Best Leather Executive Office Chair (2026): 5 Compared

REFICCER lists the 9380 as a big and tall executive chair in brown faux leather with an inflatable airbag lumbar system, flip-up armrests with height adjustment, a 360 degree swivel and a 90 to 120 degree rocking tilt. The seat measures 23.22 by 23.22 inches and adjusts from 21.25 to 24.41 inches high, and the double padded cushion has built-in liner springs. The gas lift is SGS certified and the listing is BIFMA certified for safety and durability. The listing states a 1 year warranty for missing parts, shipping damage or other non-artificial quality issues.

One contradiction to note: the bullets state a 400 lb weight capacity while the spec table states 350 pounds; the bullets are trusted. At 60 lb it is the heaviest chair here. Who it's for: taller users who want an inflatable lumbar, flip-up arms and a stated warranty. Who should skip it: anyone who needs a stated capacity above 400 lb or a lighter chair.

What this listing states. SGS certified gas lift and BIFMA certified, so safety scores 7 of 10. 1 Year warranty for missing parts, shipping damage or other non-artificial quality issues.

Fit and capacity. Check the stated seat height range against your desk height and the stated weight capacity against the heaviest user. Tighten bolts after the first week. Adjustments are comfort features, not treatment for pain; ask a clinician about any condition.
