Comfy chair, very sturdy, excellent features, but doesn't breathe and has a few minor annoyances.
Edit: I'm a bit late in editing this as I thought I did a while ago. I'm changing my review to a 1 star. I found the foam in the seat did not hold up and degrades pretty quick. Was probably 4-5 months before it felt like I was sitting on lumpy concrete and started to give me hell with my back. I also came to hate the fact the seat is huge almost for someone extremely big. I'm not very big so this was super uncomfortable. I know they are supposed to have a warranty that might cover this, but it'll just do the same thing again. What happens with cheap foam. A competitor with a more expensive chair makes a point of using high density foam. Probably ends up being closer to the foam in a car seat. That's what it needed.
Have had the chair all of two days, but feel I can give a fairly realistic review in that time frame so far.
Chair is super easy to assemble, probably one of the easiest I've put together. Took me less than 10 minutes which is awesome. Most chairs I've purchased in the past become a fight and can take 20 minutes or more of fighting them.
There is a strong chemical smell, I noticed that the chair felt like it was coated in something. I grabbed a leather cleaner and wiped the whole chair down and besides a very light leather smell from the cleaner, the chair is odorless.
Chair is super comfortable, the leg/foot rest is great. Easy to flip out and use. Feels very sturdy. I'm 205lbs and to no surprise the chair holds the weight fine and the leg/foot rest feels very sturdy.
I really love the fact that reclining can be locked in place at anything between 0-130*. You just lock it in place and you're done.
Have a few cons, hence the 3 out of 5.
First is the chair doesn't breathe worth anything. It's actually pretty bad. low 60*F in the house and 30*F outside and my back and legs get pretty hot. I have a feeling this chair will end up unbearable in the summer.
The armrests are nice but also annoying. They clear my desk at 0* and a very slight tilt, but as you lean the chair back they actually get taller before they then get shorter again due to design. Means that sometimes my preferred recline amount causes the arms to hit the desk. May not matter to most, but was something I didn't catch from the pictures. Its not end of the world.
last annoyance is that the feet for the chair sit towards the back. I know this is to allow the chair to balance at a 130* recline position, but when sitting on the edge of the chair it tips. You have to sit completely on the seat. Again, not end of the world, but for some people I know this would be an annoyance just like for me.
All in all it's hard to complain for the price, it's a really nice chair all things considered. Working from home 4 days a week this might not be the best chair for me in the end, but I'll have to be fair and give it some time and see. My biggest concern is the summer months and how awful that might be.
