This chair was easy to assemble and is pretty sturdy. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and it is very comfortable. The only negative is the look of the headrest. It's actually more comfortable than it looks but I just don't find it appealing. It's definitely a great chair for the price!
The chair was assembled by the talented young man at Staples - he then placed it in my car for me:-) It is comfortable light and rolls easily - perfect for my needs.
The armrests are hard. Really hard and uncomfortable. Save your money and put it towards a used Herman Miller Aeron if you can find one. They’ll cost triple but they’ll last 20 years. Trying to find one on the internet from someone who isn’t a con artist may be challenging tho. For this chair you’ll need some unsightly padding for the armrests. I half a mind to just break the chair back down and return it but it’s an ordeal. Good luck.
I had been "surviving" on a chair I bought several years ago on Craigslist. When i finally realized it was time to move on I checked several different places before deciding on this one. Once I sat on the store display chair I knew this was it. Since it was such a great idea I also bought the red one for my wife. We hare very happy with our choices.
