I only had two problems with this purchase that I did not pursue with Staples. 1. One of the handles usable but broken at the end. (super glue in place now) 2. The two arms appear to rest at slightly different angles. Since it only affects appearance and not functionality I kept the chair.
This is a reasonable value. The chair was easy enough to assemble althought putting in two of the hex-bolts to attach the lever/back assembly required a lot of repositioning of the allen wrench due to the levers and such. I bought two. The first chair had a broken screw cover and a split plastic collar however this did not effect the operation at all. The gas lift works well and the chair is reasonably comfortable. The seat back tilts without feeling that it is going to tip over if you lean back on it. It rolls well on carpet but there is a warning on the instructions to get a different sort of caster if you use it on a hard floor or chair mat.
Overall this is a good basic chair for home office and computer. Not sure I would want to sit in it more than a few hours. It does offer good adjustability and has a good lumbar support. It does not recline back unless you fully unlock the tilt positioning control. Also the arm rests need one more lower position as I can't quite get a 90 degree bend for my elbows. The seat cushion is med-firm not at all cushy but this is not necessarily a bad thing as long as it is not used as an 8 hour/day chair. The sale price seems about right for this chair but I would not purchase for the list price.
My daughter goes to college and needed a reliable ergonomic chair for her desk one that wasn't overly big. I have one just like this that I bought at Staples years ago and have found it to be the most comfortable desk chair I've ever owned. My daughter tried my chair at home and definitely wanted one like it. When she tried the floor model of this chair at the store she said it was perfect for her needs. The instructions were easy enough and for us to assemble the chair at home. My daughter has used the chair for almost a week now and loves it.
I love my new chair! Might want to work on the little ring on the wheel assembly. We purchased two chairs and had difficulty getting the wheels to go in on both. It was something about the little wire ring on the shaft that was the issue.
