I just got my featherlite amaze ,overall seems comfortable.

But there is a play at 90 degree position ,where it doesn't seem fully locked , whenever i sit it sets in a little back ,it is little but still annoying.it is not in anyway loose ,it needs force for play to move it ,but its there.

It locks well at all other positions of recline.

Is it normal to have this much play ?

Can anyone with a amaze helpout.

First post!
After a lot of searching on this subreddit, I browsed Geeken and other leading stores in Kirti Nagar, even tried Godrej Greta 2.0 but it didn’t suit my sitting style. I got this from an office furniture shop through someone I know. It’s Chinese, but it does the job of being comfortable and looking pretty aesthetic while I am not sitting on it lol.
What does the audience of this subreddit think? Let me know.

After months of reading reviews and comparing chairs on this sub, finally pulled the trigger on SuperErgo Director.

A month ago, I had bought the Godrej Interio Greta 2.0 from Flipkart since it was budget-friendly, but it really didn’t work for my height, so I had to sell it off. Wasn’t able to try it out before buying.

Tried it in person at a Pepperfry studio to be sure about the fit and comfort this time.

Price - ~₹29k (directly from their website during Independence Day sale)

Happy to answer any questions if anyone is considering this model!

Hey folks, long chair hunt saga.

At first I was looking at used Herman Miller and Steelcase chairs since my office uses a Steelcase and I was already familiar with that kind of feel. I ended up buying a used Steelcase Think V2, but after using it for a bit I realized I really want a headrest at home because I sometimes use the chair to relax too. The other problem was the no-warranty situation — if anything went wrong, repairs would probably cost way too much compared to what I paid. So I sold it.

After that I started looking for a good used Featherlite Amaze deal, but most sellers were asking almost new price, with like ₹1k–₹1.5k off at best, so it didn’t really make sense once you factor in pickup/transport. Around the same time I checked out the Featherlite Helix in store. I liked it a lot — fixed headrest, but the position felt right for me, good cushion, good posture support, overall just a really comfortable chair. I skipped it then because the price felt too high.

Then I stretched my budget and bought a Sleep Company Flex for ₹17k. Unfortunately the auto-lumbar / back mechanism started acting up pretty quickly, making noise and vibration, and I returned it within the return window. Refund is still pending.

After that I found a deal on a Featherlite Helix for ₹12k. At first I almost skipped it, but then I went to check it out and it turned out to be a brand-new sealed box, manufactured in April 2026 and imported in May 2026. It felt like too good of a deal to pass up, so I bought it.

Now I’m using it and it feels great, but my main concern is still the same — no warranty, no bill, and if anything does fail later, I don’t want to end up in a situation where repairs are super expensive or basically not worth it.

So yeah, I'm curious what people think:

Was ₹12k a solid buy for a sealed Helix?

Any known weak points on this chair I should watch for?

Is there anything I should be extra careful about since there’s no warranty?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s used the Helix long term.

I recently bought a Featherlite Amaze with the headrest, but I’m having trouble adjusting/installing the headrest because one of the screws is extremely tight.

I’ve attached a picture of the screw. I’ve tried loosening it, but it seems almost impossible to turn without applying a lot of force, and I’m worried about damaging the screw/headrest mechanism.

Would appreciate any advice from other Amaze owners.

Hey everyone! I need some help with my office chair.

I have a Wakefit Gravita HighBack Office Chair. Wakefit sent me a replacement tilt/seat mechanism, so I now have the new mechanism ready to install.

The problem is that I need to remove the gas-lift cylinder (the long pole in the photos) from the old mechanism and fit it into the new one.

I can’t figure out how the cylinder is attached to the old mechanism. There doesn't seem to be a normal screw or bolt holding it in place.

How do I safely remove it? Is it just a tight friction/tapered fit? Do I need a pipe wrench or some other tool?

I've attached photos of the old mechanism and gas cylinder. Any advice from someone who's done this before would be really appreciated!

Thanks! 🙏

Went to featherlite store, checked Amaze, Optima, Helix. Decided to go with Optima.

When the chair was delivered, there was an issue with armrest and lumbar support . They took the chair back and delivered another yesterday.

After the chair was assembled, noticed few issues.

1. Gap between the seat and arm rest was not same on both sides. It was rectified by the technician after pointing it out.

2. I feel the back rest is too upright, when I sit against the mesh, my back pushes the mesh slightly inside causing the shoulder to lean forward due to the frame.

I'll have to go back to the store and verify if it's the case with only my chair.

Need a no bs chair under 30k with good build and comfort. If anyone using Optima HB , please share your review [height 6'0" , weight 100kg]

I have 2 days work from home so overall I will be using a chair for 20-25 hours/week. My budget is around 8-11k. What I have considered till now:

Wakefit Gravita, GreenSoul (saw bad reviews on reddit so ditched)

Featherlite Amaze High Back (a bit out of budget 13k)

I also went to a refurbished seller (I got contact from Facebook Marketplace) Pasting images I got from there

Herman Miller Mirra started at 13k negotiated to 10k

Has a crack in front plastic near lumbar support other than that everything worked fine ig?

Steelcase Think v1 4.5k (didnt negogiate)

Haworth Zody 8k (didnt negogiate didnt find comfortable as well)

Now I am stuck between either to buy this refurbished one I havent tried toqri or circlestore as of now cause of low reviews. Other option is go over budget and get featherlite amaze one or get without headrest or versa version or just get a local chair and get done with this

I have attached photos of chair from a local vendor as well he priced it at 7-8k may get it at 6-7k

After scrolling through this sub for a while finally decided to go with featherlite Amaze received this low quality /semi used chair with brown dots on mesh.

PS:- I think my back will break by the time the chair will arrive

Hey I’m looking to buy a ergonomic chair for my setup and usually I sit around 4-5 hours in one go while studying and in total around 10 hours in a day.

I’m planning to buy the Wakefit Safari Pro it is costing me around 6400/- currently.

I want your suggestion on this or can I have any better chair in this budget for my requirements.

Hey Reddit! Can you guys help me out?

I’m looking for a new chair and I’m looking for the best chair I can get around a ₹30 - 35k budget.

My main priorities are:

* Good back support

* Strong and durable build

* A backrest that can handle me leaning back without breaking

* Ideally, a good recline so I can actually lean back and relax

I recently bought a chair from a local market, and the back literally broke when I leaned back a little. It’s only been around a year, so I don’t want to make the same mistake again.

I’ve found a few chairs around ₹35k If you have any other recommendations, especially from brands please let me know.

For reference, I’m around **5'6"–5'7" and 80 kg**.

Oh, just one more thing: I want to chair with a good very strong back. I can lean back on it

What would you guys recommend?

I have superergo director chair for 35k - it’s ok. After 3 months of usage.

The neckrest is way above your head and it touches head instead of your neck - even after adjusting it down, It does not touch neck. I’m 5’10. The neckrest is for 6’4+ guys. EDIT - when lumbar is vertically adjusted to max height then your neck support doesn't work. But this should have been accounted for. Bottommost lumbar position, allows neck to rest on neck rest.

Lumbar supports lower area only. creates a gap between mid/upper back and chair.

The handles don’t move vertically above the table level after sitting. so you can’t fully pull the table towards you.

i add pillows in gap between back and chair to feel support.

For that price point it’s 2.5/5

Btw I checked a few other chair in the showroom, this one felt less worse. Sometimes I feel these are all white labelled products and NOT really ergonomically crafted tested for best comfort.

I'm planning to buy a used Steelcase Leap V2 at 14k.

but my main concern, - is it comfortable to use leap v2 under air Cooler in Delhi summer ?

if anyone used it, do let me know before I make buying decision.

Feather lite amaze, so comfortable, noiseless, and amazing seat depth. I'm 6'2 but it still support my thighs. i switched from wake fit safari which had seat slider but that chair was so uncomfortable to sit on but this one is too good, can easily sit 8 hours without any issue.
