When was the last time you heard someone wax poetic over an office chair? If you partake in TikTok, it was likely today. The social media platform catapulted this armless desk chair from unassuming Amazon furniture to viral video sensation. Not only has it amassed millions of views and a stack of pretty compelling customer reviews, it has sold out several times over and consistently counts itself among the ranks of Domino readers’ most purchased products.
So what’s the catch? To start, all kinds of buyers rave that it’s everything from “super-comfortable” to “very comfortable” to “really comfortable.” But the main selling point is that you can sit cross-legged—or as some reviewers call it, “crisscross applesauce”—in the oversize seat thanks to the design’s lack of bulky armrests.

“I can crisscross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips, which is life-changing if you’re chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day,” one reviewer writes. On top of that, the faux leather is easy to care for and “feels like butter.” Shoppers also argue that the neutral tone gives more “real furniture” than “corporate office” vibes.
There are other features we appreciate, too: The seat is roomy at 25.5 inches; there’s a weight capacity of up to 300 pounds; and it has more than 5 inches of adjustable height. While the chair rotates, it’s worth noting that it doesn’t have wheels—which shouldn’t be a problem if you work from home, because (let’s be honest) there’s nobody to wheel yourself over to. At $180, it’s not a typical quick thrill from Amazon, but we consider it inexpensive compared to most ergonomic office chairs. Just think of it this way: With all that newfound productivity, you’ll be up for a raise in no time (so basically, it makes you money).
