Bet you can't find the box after 2 - 5 years.....or the receipt.................or even the chair :laughing:

Good price but don't expect it to last very long. The leather starts to peels away from its backing after a very short period of time leaving it looking old and ugly. This is my chair after ten months. I tried to return the chair but I did not keep my receipt.

All I say is, go and sit in these chairs first.
I was going to buy this seat but when I sat in it, it had no back support at all for me.
I tried all 22 chairs there and ended up with http://www.staples.co.uk/executive-chairs/cbs/297809139.html?promoCode=&Effort_Code=WW&Find_Number=297809139&m=0

Another nice chair worth considering is this one:

Staples Foroni Task Chair

It's 51p cheaper than this one but only has a 3 year warranty - it should also work with the same code stacking.

Don't forget that 8% TCB!

Had the same issue and selecting address their website suggested fixed it.

expired..

Now price is £179.00 Inc VAT

It's now £179.00 so £133.21 after discounts - not quite so interested now:(

Has anyone managed to order from Staples ? They are useless! Me and a colleague tried to place two separate orders and both got blocked by Staples. I had to call them a few days later to ask for an update. They said that their system didn't recognize my billing address and that I don't live there! Exactly same excuse they gave to my colleague. Their IT systems are a joke and in the end they lost us as customers. Anyone else with similar experience ?

Thanks - I got one of these - seems good value for money and fits nicely in the small of my back.

Back to £179.00 Inc VAT

The lumbar support is very strong I wonder if it will squash down a bit when it gets worn in a bit but it does make me sit properly instead of slouching at least someone did mention this previously about it being a bit harsh

It's 54cm at the base with no tilt, and 57cm at the front (having it slightly tilted). Hope this helps :smiley:

Hi kriss57,
Please can you help me with the seat height when it is extended to the maximum.
Thank you so much

Hi RHodgett,

Please can you help me with the seat height when it is extended to the maximum.
Thank you

Mine came today, OK for the money (£58).
Easy to put together, 12 x allen bolts and 12 x dust caps, allen key supplied, that's it, about 30-40 minutes tops.
So far so good. :stuck_out_tongue:

Even the original price of £89 tells you it's a cheap chair and probably won't last long. I doubt it's very comfortable either. You have to pay £300 upwards for a decent long lasting comfortable office chair.

I have one from Ikea which I bought for £35. Does the job...

If only it was that simple :smiley:

Got mine today (after waiting around for ages yesterday when it was suppose stop be delivered), and I'm very happy with it for the money. Pretty comfortable and the 5 year warranty makes this great value

Was you as rude to your customers?
Maybe you should of given a full explanation if he first place instead of just saying its PVC.

All I know is that it was sold to me as bonded leather. I am no expert.Are you and expert and able to tell what every substance is just by looking at a photo? Who are you to say I don't understand what I am posting? Do you know me?
You said that the pealing was PVC, I mealy posted some info quoting that the top layer of bonded leather can be made of vinyl with leather fragments attached to the underside.[/quote]


I don't think you understand what you are talking about. The PVC/vinyl (the black part) is not leather, and does not contain any leather. The backing is essentially mashed up leather offcuts which is then used to bond the PVC/vinyl.

Think of the backing like processed/reformed turkey slices.
Why am I an "expert"? I spent 3 years working as customer service manager for a furniture importer. Everything from Memory foam mattresses to sofas, to rattan furniture, to patio furniture. As you can imagine, I had to deal with stupid customers who think they know better on a daily basis...

I'm not an executive, will the warranty stand?

Just got mine today, overall am happy with it. Slightly higher quality than the eBay PU leather chair I had before which broke and wore within a year (posted earlier by someone on this thread), comfy and I like the way you can lock it on the recline, and very easy to put together - only about 10 screws. Think it will last a couple of years before the arms go... got my fingers crossed that they'll honour the warranty if they do.

I got mine 3 or 4 years ago and it has been great. No peeling at all, despite repeatedly scuffing one of the arms against a rough exposed edge under my desk. That arm looks battered where it has been scuffed, but the damage has not spread or started peeling. I wouldn't expect anything better given the hard life it's had.

I like a slight recline on my chairs so the back support may not be good enough for everyone. It was my favourite when I tried out all the chairs in the store. Its full price used to be 240 for years, sometimes reduced to 120, so quality and manufacturing may have changed.

I'm very good at putting together chairs, tables, and other things but this chair is a nightmare to put together.

Got mine today. Ok not best quality the silver paint comes off easily. Easy to put together and solid once built. Much bigger than I expected so downstairs now and need a different chair for my daughter upstairs. For the price I am happy if it lasts a year then I need to take it to the dump then it is money well spent. I find it comfortable and like the soft padded arm rests although will be careful with them they look a bit fragile. I feel like you need to not scrape it on something even accidentally or it will tear into a million pieces as we all know a single hole is a goal not wanted on a chair

:smiley: great. Just got one!...

you cant i chatted via online chat to staples any peeling or scuffs is considered wear and tear no matter how long you have owned it,i asked even if 3 moths they said yes we will not accept returns under warranty for any peeling

Well unless you're going to force codes into a till monkey's mouth. I'm pretty sure that google will keep the email for a few years......

Mine arrived this morning after having ordered around 6pm yesterday.
Easy to put together and comfortable.

It looks decent as long as you are not checking fine details. Comfortable as well. If things start peeling off I will contact Staples for a refund.

Thanks for sharing this deal.

haha
love the comment

Thanks for the codes which make this a great deal. I agree that the leather bonding does not last, but with a 5 year warranty, this is less of an issue.

Thanks FlappyPappy, ordered the Foroni chair :smiley: Codes do work for that as well as you said.

My chair package arrived today and is missing the bit that screws into the bottom of the seat. Contacted Staples who are getting their supplier to send me one out. Not a great start..

Correct.
The black stuff pealing off of the chair in that picture is not leather. It's PVC.[/quote]

TCB tracks @ £4.93 Thanks OP

Thanks OP, ordered will return the one ordered yesterday

Thanks op heat added and ordered, bonded's the name... :sunglasses:

You can get sinilar chairs for around this price on ebay/amazon. That said if you like having a long warranty this is a better buy.

Quidco has tracked for me at £3.70, so chair is down to Less than £58. :laughing:

lol, I know what bonded leather is. I've had this same chair in my work office for more than a year now, used daily for 8-10 hours, and it still looks like new with no damage at all to the 'bonded leather'. Hence my comment. :smirk:

is not really leather?

Bonded leather, also called reconstituted leather or blended leather, is a term used for a manufactured upholstery material including animal hide. It is made as a layered structure of a fiber or paper backer, a pulp made from shredded leather and a polyurethane coating which is embossed with a leather-like texture.

bonded leather....its a bit like getting some mince and adding all sorts of fillers, bread / brains / guts / pva and shaping it like a steak and calling it a "sirloin"

i honestly dont know what most of these comments are on about.

it's a £60 office chair, not an £800 ergo-carbon fibre chair. if it lasts 5 years its more than paid for itself, and if not, keep your receipt and you'll get a new one.

honestly, people need to set their expectations based on price, rather than trying to fit their expectations into a much lower price.

Ordered and thanks. +Quidco

Plus top cash back

Ordered thanks. Replacing my "bonded" leather chair which has lasted 12 years.

Re-posting content you don't fully understand doesn't maintain or increase the perception if your intelligence my darling.

You should know by now that you don't need a receipt to return faulty goods - as long as you have some proof of purchase like a debit card statement or a dispatch email or whatever.

For me, at least, the problem is I don't always want to sit like a typist. I very often sit cross-legged or in a half-slouch with my feet on the chair, and only executive chairs with large flat seats enable me to do that. I've yet to find a real leather executive one which is rated for more than 8 hours of use.

£12 delivery to N.I. pfft, ripped off again.

All I know is that it was sold to me as bonded leather. I am no expert.

Another quote:

Bonded leather, also known as reconstituted leather, is perhaps the cheekiest form of fake leather available. Introduced to the market in 2007, this product only qualifies as leather – if you believe that a VW Bug qualifies as a Ferrari because both have wheels. Bonded leather consists of a number of vinyl and polyurethane layers affixed to each other. Mixed leather fibers are then glued to the underside of these layers. That’s correct; they aren’t glued to the top of the surface, they’re attached to the underside. The top layer of polyurethane/vinyl is then patterned and dyed to match the traditional look of fine leather.

You might be asking yourself: why have any leather fibers at all if they are just glued to the underside of the material where nobody will ever see them? Manufacturers have been predictably silent on the topic, but most people suspect the presence of these fibers is used to justify marketing claims that the product is “leather.” Considering how this material is made, it is not surprising that reconstituted leather eventually fails and sometimes in less than a year, with cracking, peeling, and discoloration which are all major issues.

To be honest this is the first cheap computer chair I have ever bought I have always been given ex office chairs from someone so I will see how long this lasts and if it looks ok after 6 months it has paid for itself instead of having a 5 year old chair with sweaty anus glands and **** all seeped into it. didn't know you couldn't say j I z z hardly a bad word

Lol she has a laptop and xbox one but you can't use cheats easy on the xbox and laptop won't play Ark I could probably mod this chair to have the screen and everything attached to it but I just want my dining room chair back down stairs

Correct.
The black stuff pealing off of the chair in that picture is not leather. It's PVC.

Bonded leather, also called reconstituted leather or blended leather, is a term used for a manufactured upholstery material which contains animal hide. It is made as a layered structure of a fiber or paper backer, a pulp made from shredded leather, and a polyurethane coating which is embossed with a leather-like texture. Related products, bicast leather or coated leather, are made by splitting, shaving, or grinding leather to reduce its thickness, and then laminating it.

Taken from Wikipedia.

That's not leather, that's fake plastic leather. Bonded leather merely means that the edges of the plastic PVC are held together with leather strips which you can't even see. It's supposed to add flexibility to joins but has nothing to do with what you can actually see

This is for my 8 year old daughter to play computer games like ark survival and minecraft so I'm sure it will be good enough for her

Surely everyone here is clever enough to know bonded leather is poop poop. Not hot at all, just average price this.

Do yourself a favour and take the £60 and put it towards a used ergonomic taskmaster chair if you want to sit in this for 8+ hrs a day. Find them in great condition on ebay from office clearance outlets quite often.

Introductory models available around £180:
Steelcase Leap
Humanscale Freedom

I have the leap and it's amazing, these chairs move with the body which is way more sensible if you actually think about it for 5 seconds.

That's if Staples exists...

All I say is, go and sit in these chairs first.
I was going to buy this seat but when I sat in it, it had no back support at all for me.
I tried all 22 chairs there and ended up with http://www.staples.co.uk/executive-chairs/cbs/297809139.html?promoCode=&Effort_Code=WW&Find_Number=297809139&m=0

These are terribly uncomfortable. The lumbar support pushes out in to your back way too much, and there's no way to adjust it.

Get what you pay for.

but prob is for the 5 years,is staples online going under to as is no high street shops now they all office outlet now,so if need to return how do you?

I've got a chair that looks similar to this (different arm structure too), purchased from Staples in 2013 it only started to peel on the seat recently and it wasn't too bad. Oddly though mine didn't come with a 5 year guarantee and its not a Staples chair, its a true innovations chair (the company that makes Lazy Boy chairs).

I got in touch with them and they unexpectedly after asking me the model of chair and a few other details sent me a replacement seat, they didn't even ask for proof of purchase and it's out of warranty. Very comfy chair and I paid much more for mine, only thing I was mad about was that they didn't say it was bonded leather they used another term.

I think it was £259.99 when I bought mine but I asked if the manager could knock the price down so paid £200ish. :smiley:

Still I'm happy with mine and at this price I'd buy another.

Will keep the receipt for this one.

Good price but don't expect it to last very long. The leather starts to peels away from its backing after a very short period of time leaving it looking old and ugly. This is my chair after ten months. I tried to return the chair but I did not keep my receipt.

Yeah it's trash polyurethane leather - can anyone link to a genuine leather chair that's not absurdly expensive?

Plastic "leather"

Great price, just ordered one for my mum :smiley:
Thanks.

Another nice chair worth considering is this one:

Staples Foroni Task Chair

It's 51p cheaper than this one but only has a 3 year warranty - it should also work with the same code stacking.

Don't forget that 8% TCB!

My chair from staples sat in after 9 months, staples offered to collect it and refund fully, they send a plastic cover no box needed. Just keep the invoice when ur chair arrives.

I don't believe anyone "actually" knows what "bonded leather" is :man:

I'm sat in this very chair at the moment. I think I paid around £120 going on 4 years ago now. It's survived being dismantled numerous times. The padding has seen better days and definitely hasn't withstood the test of time. It's not what I would call comfortable anymore. The material doesn't look too bad, considering.

For £61, it's worth a punt. Especially with the warranty. It was much more comfortable when I first acquired it.

Thanks ordered for my daughter got to be better than most £50 ebay so called gaming chairs

be prepared to throw away this chsir after few years, bonded leather WILL peel off and will look ugly. Or use some cushion to protect seat and dont touch arm rests at slk...

bargain, got one for the office! thanks!

I've had this chair (well, everything looks the same except the arm structure) for ~8 years and it has been perfect.

Only now starting to show some wear, but plenty of life left in it - would recommend.

Thanks, heat added. If it goes dodgy after 5 years, at that price I'd say fair enough....

Unless you've got scaly arms, clawed hands, and an abrasive backside, I really don't see how you can destroy a leather chair so quickly, bonded or not... :neutral_face:

Damn! Just paid £80 other day for this.

Fantastic find, 2 chairs bought ,

5 years confirmed, on website spec and on box as well. You buy online so save your digital receipt... And even if last to years - its just £61....

Thanks for 15% Staples own brand code. You just save me almost 30 quid. I bought it last week when it was 99.50 with -10 over 50 spend! Got it already and its good chair for money. Then price drop by 10 quid, and further 15% now! I ask staples to price match but they want me to send this one back and get new one in price of 61.61 so I'm returning mine tomorrow and already placed order for new one - also arriving tomorrow - what an absurd...

Bet you can't find the box after 2 - 5 years.....or the receipt.................or even the chair :laughing:

Where does it say you get a 5 year warranty?

A huge 8% TCB as well. That 5 year warranty forced my hand, thanks for posting.

IMHO bonded leather is worse than plastic. My bonded leather dining chairs lasted 18 months with moderate use..

Thanks Rick, just changed it.
