This chair is very comfortable and I am 6 4 tall and near its weight capacity. So far after a day of use It doesnt feel at all wobbly and no creaks or noises. The chair arrived quickly (I 2/day shipped it Sunday and got it on Tuesday noon). It arrived without any damage or missing pieces.
It does rock / recline and one of the pull bars will lock it in that position. The other pull bar raises and lowers it.
It is a leather chair, so sitting on this with bare back/leg skin will stick as usual.
As for putting it together, I would suggest a 2nd person. The real trick is attaching the back to the seat. It requires you to put the back upside down against your stomach and then pull the seat with both hands back into the L/bar to align the bolt holes. At this point you will either need to hold this heavy awkward load with one/hand to put in the bolts OR have a 2nd person do it.
Also, very important when attaching the back to the seat, I suggest only very lightly putting in the 2 bolts nearest to the center of the chair and not putting in the other 2 bolts. Then stop attaching the back and instead attach both arms (lightly) to the chair. This is because the arms are heavy wood and will NOT bend to fit the screw holes. Just lightly put in both bolts on both arms. Then go back to finishing the bolts attaching the back to the seat, and finish by tightening the bolts on the arms.
In all of this, make sure the bolts are going straight down into the hole and not sideways or you will strip the bolt or worse strip the bolt hole.
Comfy Chair, assembly much easier with 2nd person
