My middle aged back was feeling worse for wear working from home and sitting on a kitchen chair. So I finally broke down and went to Staples for a desk chair. I can tell you I was not the first I know this because my first three selections were out of stock! My fourth selection was not at the store but they facilitated my online purchase and it was delivered free of charge to my door the next day. I do not remember his name and he was masked so I cannot describe him but the fellow that helped me was great; couldn’t do enough. And I got a good markdown. The chair itself was very easy to assemble and comfortable. A delayed but good move all around.
This is a great comfortable chair. I bought it to create a home office as I’m working from home during the coronavirus lockdown. It is shaped nicely to support my back arm rests are a good size height and leaning adjustments are nice and the headrest is a great added bonus support. Would definitely recommend.
Assembly is straightforward construction appears acceptable but not exceptional. I have only had it for a few weeks so no information on longevity. The mesh material is very rough to the touch which makes it uncomfortable if you have exposed skin (like wearing shorts). The major problem with this chair is it is it fits only a certain body type. At 6'4" the headrest landed solidly into the top of my shoulders at the highest possible setting. I've removed the headrest and the chair works OK as a mid-height chair with the top of the chair resting on the bottom inch of my shoulder blades. The arm rests are also rather narrow and brush my hips as I get in and out (at the maximum width setting). not enough to cause discomfort or difficulty but if I had more heft I would not fit. My wife is the opposite at barely over 5' she could not sit comfortably due to the depth of the seat and the lowest setting. I'm sure there is someone who this chair fits but it is not us.
The mesh pulled out from the base. I tried to repair it and found that the staples used in assembly had all been bent and were not holding i.e. clearly a manufacturing fault. FWIW I'm 175lb and use the chair 2-3 days / week so not an intense user. Pretty disappointing.
I've had this chair for 2 years. I waited before writing a review (I was not have a Staples rewards member at the time). I use this chair daily. I'm mainly a gamer but also do a bit of vlogging so a comfy chair is something I require. This chair fits the bill. I went into Staples to check to what chairs were comfy as I was using a stool prior. I found this one to do the trick. Let me preface the review: I'm 5'3 and 125 pounds. Assembly was easy took about 25 to 30 minutes. Naturally it wasn't as comfy as the chair in the display but it took about a month and change to break in. The chair is comfortable to sit in for extended periods. The mesh makes it breathable. The lumbar support is good. Armrests are adjustable up and down but are not adjustable left and right. The chair leans back about 30 degrees or so. The chair is also pretty durable. I've used it for LAN parties moved it around my apartment often and it has held up. They hydraulics in it work fine the chair hasn't sunk yet. Added bonus is that my cat uses it as a scratching post. Even though I try to get him off it it has held up over the 2 years without fraying. This is a testament of how durable the mesh is. However this isn't without it's flaw. My friend who's 6'1" doesn't like it as he's too tall. Please be aware this is for average sized people not tall people! Chairs are made for different sizes this is made for average size people! TLDR: Great chair held up for 2 years and going survived cat scratching it. DO NOT GET IF you're tall!
