Picking a desk chair gets confusing when one brand sells a leather executive chair, a tall drafting chair and a rolling stool. Brick Attic does exactly that, and each of the three is built for a different kind of workspace.
This guide covers what each seat is, what the specs mean in daily use, how the brand compares with FelixKing, and what its warranty, return and shipping terms actually say. Everything comes from the brand’s own information, so I attribute claims to the brand instead of pretending to have tested the chairs.
Prices move around, so I leave them out. When you are ready to compare, check the current price on Amazon.
A Quick Look at Brick Attic
Brick Attic is an ergonomic seating company on the small side, and it introduces itself through a mission rather than a person. Its line is “Better work begins with better seating,” paired with the tagline “Work Better. Sit Smarter.” The thinking behind both is that a chair should adapt to the sitter.
Nobody is named as a founder and the site gives no founding year, so there is no origin story to weigh up. What the brand does publish is an email address for support and a U.S. telephone number, answered Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
On standards, the brand says its chairs comply with ISO and SGS requirements. No certificate numbers appear on its site, so read that as a claim, not a verified fact.
As for where to buy, the brand names two channels: its own site, brick-attic.com, and a brand-run storefront on Amazon. It says keeping the list this short is how it protects product authenticity and consistent quality.
The Three Lines Side by Side
The catalog rests on three different seat types, not one chair in many colors. Here is how their stated specs compare.
| Seat | Built for | Weight limit | Height range | Back and arms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leather Office Chair | Standard desks | 275 lb | 3.94 inches of travel | Padded back, flip-up arms |
| Drafting Chair with Backrest | Standing desks and tall counters | 300 lb | 33.86 to 41.75 inches | Detachable back, footrest ring |
| Rolling Stool with Wheels | Mobile, shared spaces | Not given | 19.9 to 25.8 inches | No back, no arms |
Leather Office Chair
This is the leather executive-style seat, also sold as the Executive model. The cover is PU leather over high-density sponge padding, and the base carries a certified Level 3 gas lift. It swivels a full 360 degrees, and the curved, padded backrest rocks when you pull the handle.
Its most unusual feature is armrests that fold up 90 degrees. The brand says that lets the chair tuck fully under a desk and frees about 1.2 square meters of floor. The brand also markets a grey version for shorter users and tight rooms, with the same flip-up arms and swivel base as the black chair.
Drafting Chair with Backrest
Where the office chair has a regular base, the Drafting Chair sits on a taller five-star caster base meant for standing desks and counter-height work areas. The footrest ring can be raised or lowered across 7.87 inches, so your feet are not left dangling at that height.
The backrest detaches, and a steel plate reinforces the PU leather panel. It comes in four colors: black, silver, white and ember brown.
Rolling Stool with Wheels
Of the three, the stool is the most stripped-down. The seat is round PU leather on a layer of dense memory foam, and there is neither a back nor arms. It raises and lowers between 19.9 and 25.8 inches, and the brand lists a five-minute assembly.
The brand aims it at salons, tattoo studios, medical or dental offices, kitchens and craft spaces. Its weight limit is not stated, and the listing mentions a three-year service window for repairs, so confirm the terms for this model before you buy.
Start With Your Desk Height
The best first question is how tall your desk or counter is, because the three seats split along that line.
Standard-height desks
The Leather Office Chair is designed around a standard desk of 28 to 30 inches. If the desk is shoved against a wall or into a corner, folding the armrests out of the way lets the seat slide all the way in.
Before ordering, measure the knee space under the desk and the room behind you. A chair that rocks and rolls needs space to move.
Standing desks and tall counters
Only the Drafting Chair is meant for taller work surfaces. At 33.86 to 41.75 inches, its range suits most standing desks set to a seated height, and the footrest ring keeps your feet supported.
It also carries the higher stated weight limit, so it is worth a look at a regular desk too if you are close to the Leather Office Chair’s ceiling.
Mobile and shared spaces
The Rolling Stool fits people who shuttle between stations all day, such as a salon chair, a craft bench or a kitchen island. The back and arms are gone, and in return the seat is lighter and easier to move.
A quick decision path
- Desk at standard height, and you want a padded back and arms: Leather Office Chair
- Standing desk or counter-height work area: Drafting Chair
- Moving around matters more than back support: Rolling Stool
- Between 275 lb and 300 lb: Drafting Chair, for its higher stated limit
What the Specs Mean Day to Day
Spec sheets can read like a foreign language. Here is a plain translation of the terms that matter for these chairs.
Gas lift and height range
The gas lift is the cylinder under the seat that handles the up and down movement. The brand lists a certified Level 3 lift on the Leather Office Chair.
The height range tells you which desk the chair is tuned for. The office chair’s small travel suits a standard desk, while the Drafting Chair’s taller range exists because the whole seat sits higher.
Weight limit
The limit is 275 lb on the Leather Office Chair and 300 lb on the Drafting Chair. Treat these as firm ceilings, because loading a chair past its rating is one of the warranty exclusions. Always confirm the figure on the listing for the exact model you choose.
PU leather and padding
PU leather runs across the whole lineup, over sponge padding on the office chair and memory foam on the stool. The brand markets that cover as waterproof and stain-resistant.
Because every seat shares one material, pairing two pieces in the same room means the same look, the same feel and the same cleaning routine.
Casters
The Leather Office Chair rolls on heavy-duty rubber wheels that the brand describes as smooth and quiet on different floors. On hard floors, a chair mat is a cheap way to protect the surface.
Brick Attic Versus FelixKing
Brick Attic and FelixKing both aim at value rather than premium design. Here is how the stated specs compare against a similar FelixKing model.
- Warranty: five years from Brick Attic, one year from FelixKing.
- Load: 275 lb on the Brick Attic office chair, 300 lb as a FelixKing standard, and up to 400 lb on its Big & Tall models.
- Lift: certified Level 3 on Brick Attic, reinforced three-stage on FelixKing.
- Arms: flip-up on Brick Attic, rotating on FelixKing, both at 90 degrees.
- Material: PU leather on Brick Attic, mesh backs on much of FelixKing’s range, with some PU leather models.
Warranty is where Brick Attic is strongest on paper, and it matters most if you plan to keep a chair for years rather than replace it often. Capacity is where FelixKing is stronger: its Big & Tall versions go higher than anything in the Brick Attic lineup, and it leans on mesh, generally the more breathable material in a warm room.
The basics are close: about 4 inches of height adjustment, a full swivel, arms that fold or rotate, and a gas lift with several stages. Neither sits in the premium ergonomic tier, so judge them on value.
Under the weight limit and want longer coverage? Brick Attic makes sense. Need capacity or a mesh back above all else? Look at FelixKing.
Care Habits That Protect the Warranty
Nine things fall outside the brand’s warranty. Most of them come down to where the chair sits and how it is used, so they sort neatly into a few everyday habits.
Choose the spot carefully
Sun-related fading is excluded, and so is use outside a normal office setting. A position away from a bright window, and well away from a damp garage or a patio, covers both. If the window cannot be avoided, a half-closed blind, or the chair turned away from the glass when you step out, cuts the exposure.
Watch the load and your pockets
Overloading is on the exclusion list, so compare your weight with the stated rating before you buy. If you sit near the lower figure, step up to the higher-rated seat rather than testing the limit.
Sharp-object damage is listed separately. Keys, tools and a cat’s claws are common threats to PU leather, so empty your pockets before sitting down.
Clean gently
For routine dust and spills, a damp cloth is the usual approach. Abrasive scrubbing and strong solvents risk harming the cover, and a rough method may fall under the warranty’s exclusion for non-standard activities. Every so often, clear dust and hair from the casters and the base.
If a part fails
A suspected manufacturing defect is handled by email. Photograph the part and send it to the brand’s support address, and the brand says no registration is needed beforehand.
Where to Buy and What to Check
Coverage follows the seller. The brand says its warranty applies only to chairs bought from brick-attic.com, its official Amazon store or an authorized retailer, so a chair from a resale site or another marketplace might be genuine and still sit outside that coverage.
Before you order, run through a short checklist:
- You are on the brand’s own storefront, not an outside reseller
- The product is a Leather Office Chair, a Drafting Chair or a Rolling Stool, the three lines in the brand’s catalog
- The item shows as available, since an old link or search result can point to a page that is no longer current
- You will keep the order confirmation, which works as proof of an authorized purchase
The quickest way to see what is on offer is the official Brick Attic storefront on Amazon, which opens Amazon in a new tab.
Returns, Warranty and Shipping
These are the brand’s own policies. If you buy somewhere else, check which terms apply to that seller.
Shipping
FedEx is the brand’s only carrier. Orders take one to two business days to process, and delivery then takes three to seven business days. Shipping within the lower 48 states is free.
The brand does not cover Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or several other territories, and it cannot deliver to a P.O. box.
Returns
The clock is 30 days from delivery. A chair is eligible only if it is new, unused and not yet installed, and it has to go back in its original box with the manuals, any blank warranty cards and all accessories. Anything the buyer has built, modified or repaired is excluded.
The brand emails a prepaid label to attach before you drop the box at a carrier location. A wrong item or a quality fault on the brand’s side means a full refund with return shipping included. The policy is silent on who pays to send back a chair with no defect.
Once the brand has inspected the returned chair, the money reaches your original payment method within 10 business days.
Warranty
Coverage lasts five years and applies to manufacturing defects. It reaches frames, mechanisms and springs, the upholstery and padding built into the chair, and moving parts such as casters, gas lifts and armrests.
Nine exclusions are listed, among them ordinary wear, stains, sun fading, overloading, sharp-object damage and use beyond a normal office setting.

The Short Version
Match the seat to the desk first, then the weight limit, then the room. The Leather Office Chair suits a standard desk, the Drafting Chair suits a tall one, and the Rolling Stool suits a space where you keep moving.
