STAPLES Kroy Ergonomic Office Task Chair, Breathable Mesh Swivel Seat & Back, Adjustable Height, Lumbar Support, Black

The chair overall is a good buy. Pros: *Seat and chair mesh seems well made and they are comfortable. *The adjustable up and down armrests comfortably position your elbows at the desired height. *The adjustable lumbar support is a nice feature. It allows you to get the support on your ideal lumbar spine position. *The shipping box protected the chair and assembly was easy and straight forward. Cons: *Armrests are not even. Some height positions are better than others but there's a small difference in height. You could fix by putting the right size washers under the armrests bolts when assembling but I'm good with the difference. *There is a slight lean forward feel to this chair. But it actually keeps you upright but more like a robot. I assume as the mesh gives a little, this will not feel so forward pushing. *Armrests are not very comfortable. My old chair had padding but this one is thinner and more firm. If your not too OCD and can accept that the armrests may not be the exact same height on all adjustment levels, then this is a good buy.

Well built, easy to assemble. Very comfortable and sturdy. Easy to move around.

It's a comfortable chair if one can prevent both the lumbar and up/down features from 'slipping' The lumbar adjustment would slip downwards every time I got out of the chair, so I eventually fixed that with two screws [see image]. I prefer my office chair almost at full height, but the 'hydraulic' gas lift keeps lowering slowly every time I sit in it. Any suggestions how to overcome that issue would be appreciated. The assembly instructions were clear and concise, and I would have given the chair 5 stars if the issues I mentioned above weren't present.

Very happy with this chair. My sister has the same one purchased 5 years ago. I was a little worried after seeing more recent reviews where some buyers had problems with the chair slowly losing height. That hasn't happened to me. It rolls easily, doesn't damage the floor, and is very comfortable because of the numerous possible position adjustments. Love the mesh seat and backrest. The quality seems very good for the money.

The chair was easy to put together, and the mesh of the seat and back make sure that it does not get too hot to sit on when it is humid. It feels sturdy, and the arch of the back is comfortable. However, I had done a test sit in a store before I bought it, and what suits me may not suit you, so try it out in person if you can.

Pros: assembly wasnt too difficult, having an extra pair of hands is helpful, directions were diagrammed out and pretty easy to follow. levers for adjusting are easy to use. looks nice the meshed back is nice for letting your back breath when its hot. arm rest material is like a soft textured plastic/rubber, has a slight give to it it, is comfortable. cons: the seat is also just a single mesh layer similar to the back rest (ie this is not a cushion, you SIT on a single mesh layer) .. so i hope it stands up over time. And though this will similarly allow breathing its also not particularly comfy.. its on the firm side so may aggravate if sitting for long periods of time like i do.i've already thrown a pillow on their to cushion it up some and will prolly add more. to adjust the arm rests laterally will require loosening the screws that hold them on. the material for back rest & seat is abrasive against the skin. covered skin is fine, but anywhere that isnt covered (such as if you're wearing shorts or a skirt, or short sleeves etc) will feel scratchy against the material. Wearing short sleeves i often rub the backs of my arms against the edges of the backrest and it isn't very comfortable. Someone that is 'big & tall' may not have this as your shoulder base will likely cause your arms to clear the edges. and maybe this will wear in? I envision throwing a light blanket or something over it. this is nitpicky.. but again i basically will live in the chair 8 hrs a day for work.. in-between: the back rest recline is very firm (unless you're heavy i suppose)..i literally have to forcibly push against it to make it recline instead of it simply reclining with gravity plus my weight .. in other words though i'm around 177 lbs, its firm enough to still hold me upgright even with the recline lock in the unlocked position for reclining. This may not happen though if you're around 6' tall or so, i'm under that height so i think the leverage just isnt enough to easily cause the recline. anyway, an ok chair, i'm not going thru the hassle to return, but i wouldn't buy again.

This model is surprisingly easy and fast to assemble, and feels very comfortable. The armrests don't fold out the way, but their height is adjustable. With mesh seats, be careful to keep them clean since it's hard to get food out of them.

I've used mine daily for several months and the quality/comfort is night and day from my old gaming chair. If you work from home at all or generally use any computer or desk space regularly, catching one of these on sale is a great way to help your future back! Assembly was only mostly straightforward with not a lot of labels on which way the pieces are facing; my first attempt ended up with the arm rests upside down.
