Best chair I ever sat in - $144. Serta Hensley

Just got the hensley to work doing that. $164 with tax, pickup.

edit: they cancelled it immediately after I ordered. Had to use a different email address to get the extra coupon to work. Ended up being $170 something delivered.

 

I just did this as well, not as hot as $144, but for $161 with tax I'll try it since I need a chair badly

 

Great. In all my years here, that's literally the first time I've helped someone save a little money on something. Weird

Kind of curious, though, to see if I'm missing something: why is everyone getting the Hensley over the Jennings? The Jennings has adjustable armrests (though they 'wiggle' a lot, which bothers some folks).

 

Thanks. I didn't get to try any of them out. I went with the Jennings because of the adjustable armrests, but in truth, it seems a little short, from front to back. I thought maybe it's because of the 'waterfall' edge, as I've never had one of them before, but in reading the measurements, I think the seat IS a little shorter from front to back.

 

damn, that price is ridiculous

 

i hate you btw , your post ended up making me buy the chair since i originally thought the deal docjon posted was only for that specific chair and not the hensley, lol.. now i have to wait til next week to buy forza.

The adjustable armrests are why I didn't go with it.. have never liked then on any chair.


ok chair's been put together, this things like sitting on a friggin pillow and the upright back's perfect.. when everyone was saying it was a straight back it had me worried but i love this thing. definitely glad i went with this over the adjustable arms version for the 10-15 dollars more it cost me. time to relax and play some mechwarrior online now.

side note, found it hilarious with the check out clerk/women having to try and impress me by taking the box out and putting it in my truck even though i lift twice the weight of these boxes for 12 hours a day 6 days a week, lol. i played along with it though.

 

Got the same deal yesterday. Went to pick it up and there were 30 of these behind the counter waiting to be picked up. The cashier had no idea wtf was going on.

 

An office depot driver delivered mine this morning. He stood there to make sure I could carry it into the house, smiling at me the whole time. Kind of creeped me out. Oh well. My ass in is heaven now!

 

lol, i'd be creeped out as well.

 

Sounds like you left out half the story there...

 

Lemme know how you like it.

 

I should try one of these out. My chair seen better days and the cheap staple/office depot chairs seem to only last me 3 years before they snap in half and I fall over lol. Was funny when the billing lady in the office at my job chair broke and had to get 3 of us to get her up (She weights about 500lbs).

 

Yeah I'm with you on that. I'm not big per say @ 6'1", but about an even 200lbs. I try not to cheat on my diet so I control my junk-food intake as that's my curse, lol. I'm pretty fit still with a 36" waist and tho I like having my brews, I have a small belly for my age (56). I'm also using a high back exec's leather chair I bought from a used office furniture warehouse for 10 bux! An easy $500 chair I lucked out cause it has some paint scratches on one of the arm rests, but still nice. I'm using an extra mem foam cushin from wheelchairs to give me some comfort during my game sessions, but I would say after an hour and a 1/2 I start feeling it in the back of my legs and my lower back. No fun at all. Looking forward to your thoughts of that new chair!

 

it's definitely for some one thats BIG and TALL.. i'm 6'2 230'ish but broad shouldered and even for me the chair's huge. i'd definitely say this chair's designed around 6'5 300+ but the things comfy as hell.. passed out in my chair last night watching a movie which is the first time that's happened since my 48+ hour game binging high school days.

 

I'm looking to get back into a normal chair, I bought a Temper-Pedic mesh chair because of all the hype. But it's got almost zero support for the back at all. Something like this looks amazing, especially for long hours. I would recommend against the Temper-Pedic Meshes if anyone is considering them.

 

Thx MixManSC for the pics and the quick/short to the point review of the new chair. Pretty cool that you can leave the armrests unattached and it doesn't hurt the structure of the backrest. Looks to be a well made chair that will last several years. Enjoy it!

 

I had one (or very similar model) for about a year or so. Sat it in a lot, 285lb. The leather and lift held up, but the padding got thin pretty quick.

 

This thread got me in the mood for a new chair. I have had a mesh back chair for a few months and I hate it. My cousin is an assistant manager at officedepot and pointed this chair out to me:
https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/986369/Serta-Smart-Layers-AIR-Arlington-Executive/

I went up to office depot with him and sat in it. It was half off at $149.99. I am 6' 200lbs and he is 6' 170 lbs. The lumbar on that chair is reinforced with steel rod that dug into my back but not his.

So I decided to hell with it... I will spend some money on a good chair and sat on every one in the store... ended up falling in love with this one:
https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/248897/Realspace-Axton-Big-Tall-Bonded-Leather/

It was on sale for $289. Regularly $380. Then I used his employee discount... Got out the door for $250 after tax. The head rest is adjustable and fluffy as hell.
Put a pillow on my sub woofer, propped my feet up and kicked back in that chair and had a very comfortable few matches of pubg.

 

The issue I have with bonded leather is the top leather layer starts to wear out pretty quick. I've had so many chairs/couches with bonded leather and in less than a year start to wear out and make a peeled mess all over the place. I've got a bonded leather recliner couch that the seating part is already cracking/wearing and it's not even 2 years old.

 

Funny you mention this. I picked up this exact chair a little bit ago. This thread made me go out looking as my current chair was falling apart. I picked this chair for the adjustable headrest and high back. I like to rest my head when leaning back and even a l lot of high back chairs don't allow this. Looks like I snagged a slightly better deal then you did. It was on sale, +$40 off $200, +5% off online order. I went to the store, sat in it, and ordered it on my phone for store pickup, walked out the door 10mins or so later with it.

Its also worth noting this chair has a 5yr limited Warranty and 500lbs limit. Im 6FT 230, but feel this should last a while. The cushion is something else. Its really comfortable and feels like sitting on the pillow, I sit in an office all day, had many chairs from mesh to standard office, and have never been in a chair with such a nice cushion. Feels like quality. This chair is also built like a tank. It weights around 70lbs assembled.

 

Just got an email for Office Depot/OfficeMax for 30% off $30 or more and it says good on furniture.

For the fun of it, I clicked buy on a chair and tried to apply the coupon code in the cart but it wouldn't
work. Might be too soon for the code. It popped up a message to chat with an online support rep.

Check your email or sign up for their offers if you are buying a chair.

.

 

in small print in the email i believe it says for select items or something like that, thought the same thing but would work on some chairs but not all of them.

 

I hate when retailers pull those stunts!

Huge "SALE" fanfare and then the " *select items " in small print someplace.

Well.... probably still a good idea to sign up for the emails so you get the offers that do apply.

It may also help to do an online chat with a rep to see if you can get the discount on what you want.
You can always bail out and cancel if they say no.

.

 

i didn't even have to subscribe for the 20% off, if you leave the page open for about 3-5 minutes a random popup will say "you have 40 minutes to get 20% off" blah blah blah and then it starts counting down. there's actually no time limit on the code though since the code i used was the original one i got when i first tried to buy the chair weeks ago but missed the sale by minutes.

 

Fingers crossed that something close to the original deal pop's up during Black Friday.
I sat in a Serta Hensley at a customers house and my butt luved it. No butt love jokes please.

 

Same here. I went to a local Office Depot to test chairs, and found a few that seemed comfortable. I then sat in a Hensley, and it was amazing. Made the former chairs, and anything I sat in afterwards, feel terrible by comparison. I then had to go home and sit in a chair that I always thought was comfortable, only to be reminded of how much it wasn't.

 

I had a similar looking chair years ago. Expect the fake leather to start cracking/peeling after a years of use. I've since bought a Herman Miller chair so I don't have to buy yearly cheap chairs anymore.

 

Sometimes you can still get it through. Just depends on if their computer system rejects the coupon. Most cashiers don't check or care about the fine print. I've bought stuff with coupons that say "not valid for wusthoff or henckels knives" but I walk out the door with one anyhow.

Other than that, I really hate the *select items. They put 48point font 10% off erryting in store!!!, then in 4 point font "only good for dog food".

 

Looks like we are onlyh getting a deal for $239.99 on this cahir for black friday. What a letdown, I missed the sale last month and really want this chair, but not for $240.

 

Can you de mount the arm rest on this chair or are they needed to support the back of the chair ?

 

You could put a bolt in the hole with a fender washer painted black.
That would be a better more finished look than leaving the vacant hole.
