Warning: DO NOT tighten the screws when you attach the arms because you will need them to be loose a bit to attach the back. Once all screws are in then tighten them all the way But to me the value of a chair is not how it is when brand new but how fast the piston wears out over the years.
I bought this chair for my son who definitely fits into the “Big & Tall” category. He loves this chair. It is very comfortable for his hours of gaming and is a very sturdy chair.
I was very impressed with the ease of assembling this chair. Each section was laid out for easy to follow steps. It took me about 30 to 40 minutes to get it fully assembled. No guess work on what went where. Very comfortable to sit in and can see spending a long time working at my desk.
The chair was a gift. It was assembled easily. However the casters were missing. Fortunately it was a replacement and the old casters fit the new chair.
I wanted something that I could lean back and take a nap if I wanted to. (working at the computer is very tiring...) I'm 6'1" and this chair fits me real good. VERY COMFORTABLE. It pumps up fairly high if your taller than me and that is important. The only squeaking I've heard is from the leather. Bonded? whatever that means... When mounting the back cushion leave the side arm rest pieces loose in order to mount the back cushion. Its a challenge to push it against the seat cushion to line up the allen bolts so that you don't cross thread them. Also there are four plastic pieces that snap in to the arm supports that cover the bolts. Mine came with two left upper covers. It wasn't deal breaker for me not enough that I wouldn't give it five stars. Bought this on Chrismas Eve Merry Christmas...
