Drafting chair as Office chair
Chair fits a small space very well. It is extremely comfortable and durable. Down sides are that it sits higher than I expected and I can only take it down so far and there were no bolts to attach the arms with. I had to get some from our auto shop here, but it was easy to assemble, and I was able to do it by myself.

Manufacturers defects
The back of the chair is not sturdy enough with jst 2 screws let along when I was assembling it one of the hole was not in line with the screw so it was not screwing it properly. I also tried to seat on it, those wheels were not safe it kept skidding. In summary not a good quality product. Sorry to say that. I would not recommend it to other people.

Just OK
It's OK for the price but I already know I am going to have to replace them in 6 months or so. There is hardly any padding on the seat and after having for about two weeks we are already having to tighten the screws.

Don't waste your money!
You get what you pay for. The wheels don't even fasten in. Due to coronavirus it took longer to deliver and now the time to return is up! The cheap wheels don't even fasten in. I hate this chair and regret even dealing with Staples. I wish I could give it a -5 stars!!!

High hopes
I ordered this drafting chair for my office desk which is higher than normal. The chair arrives in good condition and was easy to assemble. However, shortly after the foot ring would not stay in position. No matter how tight I tried to secure it, it would always fall to the floor. Then the back cushion was never able to tightly screw into the support. The screws do ...

Didn't last long
I've had this chair for about a week and the seat cushion is already just about flat. It wasn't when I got it. Ok I might need to lose some weight but I'm thinking a cushion should last longer than a week?!! It also tilts slightly to one side which I find to be extremely annoying. I needed two chairs for my office glad I waited to purchase the second chair. I won't be ...

Buyer Beware - Broke after 6 weeks
Ordered this chair for my employee to use with a raised desk and it broke after 6 weeks of use. The footrest fell off and the chair leans to one side and I suspect it is only a matter of time before it completely falls apart. Buyer beware. I wouldn't waste your money on this poorly made chair. If I could give this no stars or a 1/2 star I would have.

Overall a decent chair for the price
For reference I'm 5'10" tall and weigh 163lbs. Good: Adjustments are easy and work well (except for one noted below). Assembly was simple everything lined up and no missing parts. Rolls very smooth. Gets the job done. Bad: Feels a bit rickety. Foot ring height adjustment loosens when not set at the wider part of the shaft (basically forces you to be at one set distan...

Workable
The positive on this chair is that it goes higher that the previous version from Staples however I can't understand why or who would engineer something so wobbly. It will work but I just ordered 3 so far. Will get more and hopefully the complaints don't start rolling in.

Quite nice but some assembly required.
My keyboard is higher than comfortable for a chair or stool at a standard height so we were very pleased to locate this drafting stool which is both comfortable and height-adjustable. The stool arrived by UPS in just a couple of days but it did take three tries to get it properly assembled at the height of the floor sample in the Staples store. Was it worth it? Absol...

Poor Comfort
The chair cushion is lacking in padding at the front edge. Most of the staff will not use the chair due to the poor comfort. The previous version that I had purchased from Staples had a much better design.
