this is a very nice office chair.
i've purchased 3 other office chairs in the past 10 years. all of them were high-backed black leather and all of them were a disappointment.
i just received this one yesterday and, so far, i like this chair. i just need to see how the arm rests hold-up over the next year or so to judge durability and make a final judgement.
the assembly directions aren't fabulous but they are almost exactly the same as the directions for the other chairs i've ordered so i already knew to unpack all the bolts and washers carefully and keep each group of bolts separate and organized.
all the bolt holes have grommets, the grommets are securely seated and all the bolts mated to their grommets perfectly. and that perfect mating was a bit of a surprise. in my (limited) experience, there's usually some strong-arming required for one or two bolt/bolt holes. but there were no assembly problems with this chair. the only tool needed is an included allen wrench.
even before assembly, you can feel the leather is very supple for a chair this inexpensive.
once assembled, you can appreciate the lumbar support is excellent, the arm-rest, seat and back cushioning is very comfortable, the hydrolic mechanism works, as expected, and the casters are fair.
i still want to see that the arm rest cushioning does not crush with use. i've seen that problem twice in other chairs. if these arms hold-up i would give this chair an unqualified thumbs-up even when compared with chairs costing 3 times as much."..." Read more
