I ordered this chair since my mother has the same one. It helped me with my back pain. Unfortunately the screw holes on one arm don't line up with the screw holes in the chair so I've been unable to complete the assembly. Would like to send it back or preferably just get sent a new left arm.
I really wanted to like this chair looks comfortable but the arm rests are oddly too far apart and the seat cushion is very thin making it hard to sit on. Will be returning it.

Hi Maxwell thanks for replying to our product review request. We appreciate you taking to time to let us know about your experience. ^BF
Must get the protection plan. For price it is what it is. With their protection plan it’s definitely worth having for casual use. 8+ hours on it a day; I’d recommend something else.
I have seen this problem with other manufacturers as well so I will not make this a critical review however there is a problem between the size of the piston and the diameter of the hole at the center of the base where the piston becomes mounted. The engineers definitely made a mistake somewhere with either the anticipated specs of the piston or the size of the opening within the base because they do not properly fit. The issue is that I assembled the chair and slowly but surely the piston began to sink through the base to a level where the bottom of the piston began scraping the carpet. Luckily I have carpet and not wood floors otherwise you can imagine what would have happened. I imagine there are numerous manufacturers around the world for office chair pistons and the circumference can slightly vary by mere centimetres from one factory to the next so my intuition tells me that is the root of this defect. Basically the engineers didn't measure the piston radius properly to ensure the specs would fit properly into the radius of the base opening. so unfortunately it will not properly support the piston and chair unless you add wedges around the base opening. I came up with the idea of using one of those clear plastic caps which are included with laundry detergent bottles and I trimmed off the upper band so I could seat it within the base opening and now the piston sits/seats at the height where it should be. Otherwise the chair itself feels comfortable and well made. I also like the flip up arms.
