It’s ok

Chair went together ok, was so excited to get it and want to like it but description on website said the chair reclined, which was a selling point t fo me but the chair DOES NOT recline even though the description clearly stated it does. Not sure I’ll keep the chair, it’s not as comfortable as I’d hoped it would be and not being able to recline and adjust the back is a problem for me. I bought this as a computer chair and spend to much time sitting at my desk to not have a comfortable chair and the false advertising bothers me a lot.

As noted in the title, this is a comfortable chair, fits me nicely, and has a tall back (I'm 6'1). Most office chairs are not tall enough to give real back support when you want to lean back. I can lean back in this and rest my head against the back, rather than my head flopping over!
I wanted real leather rather than faux leather as it will last longer. There is also a cutout as you can see right about where your head and neck are, and that is a nice cooling feature when you have a fan blowing on you.
I am not a gamer, but this style of chair is just what I need for long hours at the computer. And yes, I secretly like the bright rad chair - eye-catching!
I would recommend this to a friend!

my husband chose this chair for his dining room chair. It is very comfy and he can flip the arms up to put it under the table. Rolls nicely. It is tall at the highest setting. I am 5'2" and my toes just touch the floor. Very nice looking chair.
