It isn't a cushy leather chair but that wasn't what I was looking for. Assembly was easy the directions were very good and it didn't take very long to put together. I would not pay someone to put it together that would be a waste of money.
My wife purchased one earlier in the year for $100 less. My guess is that Staples realized it has the qualities of a much more expensive chair and so raised the price. Nevertheless I purchased one at the higher price. As you can see from the picture it has a futuristic design.
I had been looking to buy a new chair for a while. I was only interested in mesh chairs because I really enjoyed my old one (a Hyken Mesh Task Chair also from Staples 7 or 8 years ago) and wanted to try something similar. I am very happy to find this one! The chair was packed very well and the box arrived in great condition. It took me a bit under one hour to assemble the chair. The chair looks great and is comfortable for a person who appreciates mesh chair with mesh sitting area. It works well for a week now. I hope this chair will last as long as my previous chair and I think the odd should be pretty good.
