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.
The chair gives off a strong plastic like odor that I can't get rid of. I wiped it down several times and even put it outside in my screened in porch for two days. My office still smells like a plastic factory.
The chair was easy to assemble appears sturdy and well made however there is zero give to the seat which makes it extremely uncomfortable to sit in for any period of time. In order to make this chair work for my needs I will need to purchase a gel or memory foam cushion to go with it.
