Comfortable but flawed

The chair was quite comfortable and functioned well - until it started wobbling and making a grinding noise when tilting. Unfortunately it has a design flaw with the tilt mechanism. The tilt axle rides in plastic bushings that wore out completely and cracked after about 1 year. For reference I'm about 225 pounds. Maybe if you don't tilt or weigh less you'll get more life out of it. Now whatever warranty it has is pointless because the flawed design will keep leading to breakage. And 3rd party replacement tilt mechanisms won't help you because the hole pattern on this is smaller than normal.
This is the second of this type of chair...very comfortable and you can sit in it all day. Had to return due to poor construction....screw holes missing in chair back making it impossible to put together. Second attempt was better.
Using this office chair at the office actually bought this chair for all office staff. They were easy to assemble and they provide great support. Staff loves the look of it and chairs were affordable for the quality.
This is a great chair. Assembly is a bit difficult for one person - and if holes are not drilled precisely correctly in the back of the chair there is nothing to do but call Mfg. and get their advice. I returned first one for an exchange and the second one went together much more easily. Still a bit much for a single pair of hands
