The Reina is the second chair from Oak Hollow I have tested. As I mentioned when reviewing the Oak Hollow Aloria, Oak Hollow is not a brand that I was very familiar with. But now, after two reviews of Oak Hollow's products, I am genuinely impressed. Both of these chairs are quality chairs at a decent price. And admittedly, I wasn't expecting to like these chairs as much as I do.

Compared to the Aloria, the Reina is the more budget-friendly edition. The design language is very similar; the armrests are comparable, and the bases are nearly identical. The changes mainly lie in the seat and backrest. I've tested the best office chairs out there and for me, the Aloria is a bit nicer, but that is not to say that the Reina is poor. It's comfortable, has decent lumbar support, and has been comfortable for my team for all-day use. It relieves some lower back pain, supports better than cheaper chairs, and has excellent adjustability to help fit your body.

Oak Hollow Reina: Unboxing & first impressions

Much like the other chairs from Oak Hollow, the Reina came well packaged, with scratch guards around all the pieces in the box. Oak Hollow also includes assembly instructions and the necessary tools, which is always helpful when assembling, so you don't need to run and grab your tools. This assembly took about 40 minutes, from box opening to sitting and adjusting the seat to my preferences.

I only took a little time to adjust the Reina to my preferences; I believe that part took two or three minutes. Right away, the chair was solid, built with quality materials, and was comfortable. All wins in my book.

as tested

Material: High-density molded foam, breathable mesh
Adjustability: Seat height, tilt tension, tilt lock, armrests, lumbar support
Weight: 43 pounds
Warranty: Lifetime on components, 5 years on fabric

The Oak Hollow Reina series features a sleek and modern design that matches the same aesthetic as most other ergonomic office chairs I have reviewed. Though this brand is not as well known and it's much better priced than some of the other chair companies, it doesn't look out of place, and the average eye wouldn't be able to pick it out as a better-priced option than the more expensive big brands -- and that's a great thing. It means you can grab an excellent chair for a great price and have it look premium. The build quality is robust, the materials are durable, the foam is comfortable yet supportive, and the mesh backrest is a beautiful choice if you run warmer or work in a warm office because of its breathability.

With some chairs I've tested, the foam seat breaks down or deforms over time. At 84 days in, we have not seen any deterioration, discomfort, or reduced comfort. Besides a few scuffs and marks from being heavily used (all of which can be cleaned), this chair still looks and functions identical to when we first opened it up and put it together.

Oak Hollow Reina: In use

My team and I have spent quite a bit of time in this chair. At the time I am writing this, we have used it in our workspace for 83 days. So far, it has offered a high level of comfort for our team with different heights, weights, and sizes. Some chairs are designed for shorter people or taller people only. And, while this chair is not intended for one or the other, we have found it to be quite comfortable for people ranging from mid-5 feet tall to 6 feet 4 inches tall. There is probably shorter and taller than it would work for, but for our team, that is the height range that has tested and loved this chair.

The lumbar support is partially adjustable—allowing for up and down movement—and has reduced strain in some of our team's lower backs. The Reina also offers a seat depth adjustment, allowing those with longer femurs to get some support and better ergonomics.
