I just bought this chair today, therefore this is a very preliminary review. As is my practice, I'll revise it in the future if needed.
Also, please understand that comfort is a very individual thing. I can only speak for how it fits my own back and posterior, which is pretty much perfectly. Yours, maybe not so much.
That being said, buying a new chair was the main objective of today's shopping mission. To that end, I stopped at a well-known office supply store and sat in every one of the dozens of chairs they had before I visited Sam's Club. My plan was to sit my posterior in as many chairs as possible in as many stores as possible, and buy the one I liked best. This was that chair. It fits me perfectly. None of the dozens of chairs in the office supply store fit me as well as this chair does.
I'd actually met this chair before. The floor model in the Kingston, New York club has been there for well over a year. Maybe more. It's showing some signs of wear, but that's to be expected from a store model. I've thought about buying it many times before; but being your basic tightwad, I kept putting it off.
Recently, however, the pain in my old back from my old chair got to the point that I finally admitted that one of them had to be replaced; and new backs being hard to come by, I had to settle for a new chair.
I was happy to find this chair not only still in stock at the Kingston club, but on sale, as well. Woo hoo! I pounced on it like a cat on a bird.
As comfortable as the chair is, however, there are some flaws. The paint job on the arms, for example, is less than wonderful. There are some minor runs and drips. Nothing too noticeable, mind you, especially since it's rare that anyone other than myself is in my office; but you may be more picky about such things than I am.
The assembly could have been easier, too. The hardest part was attaching the back. It's hard to line up the recessed holes in the arms with the posts in the back. It took me 40 minutes to assemble the chair, of which 30 were spent getting the recessed holes in the arms to line up with the posts in the back.
I think it may be easier to first attach the arms to the back and then to the seat, which is opposite from the instructions (which, by the way, are actually in intelligible English [as well as Spanish], which is refreshing). But I'm not about to disassemble it to test that hypothesis.
The only tool needed for assembly is an Allen wrench, which was included. That's nice. Not everyone owns Allen wrenches. The hardware appears to be of high-quality. There are no extras included, so don't lose any screws.
Speaking of screws, when the instructions refer to the "big" and "small" screws, they mean the diameter, not the length. The "small" screws are longer than the "big" screws.
I do have some concerns about how well the bonded leather will wear. It doesn't look especially durable. Bonded leather in general isn't known for its durability. I'll probably use some sort of leather conditioner on it to extend the life a bit. The rest of the chair seems quite sturdy.
All in all, what I wanted was a comfortable chair, and this one certainly is. I provisionally recommend it, that provision being that I can't vouch for how long the bonded leather will last. Time will tell. In the meantime, I'm enjoying it. My back is happy.
