The chair is sturdy and lightweight. The assembly was made extremely easy thanks to the well thought-out parts packaging. The armrests are a little high (and I'm a tall guy). Also the seat cants forward a bit too much. I plan to buy longer 5/16 bolts and a couple of spacers at the hardware store to make the chair fit better so I don't feel like I'm sliding off the front of it. The mesh seat back is great. Over-all it's a very good quality chair at a fair price. I like it.
I wanted a desk chair that fit me (5 ft 3 inches) and found this one at Staples. They had some set up at the store so that I could be sure that it would be comfortable enough. Helping me to make the decision to buy it was that it was also on sale and we had a store coupon. It has been a great early birthday gift for me from my husband.
The chair is mildly comfortable—not much padding in the seat so if you want a firm seat that's good for you. For me not so much. The back and arm rests are comfortable but I don't sit back much. Most importantly—the chair cylinder started sinking after 1 year and only about 8 months of daily usage.
