Help me identify a screw head please

This goes to my office chair. I am visually impaired and can tell this is not a phillips or flathead. It's starting to come loose and when I go to Home Depot/Lowes I don't want to feel like an idiot.

Welcome to the forums.

You will need a hex key to tighten that.
Most are SAE (American) sizes but on some furniture you may find metric sizes.

It would probably be best to pick up the combo set of folding hex keys. Comes with SAE and metric.
There are many versions of the hex key sets from folding to pouches of individual keys in all sizes.

Thank you! I always thought hex wrenches were one size, didn't realize they came in different sizes.

In the image, in case you are wondering, all I see is a circle, I couldn't tell it was a hex wrench,
