I waited a while before writing this review to see how this chair lasted. I bought this chair to replace the Mesh Back Fabric Task Chair 51463-cc which failed after about 6 months. This chair is still going strong after about a year and still works like new. It's hydraulic piston holds position and it moves with ease. It is comfortable even after hours of use and is worth the extra dollars I paid over the Mesh Back Chair. I expect that this chair will last for years.
The young man who waited on us at the Watchung NJ store was professional and personable. He is an excellent representative of Staples.He even brought the box to our car.
