Best Seats At Staples Center (2024 Updated)

If you have wide shoulders or are taller than 6 feet, you may have trouble really enjoying this chair. It raises up decently high but the head rest only reaches the base of my neck and presses against the back of my shoulders.

The arm rests have decent height adjustment, but screwing them into the chair base feels like you may warp or strip something because the fasteners do not screw in flat and flush against the mounting pieces.

The base is plastic but seems sturdy for a heavy person as well, it is rated for 275lbs after all. No signs or sounds of flex or breaking. The Mesh seat and back are comfortable and provide ample air flow as well if you’re concerned about staying cool in warm spaces.

The lumbar support piece, while effective, has minimal height adjustment and it’s not the most accessible to reach and move, especially when you’re already seated. The lean works great and locks into place well.

Combined with the lumbar support, it really makes you sit up straight.

I’ve been using the Hyken chair for around a year now, and it has been the best chair I’ve ever owned. COMFORT – I’m a 5′ 8″, 165lb male, and this chair fits and holds me well. If you are taller, the headrest will be an issue for you; I just snuck under the point where it would poke me in the shoulders.

I would highly recommend the chair as a comfortable option for everyday use. I generally use the chair for at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week; sometimes extending that time with evening gaming sessions.

Even at the comfort level it provides, I would still recommend stretching every hour or two to avoid cramps. The armrests have firm padding that supports the arms well, but I removed them after a few months to make playing guitar easier while seated.

The ability to lock and unlock the chair lean is a nice feature and I’ve found myself just reclining in the furthest notch to relax at times. DURABILITY – After 1 year of use, all components are still fully functional.

That said, the thick foam strip at the front of the seat does have a tear in it from where it comes into contact with the structure of the seat while under compression; however, this does not affect comfort or usability and is not noticeable unless you look at the chair from underneath.

The armrests also developed a slight break in the shell at the rear from putting pressure on them when adjusting myself in the seat. QUALITY/VALUE – I would say the build quality of this chair matches the price you pay for it.

I have a feeling this chair will last me at least a few more years. I’ve never owned a mesh chair before this, so I’m not positive about the material’s long-term durability. The only part that doesn’t seem very solid is the back lumbar support.

It’s made to slide up and down but always seems to get pushed down to the lowest setting. This isn’t a huge deal, but I would like to see this made more solid in future builds. CONCLUSION – I’d highly recommend this chair for everyday use, especially if you work a desk job.

Your comfort and health are important, and this chair definitely helps support those aspects.

The construction and quality is pretty solid for the price point. For me, the decline rear of the seat pulls me into the decline and creates a posterior tilt for my pelvis. The lumbar support is too narrow for me and needs a more gradual change like the Union & Scale™ Essentials Mesh Back Fabric Task Chair.

It also should have more adjustable range. The problem with my chair’s lumbar support is that it does not stay in place. I will adjust the lumbar support to a comfortable height and a little while later it will slide back down.

The head support could use more adjusting options such as height. It currently supports the base of my skull and not back of my head. Leaning back in the chair is quite nice and the arms are easy to adjust in height.

My biggest concern is the forced posterior tilt. If all these issues were addressed, this would be an amazing chair.

Virtually everything on this chair is plastic; the only parts that aren’t are the little shafts on the wheels and the main pneumatic post. The chair itself isn’t particularly sturdy the pad on the front of the seat is quite firm so it cuts off my circulation – I expect it will level out over time(?).

I am tall and slightly overweight and this chair would accomodate a 300lb+ person easily. I haven’t made up my mind about the pleather yet, although I normally don’t mind it because of its durability compared to real leather.

Assembly wasn’t difficult at all (for me at least). The instructions only have pictures so there’s virtually no reading required. We had to send the first chair back because the back was slanted and a replacement was sent very promptly, so customer service is “on the ball”.

Overall, I’d say it’s a fair price for what you get nowadays but I think it’ll probably have to be replaced within 2 years – and I’m not a “heavy user”. The 1st thing to fail on these chairs, most often, is the gas strut(?).

1st issue: Horrid off-gassing. Had to have it outside for 2 days before I could take it into my small office/studio. On the second night and for the entire night I left a fan running over the chair with window open.

Ridiculous. It’s the morning of day four as I write this review and I can still smell this darn chair. 2nd issue: Screw holes are just slightly offskew so it was more difficult than it should be to put together.

3rd issue: Either they changed the foam density used or they didn’t add enough. The seat for your bottom, the section next to the back, is uncomfortable. All this aside, I am 5’7, 150lb female and I must say the head rest is good height for me and very soft yet supportive.

The back is comfortable and when seated all the way back in the chair, in an upright position, the sides cradle my body just right. Sadly I could not imagine anyone with a larger body frame being very comfortable in this chair for too long.

Overall impression: Eh. Worth returning? I’m on the fence.

Flash Furniture – Contemporary Gray Vinyl Adjustable Height Barstool with Square Seat and Chrome Base are extremely modern and attractive addition to my home, providing the aesthetic look that I desire in my home.

These bar stools are extremely well made using good quality material that I believe that with care will last a very long time and due to the simple design, will adapt to changes in style around my home.

The Stools come package ready for assemble and although the instructions were rather vague at times, my wife and I working together had no problems putting them together. Personally I felt that it was better to have the two of us together as it just made things a little simpler as one person could hold things in place.

Once put together, I have found that these bar stools are extremely sturdy, with no issues of the base rocking when someone sits on them and there are no wobbly parts or things feeling loose. The cushioning on top of the stool, is extremely comfortable and I could not feel any hard parts (which I have experienced with other barstools).

The Flash Furniture – Contemporary Gray Vinyl Adjustable Height Barstool with Square Seat and Chrome Base are extremely attractive and easy to keep clean which is extremely important with two teenagers and a younger child in the house, finger prints wipe away easily and any spillage wipes away with ease.

These bars stools are definitely something that I would recommend to others, just ensure that you have someone around to make construction easier. Great product that I am extremely happy to have added to my home.

I recently moved into a new apartment and I have been looking for some stylish barstool for my kitchen island. I have come across this product and it looks like a good fit for my apartment so I decided to give it a try.

This barstool doesn’t disappoint at all! First, the barstool is very easy to install with the detailed instructions being provided. I love that it’s very user friendly and it only takes less than 10 mins to assemble.

Second, it’s made of very high quality materials and it’s very sturdy. I can tell this product will last for a long time and it’s durable. Finally I really love this design of barstool and it can fit well in many styles of kitchen island.

I am impressed with this product and would recommend this brand to my friends and family!.

We built a house last December and it is currently November and I have ordered barstools and sent them back I can’t tell you how many times because they weren’t the right height so I thought well I need an adjustable base.

These stools they fit the checkmarks on every box! They are cushy enough and it doesn’t matter The height of my bar they fit perfect, they complement my decor, they swivel, they have a back to them that is very comfortable when you lean back it does not feel like you were going to fall! I don’t know that I can say enough about these barstools! I will definitely be telling a friend.

! One more thing, these barstools are super easy to put together!.

I like the color which is a charcoal gray as described. The stool is simple to move up and down which is a feature I use with my height adjustable desk. The seat cushioning is comfortable to sit on and I like having some support with the back and low side wrap around.

The metal base is heavy and sturdy so that stool is very supportive even when raised high. The plastic ring underneath the base keeps my hard wood floor from being scratched. This stool would not be the best fit for a heavy set person since my average frame fits into the seat without additional room.

The one feature that doesn’t work for me is that the foot ring does not extend far enough for me to place my feet. I like the stool quality and price, so I have a small foot stool to place feet on when my desk is raised to a counter height.

Barstool came with assembly instructions that were very easy to follow. Assembly time was less than 10 minutes including unpacking it from the box! Very well made. Seat could use a little more padding, but still comfortable.

Chair height is easily adjustable, foot rest is nice and swiveling is smooth. Vinyl seat looks great and easy to clean. Plastic ring on base protects floors when moving.

I have a 2018 Silverado extended cab truck (small back seat), and it is a struggle to fit a rear facing car seat in behind one of the front seats without moving the seat all the way forward and tilting it up to an uncomfortable degree.

So the goal was to find a car seat that actually fit. So I purchased both the Extend2Fit and the Britax Emblem based on the reviews from babygearlab. The Extend2Fit is the smaller car seat of the two in almost every dimension.

In rear-facing mode the Britax made the front seat almost unusable for anything other than a quick trip. The I tried the Graco in rear-facing mode and wow, it fit. I was able to put it on the 3 or 4 recline (for children that can sit up), and the front seat is exactly where I want it.

You can even pull out the extender the first couple of notches and the front seat is still comfortable for someone 5′-6 for a long journey and someone 5′-11 for trips around town. In forward facing mode the Britax side bolsters are so large that it is a really tight squeeze for the small door opening (font seat unaffected).

In forward facing the Graco’s side bolsters are a little smaller, so it will be a little easier for him to climb in when that time comes. There may be a better option in forward facing mode, but this will work for me.

In a car both are great options, though on overall build quality, I’d give the Britax a slight edge. So we’ll be keeping that for my wife’s car, which has plenty of room.

We chose this carseat (and bought 2) because it is an affordable option that gets amazing safety ratings. The cupholders are also a big plus. It’s relatively lightweight, we just took it on the plane, strapped it to the rolling carry on with a carseat strap which worked great and were able to get it on and off the plan and rental cars quickly and easily.

To adjust the height is super easy too with the top handle which is great if more than one child might be using it. Unfortunately, I do have to report that the straps are not the most comfortable, they rub my daughters hips.

I did do a ton of research on fitting etc. and they still rub a bit and that’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars. Not enough of a reason for us to make a different choice, but just something to keep in mind.

Compared to her Britax Advocate, she finds the Britax much more comfortable but it’s also much bulkier, and more expensive for the same safety ratings.

I’ve tried so many different convertible seats for my now 2 year old when we visit my parents after flying. She only sits rear facing. We have tried many brands AND other Graco seats. This one is so darn easy to install, both latch and seatbelt ways.

Others just don’t compare to the ease it is to install this one. It is like a luxury plush recliner for her. It has so many different levels for reclining. It’s aesthetically pleasing. It is not ridiculously wide like so many other seats.

On the most upright rear facing recline setting, it fits perfectly in our 2011 Toyota Corolla which has a tiny backseat, where tall people can still drive comfortably with it installed. It’s just the best.

The price is 1000% worth it.

I bought the couch and two chairs and love them. I have cats and kids and the furniture has held up well for 2 years so far. Messes clean easily off the fabric without leaving a stain. Even though they seem lighter than they should be, they are very sturdy.

I placed a strip of sticky-backed velcro on the bottom of the front of the seat cushion and it holds it firmly in place. I don’t expect them to last 30 years, but it appears that they’ll be fine for a minimum of 7.

Not bad at all for what I paid.

Just what I wanted. I love to read and wanted a comfortable chair to do so. This is it. The seat, back, and arms are all tremendously comfortable and I can just sink into it and read for hours. It wipes clean easily and looks great.

Works well with the matching sofa. Sturdy feel to it. Have received compliments for it.

We were looking for a comfortable chair that not only looked good but was also sturdy and supportive. This chair definitely met the criteria. Since it’s primarily my husband’s chair he’s very pleased with the support it gives his back while still providing comfort.

Two hours after placed my order and paid $237, I found a similar chair for about $80 less. When I tried to cancel the order it was too late. After it arrived, I’d say it’s worth about $80 less. I was not expecting it to be as comfortable as similar looking chairs I have used, but this chair was far less comfortable than even my lowered expectations.

I would not pay more than $160 for this chair if I had a second chance. I’ve seen the same chair, judging from the description of its hard foam on board seat and short height (must be so they can add casters on the same model), listed for about $100 and used for about $50.

With so many rough spots on the finish, new vs. old would not make much difference. Go to Walmart and get it for $161. 37, if you really want it.

I love these chairs. I learned about the convenience of wheeled dining chairs visiting a senior residence once, and have been wanting them ever since! Also they were very well packed and shipped quickly.

We purchased this last month. The aesthetics of the chair is nice, however the seat sinks in quite a bit and is not very sturdy. Feels like your about to hit the floor if you sit too hard.

We bought these during our most recent camping trip, while we were relatively close to an REI store. The reclining feature is brilliant. You can lean back and get comfortable, no matter how short or tall you are.

Add a firewood footrest and you’re all set. The seat collapses and takes up only a little more space than a traditional camp chair. This is great because other rocking camp chairs fold up but don’t fully collapse, taking up more storage space in transit.

Beware leaving your frosty beverage in the cup holder when you get up. Sitting down or getting up, even with great ease, results in the beverage being tossed about which results in spilled beer, which is not good.

After a short learning curve we have been taking our beverages with us and no beer has been spilled! The left-side pocket is big enough to hold my iPhone 12 in an Otterbox case. The only thing that could make it better is some pocket netting on the back to store some stuff while at the campsite.

We highly recommend this chair.

I bought this particular chair for my MIL bc she wanted one after sitting in mine at a softball game. My husband and my mom also have one and we all absolutely love this chair. It gives the comfort needed while enjoying watching outdoor activities such as a softball game or as simple as sitting outside with friends.

The rocker part is what makes the chair set a part from others. It is comfortable, sturdy and securely made. Way more comfortable than sitting on the bleachers or other foldable chairs. You don’t slump down and you don’t feel like it is going to fold with you in it like some foldable chairs.

It is also easy to carry as it is easy to fold up and has two handles, one on top and one on the side. If you are one to be outdoors for whatever reason and need a chair, this is the one! You will not be disappointed.

I did not purchase my GCI rockers from QVC but I do have the exact rocker being sold here in the exact same color. I am 5’8” and my husband is 6’ and they aren’t too low for us, so I’m not sure why some people are saying they are too low, unless they happened to have bought the one specifically made for the beach or fire pit.

I have also had mine for almost two years now and it is in perfect condition other than it being dirty. My husband and I bought our two after seeing some people at the ball field with them. Our boys play ball and participate in shooting sports.

We thought these would be chairs that would be put up until we had a tournament. Turns out, we use them DAILY!!!!! They are light and easily toted once you figure out which way works best for you. We use them at the ball field, around the fire, in the backyard, on the porch, at the beach and river, and we even bring them inside when we host Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any other event where seating is limited.

My grands loved them so we bought them a set last Christmas. My daddy tried mine and he is about 350 lbs so he doesn’t generally like chairs like this, but since he did like this one, we bought him one for his birthday several months ago.

My children also have them. In most recent events, I just got home from Christmas shopping and have two sitting in my car for my mama and my other grandma. Needless to say, we love them so much and in my opinion, are good quality.

I’m sorry some people have had a bad experience. I’m not sure what they expected, but I do know that the GCI rockers have far exceeded our expectations and since we bought our first two, we have purchased 13 more.

I stopped getting mine repaired. The first time it broke was a few weeks after purchase. Some of the wires were pulled out, there was no risk of electric shock but it didn’t work. I flipped it over and soldered the wires added some heat shrink.

Good to go. A week later the foot rest and frame was busted. Called the furniture insurance people, they were good. They came out, agreed it was busted and ordered a whole new scissor type carriage for the foot part.

I think that broke because I have a teen that is impatient and couldn’t wait the 15 or 20 seconds for the chair to return from the reclined position. It does seem like forever. Shortly after repair. it broke again.

I didn’t even bother calling. I knew how this was going to end. So it’s been a regular chair for the last year or two. Now the back of chair broke, sagging, whatever. This was a waste of 1,000 bucks.

I’ve been really disappointed and kicking myself because I knew better even at the time of purchase. Value, construction, durability aside. How is it? Well it’s slow, the control is not very convenient, there is only one and when the service tech guy came out to repair mine he suggested we add some extra foam to the seat cushion.

So that was helpful. I would only recommend this chair to frail people under six feet tall without children or large pets. And even then they need to keep their core strength up. it’s a long way to the button to lower the foot rest.

It’s comfortable and looks great. The buttons for reclining aren’t my favorite. I rather have a manual. The electric reclining is slow and fragile. I’m always afraid it will break and it has- twice. Kinda wish I didn’t pay so much for it.

I Love my chair & so does my family & friends. Very comfortable, stylish, looks great in the space I had planned for it! Placing the order, delivery, set up & cleanup were ‘no hassle’. Thank you, I’m 86 yrs.

young & the no hassle part made me happy! Pat C.

I am one who doesn’t like the arm rests on chairs because they tend to get in my way while I am reaching for various things around me so that is really nice. Because this chair does not have arm rests, it also slides very neatly under my desk! The color is awesome – my favorite color and is a fun pop to bring me energy to get some work accomplished.

The foot rest is great. I chose this chair because of the range of motion it has, as I move around a lot at work with a travelling desk so at home I like to do the same between sitting, high sitting, and standing.

This chair provides it all! 🙂 I do not lean back on my chairs much either (because I shift my position frequently!) so the seat helps me to maintain good posture, no matter what height I am at! The chair does not have wheels, but slides really well across my mat, and being up higher, wheels would be a danger with how much I transfer, shift, and lean.

Thanks for a great chair!.

Great stool! I was under the impression it was for kids, but its seat size can hold any size. I gave it a 4 because I bought it for my kids, but it is so strong, they cant get it to slide back down once they pull the lever to go up.

They are just too light weight. So I have to sit on it and pull the lever to get the seat to go back down to their size. Other than that-it is durable, the seat raises pretty high for different heights of tables, counters, etc.

360 rotation is very smooth and spins fast (if you were to spin in it-fun factors). Possibly good for workplaces that need rotation in small spaces to reach things. I consider this a teenage or adult stool.

My kids love it too, but Id prefer if they could adjust the height on it themselves.

This modern metal counter stool is tough and sturdy enough to handle daily wear and tear while remaining comfortable, functional and stylish. This stool brings an industrial-chic style to any living space.

It features a sleek, vintage-inspired design made with rugged worn-in details that give it a rustic charm. Here are some key points: One of the main reasons I chose this over similar bar stool/chairs is the fact that the seat is 14″ rather than 12″ and provides a little more room for your frame when sitting.

The stool is supported on tapered legs accompanied by an “X” style frame under the seat and sleek foot rails at the bottom for better stability and balance. And the armless stool design can easily slip underneath the counter while leaving enough legroom for relaxed seating.

I would note that the stool appears darker in person and not as coppery brown. The worn-in markings are copper.

I purchased 4 chairs for the outdoor counter in the pool house cabana. I rated this purchase 5 stars because of the excellent packaging for shipping, easy assembly, brilliant color, and well made product.

Smooth finish and no noticeable sharp edges. Important to note: weight capacity is strong, but seat depth is narrowed by the back assembly. The chair is adequate without the back, but is most beautiful when completely assembled.

Worthwhile purchase!.

I wanted to love this but I’m not impressed at all. For starters the seat is very small. I’m a size six and I feel like it is too small for me. They only sent four screws because you only need four screws but one of the screws was not perfect so it would not screw in correctly.

Extra screws cost little money. Throw in an extra one please. The frame for the back scratched the base as I was putting it together because it was tight. Thankfully this was already a distressed look but I can imagine the smooth finished version.

I love the look of it and it is sturdy but from there I’m highly disappointed with it for the price.

Bought this as a gift for someone who is 5’7” & at least 350lbs. With in mind that it is needed for long hours of everyday use with possibly some periodic napping. It was extremely heavy, but we couldn’t be happier.

It was very clean looking (no scratches or weird smells), easy to assemble, very well made & lovely to look at and sit in. Honestly, no complaints about the chair itself. But, BUYERS BEWARE OF PRICE MATCHING!! Look for the same chair from competitors & let Best Buy know.

They will price match. After getting this chair price matched it was most definitely worth it! If you are looking for a heavy duty chair, that is great for someone Big & Tall. This is it!.

Just like other people said, box was completely open and a mess, chair is perfect for some reason. This was just too easy to put together, (15 MINUTES), everything is straight forward with 1 page of instructions.

The chair is (HUGE) in height from floor to top, it has more of a height footprint than width. The chrome could be better on the feet but passable/almost perfect. The seat cushion is hard as a rock with plenty room to spare.

It does lean back (SLIGHTLY), keeps you from hunching but you are a little bit away from the keyboard. (NO) I would not pay over $1,400. 00 for this, (YES) I would pay the $450. 00. This chair is physically beautiful, very expensive/upscale looking.

BUY IT.

I love how plush the chair is. It’s definitely wide and sturdy for larger folks. Assembly was easy enough to do by yourself, so long as you have the time. My only gripe is that It has limited adjustment capabilities.

Has wierd limbar angle for people that prefer to sit upright. Could just be me, I may have to reach out to learn how to adjust the chair. Otherwise, very comfortable for long periods. I’m 6’3″ 275 lbs for reference.

I had this chair for a couple of days now. It’s replacing a Herman Miller Aeron that was gifted to me, but that I just could not get comfortable sitting in. The TP8000 is a very nice and comfortable office chair.

The seat is as sturdy and plush as one would expect from a product with the Tempur-Pedic label (I’m 250 lbs for reference). The adjustability is also great with height, tilt and lean adjustments I wouldn’t expect at this price point.

The width adjustment of the armrest was also an added surprise as I didn’t see it mentioned in the product description. The mesh back feels. serviceable. Of the entire chair the sustainability of the back mesh worries me the most.

The rest of the chair feels solid and well built and comparable with the Aeron. Now for the bad news. Assembly was an absolute nightmare. It’s not that the chair is so complicated that you need to pay for professional assembly.

On the contrary, the chair is quite simple to put together. However, the pictogram instructions are in the wrong order, are sometimes vague or just plain convey the wrong directives. My advice would be to ignore the assembly order in the instructions.

Put the wheel base and seat components together first and connect them. Then start on the seat back. The seat back is where I ran into the most issues. The bolt for the seat back to its support post was larger than the predrilled hole on my chair.

I had to go to the hardware store to purchase a replacement bolt and nut. Not a big deal in terms of cost, but it was the only thing keeping me from completing the assembly so you can imagine how annoyed I was.

In addition, the Allen wrench that’s supplied is awkwardly sized for the spaces you need to reach to secure the bolts (thankfully I had a more appropriate wrench to use instead). I did have to call the help line in the instructions while putting the back together.

The person I spoke with was exceptionally friendly and very helpful. All in all, I’d definitely recommend the chair. Just be prepared for some headaches when you start to put it together.

Received this today. The box was missing the casters (wheels). I was getting rid of an older chair so used the old chair’s casters. The underside of the seat also doesn’t instill confidence with the build quality.

I’m also disappointed in the height of the seat back. It would be nice if it was about 6 inches taller. It feels solid. I think it provides the right balance of comfort and support and the leather is soft and smooth.

The only adjustment is height.

However the seat seems to slope to far down in front would be nice to be able to adjust the default setting to slope toward the back of the seat. Feel like I am being tilted forward out of the seat unless I lean al the way back.

Easy to assemble , but I did upgrade the wheels for laminate floor and mat I use to stand stand on when raising up the desktop to standing position. When sitting the new wheels easily roll onto and off the mat.

The cover material is nice and soft, waiting for hot day to see about coolness. Could use an added head rest but leaning back is somewhat comfortable as is. the arm rests are just right. the seat could be a but longer, and could use more padding I fear after some use this seat will bottom out.

Overall for the price it it does the job and looks good doing it ( just like its owner).

I purchased this chair in Jan 2014 after having many different computer chairs in the past. I wanted something that was comfortable for many hours at a time everyday on the PC, and hopefully last more than 1 year without falling apart.

After almost 8 years of heavy use, here are my thoughts of this chair: Pros: You can feel the quality. It’s extremely comfortable, 8-10 hours per day and zero numbness and/or discomfort. There’s so much padding in the back and seat, it’s firm and soft.

The recline option is very nice. The durability of the chair is amazing, minus the bonded leather. Cons: The bonded leather started flaking after a couple of years. I’m forced to replace it with another Bradley because it looks so bad now.

After almost 8 years this chair looks like it’s on its last leg, yet it’s still fully functional. Overall, I recommend this chair. By far the best chair I’ve ever owned and will never own anything other than a La-Z-Boy.

Fist of all, the people at ‘Staples” that helped me select and order this chair were EXCELLENT. This is the FOURTH chair of this type that I have purchased from “Staples” over the last 8 years. and their associates at the two stores I have patronized were ALWAYS very courteous and very helpful.

Now I am NOT a ‘collector’ of these types of ‘high back, Executive Style’ office chairs. I just like this style. Unfortunately, the ONLY ONES NOW OFFERED by any one that sells office chairs are made with a fabric covering called ‘bonded leather’.

That ‘bonded leather’ is NOT anything close to REAL leather. It is some inferior type of vinyl in my opinion. Of the THREE chairs I’ve had prior to this one that I just purchased, the ‘bonded leather’ on ALL of them begins to split or crack or just open up at any of the seams.

The problem is usually first apparent on the arm rests but I have had two of them then progress to the ‘bonded leather’ splitting and separating at the seat seams as well. I did take advantage of the warranty on the last chair and with a call to “Staples” customer support, they very expediently sent me two new armrests for that chair but the ‘bonded leather’ on those new armrests failed even more quickly.

As poor as the ‘bonded leather’ coverings are, the chair seats also become ‘flat’ and ‘hard’ in about 1. 5 to 2 years as well. So as the ‘bonded leather’ is failing first, a ‘hard and flattened’ seat is not far behind.

Now in case you are wondering, I am a 70 year old man that is 6′ tall and weigh 190 lbs. I wish I weighed less but a man of my weight should not cause chairs like this to FAIL in 1. 5 to 2 years. I have ONLY used these chairs in my home office for about two to three hours a day (and often much less).

I have come to expect this fate and am obviously a fool enough to keep buying these chairs. It appears that ‘bonded leather’ is the ONLY fabric covering used on these chairs that are of course made in China.

Even my latest chair is called a “La-Z-Boy” brand chair but it is also made in China and of course has the SAME ‘bonded leather’. If you can ‘afford’ whatever the price is for the chairs of this style that you may like, I would suspect you will experience the same ‘bonded leather’ failures and a ‘hard’ and ‘flat’ seat in a year or two as I have.

If that does NOT bother you, then you are like me and just keep accepting the fate of “they don’t make them like they used to”.

I purchased this chair after breaking my last one in 14 months. Being just under 250 lbs, I was looking for a chair that would more than support my weight and be comfortable. I figured going with a well-known brand and choosing one meant specifically for people my weight and height (I’m 6’3) would be my best bet.

I received it on April 23d and built it on the 24th. In the 24 days that I’ve had it, I’m less than impressed. I work from home full time and am on a lot of calls. Just moving and readjusting in the chair causes the loudest creaks I’ve ever heard.

I have to make sure I’m on mute before I move, otherwise the other people on the call will hear it. Beyond that, it is also not nearly as comfortable as I was hoping it would be. The seat cushion is already starting to flatten and the plastic arms do not feel sturdy at all.

I made sure all of the bolts were tight, but this did not help. I honestly do not expect this chair to last 6 months before I need to replace it.
