My previous office chair was $120 on Ye Olde amazon and after almost two years, it was nearing the end of it's life. It was uncomfortable and felt like I was sitting on a box of rocks. After putting up with it for quite a while, I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a new chair;and perhaps shoot for something a bit better!
The number of chairs on Amazon is just overwhelming. The thing that kept throwing me off was when I'd read a product description and be impressed, then I'd get to the reviews and it would be five star, five star, five star, and then a bunch of one and two star reviews back to back. It certainly does make it confusing because you wonder well, is it generally good but with a few lemons due to poor quality control, or, is it just junk.
Enter the chair on this page. Impressive and just shoehorning itself into my self imposed budget which was $200 plus or minus a few dollars...
The box arrived and while it literally looked like somebody just threw all the components in a box, everything seemed to have survived it's shipping odyssey.
Assembly was pretty straight forward partly due to the fact that I did not put the arms on the chair. I needed this for my small home studio and because I need to go between working on the computer, playing guitar, and playing my digital piano, arms on a chair just don't work for me. (Yes, the arms on this do go down but just not enough for my purposes.)
The chair is pretty comfortable and seems more durable than my previous one. The casters work great, leaning back is quite comfortable, and the extra pillow for the back is a nice addition. My old chair didn't have one. I do have some lower back pain and even if I have to lean forward a bit on this chair, it still keeps my lower spine pretty straight. It's not the most comfortable thing but at the same time, my back hasn't been bothering me nearly as much since I started using it. One note on this chair is that the seat itself is a bit narrower than I'd like. The sides do stick up a bit due to the shape and after a while, it can bother my legs a bit. I can live with that though.
All in all, this is an excellent chair in the short term! If things start to go catastrophically wrong, I'll update this review. I hope they don't though because I'm pretty happy with this chair and I hate when I get disappointed by a product over time.
