I like to think of myself as a guy that seeks out comfort. Being over six feet tall, and weighing as much as I do, puts a lot of stress on my joints, so finding a chair that falls within my price range, and is still comfortable, is often difficult.

Most of the time, I find myself sitting in chairs that are either too stiff, too shaky (due to my higher than average center of gravity), or the back is too short. These are the moderately nice office chairs I'm talking about, not some upholstered thing.

I can't remember the last time I was this comfortable in a chair. Well, that's a lie, but the chair I'm thinking about was at least three times more expensive!

The best thing about it has to be the way you can recline in the thing, put your feet up, and not feel like a strong breeze will knock the thing over. Seriously, my friend has accidentally bumped into the side at speed and it remained rock-solid steady.

I did have some trouble assembling the thing though. Nothing that wouldn't have been solved with a second person helping.

Another complaint I had initially was the amount of force required to put of the foot rest. Over time, however, that problem has lessened significantly. I don't think I'm doing anything differently. Perhaps the mechanism was tight having come from the factory? Regardless, it's almost effortless now (two weeks into the purchase).

The only other con is that with the base exposed like that, I think it doesn't really work aesthetically unless its next to a desk or something, and the lack of wheels makes getting into and out of said desk a chore. Also, the thing is difficult to get through door ways fully assembled.

I would seriously recommend that people give this chair a good long looking at if you are interested in a comfortable, sturdy, and all around awesome place to sit. The flipping arms of the thing are even perfect for using an optical mouse!
