I just got this chair in this morning. I was going to wait for a while to review to see how well it holds up in the durability department. After assembly and use of this morning I can already tell that it is going to last a while. Everything was packaged very well and even though the box had some damage, nothing in the box was harmed at all. It took me about 45 minutes to get this chair together, which was a surprise because of all the reviews of people saying it would take 3 to 4 hours. If you have tools, get a 3/8 socket wrench with a 12mm instead of the tiny allen wrench the give you. Trust me it will help you when putting the seat to the back. It is really nice that they put a head on the allens. I did have one problem that was easily fixed and was totally my fault. I tightened the bolts on the seat and the back all the way down and when I was putting the arms on, one side did not line up. I looked back at the instructions and realized they tell you not to tighten them all the way. After loosening them a bit the arm slid in place and it was done. This chair by far exceeded my expectations. The only little tiny issue I have with it, the tilt does not go back very far. It does go back, but only about 70 degrees. For 225 I am very pleased and I did not think that it was enough of a problem to lower it a star. It is very comfortable and well built. I cringed when I saw it was made in china. Do not fret, this is one exception to that, it is a very sturdy, beautiful piece of furniture. I am very happy and would buy this exact one again if I had to. Do not look any further, this is the chair you want.
Best chair Ive sat in. Cant wait to break it in.
