Was really late to put together, finally did last night. This drop was totally worth it and has finally completed my setup and matches perfectly with the theme. Was a definite upgrade from my previous cheap IKEA chair which i could only sit on for 45 minutes before my back started to hurt. I could literally fall asleep on this chair, its so comfortable. Assembly was very similar, if not, exactly the same as every office chair out there. The only thing that threw me off was that most of the bolts came pre-installed on the top half of the chair and the underside. For a while i thought this chair was delivered with missing bolts, only had 3 in the plastic bag. This was until i actually paid attention and realized they were already pre-installed. Instructions are a little lacking but are more than adequate if you sit and thoroughly read through each step. One word of caution, the plastic covers in the instruction manual that came with this chair did not match the actual model. Images show single piece plastic covers for the sides, while this chair actually has a 2 piece plastic cover design, hence what the 3 bolts that came in the plastic bag were for. Oh, and as it has been stated by people already the bottom cushion does not really work well on this chair since it doesn't have the vents by the neck section, it can still be installed it just seems awkward. Decided to only keep the little top pillow in order to help extend the life of the chair, as natural oils from our head and skin eventually start to break down these fake leather materials over time. Had an old office chair made of the same material and the arm rests were covered in the same fake leather and that was the part that started to crack first, the rest of the chair was fine. Figured it had to do with the natural oils as i barely use the arm rests and they also received a fraction of the overall stress compared to the rest of the chair yet was still the first section to give out. Without having to say, i was very happy to see that this chair does not have that fake leather material on the arm rests. I cant stop praising how much i like this chair. I am now a new AKR customer.

No, I believe the user was just saying that the armrests are made from foam with polyurethane, not the same faux leather that covers the seating and back area of the chair.
