Who the Gabrylly Chair is for

Good fit if
  • You are between 5 ft 5 in and 6 ft 2 in.
  • You want mesh on the back and seat.
  • You push your chair under the desk.
  • You want a seat rated to 400 lb.
  • You want a headrest you can angle.
Pick another model if
  • You want to put your feet up: pick the GYB01-FT with its footrest GABRYLLY.
  • You are 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 9 in: pick the GY1108 GABRYLLY.
  • You want a padded seat instead of mesh: pick the GYE01 with its 5 in sponge cushion GABRYLLY.

Good to know before you buy

  • GABRYLLY names a user height range for this chair. It recommends 5 ft 5 in to 6 ft 2 in, and asks you to check your height and weight before you order. Call the maker first if you sit outside that range GABRYLLY.
  • The maker's own page carries two sets of measurements. The product text gives 45.3 to 54.9 in of chair height, and the spec panel gives 46.5 to 57 in. Use the larger numbers when you check clearance under a shelf GABRYLLY.
  • Service runs for 3 years and covers chairs bought on Amazon. The GY01 manual states both points. GABRYLLY's Product Issues page lists a 24-month warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so keep your order number to hand GY01 manual GABRYLLY.
  • The chair ships flat and you build it. GABRYLLY puts the time at 15 to 20 minutes with the Allen wrench in the box. Five chair legs are packed inside the mesh seat, so unpack that first GABRYLLY GY01 manual.
  • The manual asks you to check every screw every 3 months. Loose screws on the back are what GABRYLLY names as the cause of a wobbly backrest. Keep the Allen wrench in a drawer GY01 manual.
Before you start

The manual says the chair is for one person at a time, and asks you not to stand on it or use it as a step ladder GY01 manual.

Is the Gabrylly Chair built for a full working day?

Yes. GABRYLLY says the high quality mesh resists abrasion and deformation, and that this makes the chair good for sitting 4 to 8 hours GABRYLLY. The chair is sold as a big and tall task chair.

GABRYLLY lists four supporting points: head, back, hips and hands. It adds a lumbar support to those four. Seat height, headrest, backrest and arms all adjust.

How far does the Gabrylly Chair recline?

The backrest tilts from 90 to 120 degrees, and you can sit straight again whenever you want GABRYLLY. The GY01 manual adds that the backrest locks into 3 tilt angles.

A knob under the seat sets how hard the back pushes back. Turn it clockwise to raise the resistance, and counter-clockwise to lower it GY01 manual.

Do the armrests fold up?

Yes. GABRYLLY says folding the armrests up 45 degrees lets you push the chair directly under the desk GABRYLLY. It lists this as a way to free up floor space in a small room.

The arms also move up and down. Press the black button on the side of the arm, then set the height you want GY01 manual.

Mesh back, mesh seat and the wheels

GABRYLLY puts mesh on both the back and the seat, which it says keeps air moving while you sit GABRYLLY. The same page describes the mesh as resistant to abrasion and deformation.

The chair rolls on PU mute wheels on a five-pointed base. GABRYLLY says those wheels do no harm to a wooden floor.

How to set up and use it

  1. Unpack the carton and check every part against the part list in the manual.
  2. Take the 5 chair legs out of the mesh seat, one first and then the other four.
  3. Push the 5 legs into the base core and fix them with the 5 leg screws.
  4. Press the 5 wheels into the leg sockets, drop the gas lift into the base core, then slide the telescoping cover on.
  5. Bolt the mechanism to the mesh seat with the shorter screws, with the front of the mechanism facing the front of the seat.
  6. Bolt the backrest to the mechanism with the long screws. Turn every screw to half depth first, in a diagonal order, then tighten them all fully.
  7. Push the gas lift into the center hole of the mechanism until it seats.
  8. Line up the 2 hidden black pre-installed screws in each armrest with the holes in the backrest, tighten them with the Allen wrench, then clip the armrest covers on.
  9. Take off the headrest cover, fit the headrest to the backrest with its 2 screws, and put the cover back GY01 manual.
  10. Set the seat height: twist the handle, then add or take your weight off the seat.
  11. Set the recline: pull the handle out to unlock, press back, then push the handle in to lock the angle.
Tip

GABRYLLY puts an installation video for the GY01 on its own Solutions page GABRYLLY.
