The sleek high-back we reviewed — SONGMICS’ UOBG57B executive with the tilt function — is gone from Amazon entirely, its listing deleted rather than merely out of stock, and the camouflage gaming sibling went with it. But SONGMICS itself is very much alive: the German-run houseware giant rotated its US seating catalog, and its current chairs sell through Amazon’s own retail — led by a well-reviewed drafting-height chair for standing desks. This refresh keeps the UOBG57B verdict for the used market, verifies what the brand sells now, and points executive-chair shoppers at the live alternatives.
About the brand
SONGMICS (the furniture arm of the EZPZ/Ziel group, sibling to VASAGLE and Feandrea) is no fly-by-night marketplace label — it’s one of the biggest Amazon-native houseware operations in Europe and the US. That scale is why its story here is rotation rather than exit: models churn fast, the brand endures. Our audits logged its old recliners and this executive line out; the current catalog took their place.
The UOBG57B, for the record
Our original findings stand for anyone meeting one secondhand: genuinely handsome PU executive styling, competent tilt-and-height basics, painless assembly, and responsive customer service — with budget-tier padding that compressed by year two and armrests that were the weak point. At its price it was an easy like; nothing about its retirement changes what the used units are.
What SONGMICS sells now
SONGMICS Drafting Chair, Ergonomic Tall Office Chair for Standing Desk
- Tall cylinder pairs with standing desks
- Adjustable foot ring
- Easy on the budget
- Simple assembly
- Light-duty build for marathon shifts
The current US catalog’s standout is a drafting-height task chair — mesh back, lumbar support, flip-up arms, adjustable foot ring — sold and shipped by Amazon. It’s aimed at exactly the audience this site serves: people whose standing desks spend the day half-raised and who want a tall perch that matches. Early owners rate it strongly; the review base is young, so buy it on Amazon’s return terms rather than on faith.
Where executive-chair buyers go now
The plush-high-back job the UOBG57B did has clear live successors: the Serta Fairbanks leads the budget executive tier in our Smugdesk-replacements guide, the value field runs through our under-$500 rankings, and if the budget is truly BestOffice-shaped, our BestOffice review covers that floor honestly. Bigger frames start at the big and tall guide.
Conclusion
SONGMICS remains a brand worth buying — just not the chair this review was named for. Buy the drafting chair if your desk stands as much as you do, buy the executive successors above if the UOBG57B’s look brought you here, and treat any surviving UOBG57B as a decent used chair with our old caveats attached.
