I procured this in-store at a few bucks less than full on sale as it was only a little bit more expensive than smaller less comfortable chairs. It was a little hard to assemble (needed someone to hold the top part in place) but once it was together it seemed like it was all worth it. I love the comfort level! The only possible issue is that it sits TALL even at its lowest height. I have a relatively short corner desk that I tower over. That's one thing to consider if you're getting this item.
My former chair which I had owned for about 20 years was in desperate need of replacement. At first I went with another chair only to find that it wasn't very comfortable and actually made my legs go numb after only a few minutes of sitting in it. So I sent it back and ordered this one. Assembly was mostly straightforward until it came time to attach the arms. I needed another person to help me attach the arms because of the need to "squeeze" the arms to the back of the chair before the screws could be placed into their holes. As far as comfort goes the chair is more comfortable than the previous one I had ordered but isn't quite as comfortable as my original chair. The leather makes a slight creaking sound when I rock in it. Also one of the screws that attach the seat to the gas cylinder worked itself out about a month after assembly. After reinserting and tightening it it hasn't done that anymore. One last thing is that the seat sinks slightly when I sit in it and it pops back up after I stand up. I don't know if that will be a problem sometime in the future or not in regards to the gas cylinder wearing out but it's something that I felt needed to be mentioned in this review. I bought this chair when it was on sale and I feel it was worth it at that price and would recommend it to others. I would not have bought this chair at its regular price and would not recommend anyone else buy it at that price.
