Quick Answer: “Sam’s Club office chair” isn’t one product line — it’s at least four brands sharing warehouse shelf space: Member’s Mark (Sam’s Club’s own house brand, roughly $79.98-$99, BIFMA + GREENGUARD certified, 275 lb), Serta (a licensed mattress-brand name this site has already reviewed, roughly $85-$109), La-Z-Boy (a licensed executive line, roughly $235 for the Westley Big & Tall), and Wellness by Design (a third brand name that also shows up licensed to other furniture makers elsewhere, roughly $99.98). The most useful finding here inverts the usual pattern: Sam’s Club’s cheapest house-brand chair is also its most independently certified one, carrying both BIFMA and GREENGUARD certification — something neither Costco’s Bayside Furnishings nor Walmart’s Mainstays publishes at a comparable price.
This site has already mapped Costco’s five-brand chair aisle, Walmart’s four-brand lineup, and Target’s house-brand/licensed split. Sam’s Club follows the same “one retailer, several unrelated manufacturers” pattern — but Member’s Mark is the first house brand in this series to publish third-party safety and emissions certification rather than just a weight rating.
Sam’s Club doesn’t build office chairs either — here’s who does
Like every warehouse club and big-box retailer this site has traced, Sam’s Club licenses some brand names, commissions its own private label, and lets a licensed name fill the higher-priced executive tier. Member’s Mark is that private label — and unlike Walmart’s Mainstays (sourced from unnamed “various third-party partners”), Sam’s Club’s own product listing for the Member’s Mark Mesh Office Chair specifies BIFMA compliance (the industry’s commercial furniture durability standard) and GREENGUARD certification (low chemical emissions, the same standard this site’s GREENGUARD office chair guide already covers for other brands). That’s a real differentiator: a sub-$100 house-brand chair matching certification claims usually reserved for chairs twice its price.
The lineup: four brands, one certified house label
| Brand | Arrangement | Price (2026) | Weight capacity | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Member's Mark | Sam's Club's own house brand | ~$79.98-$99 | 275 lb | BIFMA + GREENGUARD certified |
| Serta | Licensed name, built by True Innovations (see our Serta guide) | ~$85-$109 | 250 lb | Also sold at Costco, Walmart, Amazon |
| La-Z-Boy | Licensed executive line | ~$235 | Big & Tall rated | Only big-and-tall option in this lineup |
| Wellness by Design | Licensed name (same name appears licensed to Lorell and others elsewhere) | ~$99.98 | Varies by model | Headrest + lumbar-support models |
Member's Mark Mesh Office Chair
- Sam's Club's own house label: soft-touch upholstered mesh seat with foam fill, flip-up padded armrests, height-adjustable lumbar support with recline lockout, and 360-degree swivel on dual-wheel casters.
- Carries BIFMA and GREENGUARD certification per its own product listing — the first house-brand warehouse-club chair on this site to publish third-party certification rather than just a weight rating.
- At 275 lb rated capacity for under $100, it undercuts both Costco's Bayside Furnishings (roughly $99.99-$130, capacity not independently published) and Walmart's bonded-leather Mainstays manager's chair (about $49, also 275 lb) on documented spec transparency, if not always on price.

Serta Mid-Back Office Chair with Mesh Accents
- Memory-foam seat with mesh-accented back, priced within $10-30 of the Member's Mark house brand on the same warehouse shelf.
- Licensed the same way everywhere Serta sells office chairs — built by True Innovations, the same manufacturer behind Serta's listings at Costco, Walmart, and Amazon (full story in our Serta office chair guide).
- No independently published certification beyond the 250 lb weight rating — a real spec gap against the Member's Mark chair sold right next to it at a similar price.
La-Z-Boy Westley Big & Tall Executive Chair
- Executive-styled big-and-tall chair with active lumbar support — the one chair in Sam's Club's lineup built for a heavier-capacity executive use case rather than everyday mesh task seating.
- La-Z-Boy licenses its name to office-chair manufacturers the same way it does at Costco (see our Costco office chair guide) — a recognizable furniture brand, not the company directly engineering this particular chair.
- At roughly 2.3-3x the price of the Member's Mark or Serta entries, it's a tier jump, not a direct upgrade of either — buyers choosing it are paying for big-and-tall capacity and executive styling, not incremental ergonomics.
The certification inversion worth remembering
The pattern across every warehouse-club and big-box chair aisle this site has mapped — Costco, Walmart, Target — is that the cheapest house-brand chair also publishes the least independently verifiable information: Walmart’s Mainstays sources from unnamed rotating OEMs, Costco’s Bayside Furnishings doesn’t publish a weight rating at all. Sam’s Club’s Member’s Mark line breaks that pattern. It’s priced below Costco’s Bayside Furnishings and in the same range as Walmart’s cheapest mesh task chair, yet it’s the only one of the three carrying published BIFMA and GREENGUARD certification. That doesn’t make it a better chair for every use case — the Serta and La-Z-Boy options on the same shelf still outrank it on brand track record and capacity — but it does mean “cheapest house brand” and “least documented house brand” aren’t the same thing at every retailer.
Who should buy which Sam’s Club chair
- Buy the Member’s Mark Mesh Office Chair if certification transparency at the lowest price matters more than brand-name recognition — it’s the only chair in this lineup publishing both BIFMA and GREENGUARD certification under $100.
- Buy the Serta instead if you’d rather buy a licensed name with its own dedicated writeup — see our Serta office chair guide for the full True Innovations manufacturing story.
- Buy the La-Z-Boy Westley if you need big-and-tall executive capacity — it’s the only chair in Sam’s Club’s lineup built for that use case, though our best big and tall office chair guide covers higher-capacity alternatives at a similar price.
- Check our pillar guide if none of these fit — best ergonomic office chair covers flagship and value picks with independently engineered adjustment ranges beyond what any warehouse-club house brand offers.
The bottom line
“Sam’s Club office chair” covers at least four brands at three distinct price tiers — Sam’s Club’s own Member’s Mark house label, a licensed Serta line this site has already reviewed, a licensed La-Z-Boy big-and-tall executive chair, and a smaller “Wellness by Design” line. The genuine surprise is that Member’s Mark, the cheapest of the group, is the one publishing BIFMA and GREENGUARD certification — a reversal of the “cheapest house brand, least documentation” pattern this site found at Costco and Walmart.
