I have not yet had this chair long enough to evaluate is durability but so far so good. If you want a reasonably priced chair without all the bells and whistles this chair fits the bill. IMPORTANT: If you buy this chair in a Staples Store make SURE you take along a printout of the online advertisement which offers a SUBSTANTIAL discount.
I am very please with this chair. I typically don't like a mesh back chair but at the sale price I couldn't resist. It took me about 30 minutes to put the chair together might have taken less but I got my blue and green colored screws mixed up. It is firm for my back and adjusts easy enough. I would recommend.
First the good. Assembly a breeze. Excellent instructions along with hardware kit complete assembly in 45 minutes. During initial use the chair seemed sturdy roomy and fit my body size well. I am 5'10' and weigh245#. The first day I sat for about 1-1/2 hour of use. I did notice that the seat cushion did compress over that time where my butt did bottom out onto the wood base; which did become uncomfortable. The next day this complete compression of the seat cushion occurred in 5 minutes which soon became uncomfortable. A 3rd time later that day the cushion bottomed out in under a minute. It became too uncomfortable to sit on within 20 minutes. I wanted to rate it higher but the seat cushion is the worst with low quality foam.
For the lowest priced chair at Staples I found it to be the most comfortable I’ve ever purchased. No frills at all…just the perfect fit (for me) right off the bat! Will most likely purchase another one soon to replace the larger more expensive office chair I purchased recently.
