Like the chair when I first tried it out last summer. It supports my back just in the right spots.

Accurately described. It is comfortable flexible height adjustments great for the back. Love that the arm rests move up to make it easy to adjust to desk height. Great purchase!

I bought one of these chairs a while ago for my daughter. It was so comfortable I ordered one for my son and another for myself. I was so pleasantly surprised with how easy these were to put together. Great quality chairs.

3 Years of Heavy Use What to Expect...
on January 13, 2021
Posted by: Jon O.
I bought this chair 3 years ago and have consistently used it for a minimum of 10 hours per day. I work from home and use this chair during work which is where the 10hrs of sitting per day comes from. I also use it while gaming and just sitting in general so actual usage is often much more than just the guaranteed 10 hours per day. My one complaint with the chair is that all of the foam in the chairs seat and armrests is crushed flat now. The backrest also has most of its foam crushed except for the headrest area. It is now providing much less support and comfort to the rear and lower back than before. I have a seat cushion that I have placed over the seat and a soft blanket draped over the back to make up for the crushed foam. It is actually painful to sit in now for extended periods(>45mins) without the added cushioning I put in place. Positives: - No peeling of finish on materials/leather/coatings etc. - Sturdy I am confident the chair will never structurally break from normal use - Stable good center of balance will not easily tip over - No missing parts - Easy to assemble with clear instructions Cons: - Crushed foam (became a problem at 2yrs) - Very minor cracking only on the perimeter edges of back and seat. Not anywhere your body would be in direct contact with while sitting. (became a problem at 2yrs) - Has gotten progressively more squeaky over time much more so during my 3rd year of owning but this is to be expected with chairs that are assembled this way. (became a problem at 2yrs) If you have a cat it will very quickly shred the leather materials just from climbing up and sitting on top of the backrest. Though it was very cute at first. Note this will hold true for most every leather chair I just happened to recall this experience as I was writing this. Now take into account I probably use this chair a lot more than the average buyer would so don't let me scare you away from it. It is an all around good chair for the price point. I have and will continue to recommend it to others. I am currently looking to purchase a new chair however I will not be purchasing this chair for myself again. Just as a note that some people might find helpful I have consistently weighed between 170-195Ibs for as long as I have owned this chair.

Good Chair at a Reasonable Price = Good Value

The Staples Emerge Vortex Bonded Leather Gaming Chair is very very comfortable. It appears to be well made (I weigh 180 pounds) and the adjustments for seat height and reclining are simple and easy to use. I've only had this chair for one week so I currently do not have an opinion on the long term quality of the faux leather. As with many things that will likely depend on how much the chair is used and how it is handled. I indeed recommend this chair which by the way goes on sale periodically. Look for the sale in the Staples "weekly ad" the sale price doesn't always show up when simply searching store inventory.
