Overall great chair with room for a armrest improvements
Overall I like this chair, especially for the price. Assembly was a breeze. All parts were clearly labeled. Whomever packaged the parts and wrote the assembly instruction booklet couldn't have made it more clear and easy. (A rarity.)
I find the cushion to be comfortable and of medium firmness. I would've paid more if the arm height was adjustable, or if at a minimum were able to be lifted out of the way against the back of the chair making the chair essentially armless. I find the fixed arms to be about an inch too low, but if I am just sitting back, relaxing in the chair, my wrists rest on the armrest and it's better than nothing.
The height of the chair was very important to me. It was hard to find accurate measurements, so as soon as I put the chair together, I took my own measurements. I hope someone else will find it helpful....
The seat is 19" wide x 18" deep. The height to the top of the seat at it's lowest setting is 17.5" and 22.25" at it's highest. The seat height sinks about 7/16" when you sit in it. Because the seat is rounded in the front and not perfectly flat, it makes measuring the height difficult. I placed a thin piece of cardboard on the seat, then a quart sized paint can on top so it wasn't floating. I then measured from the floor to the bottom of the cardboard. I posted a few pictures. (Sorry if they are sideways...they are the correct way on my computer and nothing I did uploaded them right side up on Amazon.)
Floor to top of arm height is 23 5/8" at lowest seat height setting and 28 3/8" at highest seat setting. (To determine if it will roll under a desk. This is also difficult to measure as the arm rest is curved. I measured the middle of the arm rest.)
Fixed arm height is about 6.25" from top of seat to top of arm.
Note many reviewers complained that during assembly of the back rest to the seat cushion, the metal back bar frame overlapped the seat plate. They must have updated the assembly instructions at some point because the instructions clearly state, "the metal back bar frame will overlap on the seat plate." They then show a diagram showing the overlap with another note,"back bar will overlap seat plate when aligning to holes." So, this is not a design flaw but intentional.
Overall, I am very happy with the chair. I use it about 4-5hr a day, 5 days a week. So far after 3 months it is holding up well.
