something in the central stem thing broke about six months after i bought it. like chunks of some metal ring started falling out of an unknown location. it now makes a horrible creaking noise when i move and it tips too much to the sides and back.

Good chair, but quality issues...
I didn't even make it 2 steps in without hitting my first issue.
One of the threaded inserts on the seatback seemed to be defective, which made screwing in one of the screws for the arm all the way impossible. After screwing it in about 1/3 of the way in, it would completely seize up and no amount of force would get it to screw in all the way. I tried unscrewing it all...

A Teacher's Blessing
We needed a replacement chair for a teacher. This was a triumph! Very supportive rolls easy and the mesh backing keeps a person cool. A great choice.

Arms move!
Love the fact I can lift the arms up when I need to move in closer to my desk or kitchen table.

Black mesh office chair
Good chair but not comfortable. I would not buy again. I sit for 6 or 7 hours so I think I need a more comfortable chair.

Super comfortable sturdy chair
This chair is priced like big box furniture, but built like office chairs 3x or 4x the price. To top it off, the chair only took 15 minutes to assemble. I bought this chair because it looked similar to my office chair at work and I wanted those features for the home computer. This one delivered that in spades!

Very comfortable chair
I was a bit nervous buying this without trying it in the store first but I've been using it for about a week and I am very pleased with the purchase. The chair went together easily in about 15 minutes and is very comfortable for my 5'3" frame. The seat and arms are faux leather but are soft and don't look cheap. The moving components (wheels lift-able armrests) fe...

Not happy with this
This is the most uncomfortable chair I have ever sat in-even worse than the old ones at work. I am sure it would be fine for someone whose back fits that support but it made me hurt worse than ever.

Does not stay up
After a half hour or so the chair goes down I have to pump the lever several times a day! So annoying!

comfortable chair
My daughter has this chair in her home office. I liked it so much that I ordered one too. I really like this chair and looks great in my office.
The only scary thing was that the box arrived torn in several places and the chair legs were sticking out. Luckily the chair appeared not damaged.
