Let me get the bad stuff out of the way,the good will be at the bottom.
First off the chair arrived 5 days late, when it arrived the box was beaten, partially unsealed and had a hand size hole on the side of it. After inspecting the contents I was relieved to see it was all there and intact. So I started the assembly process, it was standard easy assembly all the way up to the arm rests (which are adjustable by the way) the instructions said attach the back rest to the arm rests then attach the seat, WRONG! It was a nightmare that way don't try it the holes will not line up for the other screws if you do. Attach the SEAT FIRST then Attach the Back, it is MUCH easier!
Now the actual chair review.
For reference purposes I am 6'1" 296 lbs (BIG MAN)
The chair sits higher up than other office chairs even at its lowest setting, it is soft comfy has great lumbar support and smells like leather! It has two handles(one on each side) that control the up/down recline and lock feature. THE ARM RESTS ARE ADJUSTABLE they go up and down which was not in the product info when I bought it so that is a nice plus.
The chairs seat curves downward, this makes me worry that once the chair starts to wear down that it will become difficult to sit in as you will slide off into the floor.
before buying this chair consider how far you are from Ontario, CA. because that is where it comes from and will reflect shipping prices and time of delivery by a lot, furthermore if you can't easily drop $300 on a chair then DO NOT DO IT! go to a store sit in the chairs and buy the one that you like the most, if that is not an option then buy one that has a rock solid high score and is affordable $189 is about where the good ones start at that price.
I am rating this item LOW and Not recommending it to a friend because of the delivery service, the Price and the assembly difficulty that I experienced.
