Oak Hollow Aloria ergonomic office chair review

Having reviewed some of the best office chairs on the market, I admit, Oak Hollow Furniture is not a company I was familiar with before stumbling upon the Aloria and Reina (review coming soon) office chairs. The first time I read the company name, I assumed they would exclusively sell standing desks or office desks made of oak wood. However, upon inspection, I could not have been more wrong. They do not sell desks but specialize in ergonomic office chairs and have a few great options.

Oak Hollow Aloria: Unboxing & first impressions

Oak Hollow packs its chairs very well in the reasonable-sized boxes it sends them in. The packaging is secure and easy to remove from the box, and there are clear instructions for assembly in the box. The included tools were easy to use, and it took me about 35 minutes to assemble, from opening the box to sitting and adjusting the ergonomics.

The leather seat is nicer than I thought it would be. I expected it to be cheap and worn easily, but after a couple of months of regular use by my team and me, this chair still looks brand new (photos taken at the time of writing this, 66 days into testing). This chair fits excellent in home office and corporate office scenarios. I love the look of these chairs. They are sturdy, comfortable, minimal, simple, yet capable. From the first time I sat down, I appreciated the overall comfort in the seat and ergonomic back.

Oak Hollow Aloria: Design & build quality

Oak Hollow has opted for genuine cowhide leather and high-quality mesh for this chair. These premium-level materials ensure longevity and comfort for extended uses. Most people sit at a desk for a good portion of the day. A comfortable chair is a game changer, especially one that is ergonomic and stylish.

The overall style and design of the Aloria by Oak Hollow can be described as "simple elegance." This chair exudes quality, especially in the leather version. What truly counts, however, is the sitting experience. With its lumbar support, headrest, adjustable backrest, and numerous other adjustment options, this chair does not disappoint in terms of customization.

Oak Hollow Aloria: In use

As I previously mentioned, I've had this chair in my workspace for 66 days. Many people from my team have sat in the chair and, out of many of my recent chairs that all look similar, the leather seat on this one makes it unique. So far, we have had zero issues sitting in and using this chair for prolonged sitting. I have had team members ranging from 5 foot 8 inches to 5 foot 10 inches to 6 foot 2 inches sit in and enjoy this chair. We have the standard height, though Aloria offers three height options to accommodate heights of all ranges: short, standard, and tall.

The adjustments have allowed me to set the seat height, lock my chair back if I wish, place the armrests precisely where I want them, and more. I have been able to mold this chair to me instead of molding myself to the chair.

I waited a minute to add the headrest as I loved the look of the chair without it; however, after a week, I attached it to the chair and I have not regretted it. While I don't find myself leaning my head back on the rest during every moment of sitting at the chair, having the option to relax my head while listening to a meeting with my camera off, while reading, on the phone, or while writing this very sentence is quite comfortable.

Oak Hollow Aloria: Final verdict

The Oak Hollow Aloria Series Leather Office Chair is a beautiful, leather-wrapped choice for those who prioritize comfort, adjustability, and durability in their office furniture. While its high price point and genuine cowhide recline may deter some, the overall quality and ergonomic benefits make it a valuable addition to any office setup.
