" ... Armrests split open. ... There is a thin rubber veneer over the foam, after about a year the armrests split open. ... very surprised to see this kind of wear and tear damage ... I don't recommend this chair. ... "
" ... This chair is not even a year old and the lift has begun to fail. ... "
" ... It’s falling apart pretty badly, especially the armrests. ... They are cracking and pinch my skin as a result. ... "
" ... Also, the side armrests are starting to fall apart. ... "
" ... After 1 year, back is fraying and worn through. ... "
" ... The tilt function broke on the chair. ... Every time I set the tilt and lean forwards a little it just goes back to the most forward setting which is very uncomfortable. ... "
" ... Bought new in 2017, they were good chairs until the back snapped on one of them. ... "
" ... Chair back is short for me, back of chair isn't too comfortable ... "

" ... Took about an hour to put together with two people working simultaneously on different parts — the comfort level is awesome!! ... I found the pad that one sits on to be very cushioned and comfortable, and I’ve only used it a day but the lumbar support feels substantial. ... "
" ... Best chair for lower back pain. ... "
" ... Really is comfortable to sit on. ... "
" ... I love this chair!!! ... Good support and a great seat cushion!! ... "
" ... Seat cushion comfortable and easy enough to assemble. ... "

" ... Bought this back in 2018, it was great, then after 6 months the arms started to crack, no problem I made little cloth covers. ... "
" ... After about 4-5 months i noticed little cracks in the arm rest foam. ... And any weight on the right arm rest causes it to sag to one side. ... I have switched the arm rests and realized that its the chair and not the arm rest it self. ... "
" ... However the armrests break with minimal pressure. ... My right armrest is very wobbly now but the left one is still sturdy. ... "
" ... The left armrest has deteriorated, cracking along the inside where it has a tendency to pinch skin. ... "
" ... - Backrest connector is poorly designed and constantly needs readjusting. ... - The seat is pretty stiff too. ... "
" ... After less than 1 year the gas cylinder failed and now the chair height no longer adjusts, it just bleeds down quickly, I do not recommend this chair, and yes, I only weight 200lbs so its not overloaded :) ... "
" ... This chair fell apart after 6 months of use. ... "
" ... This chair broke at many points of articulation. ... The backrest won't lock in place and then it broke off completely, the seat won't lock in place anymore, the hydraulics failed. ... "

" ... The arm pads cracked and the seat cushionings has compacted a bit in 1.5 years of use. ... "
" ... This chair makes you sit tilting forward slightly, and makes your lower back hurt. ... "
" ... The hydraulics slowly lower over time, maybe a month or so, but they cause the seat to slowly drop so I have to raise it every once and a while. ... Additionally, the back no longer stays up - it will lean back, get caught in the leaning back position, then will loudly snap back up when I sit up. ... And the bolts from under one of the armrests came out and one bolt broke, so I can't put the armrest back on. ... "
" ... The seat is not that padded either. ... "
" ... The chair back slides up and down no matter how much you tighten the knob. ... "
" ... - Backrest connector is poorly designed and constantly needs readjusting. ... - The seat is pretty stiff too. ... "
" ... there's a wheel on the left hand side which I can greatly muscle into a very firm fit, but it only works for about a day. ... There's a ball bearing in the post that seems designed to fall into notches that they never designed in the mount that the back's post falls into . ... Back needs a longer insert into the chair base, one that could poke through the bottom if short, and not if tall. ... "
" ... I got this on Jan 7, by March 18 wheels were falling apart and leaving loose small metal balls that are inside the bearings. ... My weight is 238 lbs (108 kgs) so I think there is no reason for this chair to fall apart likes other than being a cheap chair with cheap parts. ... "

" ... This chair has been pretty good, but for well over $100 I was definitely expecting something that lasted longer than a year. ... The previous chair I bought was far less than $100 and lasted several years, I am definitely disappointed in this purchase overall due to the long term quality issues and will avoid Modway products in the future if they are designed to fail shortly after the warranty expiration. ... "
" ... Fragile as it broke just after a month of having it ... "
" ... The backrest stopped working after 3 days and doesn't hold in place despite having a lock function. ... "
" ... It's new but within a week started making noises as if the parts are made of poor quality. ... "
" ... Now my back hurts from just trying not to move while I'm working. ... "
" ... Product broke down in less than 1 year ... "
" ... That's when one of the wheels stopped turning off and on. ... I've now had it just over 4 months and don't expect it to last more than a few more months at best. ... "

" ... First, after about a year the back height adjustment would no longer hold, to the point that I had to drill a hole through the back support and put a bolt through it to hold it in place. ... "
" ... Arrived with broken chair height cylinder. ... "
" ... Now I am sitting inches too low with no way to raise the seat height. ... "
