Dear Cellar_Dweller 🙂 In answer to your comments about the chair you purchased. 1) I am in no way a representative of any of the companies selling the chairs that have been discussed. I am just a customer. 2) Other than the difficulty of putting together the model of chair that I purchased. I have experienced (NO) problems with my chair. 3) Shoppers should be aware that there are quite a few models of various manufacturers' desk chairs, that look very similar. I was careful to purchase a chair that has padded armrests. Many of the various chair models, do (NOT) have padded armrests. Shoppers should be extremely careful when reading the descriptions of each model's features, and not rely on just the photos of the chairs. ;-)
