Leather Back Bonded Office Chair with Curved and Padded Arms

Leather Back Bonded Office Chair with Curved and Padded ArmsI bought this from Fry's electronics and got them to price match it to this sale online. Instant gratification, voila. We brought it home, set it up, and I've been using it ever since. Set up was pretty easy, but it takes two people to get the back screwed in (can't balance it and tighten the screws). I like the material on this particular chair because it's not mesh and it's not that glossy leather that sticks to any piece of skin that touches it (would be a nightmare in summer). The padding for your bum is a little sparse, but I easily fixed that by folding up an afghan and tucking it back. Since I lean down in this chair and recline a little, I needed more padding for my butt bone.

This chair looks great and professional. it's low enough to slide up under a desk with a keyboard tray, but goes higher for people who are taller (5'6" here, using it on the lowest setting). The chair reclines with a lock switch that locks it ONLY in the upright-non-reclined position. You can't lock it in various recline amounts, but that's okayI leave mine locked upright to try and fix my posture.

It doesn't get stuck on the carpet (no chair mat, just regular apartment carpet). It doesn't squeak or wobble. The arms are set out at an angle some so it's not entirely natural to rest my forearms on them and type.

Overall: sleek, sturdy, great buy for $108. It took me years to move up to a desk with my laptop, and now that I have, I doubt I'll ever go back. This chair helps keep my posture and body happy while I do my work!

At this point, I've had this chair about 3 weeks. I can't say anything about how nice it is after a year of ownership, but it's stood up to daily use so far without any problems. I'll update if it decides to break or wear and tear due to time/use.
