I took my time researching online and in office supply stores before going ahead and ordering this. In fact, I waited a couple of months before taking the leap. I even hesitated on the color. May I say that this chair far exceeds my expectations in every way, and except for one similar chair at well over $100 more at a discount supplier, this chair is far superior to EVERY OTHER chair I tested, and none of them were even close in price. I ordered the burgundy color, and it is perfect: not too bright and not murky. Delivery was within 2 days. Both boxes arrived in perfect condition. Assembly is simple. Read all directions first and be aware that you need to have two boxes before you begin assembling. I was going to wait until morning to put the chair together, but got back out of bed and did it late at night. Even half asleep it was a snap, and I am a petite middle-aged woman, so, ladies, don't be intimidated. Several of the reviewers have mentioned that the seatback tilts forward. This can be easily remedied by properly adjusting the curved metal piece which connects the seat and the seatback. Both ends attach with a knob and can be loosened and moved to your particular requirements to get a perfect fit before retightening. The arms, as well, not only adjust up and down, but also can be adjusted with the bolts under the seat wider or narrower to suit the girth of the sitter. This chair can adjust easily to give a custom fit to a wide variety of sized persons. And I can also raise the seat while seated by putting some of my weight on the footring and pushing down on the lever. I find this chair wonderfully comfortable, supportive and perfect for my needs (painting for hours at my taboret) at a price that cannot be matched anywhere else. Here are a few assembly tips: 1) Push wheels easily with base of palm into chair base; 2) insert foot ring connector; 3) insert foot ring; 4) continue with chair assembly instructions as written. This chair is a fabulous buy and can comfortably accomodate a variety of sized individuals. If you are considering purchasing this chair, don't hesitate -- you'll be so glad that you did.
