A lot of people have already left reviews on how great this chair is and many have included the hints/tips on how to adjust the back of the chair. Be sure to read that part! Primarily, raise the back very slowly and listen for the clicks. Once you hear the 5th click, STOP. It will raise higher but it won't lock into place and that is why others reported it as not staying up. Simple, once you know that. I had my boyfriend put the chair together for me. He is very mechanically minded so he had it put together in about 20 minutes once I found the right ratchet tool for the bit it went a lot faster. If I had found it sooner, it would have been put together in about 10 minutes. Directions are pictorial, and he didn't have any problems with it at all. The chair itself is exactly as pictured. It is more attractive than I thought it would be in my living room and I love the comfort and many adjustments. I am 5' 6" tall, and it is comfortable and supportive of my back. I particularly enjoy the soft, molded armrests which I have at the maximum height. I do not have long legs but I do not experience any problems with my feet not touching the floor, nor have I had any difficulty with my thighs not being supported as a few others reported. The chair seat is surprisingly wide, at least 2 to 3 inches wider than most office chairs, and the depth of the seat is longer than any I have ever had. I was slightly concerned about that but it was fine. The one thing that could have made it 5 star perfect would if it didn't have so much play in it if you wobble side to side and if the armrest would have been able to be adjusted higher than they go by about another 2". Doesn't affect the ergonomics or present any problems, just mentioning it. Overall, I am very pleased with this chair and I expect it to last many years. If your budget is around $200, I firmly believe you will not find a finer chair than this one at 3 times the price. I'd definitely buy it again.
