Comfortable chair with bad hydraulics

I've had this for over 6 months now and I've kept the adjustment at the max height as I have long legs. Now towards the end of the day it sloooowly sinks me down to kiddie height. It's comfortable and quiet (I replaced the wheels so they won't scratch my floors) but if It could stay at the height I need this would be 5 stars.
I love my new Executive Chair! Very comfortable stylish and it is easy to assemble… Until you get to the arm rests. The instructions are limited no suggestions on how to best install. My suggestion you need two people for this portion of the assembly. It is difficult to hold the back of the chair and guide/stew the bolts in the side of the chair. Be careful not to screw into the side of the material. Screw one side just enough to hold it in place then screw the other side. Then lay chair on its side with the arm rest against the ground and the other rest facing up. Screw bolts in with a few turns not too tight. Flip chair on the other side screw those bolts on opposite arm rest. Continue flipping chair screwing bolts in a little on each side until secure. You do not need to make screws tight just secure. After i completed the arm rest challenge I am very happy with this purchase so worth it!
Assembly is fairly straightforward until the last step: attaching the back. That required three people. The chair would be quite good (4 stars) were it not for (1) its being pitched slightly forward and (2) much too strong a tilt tension. And with only one adjustment pedal (height) it could never rate 5 stars. It takes three adjustment pedals for that.
This is a very good chair for a big man without a big budget. I'm sure you can get better for more money but this is a very solid chair for the price. I wish the seat was deeper but that doesn't take away from the quality of the chair.
So far no problems worried about the bonded leather a bit but only paid $169 so I couldn't pass it up. It is a firm chair but does have enough padding for me I'm 215lbs. I also worry about the p65 warnings but have seen that on a lot of things more and more often. I happy with the chair I will apply leather conditioner at least once a month.
Very comfortable a little squeaky but I might have tightened the arms a bit too much. Assembly was a bit of an effort so I recommend having a partner help you with it. So far so good!
This chair was a Father's Day gift for my husband to replace the desk chair he had used in his home office for more than 20 years. He loves the new chair! It has the tall back that he likes height adjustment and the cushioned arm rests plus it "reclines". All in all he is very pleased. I would definitely recommend this product!
