Great chair; very comfortable and worth the purchase.
What I have learned from many years of purchasing and putting together chairs like this is it's always best to buy a chair upon which the arms are separate from the body of the chair. There are many chairs on the market that are put together such that the entire support of the chair rests on the arms connecting the bottom of the chair to the body of the chair. That is way too much pressure on the screws that hold the arms on. This chair is not like that. You can actually put this chair together WITHOUT the arms and the chair will function properly. First, the parts of the chair were packaged very nicely. Everything was wrapped separately inside the box to protect against damaging the soft fabric of the two parts of the chair (back and bottom). Very easy to put together - intuitive and the directions were better than many I've seen. When you apply the arms, there is "give" in the application point of about an inch where you can tighten the arms closer to the body or farther away from the body giving yourself more space. I chose to tighten the screws farther away from the body so I can sit cross legged. When you apply the back of the chair to the bottom, there is the same "give" in the application point of about an inch where you can give yourself a "deeper" seat or a "shallower" seat. I chose to tighten the screws farther away from the seat so I can sit cross legged. The arms of the chair will adjust higher - which I use while I am on conference calls to appear more "relaxed". When I want to pull my chair closer to the desk, I can adjust the arms down and they slide under the desk perfectly. The leg rest slides out pretty far - I'm surprised how far this goes - and you can slide further away or closer to you depending upon if you want to extend your legs straight out or cross them. When not in use, it slides neatly back under the seat. I do not personally like to use a recline feature on an office chair. To me, it's asking too much of a moderately priced chair to perform that function (even if advertised as a main feature). That is not what an office chair is for - and I feel it's just going to wear certain points out faster than necessary. If I want to recline or relax, I go the couch or bed. Instructions for the recline feature on this chair is included but I did not try it. I believe there is also a "rock" feature. Again, I'm not going to use my office chair as a rocker. I am pleasantly surprised the back of the chair is just higher than the top of my head. I'm tall (5'9") and I am usually disappointed in the height of chairs. This chair does not have an adjustable head rest but it's just the perfect height for me. From the looks of the chair in the pictures, it really looked like it would be "huge" and just a bit "too much" and I would be swallowed up by it. It's just the perfect size. Not too big that it takes up too much space around my desk but big enough that I feel the chair hugging around me. I think this is going to really help my posture too because my old chair was so uncomfortable that I found myself always sitting on the edge of it like I was trying to get away from it (LOL) and this chair encourages me to actually sit back and relax into it. I purchased the beige chair because it was one of the three colors that was going to arrive quickly. I didn't want black again and I'm not brave enough for white. The beige is a beautiful color. Very calming. I am very pleased with my purchase and hope the seat holds up. Obviously the seat is the first thing to wear out on a chair no matter the size of the person using it. The back of this chair is so comfy though I hope if the seat does wear out quickly, a cushion will help because this chair is a dream. Read more
