This chair is sturdy and the seat is comfortable. Much better than the smaller cheaper computer chairs. If you are a bigger person, spend the extra cash and get this chair.
Being a larger fellow, I have to buy everything with that in mind. Most of the high weight class chairs are terribly expensive, so I thought I would give this one a shot because it was much more affordable.
The good:
affordable
seems fairly sturdy, particularly at this price point
attractive enough
didnt require multiple people or an engineering degree to assemble
it really is big enough for pretty much any butt to fit in it, regardless of how oversized, you could likely fit 2 small framed people in it side by side without cramming them in
the arms dont get in the way at all if you dont want them down, they swing back completely out of the way
The bad:
the casters is ships with really are junk, replace them day 1
the angle of the seat itself (not adjustable) is not optimal, it doesnt make you feel like youre sliding out of the chair, but its close. Artful arrangement of the aftermarket seat padding can alleviate this fairly well
definitely needs more/better seat padding, youll almost certainly need to address it with an aftermarket solution after being seated 3 or so hours working, your tailbone will feel like someone hit it with a hammer without aftermarket padding
if you dont NEED a seat that large, dont buy this chair, it swallows normal sized folks whole
The Ugly: Every person thats sat in the chair has commented its uncomfortable, literally every person. Big, Tall, Fat, Short, Skinny, every combination. Not a single person has said they liked the feel of it as shipped
Not great for work at home or extended computer use as shipped, I found myself shifting around trying to get something resembling comfortable after just 20 mins seated. After an hour its almost actually painful. I blame that as a combination of the seating angle and the seat padding.
Verdict:
Fat folks, and we know who we are, this is an acceptable cheap compromise for a home chair. Its cheap, doesnt feel like youre going to break it every time you sit down. It may not offer great comfort, but theres seating pads that will address that, and its worth it not to have to try and squeeze into chairs for normal folks. Considering the next step up in quality for a large chair is likely going to be 3 times the price, $600+, its worth taking the chance to see if they chair can be made to work for you, so long as youre aware that as is, its not really going to be optimal for extended seating working from home, gaming or just puttering around on the internet. And you will have to replace those casters.
This looks like a great chair but comes in many pieces which makes it daunting to put together. Also, the shipping box is quite heavy.
Recommend for those with a strong back and not daunted by many pieces.
I received the office chair with everything I needed to assemble it. It is quite heavy, so I recommend having a table or someone else to assist when attaching the back of the chair to the seat. Assembly was pretty straightforward with the exception of the height-adjustment lever. The directions have you assemble the base with the wheels and then the hydraulic piece. The next step is attaching the height-adjustment lever to the seat. In the picture in the directions it reflects a washer being placed before the screw, but after the third screw was inserted I noticed I was short a washer. There were extra pieces and I used that. Following along to the next step, I attached the arms of the chair. Once I finished with that, I started to attach the back of the chair to the seat and noticed it required three washers and, of course, there was none left. It was then that I realized I used the washers in the wrong place and why I only had three to begin with. So, after I removed the screws from the height-adjustment part, I used the washers for the back of the chair. The final step was to attach the chair to the base. Once attached, I sat in the chair and attempted to adjust the height, but it was not working. I stood and adjusted the height by lifting the chair while pulling the lever and it worked fine. After that, I sat in the chair to make sure it would work while I was in the chair and it did. I have had the chair for about a week and so far it is comfortable and I like how the arm rests can move back out of the way similar to how they are in a car. There is also a comfortable reclined position when leaning back in the chair. The only thing that would be nice is if the seat could adjust freely by sliding forward to give a little room between the back of the chair and the seat, to adjust for the lower lumbar. This could probably be adjusted manually, but it would be nice to do so with another lever. Overall, the chair is really nice and comfortable.
I love my chair but I wasnt happy with the seller. The shipping information never happened. I contacted the seller 2-3 times and I thought his answer sounded like a smart-a! I could be wrong. I would not order from that seller again but LOVE the chair!!

This Is A Good Chair- But Comes In Many Pieces-Daunting To Put Together
This looks like a great chair but comes in many pieces which makes it daunting to put together. Also, the shipping box is quite heavy. Recommend for those with a strong back and not daunted by many pieces.
Highly recommend
Comfortable, well built chair
Comfortable chair and reasonably easy assembly
