Purchased the office chair (model 43506) as a Christmas gift for the owner of our company.The chair was delivered quickly and put together within 2 days of delivery. We love this chair and will be purchasing another one. Super comfortable, sturdy and beautiful!
Cozy and comfy with good support. Good adjustability and I like the way the chair can lock into positions. I would say that if you are over 62 tall, maybe it would not be the best chair as the arm height may be a little too low but I am 5 11 and it is just good enough.
So far so good. Had the chair now for about 2 weeks. Had problems getting the arms on, the screw kept rolling instead of having that secure sensation, but then finally realized what I was doing wrong. Otherwise easy, and simple to put together. (BTW, unless it was an older model, that picture posted from July speaking on bonded leather is not the same chair design. The chair I received was as shown in advertisement picture. That chair didnt have a ring around the neck part like a turtle neck, and noticed the torso part didnt curve out, then in, then out, like an hour glass. Im just saying.) I bought chair for my husband, so I do have to use a pillow for my back to be completely comfortable; but again, I bought it for him, and hes Big and Tall. Otherwise love color, and design of chair.
Ok I just put the chair together -- all by myself. Ive been sitting for five years on a similar chair, purchased off craigslist for $20. The old chair had very little cushioning left under the legs and arms; it also had a tendency to shove my shoulders forward, which is bad when youre sitting for a long time at a desk. This new chair is very comfortable and supportive. The arms are spaced well for me: I can type with my elbows on or off the arms. You can choose how much you want the chair to tilt (just read the instructions on how to adjust the tilt and the height of the chair).
As to the instructions: in my package, they were located in the plastic wrap underneath the bottom seat. Strange place to put it, and I had to go to the website of the manufacturer to find that out (15 minutes). The chair was not difficult to put together, but it was challenging -- if that makes sense. I am not a genius with constructing things, so I can offer some tips to people with the same affliction:
1. As a previous poster noted, do NOT take the screws out of the packaging; leave them slightly opened so you can see the labels. As with all things, tighten screws a little bit at a time.
2. Putting the back and bottom of the chair together was the worst part. I am alone, with no one to hold the chair pieces together. What finally worked was chair back on its back and seat in front of you. However, I had to turn the whole operation a couple of times to jimmy the screws in -- they do not want to fit at first. This is the most important part: I barely put the screws in when putting top and bottom (back and seat) of the chair together at first -- maybe screwed half way in at the most.
3. When you put the entire chair onto the base, the base fits into a hole BEHIND the tension knob (black knob on bottom of chair). It does not fit into the tension knob, although it looks like it would almostttt fit. If youre like me, you would discover that it doesnt fit after you are half bent over with about 55 pounds of chair in your arms, trying to see what youre doing in a mirror. Its a good thing I just got a comfy chair, since my back is killing me.
4. The directions allege that the chair is ready to use now, but you were smart and put the screws in only half way on the bottom of the chair, so dont sit down yet! Lie down on the carpet, put your head under the chair, and use the Allen wrench to tighten those screws, which now are miraculously lined up (putting the chair arms on and having it upright seems to help). It also feels really good to lie on the floor at this point, since youre back is killing you and youre exhausted.
5. As to the bonded leather: yea, well, its not as good as real leather and it wont last as long. But it also costs a few hundred dollars less than real leather.
6. It does all the things it says it will on the description. I think sometimes people dont read the directions. After the installation instructions, there are instructions on how to tilt, raise the height, etc.
Those are my tips. Ive sat in the chair while typing. As with all new chairs (or new cars) you have to kind of find the best way to sit and break it into your body. However, it is really comfy and I feel it is ergonomically correct. I think it is gonna be good.
I bought two of these chairs for the home office that I share with my husband. The chairs have a great look and price was certainly reasonable. My husband is 61 and 260 lbs and the chair is perfect for him. He finds the lumbar support helpful and enjoys being able to tilt back in the chair. The chair is, however, too big for me. I am 56 and cannot reach my desk if I sit back in the chair. Consequently, I am using a lumbar pillow at the base of the back in order to get back support. We may try removing the arms so that I can slide further under my desk, but with the arms on the chair does not roll far enough under my desk for me to sit comfortably in the chair without a pillow.
This 43506 bonded leather big and Tall chair is absolutely terrific. Everything is solid, heavy-duty, well constructed and very comfortable, adjustable. It took me about one hour to put it together, and I did it myself without any help, which for me was great, considering Im terrible at that sort of thing. The instructions are very clear and simple with good clear diagrams/illustrations of the parts, no tools required. The chair is very heavy. I totally love it, expect it to last for many years. I got this at the biggest retailer in the world for only one thirty nine, amazing. I wish the chair I have at work was half this comfortable.

Cozy and Comfy
Cozy and comfy with good support. Good adjustability and I like the way the chair can lock into positions. I would say that if you are over 62 tall, maybe it would not be the best chair as the arm height may be a little too low but I am 5 11 and it is just good enough.
The Big Chair

Perfect for big and tall husband; not so good for smaller wife
I bought two of these chairs for the home office that I share with my husband. The chairs have a great look and price was certainly reasonable. My husband is 61 and 260 lbs and the chair is perfect for him. He finds the lumbar support helpful and enjoys being able to tilt back in the chair. The chair is, however, too big for me. I am 56 and cannot reach my desk if I sit back in the chair. Consequently, I am using a lumbar pillow at the base of the back in order to get back support. We may try removing the arms so that I can slide further under my desk, but with the arms on the chair does not roll far enough under my desk for me to sit comfortably in the chair without a pillow.
Five Star Fabulous Adjustable Chair.
This 43506 bonded leather big and Tall chair is absolutely terrific. Everything is solid, heavy-duty, well constructed and very comfortable, adjustable. It took me about one hour to put it together, and I did it myself without any help, which for me was great, considering Im terrible at that sort of thing. The instructions are very clear and simple with good clear diagrams/illustrations of the parts, no tools required. The chair is very heavy. I totally love it, expect it to last for many years.
