The chair is easy to assemble but there is room for improvement: spring controlling the ease of leaning back is VERY strong. I finally got it to move but my maximum torque did not get it to loosen enough for me. Back too upright and would like it to move more easily. The only other issue is the height of the arms. I have the chair at maximum height and the arms are as far as they can go down. That's OK for deskwork but is "akward' for using the keyboard---especially my keyboard which is on a moveable rack that comes out from under the desk top. That makes my elbows higher than the keyboard. I pulled the arms to their maximum width and that helped. I don't want to take the arms off as they are helpful for straight deskwork. Comfort and posture are OK. Your ideas are welcome. I thought about trying to take the arms apart and modify the mechanism toallow themto go further dosn --when I want them to.
I was i need of a new comfy chair for working from home. I saw such great reviews of this chair and it was on sale so I pulled the trigger. Set up was easy and at first it feels great. The lumbar support is nice. The problem lies with the mesh bottom. I am a 6' 220lbs male. After sitting for more than a couple minutes the two hard plastic supports on the sides of the mesh seat start to dig into your bottom. You have to sit exactly in the middle but as the mesh stretches you get no more support on the sides. So basically its like sitting on super hard plastic on just the sides of your bum and leg. I bought online and didn't get to try out the chair first. I guess my bad. But even if i did try it out first i wouldn't have noticed. After trying multiple seat cushions with it i wanted to return it. Unfortunately i was past the 14 day window at that point. So now i'm on the search for a wide memory foam seat cushion to try and cover up the hard plastic sides. Not ideal. For a smaller male or an average sized woman this seat will probably fit just fine but just not for me.
I purchased this chair to replace an older one in my home office. Since I was spending a lot more time at home I wanted a chair that would be comfortable and promote good posture and I did not want to spend a lot of money. I got everything I needed and wanted with this chair. Very comfortable especially with the breathable mesh and it provides the right level of lumbar support for my back. To top it all off I paid less than $200!
Great chair that I picked up on a sale. Replaced a fake leather executive chair with this one. It's much more ergonomic and a little more comfortable. I'm 5'10 200lbs and it works well for me.
I ordered this chair snd loved it so much that my son wanted one. I ordered him one and the thing is they both arrived earlier than expected! Yes earlier!!! So happy! Thank you Staples you never disappoint!!
For the price you can't ask for much more. Offers so good lumbar support and the chair is sturdy and durable. Also the assembly instructions are easy to understand and straightforward.
