Mainstays Mesh Task Chair vs edx Armless Criss Cross Legged Office Chair

Buy the Mainstays if you want a conventional rolling task chair for a desk and long work sessions. Buy the edx if you sit cross-legged or want a wide, armless swivel chair that stays put on a hard floor. The Mainstays has a 250 lb weight rating, a padded seat, casters and a rocking tilt, but no lumbar support and plastic legs. The edx has a 360° swivel, a wide seat and a rubber non-slip base, but no wheels, so you slide it rather than roll it. Owners rate the edx slightly higher on average, though from far fewer ratings than the Mainstays.

• Choose the Mainstays if you want wheels, a rocking tilt and a chair rated to 250 lb for a standard desk setup.
• Choose the edx if you sit cross-legged or want a wide, armless swivel chair that stays put without rolling away.
