Good basic and quality chair for the price. Needed a new budget chair and this got the job done. Not necessarily built for long hours.

Seems overpriced for what you get (though employee price is more justified). Does not recline, chair feels rock solid and uncomfortable to sit on for more than half-hour. Decent back support only if you are sitting 100% straight up. Arms don't move either, so it feels like this was made for children or smaller sized people. Very easy to put together in 30 min but I'll be returning this one and checking out a chair somewhere else that I can actually try them out beforehand.

Fairly easy to put together. Got it all finished and sat down into the most uncomfortable $176 chair. To say it is stiff as a rock is an understatement. The only tilt you get from this chair is an inch forward to dump you out. I feel as if I’m falling out of the chair the whole time. No matter what I do with the underneath lever…no release at all.

The chair is generally fine. It’s not terribly comfortable and has a bit of a wobble from the moment it came out of the box, but in the 6 months I’ve had it so far it has not degraded or shown any wear. I only game a couple hours every few days so I’m not putting a ton of use on it, and it is not soft or shaped well enough to sit in any longer on any given day.
