The chair is built very well, but you have to take some care in putting it together. There are metal sockets which the bolts go into, you just have to make sure they are lined up. In a way this is a good thing, because at least you know the sockets will not get worn out.

The chair is very good quality, but perhaps a little stiff on the back part. But i guess they make it stiff because some chairs go soft too easily. Overall for the money, it is a very good choice. Assembly was rather simple, but have 2 people to line everything up and you will be fine. I did it myself and I am an engineer, but I still had to wrestle with the lining up of the bolts.

I say buy it... Rating: 5 / 5

I bought this chair because it states the wheels are for carpet, it was a good price and the reviews that stated it was confortable.

It is a great chair.. the wheels maybe for carpet, but not the type of carpet someone has in their home. My carpet is a little plush and the wheels don't roll well. It probably rolls fine on the style of carpet you find in offices.

Those who say it is hard to put together... probably put too much thought into putting it together and made more work that what it really is. It is very easy to put together... I only looked at the directions once.. to make sure I was putting the shaft the correct way. From the time I opened the box until the time I was sitting in the chair... 20 minutes.. and I was watching TV, too!

Just wanted a basic second chair for the office and that’s what I got. Assembly instructions are not clear and I have assembled A LOT of products. Take your time, be careful not to cross-thread any bolts (it’s seems prone to it and the holes don’t line up very well. It’s a chair and assembled it does alright. Please note that the rollers are made for carpet and you’ll have to buy different ones for hard floor or chair mats (or lay an area rug down). One star deducted for the pain of assembly. Let you know how it holds up.

Just got this chair. It’s quite comfortable, sturdy, and seems well made for a very affordable price.

Assembly was very easy and took about 15 mintues. I’m not sure why other reviewers seemed to indicate some difficulty. One small piece of advice: don’t tighten the bolts on the arms all the way until you have the whole chair assembled. That way, you leave yourself some give in the structure, making it easier to align the bolts with the holes. Once you have all the bolts in, tighten them up.
