What are the benefits of choosing this chair?
Your Work smart breathable screen back chair combines durable, sturdy aesthetic with ultimate comfort. A sharply designed nylon frame braces a mesh screen back that delicately cradles the curves of your spine with built-in lumbar support. You’ll have full control over your chair with the accommodating range of 2-1 synchro locking tilt control with adjustable tilt tension. One-touch pneumatic seat height adjustment and padded flipping arms with silver accents provide further customization of a chair designed with up-to-the-minute technology. A heavy-duty base with silver accents and dual wheel carpet casters completes a sleek home or office addition accomplished with style and professionalism.
But what are some of the other that choose this chair are saying
One person that used to install office furniture (put himself through college that way) and know a fair amount about the construction quality of office chairs. I’ve probably assembled several thousand of them, everything from Global to Herman Miller to Hon. He has also built the cheap off-brand chairs that big-box office retailers sell. Usually, the less expensive the chair, the lower the quality. A good office chair from a top-shelf brand that matches this chair’s design and characteristics would cost 2-3x what this chair does.
Usually the difference in cost is due to poor quality plastic parts, a poor quality pneumatic lift mechanism, lower grade leather (if applicable), and junk casters that don’t roll freely. After building this chair and testing it out, I can say that it is a very well made chair with quality parts, except for the arm rests. The pneumatics are strong and even and fully support even a large male (I weight 205lbs). The leather seat cushion is comfortable, not over or under stuffed, and sewn with heavy gauge stitching which won’t fail quickly. The caster are adequate, and while not quite as nice as those on a premium chair, do roll easily and freely without getting stuck, even on office carpet. The mechanical levers for seat adjustments are well placed and are easy to adjust. The machine quality of the metal parts is good, and the whole chair assembly is firm and well built.
The mesh back is responsive, firm, and comfortable. While not adjustable as on some much more expensive models, it does support a variety of back types adequately. If you prefer a very ‘cushy’ chair back such as an overstuffed chair, this is NOT the chair for you. This is a firm back and lower lumbar support type of chair.
What this chair lacks is quality arm rests. They are concave, which is a decent design for those with thinner arms, but if you are a larger person, they can and will become uncomfortable. They are also made of slightly tacky plastic, which doesn’t breathe and is much less desirable than leather arm rests in my opinion.
Aside from the arm rests, this is a really nice office chair that’s built to last. It’s well worth the price, and is comparable enough to more expensive models to make it a solid purchase.
Assembly tip: either get a 3-point Phillips head screwdriver or a hand wrench to tighten down the machine screws that attach the arms and chair base. A small screwdriver will not be sufficient and you’ll find yourself needing to re-tighten them constantly. Trust me, it’s better to get them extremely tight the first time around using the correct tool.
