First the plastic is thick and sturdy. The chair is heavy and not easily tipped over (I tested it). The fabric on the seat is mesh-covered to keep your fanny cool and heavily padded for comfort. The back is comfy and cool with excellent and adjustable lumbar support. Putting the thing together was a dream. It took less than 20 minutes used only the tool provided and (this is what really impressed me) the packaging of the small parts was individual by step number. Each and every screw and connector was in a separate small plastic bag and marked by Step and part number. So easy. Even the bags were connected so as not to be easily lost and they could be ripped off when ready to use. The arms are adjustable both up/down and in/out to give your fanny more room. The seat tilts back or forward up and down and the back adjusts up/down and in/out. Lastly the lumbar support has an adjustment as well. I can only imagine that the individual who complained about the back coming off didn't follow all the directions and missed installing the part E that keeps that from happening. This chair is one of the most amazing chairs I have had the privilege of sitting in in the past 40 years of working in desk chairs. purchased more of this brand slightly less expensive for my entire office. Well worth the full price and getting it on sale was a gift.
My son picked it out after sitting on a number of chairs in the back of the building. He wound up up liking a termapitic (sic) chair that was listed at $299. We agreed to check out selections at other stores before making purchase. As we were walking out my son noticed four other chairs off to the side of the front of the building. The four chairs were on sale. We decided to try them out. I had resigned myself to going to another store. Much to my surprise my son loved the chair more than the higher price version he had picked out. The chair was listed at $199 but had a sale reduction of $100. The chair at $99 was better than the two chairs he picked at $299. He's happy (hard to do for a 17 year old) and I and my wallet are happy too!
The Carder Mesh Desk Chair is very comfortable and flexible. The price was right and so far I am quite pleased with the chair. My goal in purchasing a new chair was comfort and to avoid a Bonded Leather chair. The new Carder chair accomplished my goal and so far I am pleased.
Loved my old chair. Wife wanted one with a mesh back so she could look through & see if anyone had left a message on the answering machine. 30-minutes ago I finished assembling chair (not too difficult for someone with 10 thumbs!) I am sitting in the new chair as I type. It seems comfortable. I am sure it will work fine. Wife is happy.
I got this chair on sale for $99. I was looking for a good solid chair for my poor not-so-solid back. At the time I had just moved into a new office which I had furnished with throw-offs just to get started. I was also being treated for sciatica - stress bad office ergonomics and what not had crippled me up. My doc recommended that I invest in a decent chair. He showed me the ones he'd purchased for his office staff but they were well over $300 and out of my price range especially since I had to pay the doc too. So off to Staples I went looking for a deal. I sat in every chair in the store but this one had a few features back pain suffers should note: 1. Lumbar support - it isn't the greatest or most adjustable support on the market but it does the job. 2. Tilt-Lock: You can tilt this chair and lock it in a semi-reclining position which takes pressure off of your low spine. Most chairs tilt but won't lock in the recline position. 3. Seat adjustment: for sciatica sufferers this is a must. You can tilt and lock the seat in a number of positions. I find myself changing it throughout the day for the best comfort. Overall this is a good chair for the money and yes my back has improved since I invested in proper seating for my new office. I only gave it four stars because the seat itself could use a bit more padding but overall it's worth the money even at regular price. A super value at half off!
The chair is a light copy of a classic. It works well except it is limited in the ability to raise the seat to a full lebel for a taller user. The tilt mechanism is good and the appearance is ecdellent. I can't say how durable the chair is but it is good for a home office or a starter desk. The price/value is excellent and it appears to be durable. I'd purchase it again.
