2 years ago I sprung for a $500 office chair that felt comfortable at the time. It would get much use so I could justify the purchase. It was on sale. Fit my very specific measurements for a small space. Seemed ideal. After about a year I began to notice hip pain likely the result of the internal wear of that high end chair. Went to Staples looking for a replacement. Tried a wide range of chairs. The Goldilocks story could go here. Some were too big or too small. Too stiff or too soft. This one was just right. And inexpensive. If it doesn’t make it two years I will regret adding it to a landfill but nothing else. It’s more comfortable quiet and lighter weight than the chair it’s replacing. Great buy if you’re consider it.
It took my husband and I over an hour to assemble (and we are really smart)! Many new ways of cursing were discovered. Bottom line do not over tighten (as per instructions) when putting together: barely turn the bolts (1/2 a turn) until they JUST catch. After it is all together tighten up with the allen wrench. We loosely tightened as we went and the seat would not go on (you'll see). Bottom line: it's a great chair very comfortable but we wished we had paid to have it assembled. :-)
