The Staples Lockland Big and Tall Managers chair is easily the best chair I have ever owned. The chair is comfortable; the bonded leather feels like sitting on a cloud. I also really appreciate how sturdy the chair is considering that I am 6’1” and weigh 251lbs.
Good chair but disappointed to have damaged it during misleading assembly process.

Good chair even for us big guys. However I tore a hole in it trying to put it together by going against my instincts and instead following the provided directions. The horizontal seat bottom and vertical backrest are separate pieces held together by bolting to the oval shaped arm brackets. Staples brags that the instructions have been greatly simplified which means there are almost no words. They direct you to bolt the arms to the base with two bolts on each side then bolt the backrest to the arms with two bolts on each side. The problem I found was that the gap between the arms for the backrest was much wider than the back. I assumed I was to attach the bolts anyway and that everything would cinch together. That didn't work and in the process I rubbed the backrest against one of the unattached boltheads sticking through the arm ripping a hole in the side of the brand new backrest. If you are still reading this I would recommend barely starting the arm bolts then attaching the backrest then going back and finish tightening the base bolts last. Hopefully the material isn't so fragile towards tears as I continue to use the chair while coming off furlough and back to work-at-home.
