The chair assembly was easy although assembling the wheels was a challenge. The chair is comfy looks and feels good and is good on the pocket. I will definitely recommend this.
The chair was easy to assemble and comfortable but the instructions do not explain how to secure the castors. I consider this a safety issue. They slide in where the instructions indicate but they don't stick. I am going to call the number provided to see if they can explain. Otherwise I guess I will have to use some type of super glue. I would not buy it again. I'm 5'1" so I need the additional height the castors provide. If a potential buyer is not concerned about the castors then it's a good value. I am disappointed because if not for that one problem it would be a good chair . . .but my cats like the chair!
I picked-up my chair unassembled from Staples and found that the assembly went smoothly. I had no trouble in the assembly using the included manual. I have used the chair for several days and find it comfortable. I only use it for an hour or so at a time before I will get up to do something else. I do this for my physical health not because the chair gets uncomfortable. I have not used the chair long enough to have an opinion on whether the chair will last for a long time but so far the chair feels and looks fine.
