2nd one- some changes for the worse
on January 18, 2026
Posted by: bk_inAZ
I like my first one, and it lasted a bit more than three years. They improved the back locking mechanism- it seems (I've only had the new one for hours now). BUT- the back's most upright position is too far forward, and the seat feels like the front is too high and the back of the seat is too low. So it puts a lot of pressure on your under-thigh behind the knee, and it feels like your knees are being pushed up into the abdomen. I write this in January, 2026. I have it adjusted as low as it will go, and it doesn't go as low as the one I had for just over three years. So my keyboard drawer just clears my knees and sits atop my squished thighs. I don't believe I will be able to get used to this. It's not comfortable for office use.

Crappy quality

Worked good for the first year or so, then the cylinder sank into the base so it isn't as tall and scratches the floor if moved.

Bad purchase decision. Staples isn;t the place to buy something like this.

Great office chair for the price with one flaw
on December 27, 2025

I replaced my old cushioned office chair with this one for the breathability of the fabric. Ergonomics are great and I just figured out the recline feature by pulling out on the height adjust handle. I'm 6' 220 lbs. an although the chair is wide enough, the high pointed plastic seat edge rails that hold the webbing in place can be painful if your thighs are on top of them. I thought about trimming them down and grinding softer edges to them, but opted to add a sheep skin seat cushion to raise above the design flaw. Everything else was good enough for me to keep the chair and not return to seek another.
