    Beautiful, simple, and comfortable

    We looked everywhere for a chair that was both comfortable and ergonomic, while also blending seamlessly with the rest of our living room décor, since that’s where it would be placed. We absolutely love this one, and it happens to be our second purchase from Branch.

    soft side chair

    Chair is very comfortable... I generally sit forward so don't need back supports or other adjustments with the exception of height. I'm satisfied with the chair. It's a nice change from the rickety old one I was using. I was a bit daunted when I saw all the pieces that had to be assembled, but with a little help from a guy stronger than I at turning allen wrenches, the chair went together pretty easily. The directions are very clear and pieces are labeled. I'd say 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes should do it. It was kind of fun once I got started.

    LOVE THIS CHAIR!

    I never thought they could make a chair that was both stylish and comfortable! I have had this chair for three months now and I work long hours at my desk. This chair offers great support for posture and great comfort for long meetings. So impressed I am going to have to get a second one for my husband since he tried mine. Worth the investment. Don’t waste your time with Amazon or Office Depot knock offs.

    Best. Chair. Ever.

    As a new WFH employee, I made it my mission to find the PERFECT desk chair that was comfortable, stylish, and ergonomic. I spent about a week researching office chairs and came across the Branch brand. After perusing the website's many offerings, I narrowed it down to the Ergonomic Pro and the Softside Chair. After speaking with Austin over on the r/branchfurniture, we decided on the Softside chair, as I like to sit cross-legged. I opted for the High-Back modification in the Limestone Vegan Leather color-way. It has now been about a month since I've had the chair, and words cannot describe how much I love it. The chair is the perfect balance of softness and firm back support, with just the right amount of cushion. I sit in the chair for a minimum of eight hours each day, and have zero complaints. If you are on the fence about this chair, take my review as a sign to ORDER IT!
