Weird dimensions. PUT ARMS ON BACKWARDS!

Chair was easy to put together and cheap (on sale). It's relatively comfortable. Seat pad and back are pretty firm which is a good thing. Stays comfortable for several hours of sitting. There are a couple weird things about the chair though. The seat (where you actually sit) is pretty wide which means the arms are also pretty wide. I'm a tall thin guy so it took a little adjusting... make sure you put the arms in as close together as you can. But that's not the weirdest thing... The weirdest thing is the position of the arm rests. When you put the arms on as instructed they're angled forward and leave a large gap between the seat back and the armrests. There's nowhere to rest your elbows unless you hunch way forward. It makes for a very awkward sitting position. HOWEVER I did find a solution to the problem which is to put the arms on backwards (left arm on right side and vice versa). This way the arms are angled towards the seat back so you have comfortable place to put your elbows while sitting upright against the seat back. All in all the chair is not bad but certainly doesn't compare to a "high end" office chair.
im 5.5 this chair suits me perfectly. Have been looking for chairs for short people by looking at reviews about complaints on the chair is too short. I found quite some reviews about that on this chair. I know it gonna be the right chair for me.
great chair only wish you could adjust the arms more

I use this chair for sewing and working from home. It has made all the difference! No more back and shoulder aches it is comfortable for hours at a time. I have only had it a month so can't speak to it's longevity but for the price it's great!!!
