I got this chair for a very good sale price about a year ago. So far it's been a big disappointment. Here are my issues with the chair: 1. It doesn't go high enough. I'm tall (6'2") but not abnormally tall and this chair stops a couple inches short of what would be my desired height. 2. This is my biggest complaint with the chair: the hydraulic thing that raises and lowers the chair has a leak or something that causes the chair to slowly sporadically get lower and lower until I'm basically sitting on the floor. I have to get up every 30 mins or so to raise the stupid chair back up. (BTW I am skinny so it's not an issue of too much weight). It's VERY VERY annoying to be sitting at my desk doing work and suddenly drop an inch... then drop again... then drop again. Until I'm 12 inches off the floor. 3. The arm rests are in a weird position very far forward from the seat back. When you go to rest your arms your forearms and wrists hit the armrest and your elbows just kind of hang. It's not comfortable. I ended up installing the armrests backwards intentionally so that they'd be in a more comfortable spot. 4. The mesh seat back has started to separate from the chair. It's only held together with staples and a couple of them have popped out. I'm guessing I don't have much longer before the whole thing starts coming out. I'm surprised to see so many great reviews for this chair given my experience. I would not buy again.
this chair offers a lot of adjustable features for the price. it has an adjustable lumbar support which was important to me. the chair cushion could use more padding as well as the armrest but overall i am pleased with my purchase. The Hazen chair came in at a close second when i tried all the chairs that were at the store but that did not seem to roll easily and it cost $70 more.
Good buy just gets high enough to meet my requirements for my desk. Has a tendency to sink just a bit but all you have to do is get up for a moment and it comes right back. Great that you don't have to put the arms on to complete the chair! Perfect for sitting a couple of hours at a time.
I have only used the chair for several days. However I could not be happier with this purchase. It is a good size has easy movement with comfortable contoured arms and it's lightweight. I looked for months tested numerous chairs in various stores before deciding on this chair.
