Big chair, good quality, with a trick to assembling it
When I assembled this chair, I ran into a problem that I was eventually able to solve, but I couldnt find any instructions that would have shown me how. So to save yourself some time and stress: when you attach the back of the chair to the seat, you will need to connect a metal tongue protruding from the back piece to a similar part protruding from the seat. But it may seem like the piece from the back isnt long enough for the two parts to connect properly. What I didnt realize at first is that you might have to pull the part sticking out from the back with some force in order to get it into position.
The reason is that the part on the back is meant to move in and out: it actually operates the mechanism that makes the lumbar support protrude when you sit up straight but retract when you lean back. So if its not sticking out far enough, just pull it smoothly but firmly until it comes out all the way, and you should be able to connect the parts as per the instructions without difficulty.
This is a big, strong, sturdy, comfortable desk chair. Its a good choice for a biggish person who wants a lot of support while sitting. The price is quite reasonable. But it takes up a fair amount of floor space, its heavy, and the arms are wide set, so if youre not a tall person, you might not be able to rest both your elbows at the same time. I suspect that a medium-to-small person might be happier with a more modestly sized alternative.
