Not the most comfortable chair I sat on but the easiest to put together

been sitting on an old office chair for decades when my hubby surprised me with this for my quilting cave. what a difference! worth every penny. outstanding quality and shipping. 2 min assembly

I searched for six months for a mid height drafting chair that had a range from 21"-28" for my needs. So many out there got bad reviews and just didn't quite fit the bill. This one was more expensive than the others but well worth it as the build quality is very nice. Yes, China made but what isn't these days?

Love how wide the seat and back are along with great cushions. Also I needed the height of this adjustable chair and foot rest.

I bought this because I have a desk unit in my kitchen next to the kitchen island/bar, and I thought the range of height adjustment would be ideal - simply pull over the desk chair and raise it up for additional seating at the bar. I does in fact accomplish this purpose rather well. Be aware that the rolling base takes up a bit more room than bar stools/chairs with legs. Pros: build quality is not super polished but structurally very solid. Arms of the base pedestal are cast as one piece and the gas cylinder slides into it precisely. The gas cylinder is hefty - no flimsiness in the structure. Foot ring is a bit lighter construction but seems solid enough - we'll see. The weld joint in the ring is a bit rough. (Instructions for foot ring appear to be wrong. There is a plastic bushing that they show being placed on the cylinder with the flange at the top before the foot ring is installed. But the foot ring won't go over the flange. Put the plastic bushing on with the flange at the bottom, then the foot ring slides right on to it and fits snugly on the gas cylinder. Slide it up or down as desired and tighten the hand screw against the plastic bushing to hold it in place.) Cushion is substantial, at least as of first use. I've seen complaints that the side supports of the cushion are a bit tight. I'm 5'10" 190 lbs and to me it feels supportive without being tight. Cons: does not go down quite as far as a standard office chair; my thighs hit the desk drawer if I slide in too far. However, I find the height to be good for typing on a 30" desk height. Neutral: It's a drafting stool, not a chair, so thigh support is a bit short and the back rest is fairly low. They say the back is adjustable but the bar at the base of the back rest is too short to allow any significant movement up or down. Back angle is adjustable but locks in place and does not allow any reclining once locked, unless you readjust the position. Overall a solidly built and comfortable drafting stool for the money, with versatility to be used as an office chair, sort of. Probably would not be a good for an all day office chair, particularly for taller individuals.
