Thanks to its ergonomic components, including an up-and-down headrest, height-changeable seat, 3D armrests, and resistance knob, the FlexiSpot OC14 is excellent for the office. One of its few deficiencies is the lack of adjustable lumbar.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The FlexiSpot Pro Plus OC14 is a mid-range office desk chair that made its debut in 2022, offering understated comfort to office users. Featuring sleek aesthetics, this chair captures the essence of a few of the best office chairs today. It has a breathable mesh-back and mesh-seat design that will appeal to people who desire to keep their bodies cool throughout the day.

This chair has adjustable parts, including the headrest, 3D armrests, seat height, and recline. The five-star metal base with smooth casters maneuvers easily around the office. However, its lumbar support is not adjustable.

Consensus

our Verdict

The FlexiSpot Pro OC14 is a great office chair, thanks to its breathable mesh back design that stays comfortable on warm days. This chair has outstanding ergonomics, featuring a height-adjustable seat (18.5” to 21.26), up-down-flexible headrests (providing a 46.46” to 49.61” height range), and three-direction changeable armrests. Additionally, a three-position tilt tension knob and lock let users adjust the reclining angle and resistance. Its smooth gliding casters make moving around the office very easy, and users will also like its sleek, high-end vibe.

The few shortcomings of the OC14 include its lumbar support not being adjustable. Its mesh seat and mesh-back design may be a tad too uncomfortable for those seeking a more cushy chair. This chair does have a stable metal five-star base and sturdy frame. It’s not the cheapest option, so check out our Herman Miller Mirra 2 review for a more affordable model.

ReasonS to Buy

  • Outstanding ergonomics
    • The FlexiSpot OC14 is perfect for office use, in part because of its vertically adjustable headrests and 3D three-direction adjustable armrests that can tilt upwards or inward by 12.5°

    • It supports seat height adjustment between 18.5” and 21.26” and depth adjustment as well. This chair is also height adjustable between 46.46” and 49.61”

  • Top-grade build quality
    • With top-quality metal parts and a five-star base, this FlexiSpot Pro OC14 chair feels incredibly strong and durable. It is recommended for individuals weighing up to 220 lbs.

Reason to Avoid

  • Fixed lumbar support
    • While the FlexiSpot OC14 chair earns kudos for having lumbar support, some users will be disappointed that its lumbar support is not adjustable

Designed with a metal base, the FlexiSpot OC14 has a more upscale look than the FlexiSpot C7, which has a plastic base. However, the C7 is the more affordable option. Otherwise, the two are both mesh-back chairs with an adjustable headrest.

Featuring a distinctive kneeling design without a backrest, the NyPot Premium Ergonomic Kneeling chair is more suited for exercise and people with specific back problems than the FlexiSpot OC14, which is a more mainstream chair with a backrest. The FlexiSpot is the more comfortable model, featuring armrests, headrests, and casters, all of which are not available on the NyPot chair. However, if you wish to learn more about the kneeling chair, our NyPot Premium Ergonomic Kneeling chair review has the details for you.

With a more ergonomic 3D adjustable armrest and up-and-down adjustable headrest, the FlexiSpot OC14 is more comfortable than the IKEA Markus chair, which has fixed armrests and a fixed headrest. However, the IKEA chair has a bigger 240-lb maximum weight rating, so it’s more suited to bigger individuals than the 220-lb limit of the FlexiSpot chair. Find details about the IKEA model in our IKEA Markus review.
