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.

The chair is comfortable if you sit on…

The chair is comfortable if you sit on it in a gaming position, but it is also described as an office chair and for me it did not work that way - I could not arrange it into the right height and position to sit at a desk as advised by my osteopath. I have arranged to return it and having dismantled it (not easy with the heavy ironware) and re-packed this is now the third day that the collection has been cancelled with no notification from Boulies, and the third day that I have had to drag the very heavy box to the front door and back, putting out my back and shoulder each time in the process and undoing the good work of the osteopath. I'm not at all happy with this returns process and whilst the fault may be with DPD, I would still expect Boulies to be checking up with them having promised me that they would collect today without fail. This chair has resulted in me having more pain than I began with and a lot of frustration with the after sales service.

Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're very sorry to hear that your chair did not meet your expectations, and we truly regret the inconvenience you've encountered.

Our gaming chair is designed with a 95° initial backrest angle, intended to provide full back support while leaning back. The lumbar support follows the natural curve of the spine to promote a more ergonomic posture. However, if you need a chair that offers a more upright or slightly forward-leaning position for focused work, we recommend our OP Series, which is specifically designed for high-intensity office use and offers additional support in those postures.

Regarding the return process, once the chair is repacked in its original packaging, we arrange a DPD pickup at a time that suits you. Please be assured that we never cancel scheduled pickups without the customer's request. Unfortunately, our account does not have visibility into cancellations made by the DPD driver. We can only help reschedule after they refuse to pick up. We've also reported this issue to DPD and shared your feedback with our warehouse team to help improve this process in the future.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused and appreciate your patience and understanding. If there's anything else we can assist you with, we would be happy to help. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

What a fantastic British company

What a fantastic British company. I ordered a chair from them three years ago when my better-known-brand first choice were unable to give me any timeline for delivery. The chair was delivered promptly and is well built and very comfortable. So, I love the chair but three years on it turned out my sisal carpet wasn't so keen, so I decided to change the rolling casters for fixed casters. I placed an order without checking with Boulies and apparently chose the wrong ones. Someone at Boulies looked at the order, recognised that they wouldn't fit the chair I had bought three years earlier and changed the order to the correct ones and organised a refund for the difference in cost, all overnight. Correct casters arrives a couple of days later and are now fitted. Brilliant service.

Still waiting...

They use Evri for delivery, so I'm still waiting for replacement casters over a week after I ordered them.

Hello, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delivery time and truly appreciate your patience.

Typically, our orders are shipped from local warehouses in the UK, USA, or Australia. In the UK, we work with carriers such as Yodel, DPD, and Royal Mail. However, in some cases where certain accessories are out of stock locally, we may arrange for them to be shipped directly from our factory to ensure faster delivery. This process usually takes around 10 working days.

When placing your order, an estimated delivery time is displayed based on the chosen shipping method. For items shipped from the factory, delivery is sometimes handled in cooperation with EVRI.

We understand how important fast delivery is and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please be assured that we've shared your feedback with our logistics team to help improve local stock availability and reduce reliance on factory shipments, aiming to shorten customer wait times in the future.

Thank you again for your understanding. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Two lots of Damaged Parts, and Still no Good Complete Chair!

My wife purchased a Boulies Master Series chair for me as a Christmas present, upon opening the box it was clear that it was far from packed well. When I inspected all the parts there was a cut/tear in the seat cushion, both armrests had imperfections on the metalwork and the wheelbase was chipped and dented. Not what you would expect for something costing £599.99!
On the 3rd of January I contacted Boulies via the chat facility, after chatting for some time a replacement seat cushion, two armrests and a wheelbase were arranged to be sent out.
On the 8th of January I received a seat cushion, which arrived in a box for a Robot Lawn Mower Perimeter Wire Free! The two armrests and the wheelbase arrived late on the 11th of January. These arrived in a plain cardboard box within a larger damaged plain cardboard box, which had several holes and rips repaired by clear parcel tape. The packing of these parts was far from good.
So, I am now left with seven damaged parts! Boulies Chairs did offer me to keep everything (not sure why I would want to keep several damaged parts) and accept a £100 refund.
The latest offer was for me to keep everything (again I am not sure why I would want to keep several damaged parts), and they will ship me a new chair in 45 days when they receive new stock from their factory in China!
Let’s see how the new chair is packed and what condition it arrives in!

The silver wheelbase looked very worn when they first arrived, but customer service was very helpful and sent a new one quickly.

5* Customer Service

Contacted customer services with a small fault to one of our chairs. They replaced the seat and it arrived in a couple of days. Five star recommendation, excellent communication and customer service

Responsiveness from the company and prompt action.
We had bought an office chair from Boulies in January 2024. Sadly the L arm broke in July ( possibly due to faulty screw?). I contacted customer services and reported it. Their site is very easy to use, I uploaded photos and a response came within hours. Boulies sent us a replacement arm for the chair within1-2 days! Very impressed with their service!

Overall great service provided.

Bought a chair from them. Much cheaper than others similar in design and style. The service provided was excellent. I was kept up to date with the delivery tracking all the way. Highly recommended.

At first my Boulies chair appeared good quality, but after 1 -2 years I am now looking into alternatives.

First, not long after purchasing a Boulies Master Chair I noticed one arm rest has split, I thought this could of potentially done by myself or daughter so left it. A month or 2 later I noticed the other one had begun to split. I contacted Boulies who sent me free replacement armrests.

Less than a year later and the replacement arm rests have also split, must be a common issue. Over the last few days I've now found the chair seat adjustment is now faulty, it keeps popping the chair up and will not stay in place longer than a few minutes.

Very disappointing as spent around £300 for a quality chair which would last 5+ years, however after 2 years I'm not back in the marketplace, looking at other reputable brands.

Hi purchased the Boulies Master Series

purchased the Boulies Master Series, which si now in its second year of use. However, magically, the left armrest has lumps in it and is all degraded at the side when i've hardly ever used it. Also, some of the metal parts of the chair are all rusted, so it isn't even fit for lasting over two years. I mostly rest on my right arm to use the mouse and, or use a controller when gaming. Boulies Master Series sounds like a quality product, but have been left disappointed that just under tow years, some parts of the chair aree now very tacky Although this is a more affordable chair than the competitors, I expected this lasting over two years. I contacted Boulies and they said I could receive replacements but it would cost me. These should be sent out for free just due to the not fit for purpose. The left arm has hardly ever got used, so it's very odd this material has gone like this.

Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you've experienced.
Regarding the lump on the left armrest, this issue stemmed from an earlier production formula aimed at creating a softer feel. The armrest top pads have upgraded, and this problem should no longer occur. We also understand your concern about rust on the metal parts of your chair. Most of the metals we use are aluminum alloys, which are not easy to rust. This is not something we’ve encountered before. Our support team will be reaching out to you via email to gather more information and investigate this further.
According to our warranty policy, since your warranty period has exceeded 2 years, we are offering paid replacements. However, the replacement is offered at the warranty price, not the original retail price.
We appreciate your understanding. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other concerns.

Boulies was my second chair purchase.

Boulies was not my first port of call when I decided to replace my old gaming chair. My first choice, based on price and description, was a disaster. Boulies saved the day. I ordered a Ninja Pro. Their chair is solid. It has all of the features promised. It looks good. It is supremely comfortable. It was very affordable and was delivered on schedule. I am delighted with this chair and would recommend Boulies chairs to anyone who is either very tall or weighs over 120 Kg.

Disappointing product

I bought the EP460 office chair and I'm highly disappointed. Although the chair was easy to assemble and has lots of adjustability. The chair feels cheap and flimsy. Foot rest feels like it will break off at any point. Back rest feels like it will snap. Height adjustment on the headrest is flimsy and will not stay in it's position. Cheap allen key that stripped most of the screws when putting them in. I had high hopes for this chair after reading the reviews but sadly it has not delivered.
