Save box for assembly
on December 15, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
Save the box as a jig to assemble your chair. The box arrived all banged up. Fortunately all the parts are taped to large objects inside so nothing got left behind even with the broken box. Get a 10mm long socket and a real hex key to do the job. The included tool will never be able to torque the chair together. Nice try but let's be real about that. The threads are really rough. Care and force are needed to make it work. The head piece take some jiggling to fit the bolt into the hole. Initially I thought it would never line up. It's a bit narrower than the "designer dotcom" chair pivot in the conventional mid axis so you want help bouncing out the chair is not possible. It is heavy but overall an excellent value for what it brings. The only grip would be the really hard legs that is a bit bulky and sharp on the edges. The upper portion of the chair is solid vinyl and the bottom is metal also solid. Didn't roll it down a slope yet so can't comment on the wheel but definitely I can tell it has no off road capability (stay on the mat).
Have used it for little over 2 weeks for 7-8 hrs daily - it looks and feel sturdy so far. The head rest adjustment is big plus. Though this chair kind of feels small in width; hard to have comfortable sitting position while having arms on armrest just cause of the restricted width. Other than that - good chair so far and serves the purpose.
My recommendation would be to have Staples put the chair together. It's worth the extra money. I have tightened every last thing I can and the chair is still wobbly.
I have sat in an office chair for about 45 years and this is the best I have ever had. I have had this chair for over a year and still love it. You don't sweat in this chair. The mesh is fantastic. Also the bottom mesh is firm yet flexes to your bottom and there is no bottoming out like other chairs. I can sit in this chair all day without fatigue. The head rest is also a big plus. I have been known to doze off for a few minutes for a power nap once in a while and the head rest works great. My dad is 87 and still a pastor. His old office chair is unbelievably bad so I purchased my 2nd chair for his Christmas present.
Very comfortable chair has noise which is a little bit annoying

This chair is very comfortable for sitting like another famous ergonomic but expensive office chair. The only annoying part is the noise when you sit and move back and forth on this chair.
