Product Snapshot

Overview

The SmileMart Adjustable Mid Back Mesh Swivel Chair is an entry-level pick with a mesh back for breathability and a built-in curve within its backrest to aid in good posture. Even though the chair doesn’t offer adjustable lumbar support (check out the best office chairs for this), the chair has a maximum weight capacity of 200 lbs and is very easy to assemble.

The chair also offers pneumatic seat height adjustment, where owners will be able to lift it from 13.2” to 17.1”. Its seat cushion is 2.8” thick for good comfort, and weighing only 20 lbs, it is very easy to move around.

Consensus

our Verdict

The SmileMart Adjustable Mid Back Mesh Swivel Chair is a basic, entry-level office chair that should work great for buyers who need a chair without bells and whistles. It features a mesh back for good breathability, but its armrests are fixed, so no adjustments are possible there. The chair does allow for seat height (adjustable by 4”) and tilt tension adjustments, but there’s nothing more beyond that.

There’s nothing adjustable offered for lumbar support other than the backrest’s built-in curve, which won’t likely be sufficient for users with back problems. There’s also no reclining ability. Fortunately, the seat cushion’s 2.8” thickness does add to its comfort, and the chair is also very easy to assemble.

Reason to Buy

  • High weight capacity
    • The chair’s 220-pound weight capacity proves its sturdiness and makes it fit for use by heavy-set individuals.

Reason to Avoid

  • Poor ergonomics and adjustability
    • Only the seat height and the tilt tension are adjustable on this SmileMart chair.

    • The seat height is adjustable by 4″

  • No lumbar support
    • There’s no definitive lumbar support on the SmileMart chair. There is, however, a built-in curve on the backseat that helps maintain good posture.

The armrests on the Smilemart Adjustable Mid Back Mesh Swivel Chair are attached to both its backrest and seat, making its overall design different from the Berlman Ergonomic Mid Back Mesh Office Chair, where the armrests are only attached to the backrest. The armrests on the Berlman Chair also flip up for added convenience, while those on the Smilemart chair do not. Additionally, the backrest on the Berlman Chair can be reclined while the one on the Smilemart Chair cannot, but their seat heights are both adjustable by 4”.

The SmileMart Adjustable Mid Back Mesh Swivel Chair lacks a headrest, which the SmileMart High Back Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair ships with.

Finally, the Smile Mart Mod Back has height-adjustable armrests, while those on the SmileMart High Back are fixed.
