Very strong, durable chair

I ordered the first one in 2008. I still have it and it's a little loose from daily use for 12 years, but it still works. I wanted a second one and ordered it in 2020. It's the exact same chair. These chairs are very durable and large. They can carry a lot of weight without wearing out the metal. With most office chairs, the cheap metal wears out over time and even breaks. I've had chairs that only lasted a year or two. Not this one. I cannot recommend this chair enough and am glad they still…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

The best seat for tall people I have ever found.

Very stable chair with a well shaped backrest for good lumbar support. I've always preferred "executive" style chairs, but the last one I had was cheaply made. I kept watching this, then one day I spotted a "second hand" for an absolute bargain. The best I can say is that whoever bought it tried to align the screw holes for the backrest and seat and found they weren't drilled correctly, but once you press hard enough, you can You align one to align the rest. it's best if you help. My only issue

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Chair sits too high in lowest position

I agree with C. Davies and others that the lowest position of this chair is too high. I sit at least 2-3 inches taller than usual. Taller than any chair I've ever had. Even bigger than the chairs that complained about being too tall. I am a 6 foot male weighing over 320 pounds. My legs are bent down and the chair is in the lowest position. Uncomfortable due to the thicker foam on the front. It is very noticeable that I have a much smaller distance to the bottom of the table. Good thing there is

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

It was good at first, but problems quickly developed

Bought this chair because my previous work chair was at the end of its life and squeaked loudly if you even gave it a funny look. This replacement worked great at first: the finish was about average, comparable to other writing chairs of this type. Unfortunately, less than 3 months of daily use have passed and the pneumatic canister has already lost the ability to withstand any weight on the chair: it rises its full height, but as soon as it sits down, it collapses to a minimum height. Plus it…

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Do not do that! There is great regret here.

I find it difficult to sit on this chair with the wheels attached. I'm 5'8", but even at my shortest height, I can't sit comfortably with my feet on the floor. Also, the wheels move at the slightest touch, so if you're on a hard floor, your chair will roll in across the room the moment your foot touches the chair so I took the wheels off and put it on the carpet, that makes it easier/more comfortable for me to sit down but obviously I can't drive now if I have to.I got used to it remembered…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

For tall people - check out my assembly comments, they may help you.

I personally don't weigh 500 pounds. but. and that's a big ass. In any case. I need a big chair as I'm a big guy. I am very uncomfortable sitting in chairs that feel too wobbly. This is very strong and durable. Seems like an 18 wheeler could easily drive over it. All in all quite easy to assemble. The fact is that a lot of holes are drilled in the bottom pillow. Before attempting to attach the chair back, pay attention to where the front of the cushion is facing. This is indicated by a sticker.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • -

Assembled but wasn't easy

The chair fits me, supports my 400+ pounds and is comfortable. I didn't order any guns. I have assembled four previous similar chairs from other sources but this build was not easy. The reinforcement corner on the back of the chair prevented the back from simply resting over the screw holes on the seat base. according to instructions. Never had this problem with previous chairs and is frustrating. I checked the product review comments for glimpses and one mentioned it was set under the seat…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
