This chair is not designed for sitting forward. The front of the chair seat very firmly hold your legs up unlike a traditional seat whose front edge cushions the legs. The chair sits you back
I got this on a good sale and it was relatively easy to put together --- just dealing with the base updside down and attaching the pieces --- begin to thread each screw BEFORE you tighten (as the directions advise) because if you fully tighten one before you thread another one it seems to through off the alignment of the next screw. Comfy chair as I prefer all mesh chairs and I sat on a chair at twice the price in the store and did not notice a difference.
A bunch of waiting customers some of whom had not liked other Staples desks chairs heartily recommended the Kroy (some of them were there to buy second or third Kroy). Chair has worked great for me although I have no need to sit in it for a very long time which would be a better measure of the chair's comfort. What I really liked was the ease of assembly. I've heard horror stories about people who tried and failed to assemble other chairs. This was ridiculously easy thanks to great instructions-I am not the handiest person around.
Great chair especially for my back since I have 2 herniated disk. However since I got my chair on 12/20/21. It smells like mildew. I spray it everyday with Lysol and when I called Staples it was the last box. This smell is bad but I need this chair. It’s the only one that helps my back.
