Sturdy chair

Just got one. This thing is sturdy. The back and arms brackets use 1/4" thick steel plate and the bolts are quite thick. Everything on it is very secure. I'm impressed and at this price it is a great chair. I sat in almost all the chairs at one of the office stores and none felt as sturdy as this one or as comfortable. The cushion is very firm yet springy. The arms can adjust up and down as well as in towards the seat and out. The back can adjust up and down as well as in and out. I saw on a different forum one minor complaint about not being able to recline very far and that they were hoping the spring would loosen up. After sitting in it all day, I had the same thoughts but then I found something that helped. The plastic sleeve that has 3 pieces that collapse into each other that goes over the piston under the seat which is only used to make the piston look nice can remain high up on the piston. When the top section is high up on the piston, it goes into the hole under the seat preventing the chair from rocking/reclining very far. I reached under and pushed the sleeve down (it will stay down due to friction and gravity) and now it the chair easily rocks and reclines much farther (easily 2x as much). Super easy fix.

Modern, Sturdy

The chair arrived on time and was easy to assemble. Although my research indicated that this model didn't have lumbar support, I bought it anyway as the reviews were very favorable. I've had the chair for almost a month now and it's sturdy, comfortable (I use it at my desk for at least 6 hours a day), but I would have loved some arch support.

So comfortable I want one everywhere I sit!

Really comfortable seat, great contoured back, and adjustable in every way you could ever want. I’m still figuring out just how loose I want to make the tilt adjustment. I put it together myself, but it would be way faster and less awkward with help.

Odor

I ordered this chair online as it wasn't available in the store. When my husband got it put together and adjusted, I thought maybe the smell was just dye chemical smell from being packed in a box and would go away. I can even smell it on me after I have been sitting on it. After a couple of days and it not getting better, I sprayed it with fabric deodorizer and it's still stinks. It's been almost 2 weeks now and it is going back cause I think the smell it definitely mold smell.

Great office chair for the money!

This is a great chair, especially for this price range. Easy assembly and fully adjustable which is a must for the home office. Very comfortable, seems sturdy and just as good as my other office chair that I paid $80 more for on Amazon. Arrived 2 days after I ordered online.

Comfortable, good quality office chair

This chair is well made and uses quality materials. It is similar in quality to the ergonomic chairs we use in our office, but those cost much more. The adjustable armrests are solid and the adjustable backrest is nice. The mesh backrest material is comfortable. Assembly was pretty straightforward, It's made in Taiwan in case you were wondering.

We ordered these chairs for our Boardroom. The chairs look great and my board says that they are comfortable. I put all 13 of them together myself in a few hours, including answering phone calls lol. Very easy. Love the professional look of the chairs.

I'm Short - Chair is Not

Very easy to assemble and comfy to sit in, a good value for the money. However, if you are short like me (5'3") you will need a foot stool to really be comfortable. Good padding on the seat the back gives good support and surprisingly, for the money, this chair also tilts!

Good product for the price

Comfortable, thick cusion in seat, rubber armrests. Far higher quality than $75 chair I purchased on Amazon. Armrests could have more range. Doesn't have chairback angle adjustments. Item came with some damage. Inner component cracked (doesn't seem to affect performance). Seat has small tear (I guess I'll have to try to sew it up

It does its job for the price.

Cons: As many reviewers on this site have mentioned, the back adjustment is garbage and slides back down immediately after setting it, the seat tightness adjustment (what I refer to as the seat angle adjustment) locks up after spinning it left or right a full turn, after which you'll likely start stripping the threading. Pros: The cushion, also as others have stated, is fantastic. The price is also cheap, though not rock bottom. Overall: While the adjustment options seem as though they were designed to be static and added as an after-thought for marketing purposes (I'm also referring to how the arm rest width seems to be where it should be at maximum width and any smaller, would be squishing the cushion), fortunately most of the adjustments were already in the position I needed. Also of note, you can tell the machining is better, than say a $50-$100 chair, because the bolts and screws were able to be inserted and tightened by hand instead as compared to having to use a power tool for the last bit of length.
