The chair was easy to assemble. So far the chair is comfortable. I am worried about the mesh seat though. It is doing well for now but it is only two weeks old and will have to wait to find out about its durability. At least I bought the extended Staples warranty to go with it. Over all it seems to be a decent. comfortable and sturdy chair.
Only a few steps in assembly were more difficult than they ought to be (suggest adding back to seat before arms or base). There is very limited adjustability and the lumbar support keeps slipping down. But it rolls and operates smoothly.
