Deal Details
https://www.amazon.com/Furniture-...B0956L978V

$100 shipped/sold by Amazon, in a box with Clatina Mellet branding. Said to be like a knockoff Steelcase Leap with more plastic. Having used both, I'd say it's been pretty good, give-or-take the lumbar feature. The reclining function is great. The armrests aren't as freely-adjustable on a plate like the Leap ones, but are fine. The lumbar's too aggressive and doesn't go high enough, but you can pop it out, and then the fabric back works fine with a gentler curve.

If you have a percent-off deal from Amex or Discover that requires shipped/sold by Amazon, this works. That's how I got one last year when it was around this price. Then it went "out of stock (more on the way)" for almost a year till recently, then dropped back to $100 now.

EDIT: Looks like Walmart [walmart.com] and Walmart Business [walmart.com] also have it for $100, listed as the Furniture of America Inek. Shipped/sold by Walmart.com.

Really bad reviews on BBB and Reddit.

Looks like one of those no name mass produced items from China that you can put your own brand name on it and call it a different brand. Multiple photos of same chair with different brand names.

That's called "white label."

I haven't looked at this particular chair but it's extremely common with those "gaming" chairs so I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the office chair market as well

I've had the mesh version of this chair with the headrest sold under the Clatina name for a few years now and really like it. Even though its a Chinese white label chair it's far better than a budget chair.

Really good reviews on Reddit, from what I've seen. There's like one negative one, and I struggle to find a second. I did do research myself before buying, after all. My only long-term concern is the plastic wheelbase cracking in some Amazon reviews, but that's easily replaceable when the time comes.

At any rate, looks OOS now. My work here is done

Ah, looks like Walmart [walmart.com] and Walmart Business [walmart.com] also have it under a different model name, shipped/sold by Walmart.com. Also $100.

Well said. "Furniture of America" — made in China…

one of the best sub $350 chairs out there. $100 is an absolute no brainer here. However, be aware that Clatina refuses warranty and won't sell parts. so if something breaks you have to buy a second Mellet to have spare parts.

Lift cylinders and bases are generic and easily swappable. Unless you need a specific arm or fabric, you can get any of the other parts online from dozens of vendors. I have replaced half a dozen lift cylinders on chairs over the years, and you can even get a heavy duty replacement that is rated for 350 lbs.

Exactly. Just replaced one on my 21 year old Herman Miller! $22 on Amazon.

Well... yea... but the issues are with the lumbar, arms, etc. Pieces you can't just swap out... and those are extremely important.

Sort of feels comparative to telling people that tires are easily replaceable on a vehicle, but then saying the engine and other key components aren't, and so then that's... what... fine?

Just feels so obvious, are you a bot?

'lumbar, arms, etc.' aren't something that typically needs replacing. If you are, you're using your chair wrong. I have never replaced anything but lift cylinders or casters in my entire career.
