got mine in yesterday. First impressions are good. Construction was easy and quick. All the holes lined up perfectly. I wish the armrests could be extended a few inches higher. The cushions are perfect, right in between hard (to hold up to daily use) and soft (to make my butt feel nice). We will truly see how it holds up within a few months. The seat cushion is a little narrow for my wide behind (I am 6 ft and 185 lbs.), but I suspect that it will break in and conform to my shape. The chair recline angle is good and so is the headrest placement; I could definitely sleep in this thing if I wanted to. Ask me if you have any questions.
PiggymarI got mine yesterday, and the assembly was also very straightforward, and the parts are high quality! so far im loving the chair. however, the one critique i have is after the assembly, I tried using the recline/lock feature, and after reclining all the way back and pushing the lever to the LOCK position, when I shifted my weight forward, I would hear some cracking sounds and the chair would rush back to the initial position. I tried this maybe 4-5 times and then I stopped, thinking that maybe there was a faulty part. do any of you guys have this same "issue" or is it by design? now I dont have this problem when I just try to lock it in the first or second reclining positions. seems just like the last one.
ilumoMy best advice would be to tighten up the reclining mechanism with the knob on the bottom of the chair and to make sure the reclining lock is fully engaged.
ilumoI definitely did not have this issue. As Piggymar said I'd mess with the circular knob on the bottom that adjusts tension for the reclining feature. Mine didn't recline at all when I first assembled it, and it turned out to just be I had it tightened when I thought it was loosened.
OneaboveallIt's the most comfortable computer chair I've ever sat on, but it is also the most expensive I've ever sat on too. It's not mindblowingly comfortable, but I'd say it's worth it. The wings on the seat pad squish me a little (but I am a 6 ft 185 lb. guy). The leather seems durable, but I can't say for sure as I've only had it for a few days.
DuchessOfKvetchI know that it's relatively cheap, but $200 is still $200. When making small purchases around the $10-$30 mark people will buy a cheaper product to save $5. What people seem to forget is that when the price goes up to $200 the money isn't worth any less, and $5 is still $5. With all of this said, I think this chair is amazing value and should be an instant buy if it's within your budget.
