Not the best chair... Had to buy several accessories
Color: Earth-black, Color: Earth-black
I have so much to say that I had to compose in word…
The chair was very easy to assemble and came packed with pride and care in a very nice box, but I find the design to be remarkably lacking, and the below stated demonstrates this QED. The suggestion to use the packing box as an assembly table is a nice idea, but the box is too wide by several inches to use in order to attach both arms. The sales ad stated 23.4” is the total width of the cushion, not the average sittable area. The lumbar support is laughable, and really ought to have been made inflatable if they were going to go with this route... I had to go back to my special support cushion. So do not depend on it supporting you if you have a bad back like I do. Secondly… My African-American friends have often said to me something like "Get your narrow little butt over here" because I have almost "No Butt!" - HAH!.. This chair cushion is NOT MADE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME with no butt... you will need a support cushion; either a memory foam or inflatable. The seat is poorly cushioned with a thin layer set of polyester fiber file on top of rather hard, and possibly memory foam, and is as hard as a stone. (I have decided to get an inflatable cushion for now and my go memory foam, and currently sit on top of my soft memory foam backrest... I have had to spend almost half of the price of the chair to handle upgrades.) To top it all off it also leans forward a bit instead of being properly flat or at least adjustable, and there is no tilt for that or elsewise another kind of adjustment. I feel like I am constantly sliding off of the chair and will have to add shims to the mechanism in order to correct the forward leaning tilt that is bothering me even now as I sit upon my currently only office chair. I cannot sit in this thing without both the foot rest, and my foot stool, and I am still rolling down Lombard Street (Looks that one up folks. It’s in San Francisco). (My last one was so worn out that I had no choice.) The lean (not genuine tilt) of the back is marginally passable, but a mere 150 degrees is not built for relaxing. I am also having to get an even more deeply counter-sunk gas cylinder because this one is too freaking high. Don't listen to those who say the chair is also good for short people. I am 5' 6.5" in height. This already makes it almost impossible to find any furniture to fit me because the majority of people in America seem to be geared for 6' heights. The arms are kind of nice, but the over-all vinyl covering is rather thin. It will not stand up to cats... There is also 35% less space from my last chair for my cat to sit with me without knocking the keyboard off of my lap. I will be purchasing some leather and making an overlay for the armrests as soon as possible. It is... nice to be able to raise and lower the armrests. The casters they give are rather - extremely cheap. I knew this already and had procured some proper roller blade style casters with brakes so they will actually last, and I could lock the movement of the chair, and so they also do not get balled up with fuzz like the ones they sent will. Furthermore... This chair might barely fit a plus sized person, but it is not suitable for large people even with the arms mounted at the widest. I can take my medium-sized hands held flat with pinkies on the arm rests and thumbs on my person and put them down beside my hips and snugly touch the inside of the arm rests and my personage, on either side. Please keep in mind that I am not a large person. I could not find a proper foot rest on any chair out there without adding substantially more to the cost, and also making the chair non-movable, so there went that --and I must make sure to have parts for these current "Walmart style" designs. While not a totally horrid chair, it leaves a lot to be desired and I'm stuck with it now. I give the chair a three-star rating, and hope I can stand to use it once I get the last of the accessories that now total almost half the price of the chair…
Namaste.
