The chair is comfy, though it sometimes squeaks when moving. Customer service was dedicated to helping, and we finally solved it after two replacement parts.

amazing representatives

the representative we connected with could not be more helpful in organising and fixing the problem we had. she worked through everything with us and explained everything as we went. originally we contacted Boulies to buy a replacement part but with the help of your amazing reperesentative we were informed that the chair was actually still under warranty which made it so much more helpful. would highly recommend Boulies to anyone looking for a great and comfortable chair and an amazing team behind them.

Poor quality, poor shipping. I have gone back to my Secret Lab chair.

Just poor quality overall, and the packaging consists of a bit of cardboard and plastic bags, so expect to receive damaged parts to varying degrees.

I ordered the chair, and it shipped without any communication from the company except the initial order confirmation, I just got a notification from DPD that "Kings Park" had shipped a parcel to me. I looked it up and found out myself that was one of the third party distribution centres that offshore-managed companies tend to use, so presumed it was the chair.

The initial chair arrived with damage to many parts ranging from scuffs to significant cracking/impact to the plastic. There were also fibres on the poorly repackaged seat base, so it was clear it had been returned and resold without any checks being done.

I contacted them asking for an immediate collection and refund, this request was ignored and they emailed me back asking if I would like a replacement for the damaged parts and £20 or a new chair sending. As their return policy and communications seemed to suggest that I'd have an uphill battle returning it, I settled on a replacement due to the damage. The replacement arrived mostly fine, a scuff on the plastic here or there, but nothing that would impact the usability.

They asked me to keep the damaged chair for spare parts or dispose of it myself, so most of my living room was taken up by my old chair and the damaged chair that they sent and expected me to deal with.

The chair itself (EP460) is not a comfortable chair. My back was hurting so much that I'm currently writing this review sitting in my old Secret Lab chair, that the arm fell off (after 6 years) and is heavily scratched by my cat. I've yet to decide whether I'll just cut my losses and throw away the Boulies chair or keep it for situations where I won't be sitting in it for too long.

My suggestion would be either to get one of the cheap chairs from Amazon, or opt for a product from a premium quality chair company at their higher price points and avoid learning the expensive £274 lesson that I did.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you encountered, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
Order confirmation and shipping details are usually sent automatically to the email address provided at checkout. If you haven’t received them, please check your spam or junk folder as they may have been filtered there.
Regarding your concerns about Kings Park: It is one of our partner warehouses responsible for handling the transportation of our products. All our chairs are brand new, directly shipped from the factory to the warehouse for dispatch. But our package is quite big and heavy which might cause some damages during the delivery. After receiving your case, our support team have reported this issue to our logistics team to reduce future occurrences.
Additionally, we offer returns or exchanges within 14 days of receiving your order. To make the process easy, we arrange a courier pickup from customer's location. Upon receiving a return request, we will also offer other faster alternative solutions. This allows guests to choose the option that best suits their preferences. We have arranged the new replacement chair for you and glad to hear the second chair arrived in good condition. For the first chair, we can also collect it if you don't know how to handle them. Just please contact our support team and our colleagues will assist you.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced with your purchase. We understand that the mesh seat may not provide the same softness as a cushioned chair. However, one of the key benefits of mesh is its superior breathability compared to cushioned options. If you decide that the mesh chair isn’t right for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team. We also offer a variety of cushioned office and gaming chairs, and we would be happy to assist you in finding an option that better suits your needs.

Chair arrived on time with a handy tracker for delivery timing. The quality is great, and it's really comfortable. Had a small issue with the armrest, but the after-service was exceptional—quick communication and a replacement part sent with clear instructions. Couldn't ask for better service. Highly recommended!

Awesome chairs!

The chair is great! Comfortable and designed really well.
I did have an issue with one of the arms, but contacting customer service, it was replaced straight away. Cannot complain about that!
Would recommend!

Boulies chair accessory, Padded arm rest cushions.

Saved hard as disabled and can’t work, managed to put enough by eventually for a new chair and the arm rest cushions.
The chair is brilliant but this review is for the arm rest cushion pads.

They look smart except the method of attachment looks slightly cheap.

So once the chair was up I fitted both. Arm rests and tried it all out.

For me it’s a scale modellers chair so like gaming needs to be comfortable for long periods of time.
I sit in the chair lay wearing a tee shirt and after around 20 minutes the pads were aggravating the skin around my elbows so much so that I had to remove them.
Left it a couple of days and again after a short time, skin was again becoming aggravated.

So seems a expensive waste of money and not what I was expecting.

Poor Delivery Experience.

I can see a trend in recent Trustpilots for Boulies. I ordered a chair on July 15th which was in stock. The product was not delivered by Yodel when I was told it would. No communication. I then got in touch with Boulies who, whilst responsive, were not helpful. They have sent out another product, on an even slower shipping timeline with DPD. I challenged them a multitude of times as to why this wasn't expedited given the negative CX, the fact its Boulies' fault & the fact its a very premium product but it's clear the CX team are just following a script and so I've given up.

Hello, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced with your recent order. We understand how frustrating this situation must be and appreciate your patience.
After receiving your email, our support team immediately arranged for our warehouse to contact Yodel to confirm the status of your package. Unfortunately, Yodel may have lost your package, and we are still awaiting the results of their investigation.
To ensure you receive your package as quickly as possible, we have upgraded your delivery to DPD, our expedited express service, which is faster than Yodel. We created the DPD order for you on the 29th of July. However, it missed the pickup time that day. Your package was sent out on the 30th of July, and the logistics have since been updated.
We deeply regret the unpleasant experience this has caused and will provide feedback to our team to improve our service in the future. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We will try our best to assist you.

a happy experience

Buying my chair was a happy experience. I was impressed by its comfort at a friend's house. Now I have received it. It looks even better than in the pictures and is truly comfortable!

I must say

I must say, I really like the ash grey colour. It's also incredibly comfortable, with a thick seat cushion. This is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever used!

A new chair needed

I just received my new chair, because I was sitting for a long time, and the comfort of the chair was very important to me. The seat cushion is very thick and comfortable.
