getting hot. But I also have a seat cushion as well. 

QUESTION: DOES THE CHAIR GET HOT DURING SUMMER?
• No 
• My chair is comfortable. I am sure that if it sat in direct sunlight the black material would get hot. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. 

QUESTION: IS THIS CHAIR SQUEAKY? I'M A 21 YEAR OLD 125LB WOMAN BUT THE ONES FROM IKEA SQUEAK WITH KINDERGARTENERS...
• It hasn't been for me, and I'm a 6'0", 210 lb male. 
• 1 am 180lbs and I have no squeaks in this chair 
• A little if you move around a lot, but that would be the case with any leather/pleather chair. 
• Works fine 
• Mine is absolutely silent. 
• Mine does not squeak at all. The only noise it makes is when you sit down at first, or when you first rest your arms on the arm rests (air is getting squeezed out). 

QUESTION: HAVE CHAIR AND CAN'T GET THE LEVER OUT TO LEAN BACK IN THE CHAIR?
• I'm having the same issue. 
• Turn the black knob under chair,It will recline some but not munch... 

QUESTION: IS IT GOOD FOR A GAMER?
• I wouldn't get it for gaming. The arms are not padded and it's not really that comfortable to "lean" your arms on for a long period of time. 
• You know, it is a comfortable chair, but I use it in my home office. I prefer an upright chair that does not go back much. If you like that for gaming then it would work, otherwise I would say it does not relax enough for gaming. And, as mentioned, the arms are static. Just my thoughts. 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE SEAT? (INTERNAL TO THE ARM RESTS)
• 20.5 inches internal arm rest to arm rest 
• This is the worst chair in the world. Do not buy it. 

QUESTION: DOES IT REQUIRE ASSEMBLY?
• Yes, it is easy to assemble 
• Yes. You only need the Allen key provided. You screw the seat into the base. Set the seat on the base. The arms screw to the seat and the back to the arms. Very simple job. 
• yes...it's not difficult. 
• Yes, but it's very easy. 
• Yes, takes 30 to 40 minutes. 
• Yes, minimal. 
• Yes ....but easy directions. 
• Yes, it does. 
• Yes 

QUESTION: DOES THIS CHAIR SQUEEK? I WANT IT FOR MY RECORDING STUDIO AND CAN'T HAVE A NOISY CHAIR.
• No our dose not, and we really love it, 
• Not so far! 
• no 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE HIGHEST THAT THIS SEAT WILL RAISE UP TO. I HAVE A HIGH TABLE AND NEED SOMETHING TO GO ABOUT 28" HIGH FROM SEAT TO FLOOR.
• I'm measuring about 22" seat to floor at the highest. 
• The highest I can get this chair is 23 inches from floor to bottom of the seat..That seems pretty high..you may need a stool type seat instead... 

QUESTION: HOW IS THIS ON CARPETS/RUGS?
• I have a rug and hardwood floor in my office... No issues so far! 
• Quite lovely. No problems 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE THICKNESS OF THE CUSHION?
• It has a good thickness, on scale of 1 - 10 I give it a 7.5. 
• It's a decent thickness. I'm not at home at the moment to give an exact measure but I can tell you that I'm 6'3, 325 pounds, I've sat in the chair for probably 150 hours and it hasn't deflated a bit. It's very comfortable and holds up well
