This is VIVO’s premium, higher-capacity cross-legged chair — $871.27, with 11 reviews and a 4.1★ average. It’s nearly 5x the price of VIVO’s entry-level model. Here’s whether the jump is justified.
Quick take: Steel frame with polyurethane leather and plastic alloy components, height adjustable 17.6–21.6in seat plus an adjustable backrest, 5 casters, 242lb/110kg weight capacity — more than double VIVO’s entry-level model. Only 11 reviews at 4.1★, so the sample is thin despite VIVO being an established “Top Brand” seller.
VIVO Black Mobile: quick specs
Build quality
Reviews are mixed on assembly and quality. One reviewer described the assembly as “the most frustrating” of any chair they’ve built, citing unlabeled hardware and a lift-lever piece that has to be installed in a specific, unclear orientation — they had to partially disassemble and redo it. The same reviewer also noted visible rust starting on some metal components, though not in visible areas. Another reviewer specifically warned the company advises keeping a hammer handy if you ever need to disassemble it. On the positive side, one reviewer called the foam “quite stiff but supportive” and said it doesn’t compress easily over time.
Comfort and posture support
A more critical reviewer found the backrest clamp wouldn’t hold its position and, combined with what they described as minimal lumbar or upper-back support, ended up returning the chair — noting they had a hamstring condition they’d hoped this design would help with, but it didn’t provide enough support to be comfortable. On the other hand, one reviewer specifically praised the adjustable backrest as solving a problem they hadn’t found on other cross-legged chairs, particularly useful for larger-thighed users sitting “backwards” on the seat. The lack of wheels on the footrest (unlike most competitors) was seen as a mixed bag — more stable underfoot, but easy to trip over if you forget it’s there.
Who is this best for?
This suits heavier users who specifically need the 242lb capacity and adjustable backrest height, and who are comfortable spending significantly more for a thinner review sample than most other options in this category. Given the price and the assembly complaints, it’s worth reading the full spread of reviews on Amazon before buying.
VIVO Black Mobile Cross Legged Office Chair
$871.27 · Adjustable Backrest · Wheels · Height Adjustable
VIVO’s higher-capacity model, but with a much thinner review base than its budget sibling.
How does it compare to VIVO’s budget model?
VIVO Ergonomic Cross Legged Chair
$149.99 · Steel Frame · 124 reviews · 3.9★
A fraction of the price with a far deeper review base, including confirmed Australian buyers — the better choice unless you need the higher weight capacity.
How does it compare to other cross legged chairs?
Beyond its own budget sibling, here’s how VIVO’s premium model stacks up against two other options in this comparison:
Leader Cattle Ergonomic Cross Legged Chair
$383.14 · Metal Frame · 42 reviews · 4.7★
Nearly half the price with the highest rating in this entire comparison and a genuine Australian review, though its weight capacity isn’t as high as this chair’s 242lbs.
Furmax Criss Cross Kneeling Chair
$239.99 · Leather/Metal Frame · 35 reviews · 4.4★
A third of the price, a higher 300lb weight capacity, and a better rating — though it’s an unconfirmed-in-Australia review base like this chair’s.
Which should you buy?
- VIVO Black Mobile (this one)if you need the 242lb capacity or adjustable backrest height.
- VIVO Ergonomicfor most buyers — far cheaper and much better reviewed.
- Leader Cattleif you want the highest-rated chair in this comparison at roughly half the price.
- Furmaxif you want a higher weight capacity for less money and don’t mind no AU reviews yet.
Our verdict
VIVO’s premium model offers a genuinely higher weight capacity and an adjustable backrest that some buyers specifically need, but 11 reviews is a thin sample for a $871.27 chair, and the assembly and support complaints are worth taking seriously. Unless the extra capacity is a specific requirement, cheaper and better-reviewed alternatives — including VIVO’s own $149.99 entry-level model, Leader Cattle, or Furmax — are the more proven buys.
