If you’ve been on Amazon looking for a mid-range office chair, you may have come across the Clatina brand and their range of chairs.

I won’t get into too much detail now, but they’re an award winning company based in China that’s well known for producing ergonomic chairs.

I’m always bit skeptical of things made in China, so the question is- are their chairs any good?

In this article, I will do an in-depth review of their chairs and decide whether they’re a good choice.

About The Company

The Clatina brand of chairs is represented by a company that has been selling on Amazon since 2018. The company is called Klasika office supply.

Their chairs are actually made in China by a company called UE Furniture Co. They have 4300 employees and consider technical innovation to be the driving force of business development.

Awards

UE furniture has won several honorary titles in China including the ‘Provincial Green Enterprise’, and ‘Zhejiang Furniture Industry Leader’ among others.

They’ve also been granted the ‘Huzhou Government Quality Award’, being the first company to receive it in China.

All in all, I have to say that unlike some other China manufacturers that offer competitive prices and lower quality, these guys are working hard to bring you the latest technology in ergonomic chairs.

Best Ergonomic Chair

Clatina Ergonomic High Swivel Executive Chair

The Clatina Ergonomic Chair looks promising at first glance. Its design is unobtrusive and should fit into most workspaces.

It offers a certain degree of adjustability to fit various types of people, and it seems extremely durable with its reinforced steel base that supports up to 275 lbs.

The first thing I noticed when researching the Clatina ergonomic chair is the comfort of the seat cushion. It used to be kind of thin but since it was updated you can really notice the difference.

People that tried it say the chair is very comfortable, even after 8+ hours.

Adjustability

Together with the standard seat height adjustment that goes from 17’’ to 21’’ off the floor, you also get to adjust the seat depth by sliding it back and forth with 3.15’’ of wiggle room.

This is crucial for ergonomics because you control the distance from the seat to the backrest. The closer you get to the backrest the more effective the lumbar support (Also adjustable for height).

The total length of the backrest is 24’’ and once you add the headrest you get 32’’ of length. This will be comfortable for people from 5’2’’ up to 6’5’’ tall.

The height of the headrest is adjustable, and so is the angle. You can also recline but won’t be able to lock it in a reclined position.

Armrests

The arms on this chair are padded, and they move in 3D (up and down, forward and back, and pivot).

However, the pivot function performs poorly, and the arms tend to get in the way, so that would be the downside of this chair.

Overall, this chair seems to punch above its price range and performs somewhat better than similar chairs on the market.

What We Like

• Thick cushioned seat
• Adjustable features including seat depth
• Comfortable for 8+ hours

What We Don’t Like

• The pivoting function needs improvement

Best Mesh Chair

Clatina Ergonomic High Mesh Swivel Chair

The Clatina Mesh Chair was designed with a curved backrest and a sloped seat that gets you closer to the lumbar support while keeping you seated deeper.

This type of stance promotes better posture and follows your spinal curve closely. The seat slopes on both sides (towards the back and front). The front slope is also called a waterfall seat edge.

It reduces the pressure points and improves blood flow in your legs. The seat is 19.7’’ wide and 18.5’’ deep, making it the perfect size for average sized adults.

The arms on this model are curved and come up to 25’’ off the floor and 7’’ off the seat. They’re not adjustable but feature an unusual design that encourages you to sit up and rest your elbows.

People that use this mesh chair like that the arms are stationary and do not wobble.

Comfort

Both the seat and the backrest materials are mesh with elastic properties. It keeps your body cool in all the places that touch the mesh.

With regards to the sitting comfort, the mesh gives you a firm but comfortable feel.

Overall this model doesn’t offer much in terms of adjustment (you can only adjust the height of the seat and the tilt) but it is well-built and is comfortable for long hours.

What We Like

• Promotes proper posture
• Comfortable to sit in
• Mesh keeps you cool

What We Don’t Like

• Only 2 adjustments available

Best Executive Chair

Clatina Executive Bonded Leather Chair

This executive chair was built to be spacious and ergonomically correct.

The backrest was designed with an S-shape that follows your spine, and you get built-in lumbar support that customers seem to love.

I also liked the extra section on the sides that truly hugs your lower back. Just like other Clatina models, once you sit in it you feel like the cushion is on the firm side- but it’s also comfortable.

The seat is adjustable for height from 19.7’’ to 22’’ off the floor, making it a bit taller than standard chairs.

Upholstery

The upholstery is made of premium bonded leather. Bonded leather is the preferred choice for people who want an executive chair but don’t want to spend a fortune on it.

The title ‘premium bonded leather’ doesn’t say much in regards to the quality. but people that use this chair say the upholstery is durable and doesn’t flake.

The backrest reclines to 105º  which is nothing to be excited about, and one would expect a much bigger recline range from an executive chair.

The backrest is 27.5’’ in length making it a good choice for people over 5’2’’ tall. This chair comes with a 5 year warranty and a money back guarantee if you return the chair within 90 days.

What We Like

• Generously cushioned
• Spacious and comfortable
• Durable bonded leather

What We Don’t Like

• Low recline range

Best Big & Tall Chair

Clatina Big & Tall Executive Office Chair

If you’re looking for the biggest and comfiest office chair available from this brand, we suggest looking into this big & tall chair.

The upholstery on this chair is a fabric that reminded me of velvet. It’s incredibly soft and cushy when you sit in it.

The padding on the other hand tends to get flat after a while. If this happens, leave the chair for a day or two (if you can) to get back to its original shape.

Adjustability

You can adjust the height of the seat from 16.3” to 19.1’’ off the floor, which is a bit shorter than standard models. Some people solve this by adding taller wheels.

You can also turn the tension knob under the seat to turn the chair into a rocker. People that use the chair are satisfied with its performance and love that there are no plastic parts that can break.

If you need to replace the chair for any reason you contact Klasika office supply on Amazon, and they will send you a return label that you print out and place on the box.

They also pay for the shipping of both the old and the new chair.

What We Like

• Looks and feels expensive
• Provides support in the right places
• Rocking motion adds to the comfort

What We Don’t Like

• Seat padding flattens out

Most Affordable Chair

Clatina Ergonomic Swivel Desk Chair

If you’re looking for a decent budget chair that will perform well, this one might do the trick. Its overall structure is very durable, and the seating experience is extremely comfortable.

People use it for 3-4 hours without issues. The only thing you might need extra when purchasing this model is a seat pillow because the cushion is very thin.

Adjustability

The seat is height adjustable and can be raised from 16.3’’ to 19.8’’ off the floor. The backrest of this chair reclines comfortably to 115º.

The arms that come with the chair are solid plastic and can be adjusted for height. They do their job fairly well, and some people prefer solid arms because the padded ones get damaged easier.

However, if solid arms are not your thing, you can remove them in the assembly process without sacrificing the integrity of the frame.

The chair is easy to put together with simple and sufficient instructions. You also get extra screws just in case, so props for that.

What We Like

• Budget friendly price
• Adjustable lumbar support
• Easy to assemble

What We Don’t Like

• Seat padding too thin

Best Competitor Chairs

No products found.

No products found.

The SIDIZ T50 is a good-looking office chair with many adjustable features. The photos included don’t do it justice, especially for the sturdiness because the chair is a lot heavier than it looks.

What I really liked is its seat adjustability feature. You can slide it back and forth to change the depth of the seat or slope it forward to get closer to the work desk.

This feature is also preferred by gamers that tend to sit forward when playing. The seat is comfortable but on the firm side.

This chair was designed to allow you to lean back and type, but not everyone will be inclined to do so. Still, some people do prefer having the back of the chair right up against their back.

Recline and assembly

The backrest reclines to 5 different positions, and you can control the maximum recline limit but you can’t lock it in place while reclining.

The assembly of the chair is unbelievably simple and should take you around 5 minutes. All you have to do is install 6 bolts, 2 for the arms and 4 to connect the backrest to the seat.

Another great feature of this chair is the removable fabric seat cover that can be dry cleaned for maintenance.

Nouhaus Ergo3D Ergonomic Office Chair

Nouhaus has made an attractive chair that looks very promising but comes with some limitations. The manufacturer’s specifications say the seat width is 19.7’’, but that’s counting the outer edges.

The true width of the seat is only 16’’ wide making this chair a good choice for slim people. If you weigh over 100 lbs, you might feel pressure on your thighs coming from the edges of the seat.

The seat can be adjusted for height and the maximum it will go (if you install the roller blade wheels) is 22’’ off the ground. Measuring up to the headrest you get a 51.5’’ tall chair.

The mesh on the seat, the backrest, and the headrest is elastic but firm and will keep you sweat-free.

Lumbar support

On the downside, this model features live lumbar support that can’t be adjusted but follows your movement as you change positions throughout the day.

The lumbar was designed with an extreme curvature to offer better support.

This has backfired though as people who have the exact spine curvature needed for this chair, love the lumbar support, but those who need to adjust the lumbar a bit lower (or higher) are unable to.

Ticova Ergonomic Office Chair

If you’re looking for a chair with proper lumbar support, the Ticova ergonomic chair is worth considering. The design of this model is very similar to the Nouhaus chair.

The lumbar support is an individual part of it and responds to your movement, but in this case, you can control the height of the backrest and place that lumbar support where you need it the most.

This chair reclines to 140º, which is the most on our list so far. The frame that holds the backrest was made of steel, which is fancy for a chair in this price range.

Adjustability and comfort

The chair also provides plenty of adjustable features. The height and angle of the headrest can be adjusted, the arms go up and down, and the seat can be raised with 3.9’’ of wiggle room.

The headrest is sturdy and won’t wiggle around. It sits exactly where it’s supposed to, but you can also remove it if you want.

The armrests are concaved and more comfortable for your arms than the conventional flat surface design. The seat on this model was made with lots of attention to detail.

It is filled with 3’’ of high-density foam that was molded in the shape of the letter W reducing many pressure points on your behind.

Assembly

Assembly is not hard, but it is time consuming. This is because there are many parts to put together. It should take around 30-40 minutes in total to assemble.

Amazon offers a 30 day money back guarantee on this product, along with a 1 year warranty.

Gabrylly Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair

What I personally appreciate a lot in an ergonomic chair is the flip-up armrests like the ones found on this Gabrylly Office Chair.

In addition to being able to flip them out of the way, once you do need them you’ll be able to adjust them for height which is rarely found in one chair.

The padding on the arms is soft and feels good under your arms. The tilt function gives you the standard 120º recline which feels nice but won’t put you to sleep.

Comfort and adjustability

This chair was created to be comfortable for people from 5’5’’ up to 6’3’’ tall, props to the company for disclosing this in their description instead of leaving us to wonder as most companies do.

In reality, based on people’s experience the maximum recommended height would be 6’, otherwise, you won’t be able to use the headrest effectively.

The chair will successfully hold people up to 280 lbs. The mesh on the Gabrylly chair is comfortable with elastic properties and gives proper support to your body. It also keeps you cool.

The headrest can be adjusted for height and angle, and it does a good job once you decide to lean back and relax.

Assembly will take only 15 minutes of your time, as the chair arrives in nice packaging and along with an Allen wrench to put it together.

The Verdict

I have to admit I’m usually a bit skeptical about products from China because they’ve earned a negative quality control image over the years.

However, this is not the case when it comes to the Clatina chairs.

The company behind this product does a great job of following and even producing new technology trends while also taking care of the environment.

If I take into account their prices, the quality of their products, and the great experience customers have had, I’d definitely recommend this brand.
