First of all, I dont think there is a better value on Amazon right now than this chair in the 125-140 range. It is well made and comfortable with the basic options of swivel, height adjust, tilt (the whole chair, not the back) and tilt lock. The control on the side is easy to use and the range of height is great for me (6'3") and my wife and kids (5'6"+). The chair is also fairly wide, it will easily fit a person who exceeds the recommended weight limits. What I mean is, if you weigh 300+ pounds, you can fit in this chair, but the chair isn't made to support that much weight. The Leather-ish stuff is comfortable and appears durable enough. The arms are perfectly positioned for me. I expect this chair to last a long time because of how well its made.Now to a couple problems. First of all the back tilts back a bit too much in relation to the seat. This is not adjustable. Tension of the tilting action for the whole seat is adjustable, but there is no way to change the alignment of the seat to the back as they are bolted together with the arms. So while this chair is extremely comfortable while sitting watching TV, etc. it is not the best for sitting at a desk typing (like I am doing right now). I am ok with this, my wife can't stand it at all. It seems like this is more of a chair you would sit at in a meeting than one you are going to constantly be working at a desk with.
Another thing to know is that this chair isn't the easiest to assemble. Personally I dont think this is a major issue because you only have to do this once, however it is worth noting. Leaving all the bolts loose until you get everything threaded is a good start, but you will have to use some brute force to align all the holes, and some finesse because the lether-ish stuff will try and get in the way. Directions are acceptable, and there are even a couple extra parts plus the only tool you need is included. It took me about 45 minutes to put it together and I have assembled a lot of different products.
One other thing to note is that if you have any sensitivity to chemical smells... well this thing reeks from the manufacturing process. I have never had anything like this smell so strongly of chemicals. We stuck it outside in the sunshine two days before it faded enough to be able to bring it into the house. You know that new car smell? Think about that x100 and you get the idea. Once again, this isn't a major issue for most people because it does fade to acceptable levels withing a couple days. I will be glad when it is totally aired out though!
Its not perfect, but you will have to pay a lot more to get one thats better. It arrived within the Amazon delivery window, about a week and half after I ordered it and was well packaged.
