One chair in Brick Attic’s lineup has more reviews than all the others put together: the Leather Office Chair. It costs $129.99 and averages 4.3 out of 5 across more than 40,530 ratings.
That is a huge amount of feedback for a chair at this price. We checked the spec sheet and the numbers behind the score to see what drives it.
Materials and Build
PU leather covers the seat and backrest, and Brick Attic markets it as waterproof and stain-resistant. A layer of high-density sponge padding sits underneath.
The listing says the idea is to look upholstered while avoiding the cracks that show up on cheaper PU chairs as they age.
A certified Level 3 gas lift supports the chair, with a 275 lb weight rating. Heavy-duty rubber wheels roll across different floor types, and the listing calls them smooth and silent.
Adjustments and Comfort Features
Height adjusts across a 3.94-inch range. The seat also swivels a full 360 degrees.
The backrest is curved and padded to support the lower back. A rocking function lets you tilt back by pulling a handle, then lock the angle by pushing the handle in.
The armrests fold up 90 degrees. Brick Attic says that lets you tuck the chair all the way beneath a desk, freeing around 1.2 square meters of floor space.
In a cramped home office, that is a practical perk and not mere sales talk.
What the Ratings Tell Us
An average of 4.3 from more than 40,530 ratings is solid. The sheer volume makes it hard to wave off as an early batch of reviews.
It is not a perfect score, though. Brick Attic’s warranty leaves out three things: sun fading, ordinary wear and damage caused by overloading the chair.
Those carve-outs suggest what unhappy buyers probably complain about, which keeps the average from reaching 4.8 or higher.
Weight deserves a second look if you are near or above 275 lb. That capacity is a hard limit, not a suggestion.
Where It Fits in the Brick Attic Lineup
Compared with the brand’s Drafting Chair, this model sits lower. It does without the tall five-star base meant for standing desks.
Versus the Rolling Stool, which sits at a similar price, you gain a full backrest, armrests and a higher weight rating.
FelixKing is the bigger name. Brick Attic counters with a lower price and a longer stated warranty.
Our Verdict
Shoppers after a PU leather chair that adjusts in many ways will find this the simplest choice in the Brick Attic catalog. It supports up to 275 lb, and its frame and moving parts are covered for 5 years.
Check your weight against the stated limit before you order. To keep the leather from fading during the warranty period, place the chair away from direct sunlight.
