One of the things that is the worst abot these reviews is so many of them are written shortly after the chair is purchased. Hard to get a read on durability. Well I figured SINCE Im back online shopping for ANOTHER office chair a scant 16 months after I spent $170-ish dollars on the last office chair I might as well help some folks out while Im here Bought this chair in the beginning of DEC 2021. Things were good for the first few months until April of 2022 when the pad from the right arm snapped off one day and I tried to push myself up in my seat. The plastic houseing that holds the screw from the bottom pf the pad into the fram snapped. I used JB Quik Weld which worked for a few months but eventually that gave way as well. I now have the pad affixed with a healthy amount of packing tape (fits in beautifully with the decor) Then in October of 2022 the lift started to give up. Id be sitting down working and start dropping and dropping until Id bottom out. SOme days I have to readjust it once and it hold again for a while some days Im re-adjusting every 15 minutes for what seems like forever. Now finally in FEB of 2023 is when things reached a head. The holes for the screws from the base plate into the chair rounded out so now the chair sits askew on the base plate. Slants forward and to the left. If I hold mysel fup with my foot its ok but a lot of days when Im don working my lower back is wrecked from using my core uscles to stabilize
This chair sucks. Not only did it have broken pieces upon unboxing but it’s the most uncomfortable chair I’ve sat in. I don’t understand all the 5 star reviews. Can’t return it what a joke!
