TikTok Craze – 5 Best Cross Leg Office Chairs

Sitting at a desk all day can feel stiff. And if you've ever caught yourself pulling up your legs, sitting cross-legged, or perching like a bird mid-Zoom call, you're not alone. TikTok has turned this habit into a whole movement—literally.

Welcome to the era of cross-leg office chairs.

Yes, it's a real thing. And if you've been scrolling through the #crossleggedchair tag, you've seen some beautiful seats out there. But are they just pretty faces, or are they comfortable enough to get you through your Monday meetings?

I've picked out 5 of the best cross-legged office chairs that look great and let you sit in a comfortable position without feeling like one. Ready to upgrade your work-from-home throne? Let's go.

What Even Is a Cross-Legged Office Chair?

Good question. A cross-legged office chair (also called an "armless office chair" or "wide seat desk chair") is basically what happens when style meets comfort—minus the wheels and fussy armrests.

These chairs are designed with:

• Wider seats so that you can sit cross-legged, sideways, or however you feel.
• No arms or low-profile sides, giving your legs space to move around.
• A modern look that won't make your home office look like a call centre.

Perfect for individuals who frequently change positions, fidget, or prefer a bit more freedom than a standard desk chair allows.

You can check out the full range of them on our Cross-Legged Office Chairs page.
