I won't buy any expensive items unless I check it out therefore I walked into one of Staples stores in Brooklyn NY to choose a comfortable manager's chair.Out of all of them I liked this one mainly for its excellent seat positions the "grip" of my shoulders as well as the fact that the arms are up-foldable.I had no doubt that this chair was made especially for me!
The chair required aligning the bolts requiring a bit of effort. Once assembled it was very sturdy rather comfortable and quiet in operation. The arms would be better if they traveled up and out of the way by an additional 2" so you arms don't hit them when you drop your arms down. It would be nice if the chair could be tilted back and locked at an angle. Most people don't sit at a right angle as it is not that comfortable. I keep the tilt of the chair unlocked. Overall a very good value.
