Good chair bad delivery

I bought this chair online and had it delivered to my apartment. The tape on the bottom of the box was nearly ripped off so the delivery man had to lay the box on its top to maintain the box's integrity. Luckily none of the parts were missing but part of the plastic casing around the tilt pressure mechanism had chipped off. I assembled the chair in about 30 mins. The wheels were actually the hardest part as I had a terrible time inserting two of the five wheels into the base. I'm 5'10 and the chair is certainly wide enough for me (I'm a runner and in decent shape). The headrest is another story though. The bottom part was digging into my shoulders as mentioned in a couple other reviews. I simply detached the head rest and the chair works perfectly fine without it although I wish there was a way to raise or lower the headrest like in a car as opposed to just tilting it up or down 15 degrees. However my fiancee is 5'8 and the headrest seemed to fit her head comfortably. The chair seems adequately fine despite the broken plastic covering for the tilt pressure mechanism and the short head rest. I love the mesh material and the lumbar support so I'm not going to return it.
Received chair in good condition and was fairly easy to assemble. Looks nice but what is with all of the safety stickers? There were at least a half dozen hideous labels attached to the lower seat back bracket and they looked like a complete afterthought were applied haphazardly and plain just looked awful. i peeled them off during assembly and tossed them into the trash. The chair is very comfortable but as one reviewer noted a bit on the small side. I'm 6'3" and have a long torso so the the headrest which is not adjustable for height digs into the top of my shoulder blades. If it annoys me I'll remove it but some adjustment would have been nice. The seat back is not adjustable either vertical or horizontally (to extend the seating surface). As a side note only the back reclines not the seat. With my old chair I used to work rocked back with my keyboard on my lap but that is not possible with this chair. I now sit bolt upright to do my work which is better for my posture i guess. In summary I suggest you go to the store and sit in this chair before purchase. It's a nice chair but has a few quirks that may make it not to your liking.
Arrived as promised. Easy to assemble. No missing parts or extra parts. For the money the seat is as good as anyone of the higher prices mwah type chairs I've purchased. I would recommend this chair for any work environment because Of the look cost adjustability as well as its flexibility.
Really like this chair. Seat is very comfortable; but best of all the lumbar support really fits my back. I sit at a desk a lot and before I was adding other appliances to keep my back from hurting. This replaces them all. It rolls very easily also.
I assembled this chair yesterday within 45 minutes and so far I'm very satisfied with the quality. Appears to sit very stern and comfortable and has a very clean look. The head rest is great especially when I need to give my neck a rest. Being a 6'2"/190 lb male with long legs and arms I struggle with finding chairs that accomodate me without some sort of discomfort. This chair appears to fit the bill in perfection as far as I'm concerned. I was impressed that Staples provided easy to understand instruction with segregated packs of screws for each step so there was no confusion as to what screws to use for each phase (step 1-6) which was a life-saver. I've assembles other products that require special attention just to get the nuts and bolts in workable order for assembly. The next phase with this chair purchase will be durability....to be continued
I'm extremely pleased with the purchase of my new chair. It is very comfortable and extremely easy to adjust to my liking. I spend many hours in the chair and find my back doesn't hurt like it did with my previous chair. I purchased 2 of these chairs and my son is also quite pleased how comfortable it is. I love that it is mesh and much cooler than leather or vinyl chairs.
