I bought this for my 16-year-old son. He uses it at his computer desk. He also plays guitar and ideally wanted a chair with quickly-removable armrests. The vast majority of chairs at Staples have armrests that can only be attached and detached by spending 20 minutes with a screwdriver. A few chairs including this one had flip-up armrests which satisfied my son. My son liked the styling and comfort and I liked the price. My only concern is longevity. I bought a similar chair about 9 months earlier and it is now having issues with the gas cylinder randomly releasing pressure dropping the seat height down to the very bottom. I must frequently stand up press the control lever to raise the seat and then sit back down. It will usually remain okay for a few hours. Then it will randomly release again usually moments after I sit down. I believe this to be an issue in the gas cylinder and ALL these "affordable" chairs use similar gas cylinders so they are probably all equally likely to exhibit problems or be perfectly reliable. It's basically a roll of the dice...
The chair is comfortable but it was a little bit of a struggle to assemble because the screws simply wouldn't go in with any ease. I actually put 2 of them together and struggled with both. Seemed as though the threads just didn't line up properly.
I love how high the back comes up and makes it much easier to sit at my desk all day. I wasn't planning on buying a new chair but when I sat on it I had to have it. I also like that the arms fold back so i can get closer to my desk if I need or want to
With working-from-home being the norm now I bought this chair for my 6’ 4” tall husband and it fits him very well. It is sturdy and stylish - the neck support is good but not in the way and the extra padding on the seat (right under where the hamstrings hit) will be comfortable and healthy for posture. He especially appreciate that although this chair is primarily (bonded) leather portions of the seat and back are covered in a fabric that will be more breathable.
