I was so excited to receive this chair after reading some of the great reviews; however I am significantly disappointed in the quality and will be returning. I received the chair today and it was either used or just really poor craftsmanship; it has scuff marks and chipped metal on various pieces. Some of the screw holes are misaligned with other parts of the chair making it impossible to secure different parts (e.g. I can only put 2/3 screws to secure the armrests to the chair despite 4 different attempts). Extremely disappointed and now I'm on the hunt for another chair...
The fabric that constitutes the seat has stretched a little after two weeks of use and so I don't feel as supported by the seat. I'm only 167 lbs and the seat is sagging. The arm rests are quite hard. Elbows hurt regularly after prolonged desk work. No wonder this chair is routinely on sale. Should be another $50 cheaper than it is for this quality.
I sit for 3-8 hours a day in front of computers. The chair is comfortable and supports my back. Adjustments make the chair more comfortable over prolonged periods. Gave the old one away...NO MORE BACK PAIN!!!!
I've owned this chair for a little over 3 years. And if you need to do a real personal makeover or maybe start a business. This chair is a great crutch. The only design flaw with mine is that the front cushion will eventually tear off if you sit down repeatedly. *If your looking to pull a bunch of 12 hour days in a chair working on yourself. Then this is the way to let your butt breath and the design really works. Great chair personally I like the company but I wouldn't buy this chair again. Again the cushion tears off when you repeatedly sit in it so it's your workhorse. When you learn it reclines... it's probably time to buy a new chair. I was working all the time while I used it so thanks UPS preload. I have no idea how long it would last someone with a more entrepreneurial brain. Happy sit.
