First of all I sat in this chair inside Staples and it was perfect; they delivered it and it’s extremely difficult to put together, the directions are useless; the lever that raises and lowers the chair is so far behind you that you have to turn around to use it while sitting in the chair instead of it being upfront, the lumbar support doesn’t move at all, it’s just a stationary lumbar lump. It is not comfortable and I am giving it away, get that, giving it away!
The chair is okay, but I specifically bought this chair because it stated the seat's lowest level was 16". It is more like 18 or 18.5. Also, the tension knob really does not make any difference. It's hard to twist, and I did not notice any difference in the tension. I would not buy this chair again.
I haven't had the chair long enough to give an honest overall review because I consider longevity important as well but so far the chair is okay. I have all sorts of joint problems. I work from home and I'm in that chair at least 12 hrs a day , ( with breaks that is). I have one hip replaced and two knee replacements and my back is almost hopeless. so far this chair is serving me well. I did get rid of my administrative chair that I have only had for maybe three years. I past it on and replaced it with this chair. so far I have no regrets.
Love the chair, but the CRRREAKING is intolerable.

Great chair, wonderful. But after about a month, it started this LOUD creaking, the loudest chair creak I've ever heard. Like, CRRRAAAAACCCCCKKKKK!!!!! You can hear it across the house. Right now I'm sitting on a cheap folding chair on a pillow. Tried tightening all the screws, spraying the mechanisms with lubricants. Nothing works. Just a huge disappointment, because except for this, I love this chair.
