You'll actually look forward to Mondays.

By ,

We think we speak for everyone when we say working from home is definitely better than working from somewhere else. Not only do you get to wear a lounge set all day, but you can also design your work space to your exact specificities, which is always a plus. And while the desk is important, the chair is arguably more crucial, so we went ahead and picked the best ones that are not only affordable, but can show up on your doorstep within three days. That’s right, we are sharing our favorite office chairs on Amazon.

Ahead, you’ll find more than 10 office chairs that are not only comfortable enough to actually enjoy your workday, but they’re easy to assembly, won’t break your budget, and are surprisingly stylish given the price point. What’s more, we even tested a few of these chairs ourselves and can confirm they’re worth every penny. So, if you’re looking for a home office upgrade, start with the chair.

You've likely seen this chair go viral on TikTok (one of the videos has over one million views) because shoppers love the aesthetically pleasing ivory shade and pop-out footrest. You can sit cross-legged during Zoom calls or prop up your legs during lunch breaks without feeling cramped.

Mojay Criss Cross Chair

Pros

  • Easy assembly
  • Arms fold down to create lager seat
  • Available in 11 colors and various shapes

Cons

  • Back is not very high

If you’re working in an office, kicking your heels up and crossing your legs may be a weird look—especially if you’re dressed in corporate garb. At home, however, feel free to wear what you’re comfortable in and sit criss-cross-applesauce all day. The best part, aside from the freedom to sit how you like, is that with a chair like this, your knees aren’t dangling off the edges. You can simply fold down the arms to create a much larger seat. One reviewer said, “Very nice chair! Easy to put together, very cute, and comfy. Happy with the purchase!”

Cons

  • Doesn't come in colorful shades

For an ergonomic chair at the under $200 price point, go with this pick that will work in a professional home office. “I absolutely love this office chair! Unlike traditional bulky chairs, its design is incredibly sleek and elegant—even my mom praised its stylish look,” says tester May Wu. “The seat cushion is thick, supportive, and retains its shape perfectly. The ergonomic curved backrest provides excellent lumbar support, and the adjustable headrest is a lifesaver for my petite frame (I am 5’1). The functions of this chair allow me to easily find the perfect height and angle for maximum comfort.”

Pros

  • Available in eight colors
  • Covered in breathable mesh fabric
  • Eight points of adjustments

Cons

  • Seat cushion is on the thinner side

As much as we love discovering brands on Amazon that we wouldn't have otherwise known about, nothing makes us happier than finding a brand we do know on the platform. After all, buying anything on Amazon often means faster delivery and better pricing. So, when our Associate Shopping Editor, Janae McKenzie, discovered the Branch Ergonomic chair on Amazon, she grabbed it.

"I didn’t realize just how much I tend to slouch during the day until I tested out this office chair. It has aggressively strong lumbar support, which is just what my lower back needed," she says. "Even better, the armrests have three-way adjustability, so there’s none of that uncomfortable squeezing into a tight office chair. I also adore the sapphire blue color with white trim—it helps a very neutral office feel chic."

Pros

  • Adjustable, lockable tilt
  • Sleek, executive faux leather trim
  • Comes in four different colors

Cons

  • Reviewers say the seat can be a bit wobbly

Though armrests are comfortable, they can be a bit of a nuisance when you're not sitting in the chair, especially if they aren't adjustable, which can make sliding the chair under the desk impossible. Enter the flip-up arms of this stylish office chair. "The cushioning is great, and I love the padded armrests," one reviewer wrote. "The lumbar support is excellent. I was a little unsure about the brown & white color of the chair, but it fits and nicely complements my home office space."

A little shine never hurt anyone, especially if you're trying to create a glamorous home office.

Plus, the headrest can be raised and lowered to accommodate different heights. "It's quite adjustable, so you can get work done," one reviewer wrote. "It's bigger than I thought it would be, so it can accommodate a range of sizes and frames. The colorway is beautiful, and the quality material feels buttery soft. I really appreciate the neck support."

Pros

  • Can be assembled in 30 minutes or less
  • Good fit in a tight work area
  • Has an adjustable seat height, adjustable seat angle, and tilt control

Cons

  • No cushion on the back rest

If you want an office chair in the guest bedroom or in the home you're Airbnb-ing, add this one to the list. It's less than $100, which means you'll likely have to replace it sooner than most chairs, but it's not so precious that you'll want to keep people from sitting on it. "I put this together with my 9-month-old crawling all over me in about 45 minutes. It was fast and easy to follow the directions. The chair is comfortable and feels sturdy," one reviewer said. "So far, I’m loving it. Comfortable, easy to roll around on carpet. I’m at my desk for long hours, so hoping it holds up well." Meanwhile, another shopper wrote it's good for plus-size people who need the extra support.

Best Office Chair for Shorter People

Office Chair
Best Office Chair for Shorter People

Balmstar Office Chair

Pros

  • Includes multi-angle support points
  • Breathable and stain-resistant material
  • Comes in seven different color options

Cons

  • Requires assembly

This ergonomic chair from Balmstar offers multi-angle support points for the back, hips, and even hands. The super-soft mesh is breathable and stain-resistant, so feel free to enjoy a few working lunches here. However, it may not be the best for tall people as the chair offers few back and height adjustment options. At its highest point, it's only 16.5 inches from the floor to the bottom of the seat, and typically for adjustable ergonomic office chairs, this range should be from 17 to 21 inches in height. One reviewer wrote, "I got this chair for my space on days I work from home, and it is so comfortable. It was so easy to put together, and it offers amazing support. The seat itself is wider than most chairs, so I feel it offers both comfort and support for long work days."

One reviewer wrote: "I really took my time, choosing a chair because I have lower back problems, SI joint problems, and I write four hours per day, so I had to be careful. This chair was much more comfortable than I expected, and it supports my back really well. The special lumbar adjustment actually works. I’m very happy with it."
