The chair actually stopped staying at the height about a year after purchase. It is in my home office and I don't use it daily. I adjust it higher and within a few hours it is back to the lower height. Try finding replacement parts is like pulling an elephants tooth with tweezers. I just put a piece of pvc pipe I cut to maintain the height. I did purchase the warranty for $20 and they have sent me the original cost for the chair. Now I am searching for a better chair at least I can add some out of pocket and get better.

Hi Thanks for reaching out to us about this. I'm sorry to hear you're dissatisfied with the swivel task chair. I've received your feedback and have forwarded your comments as a suggestion for future improvement. ^MS
This chair was an immediate winner the moment I sat in it. It perfectly conforms to my body and the adjustments you can make for the backrest and headrest allowed me to position everything perfectly. Leaning back feels especially comfortable even if it's not practical for work; sometimes I just need to kick back for a minute or two. My only minor complaint is regarding the mesh seat. While after 4 weeks it seems perfectly fine I'm concerned about the deterioration over time. All it takes is one loose zipper to accidentally tear the mesh apart and the rest will give out soon after - at least that's what it feels like. Hopefully it's thicker than I give it credit for but that won't be known for a while. For the price and comfort it's good value!
The chair replaces a previous version of this chair. It is comfy. My only complaint is the latch that locks it is different from prior. The prior would let you lean back about 15-20 degrees before it locked. This one doesn’t and has 3 lock positions. 90 120 and 135. The issue is when it’s locked it doesn’t go forward at all. It holds it there instead of having the movement from 90-120 before stopping. This is annoying. Not deal breaking but annoying. However this is not the only chairI have tested that does this. Past that the chair does exactly what’s needed. Proper suppor and comfortable for hours of use. Just watch your weight. If more than 275 the piston will wear quicker.
