Does anyone know anything about these chairs, or have any experience with them?

I bought 1 chair previously from Cosco (different brand) to try out, it looked good but was terrible to sit on, very uncomfortable and not much better than a folding chair. These look good as well but i hate buying something sight unseen.

Thanks

Have a bunch, used a bunch, they're OK. Often available on many local CLs at $10-$15 per (or less) and worth it at that price.

Not enough of an upgrade over cheap folding metal or plastic chairs to be worth spending $30+ per IMO, but they definitely are an upgrade and desperate times can call for desperate measures. Waiting and searching for significantly better chairs than these at a non-ridiculous price can be a long and arduous process (trust me, I know. )

Me too.. it was a long search, and one that frustrated me. I thought I’d never find a nice poker chair... but then, my time came, and I found these Hon task chairs for $9 each. They retail for $350each.

Searching CL netted the best results. Office supply resellers often sell matching task chairs on CL. I subsequently found another tables worth of Hon chairs, albeit cheaper cloth covered ones. And these were only $10 each.

I have the chairs pictured in OP but in leather, no complaints from my regulars. I prefer leather personally, easier to clean and doesnt hold the smells like cloth does.

UPDATE:
I went ahead and bought 4 of these chairs. For ~$30 a chair I would recommend them. 2 1/2" foam is acceptable. I'm sure they are not as comfortable as a Gasser or some others but they are also barely above folding chair price.
I had bought a couple other banquet stacking chairs and I rate this one above any of the others and way above a folding chair. I will probably go ahead and get 2 tables worth of them.

Was this the costco chair you didn't like? I'm needing a touch more height and a little more comfort than padded folding chairs. Looking at the Hercules chairs led to me finding the Costco ones to begin with, but if Hercules is that much better...

No, that one looks fine, it was not the one I didn't like.

@bsdunbar1 Did you ever follow through with buying a whole set of these? If so, how are they holding up? Would you still recommend them after 1+ year?

yes and yes
I would buy them again.
They are not a comfy Gasser, but they are 10 times better than a folding chair at a comparable price.
Buying them from bizchair.com in groups of 4 they are like $30 shipped. When I was using folding chairs I was having to weld them constantly from guys rocking or tilting in them. These chairs are still like new after constant use. Another 1/2-1" of cushion would be welcomed but they are still good IMO.

Checked your game room pics and they look great. Your review sounds great. Bought a couple 4 packs on amazon for $294 ($36.75) shipped. Would've been $292 ($36.50 ea) shipping from bizchair.com. With the 5% amazon card I'm saving a little kickback so made the choice easy.

Thanks for the responses with the reviews after you've had them for a while!
