I assembled this myself. Directions were precise and they package each piece for each stage of construction separately. No room for TLDR here. No screwing with the wrong screw because they all look the same and Nice Pictures! Having put office chairs together before I kept thinking "ok here comes the tough part." Never really got there though a few possible gotchas if you are like I am blond when I'm not gray. For those embarking on this adventure: 1) don't break down the big box it comes in until after you are finished. Use it to hold the seat while you fasten the back on. 2) If you have arthritic thumbs make sure you have a handy allen wrench set with a comfort handle (good for any furniture assembly). 3) The casters really don't want to seat completely at first. Be firm. Make them fit all they way in or you'll tip over later when you want to set the seat by sitting on it (alliteration is extra). 4) When attaching the optional head rest set the chair on its side. Screwing things in upside down is not only screwy (lefty loosey and righty tighty get really confusing) but if you drop a screw or an allen wrench the chair back will eat them. I had to retrieve both from jaws of that beast during my trials. However I'm seated comfortably now and hope (no I insist!) this will make my work day more cheerful. Do buy Do build. And enjoy!
Needed a new chair for my home office setup. This one arrived on time fairly easy assembly. The instructions were good the packaging and color coding on the hardware provided was helpful. So far so good.
I purchased this chair less than a month ago and the mesh seat is already fraying/tearing away from the base of the seat. I am average weight for an adult male (about 190 pounds) and working from home but I would expect a chair for this price to be much sturdier. I would not recommend this chair for anyone my weight or more that expects to use this throughout the day as it likely won't last. The rest of the chair is very comfortable and highly adjustable so it would otherwise be a great product if it was able to sustain extended use.
