Tried over 30 different chairs at Staples - great selection available. This particular chair has a slightly springy seat and back that left me feeling strangely energized as I sat as opposed to lethargic from being overly comfortable in a cushier chair. Leaves me wanting to 'do' rather than just sit. Although the springy feel is unusual the chair is very comfortable with great lumbar support and breathable mesh seat and backing. I'm a 6+ hour at a shot user and love the fit and feel. Easy assembly. Love it so far - hope it lasts.
I like the light trim appearance and the good adjustable back support. The vinyl covering on my last chair started to break up on both arms and several places on the seat all about the same time- I'm hoping that mesh fabric on this chair will be longer lasting. The biggest drawback is in the assembly. The pictured instructions did not make clear how the seat attached to its frame and my best guess was wrong requiring reassembly. The tight-fitting screws require some strength. Additionally attaching the arms to the seat bottom was challenging- the best approach was to place the inverted seat on a piece of furniture where the arms could hang down over the edges while being screwed in place. The hardware was packaged in well-labeled packets. Prospective buyers who don't like challenges should consider the additional cost of having it assembled at the store. Preassembled I would give it a 5 star rating.
My review of your Staples Kroy Mesh Task Chair in Black

Verified Purchase:Yes
Set-up instructions (pix and text) were adequate for me but could have been more helpful with larger more detailed graphics. The build was quick and painless and the set-up of "adjustments to individual taste" was easy and straight forward. As Staples offers a 7 year warranty or guarantee(?); this leads me to believe that the chair is of more than decent quality. Now let's see how many years of use I get out of this chair. Side note: I did get 7+ years out of my last Staples office chair.....but not quite 8 years! lol
