Good chair, good price, but.... August 11, 2010

Just put together the chair, and sitting in it as I review.
**In no way is this an originally $350 chair**
- If you're thinking: "Wow, what savings!" Don't. Office chair prices are so inflated to begin with.
**Shipping is price too high if you live in Southern CA.**
- The shipping warehouse is literally 2 miles from where I live, and I still paid $37.01 shipping on an $86.35 purchase. Had I been able to find out where it was, I would have gone to pick up the chair. Better yet, how about Shoplet moderate their shipping price according to region? The good thing is that I got it the next day.
OK, all that aside, the chair is of good build (made in China, like all things, so Tea Party patriots beware).
- The material is flat black faux leather. Nice quality.
- Plastic parts where warranted for the price; Steel where necessary, so no surprises.
- If you've assembled anything before, assembly is straight forward; you don't even need the instructions.
- The seat has nice raised padding on both sides for your thighs, and the lumbar support is good.
Other reviews have mentioned this is for a tall person, but I'm 5'6" and at the lowest height my feet are flat on the floor. The headrest reaches the top of my head. Perfect.
Others have mentioned difficulty in assembling the armrests: The key is to thread the screws loosely and make sure you push down on the part that screws into the chair back: The back has metal grommets that the screws go into, so if you push in and tighten those first(reasonably) then you'd have no problems. It then becomes a matter of even tightening all around.
I'm happy with the chair, but I won't buy from Shoplet again. They seem to be another e-tailer (why so many?) that "saves" you money on the price only to take it all back in shipping.
If you live in Southern California, it's worth your time to find out if the warehouse is near you. The latest price on this chair is $75, not including $50 shipping!!! What??!!
Chair is No Slouch...unless you're tall! June 25, 2010

I spent 3 days looking for chairs online and at local office supply stores and I just couldn't find one that was comfy without costing me a small fortune.
So seeing how I am 6ft 1 inch and after reading all the reviews regarding the "tall friendliness" of this chair, I thought I would give it a whirl.
First off, let me say "Kudos" to the seller. If everything I purchased online came as quickly as this chair, my postman would need a vacation, not to mention it was packed well so no damage and all the parts were included.
The chair itself is sturdy and quite comfy. I love the plush look and feel of the seat cushion and back support, which are rather important when you code websites for 8+ hours a day.
I would disagree with most of the reviewers that state this chair is perfect for anyone over 6ft, that all depends on how you sit in your chair. I'm not the "lean back" type. I don't like to put my feet on my desk and kick back, nor do I like to drop my wireless keyboard into my lap and tilt my chair backwards, so if you are looking for a chair that will allow you to do that and actually put your head on the headrest, I don't think you can do it unless you're a tad under 6ft. The headrest came to about the base of my neck, so if I wanted my head to touch the chair I would have to bend my neck back or slouch down a bit, neither good options if you have a bad back or wishing to work ergonomically.
Assembly for the most part was a snap - the arm rests need a little manipulating when you are tightening the screws, as previously described it works best if you do it like you are tightening the lug nuts on a tire wheel.
This is by far a much better quality chair that is replacing the one I purchased at my local office supply, a chair that cost more than this one.
All-in-all, I am very pleased that this is the one I decided to purchase, great chair for a great price - just be aware that it's not really "tall" friendly if you like to lean back and place your head on the rest without bending it backwards or slouching down.
Greeat chair finally June 24, 2010

After spending $120 a year buying a new office chair, somehow hoping they would be of a decent quality, i can finally say this is it. Every year they are flimsy, poorly made plastic pieces of rubbish that degrade and pop apart after a few months. This chair was so heavy in box, that when it arrived i had to take the parts out to get it up the stairs. Very sturdy. Very comfortable. Definitely for tall people. Im 6'7" and its great. Highly recommended.

Comes with extra parts for assembly.
Seems stable enough.

I just completed assembly of the chair and am a little disappointed and moderately perspired.
Shipping was extremely quick, I received my item in about 36 hours which is pretty phenomenal. All the components were in great shape despite the cardboard packaging appearing to have soaked up a pretty considerable amount of moisture in transit.
Assembly was pretty straightforward and took me about 15 minutes. The previous reviews are correct in that some man-handling is required.
The chair feels pretty solid and the build quality is above average. My major complaint however, is that the chair is much smaller than I had anticipated based on the reviewer advice that only folks over 6' tall should give this chair a go. I'm about 6'3 / 240 lbs and when sitting up straight with my back against the lumbar the headrest only comes up to about the middle of my neck. This is disappointing for me as I really liked the looks of that headrest. If I were a little shorter in the torso however, I still think you would have to lean back your head enough that it would not be comfortable regardless. The seat can be raised considerably, I don't even need the tallest setting for my feet to sit naturally on the floor. However, I don't feel the back is nearly high enough nor the chair really wide enough to be considered a B&T item. (Which is isn't marketed as anyway)
I do feel the chair presents great value at the $127 with free shipping, it's just not really a great fit for me.
