I love this chair. Lady-friendly...The strong lumbar support was the deciding factor. I'm not sure if it would work well for a tall guy b/c the height doesn't adjust much but perfect for a "shorter" person. Very comfy; the cushioned arms are nice and long enough to actually be effective. If you like to sit indian-style, this chair works great. Supports good posture as well - very pleased.

One would think for [$] you'd get a chair that will last for a year or two. It's been 3 months and today I had to order a 2nd replacement seat. Staples refuses to let me return the chair saying I had 14 whopping days to bring it back. A month after buying it the seat was so flat & hard I had to call the manufacturer for a replacement. Today (about 6 weeks later) I asked for another because this one is going flat & lumpy. This is the last time they're willing to send a replacement. It's very simple, this chair lacks proper padding & is now so painful to sit in for any length of time. I'm now looking at either buying a replacement (not from Staples!) or having one of the seats professionally restored since I expect this 3rd one will be just as poorly made. I will never, ever, buy another chair from Staples again due to what I consider to be a very unreasonable return policy.

      Comments about Staples� Montbrook� Top Grain Leather Managers Mid-Back Chair, Black:

      My husband wanted new chair for use at his computer desk for Christmas. After trying all chairs in store, we decided this felt most comfortable and I bought one for myself too. After about 3 months of use, it is like sitting on a hard piece of wood - all cushioning in seat is gone in BOTH chairs! Very disappointing!

            Comments about Staples� Montbrook� Top Grain Leather Managers Mid-Back Chair, Black:

            This chair has created more problems then I can count. From wobbly supports to falling backwards, this chair will have you screaming for a refund. Let us first start from when I bought it. All Staples chairs look great coming out of the box. (funny how they all look the same) It reminds me of how a 40,000 dollar Lexus has parts from a 10,000 Toyota. All Staples chairs are the same. This one was fine for the first month or so-just enough time for it to go out of warranty. The side arm continuously falls off, causing the chair to throw the user backwards in a quick motion. No matter how much I tighten it, the arm piece keeps falling out. This is not the only usability problem however, as the seat is as flat as a piece of paper and hurts to sit on. It's easy to overlook these reviews, but trust me, buy yourself a high quality NOT staples chair. You will save money in the long run by not having to replace it.

              I waited for weeks for this chair to go on sale. I knew that it was the one I wanted as I had spent weeks going to one of your stores and sitting in all the chairs until I found the right fit. It took a long time but was worth it. I waited until the price was right. I used the sale plus some of my staples rewards and a gift card to bring the price down. It was well worth it. I sit in my chair at the computer every day. I only have one problem with the chair. The height the chair can be raised could be about a few inches higher. I use a soft cushion that is three inches thick when at the computer. Other wise it is great when just conferencing as is. I would not hesitate to buy more when needed

                  According to the product reviews on the product web site, the leather was fine to sit on, but the chair's padding did not hold up very well. After about a month of use the padding in the chair was flat and hard.
