Like so many others who have reviewed this chair recently my previous 13-year-old chair just wasn't cutting it any more. Not for an 8-hour work day from home. A new office throne was much sought after...and after trying out a handful of different ones the Kelburne is what I chose. It fits my height and weight (5'4" 145 lbs) really well and provides comfortable and ample cushioning. The seat back can easily be locked and has a good range of tension. At its loosest setting the seat back will move back with rarely any effort. The instructions were very easy to follow and the entire process of unboxing and putting it together took under 30 minutes. All of the hardware were labeled clearly and everything was packed well. As for durability I hope it outlasts to the 7-year warranty. But it's only been two weeks and way too early to tell if the faux leather will last. I envision the armrests to show wear first. All in all I am very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it!
