" ... Chair height won't stay!! ... "
" ... Chair broke within a month ... "
" ... The padding is very thin, and makes my butt hurt a lot after a few hours. ... This chair was supposed to replace those plastic lawn chairs meant for BBQ I was using temporarily, but is actually a downgrade despite looking nice. ... "
" ... I bought this chair back in August and it's already starting to fall apart after only moderate use. ... "
" ... Now 4 years old and the "leather"is peeling off this chair. ... Now the rest of the chair is peeling, both seat and back. ... "
" ... One of the screws just came off and for some reason it cant be rescrewed in. ... Very cheap quality and breaks down easily. ... "
" ... In fact, I ordered a second chair, but after 5 years the upholstery just wore out leaving ugly bare spots. ... "
" ... Not 3 weeks and this cheap Chinese chair broke. ... "

" ... I adjusted the knowb underneath, I checked the screws. ... I did everything possible to make sure this is the normal position of this chair and still I am in a somewhat downward angle constantly. ... "
" ... HORRIBLE Cheap Chair - Squeaks - Leans to One Side - Parts Falling Off - Worst Chair Ever! ... "
" ... Seat cushion went flat in two weeks of use. ... "
" ... The back was way to small ... "
" ... The left armrest broke off of the chair. ... "
" ... A few months after that the chair stopped staying up. ... "
" ... First issue, the back piece was warped across half of the bottom portion where it meets the seat piece, causing a weird misalignment across half of the lower back section. ... The seat on this chair is not large, so with a lumbar cushion and seat cushion added, there's about no room left for a human to sit. ... I'm a 5'5 132lb woman, and my legs hang too far off the front of the chair now to make this the kind of fit one would ever desire in an office chair. ... "
" ... The arms will dig into your thighs if you have thighs. ... It takes a combo of loosening the tension rod, puting your feet up, pulling out the lever and bending back. ... I eventually took off the back and the arms and use it as a rolling stool and added a memory foam cushion. ... "
