Under 34 inches tall, it slides beneath wall shelves and still rocks back when you need a break

At a Glance

  • 33.85 in tall: a low profile that tucks under shelves and fits small rooms
  • Tilt and recline: a butterfly mechanism lets the chair rock back smoothly
  • Flip-up arms: lift them to slide closer to the desk
  • High-density padded seat: thick sponge cushioning for long sitting
  • 18 to 21.25 in seat height: Class 3 gas lift for standard desks

Big executive chairs crowd a small home office or bedroom desk. This Elama mid-back office chair stands just 33.85 inches tall and about 23 inches wide, so it slips into tight spaces and under wall shelves. You still get a breathable mesh back, a seat filled with high-density sponge, and a butterfly mechanism that lets you tilt and recline. A Class 3 gas lift sets the seat height, and the armrests flip up when you want to pull in close.

Key Features

  • Small, low profile: at 33.85 inches tall and 22.83 inches wide it fits compact desks and corners.
  • Tilt and recline: the butterfly mechanism lets you rock back smoothly when you pause.
  • Breathable mesh back: air moves through the backrest to keep you cooler.
  • Plush padded seat: high-density sponge filling holds its cushion through long days.
  • Flip-up armrests: raise them to get closer to the keyboard or clear the desk edge.
  • Class 3 gas lift and nylon base: set your height, then roll and swivel on a 320 mm nylon base with casters.

What's Included

In the box: one compact mid-back mesh office chair in black, unassembled, with the tools needed to put it together.

Before You Buy

  • The backrest is mid height. The 18.8 inch backrest supports your lower and middle back but stops below the shoulders and has no headrest. If you want neck support, choose a high back chair.
  • Check the seat height against your desk. The seat adjusts from 18 to 21.25 inches off the floor, which suits a standard 29 to 30 inch desk.
  • Assembly is required. The chair ships in pieces with tools included.

Perfect For

  • Small home offices and bedroom desks
  • Desks that sit under a shelf or window
  • Dorm rooms and study nooks
  • Homework stations and craft tables
  • A second desk chair for a guest room

Care & Use

  • Wipe the mesh back and the seat with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry.
  • Vacuum dust from the mesh with a brush attachment.
  • Retighten the bolts every few months so the chair stays steady.
  • Seat one person at a time and do not stand on the chair.

Small footprint, full-size function

Clears shelves and corners

At under 34 inches tall and about 23 inches wide, this chair slides under wall shelves and into tight corners, so a small bedroom or closet office still gets a real desk chair.

Tilt and recline on demand

The butterfly mechanism lets the chair tilt and recline, so you can lean back to read, stretch or think instead of sitting locked upright for hours at a time.

Dense seat, breathing back

High-density sponge fills the seat for plush support, while the mesh back keeps air moving. Flip the arms up to pull in tight when you are typing or writing.

Compact mid-back versus high back executive: the room size decides

vs. a high back executive chair

Tall chairs swamp a small room. This one stands under 34 inches and tucks under shelves.

vs. an armless task chair

Armless chairs leave your elbows hanging. These arms support you, then flip up.

vs. a fixed-back desk chair

A fixed back keeps you upright. The butterfly mechanism lets you tilt and recline.

Small desk upgrades

Elama, a home goods brand based in Santa Clarita, California, builds office seating for real homes. The usual mistake in a compact chair is cutting adjustment to save space. This one keeps it: an 18 to 21.25 inch seat range on a Class 3 gas lift, tilt and recline, flip-up arms and a mesh back, all under 34 inches tall.
