Our Verdict

The Flexispot Ergonomic Office Chair OC13's retro chic design may not be for everyone, but if you like its classic 80s grey office chair look, and want serious modern back support features in your office throne, this is a great option (we just wish the arms were a little more adjustable).

For

  • Great retro look
  • Solid support
  • Easy to assemble
  • Reasonable price

Against

  • Arms not very adjustable
  • If you don't like grey...

The Flexispot Ergonomic Office Chair OC13 chair will appeal to those that want a specific looking office chair to finish their home office, but who are also serious about giving their back the best chance of a long, pain-free working life. We've all learned something from the multiple lockdowns over the last couple of years, and for us the importance of investing in one of the best office chairs for back pain has become s a serious consideration. But who said looking after your back had to be boring?!  

When we requested to get the Flexispot Ergonomic Office Chair OC13 in to review, we thought it'd simply be a bit of 80s retro fun, and little more. So this writer was genuinely surprised, five weeks on, to have found it a solid back-supporting chair that is as comfortable as it is cool (I love grey, by the way)
