" ... This chair took me by surprise. ... The set up for this chair was easy and the chair itself is just plain and comfortable. ... The seat is a nice somewhat squishy mesh seat and the back is nice and firm and comfortable. ... I wanted my chair to be higher and I wanted to scoot very close against my desk but the arm rests would get in the way, so eventually I just took them off. ... "
" ... After a confusing start, the chair was easy to assemble and it's quite comfortable. ... "

" ... Absolutely can’t beat this deal. ... "
" ... This is comfortable and a good price, but I would have saved a little money and purchased 2 of the other style in retrospect. ... "
" ... Value for money, I don't think it will stand up as long as a much more expensive chair, but for the cost I am very happy with the purchase. ... "

" ... The rubber welt that attempts to hold the mesh in place was coming undone the very first day of use. ... "
" ... Good chair , but when it comes to assemble, one of the back support seat bolt doesnot go all the way inn, three of way went fine and its little unstudy since forth one is left out ... "
" ... seat cushion is thin. ... "
" ... The sidearm holders do hurt your arms if you rest on it, because there’s no cushion (all hard plastic). ... "
" ... In December, the chair will no longer stay locked in any raised position. ... Now it will only stay at the lowest position. ... "
" ... The seat does not have enough padding. ... "
" ... The seat itself is still like it was brand new and not worn down flat. ... The only issue I have is with constant getting up and sitting down screws do eventually come loose and parts start to come loose and you have to re tighten them down. ... "
" ... The screw and holes did not match up. ... "

" ... Simple to assemble with easy instructions. ... "
" ... Although a number of reviewers talked about being able to assemble it in 10 minutes with the excellent instructions, as a senior it took me longer and it helped having another person hold the parts in place as I used the Allen wrench to attach the parts ... "
" ... Very easy to assemble with labeled part packages, no hassle whatsoever. ... "
" ... Super easy to assemble. ... "
" ... Its sturdy and easy to assemble. ... "
" ... But once you get into the mind of the engineer you become proficient and mind meld and then you become the engineer and you can put these awful chairs together! ... "
