Another day, another viral TikTok decor product—only this time, the item in question has more to offer than just aesthetics. Unofficially christened the «criss-cross chair,» the piece is an armless, channel-tufted seat that looks roomier than most. If you’re itching to get on board with the latest trend (or just really need to heed your physical therapist’s advice and take the plunge on a functional desk chair), we have good news for your home office: You can pick up your very own on Amazon.
The main selling point of the chair is its comfort. TikTok reviewers love how oversized it is; think of it as the closest thing you’ll get to working from a sofa, with the bonus of back support. With functional features like adjustable height and tilting capabilities, plus an ergonomic design (this one has a U-shaped silhouette that’s designed to release pressure on the spine), expect it to be comfortable enough to work from all day.
Though there are lots of similar models, this version of the criss-cross chair is under $150 and is also available in a wheeled version. Go with the white bouclé if you need something minimalist-friendly yet cozy—the textured touch is an easy way to add depth and interest to a fully neutral room.
«Lives up to the hype!! I love to sit cross legged while I work and have struggled to find a desk chair that works for that but this one is perfect,» writes one Amazon customer, who adds that assembly only took around 15 minutes.
There are plenty of versions available to shop online, so if plush bouclé isn’t for you, here are a few other favorites we have our eye on:
