I purchased two of these chairs and put them both together in less than 30 minutes. The directions were clear and they work great for our little home office.

Great chair for the money!

Purchased this chair online based on other buyers reviews. It did not disappoint. This is a solid chair very easy to assemble and provides excellent lumbar support. I have a home office and was not looking for a large piece of furniture this chair is perfect. Similar to other back support chairs I had working at corporate at a fraction of the cost. I would recommend.
I bought this chair because I was experiencing back pain from my previous chair. I chose the Carder chair from Staples because it had several different ways to adjust the chair to fit the user. The maximum height for the seat is under 20". This doesn't work for me. My feet do sit on the floor but I find myself hunching my shoulders up to work at my standard 29" high desk. I need a seat that will adjust to more than 20" off the floor. I use chairs at school that adjust to 22" off the floor and I find I have no back pain and my feet are comfortable resting on the wheel base. The seat tilt works acceptably. Though the back angle adjustment does allow the user to make some modifications it doesn't even come close to providing me lumbar support. In fact most of the time my back doesn't even touch the back of the chair. To get any lumbar support from this chair (when adjusted with the back angled the furthest forward) I have to lean back. This means I'm not getting any work done. It's impossible to type and have contact with the seat back. The knurled nob at the back of the lumbar support doesn't work at all. Turning it does nothing to adjust the lumbar support. I guess it's just for decoration or to give the impression to a would-be buyer that the thing is adjustable. It's not. The chair does roll smoothly across my laminate floors. The seat is OK but I wouldn't recommend it for sitting in all day to work in. I can feel the seat plate beneath the cushion. The arms are adjustable but sit too high to allow me to roll the chair close to the desk. Even with the arms adjusted to their lowest setting the chair won't fit under my 29" desk. The desk top is only 1.25" thick. I'm skipping the arms on my next chair. I had it assembled in the store so there may have been an assembly issue that I'm not aware of. When I arrived to pick it up they had already tossed all of the paperwork that came with it and they told me there was extra hardware they hadn't used in the assembly. Overall this chair is a huge disappointment. It looks OK and the fact that there are many ways to adjust it kept me from realizing that the range of adjustments possible wouldn't fit someone my size. (I'm 5'5".) I expect that most office chairs are still made to fit large guys. This chair is causing me even more back pain than my prior chair. It's now too late to return it so I'm shopping for a truly adjustable chair. Try before you buy - be sure to sit in an office chair at a desk to get a feel for how the ergonomics of a particular chair will fit you when working.

Good price good quality

After purchasing several office chairs from various companies we found that this chair had the right balance of comfort adjustability and stability. It was a welcome find. The price was well within our budget. The store had an offer to assemble the chair for under ten dollars but I would recommend putting it together yourself. It isn't very difficult to assemble the chair and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Well worth the price and in stock so I was able to get the chair the same day I wanted it.
