I just picked up this chair on Saturday. I'm surprised by the review that had trouble with the assembly. I'm 75 (female) and it only took me an hour to put it together. The only difficulty was lining up the holes to attach the arms but with a flashlight I was able to do it. So far the chair is great! I love the way the seat cushion supports my legs. Much more comfortable than my old chair.
Originally I thought the chair was an okay price for a basic computer/ office chair. However 2 weeks after purchase it now makes a loud creaking noise when I sit down or get up coming from the tension spring. Staples only allows 14 days to return so I'm stuck with this chair that sounds like its about to fall apart. Even if it holds together this noise is very distracting. Would not recommend.
