The Brick Attic Leather Office Chair is the leather executive-style seat from a small ergonomic seating brand. It combines a padded PU leather seat, armrests that flip up out of the way, a rocking backrest and a gas lift the brand lists as certified Level 3.
I built this page from the brand’s spec details, its warranty and return terms and its shipping policy, then thought through how they fit different desks and rooms. It is a research-based look, not a hands-on test, so each claim below is attributed to the brand.
The short version: it suits a standard-height desk in a small room, and the warranty is long on paper. The one thing to check before you order is your own weight against the stated limit.
What It Is Made Of
The seat and backrest are wrapped in PU leather, which the brand markets as waterproof and stain-resistant. Beneath the cover sits high-density sponge padding. The brand positions this combination as a way to get an upholstered look without the early cracking that budget PU chairs are known for.
- Cover: PU leather over sponge padding
- Lift: certified Level 3 gas lift
- Weight limit: 275 lb
- Casters: heavy-duty rubber wheels
- Height adjustment: 3.94 inches of travel
- Turning: full 360-degree swivel
The brand describes the rubber casters as smooth and quiet on a range of floor types. If you have hard floors, a chair mat under any rolling chair is a sensible extra.
Comfort and Adjustability
Seat height moves across 3.94 inches, and the seat turns a full circle. The backrest is curved and padded, and the brand says it gives lumbar support.
The backrest also rocks. Pull the handle to tilt back, then push it in to lock the angle you want.
The armrests are the most unusual detail on the spec sheet. They fold up 90 degrees so the seat can slide fully under the desk. The brand says this frees roughly 1.2 square meters of floor, which is handy in a small room.
Before you order, measure the gap under your desk and the space behind the chair. The armrests and the rocking back both need room to move.
The height range is designed around a standard desk of 28 to 30 inches. If your desk is much taller than that, the chair is the wrong tool, and the brand’s Drafting Chair is the better match.
What Stands Out
I am not quoting owner reviews here, because I only repeat feedback I can attribute to a named outside source. So instead of a roundup of opinions, here is what stands out on the spec sheet and in the brand’s policies.
- A stated weight limit. The 275 lb figure is a firm ceiling, and going over it is one of the warranty exclusions.
- A long warranty. Five years on the frame, mechanisms and working parts, according to the brand’s policy page.
- Space-saving arms. The brand pitches the flip-up design as a way to free up floor space.
- Reachable support. The brand lists a direct email address and a U.S. phone line, open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- An unproven standards claim. The brand says its chairs meet ISO and SGS standards, but its site does not publish certificate numbers, so treat that as a claim rather than a verified fact.
- Plain exclusions. Nine are listed, including normal wear, sun fading and overloading.
Who It Suits and Who Should Skip It
It suits a person with a standard-height desk and limited floor space, someone under the weight limit, and anyone who wants a cover the brand markets as stain-resistant.
Skip it if you work at a standing desk or a tall counter, because the Drafting Chair covers that job. Skip it too if you are close to or over 275 lb, since the Drafting Chair states a higher limit of 300 lb. And if you want a mesh back for airflow, look at a different style.
The warranty also excludes use outside a normal office, so a garage workshop or a patio is not the right home for it.
The other two lines cover different jobs. The Drafting Chair has a taller five-star base, a footrest ring that adjusts, a detachable PU leather backrest with a steel plate and a stated limit of 300 lb. It comes in black, silver, ember brown and white.
The Rolling Stool has a round PU leather seat over memory foam, with no backrest or armrests. The brand points it at salons, studios, kitchens and craft rooms, and lists a quick five-minute assembly.
If this chair sounds like your setup, you can browse Brick Attic’s storefront on Amazon, which opens Amazon, to see the chairs and colors it lists.
How It Compares With FelixKing
Both Brick Attic and FelixKing aim at value rather than premium design. Here is how the stated specs line up against a comparable FelixKing model.
| Detail | Brick Attic | FelixKing, similar model |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage period | 5 years | 1 year |
| Maximum load | 275 lb | 300 lb, up to 400 lb on Big & Tall versions |
| Lift | Certified Level 3 | Reinforced three-stage |
| Arms | 90-degree flip-up | 90-degree rotating |
| Back material | PU leather | Mesh, with some PU leather models |
The split comes down to two numbers. On load, FelixKing’s standard limit is higher, and its Big & Tall versions go higher still, which no Brick Attic chair matches. On coverage, five years against FelixKing’s stated one year is the larger gap on paper.
The basics sit close together. Both offer about 4 inches of height adjustment, a full swivel and a multi-stage gas lift. Back material differs: FelixKing leans on mesh, generally the more breathable option in a warm room, while Brick Attic uses PU leather.
Pick Brick Attic if you are under its weight limit and want the longer warranty. Look at a FelixKing model if you need more capacity or a mesh back.
Warranty, Returns and Shipping
Five years is the stated coverage period, and it targets manufacturing defects. Three areas are named: the structure (frames, mechanisms and springs), the upholstery and padding built into the chair, and working parts such as casters, gas lifts and armrests. Eligibility depends on where the chair was bought: brick-attic.com, the brand’s official Amazon store or an authorized retailer.
A claim starts with an email to the support address and a photo of the faulty part. The brand says no registration is needed beforehand. Before filing, read the list of nine exclusions, which covers normal wear, stains, sun fading, overloading, harm from sharp objects and any use beyond a normal office.
Anything the buyer has built, altered or repaired is ruled out of returns entirely. For the rest, the brand’s 30-day clock starts at delivery, and the chair has to go back new and unused, repacked in its original box with the manuals, any blank warranty cards and every accessory.
The brand emails a prepaid label for the return. When the cause is a wrong item or a quality fault on its side, the brand covers the refund and the return shipping. Money goes back to the original payment method within 10 business days of the chair being inspected.
FedEx is the brand’s carrier. Delivery within the lower 48 states costs nothing, with one to two business days of processing and then three to seven days in transit. These are the brand’s own terms, so confirm the details with whichever seller you use. The Brick Attic storefront on Amazon is one place to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight does the chair hold?
The stated limit is 275 lb, and the Drafting Chair is rated for 300 lb. Treat either number as firm, since exceeding it voids the warranty. Confirm the figure on the listing for the exact model you pick.
Do the armrests really fit under a desk?
They fold up 90 degrees, and the brand says that lets the seat slide in fully. Check that your desk leaves enough room beneath the top.
Where should I buy it so the warranty applies?
Only from brick-attic.com, the brand’s official Amazon storefront or an authorized retailer. Keep your order confirmation, because it works as proof of an authorized purchase.
How do I clean the PU leather?
For everyday spills and dust, a damp cloth is the usual approach with PU leather. Abrasive scrubbing and strong solvents are best avoided, and so is direct sun, since sun-related fading is on the warranty’s exclusion list.
Can it be shipped outside the lower 48 states?
The brand’s shipping policy limits delivery to the lower 48 states. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other territories are left out, and a P.O. box address will not work.
The Verdict
The Brick Attic Leather Office Chair is a practical pick for a standard desk in a small room. The flip-up armrests, the rocking back and the long warranty are its real selling points, and the brand backs them with a reachable support team.
It is not for standing desks, heavier users or anyone who wants mesh. For everyone else, the Brick Attic storefront on Amazon is the easy place to check current prices and colors.
