Purchased this one directly from Shoplet. I'm sitting in it as I write this review. It is fantastically comfortable, certainly the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. The base and the arms are entirely aluminum as claimed. The style is superb and the assembly doesn't even require the tools shipped with it.

I have only one problem with: It's just a bit too small for me. The specs say 29inch back and it is, if you measure from the very bottom of the back, which extends just below the base of the seat. Now, I'm a pretty huge guy, so this probably won't be a problem for most, but I've gotta ship it back because of it.

It's a shame, because it's so wonderfully comfortable! Hmm, it does have 30-days money back... maybe I'll hold on to it until I get a bigger chair in ;)

This is a very nice chair. As another review mentioned it is somewhat small. I am about 5'7" and it is very comfortable for long periods of working at my desk. The arms are rock solid which is where I have had problems in the past with other chairs. Easy and quick to setup. I definitely recommend.

Great chair. Easy to put together, and easy to sit in. The tension is not overly tight to where you can lean back and stay leaned back without it propelling you forward like a slingshot, which is great for me. The leather is nice. I haven't had it long, so I can't say the durability is there necessarily. It does seem to have decent materials though. I have already heard a little squeaking going on however, but I don't think it has anything to do with quality, and may just need a little oiling in the joints.

It doesn't seem real sturdy though, and that would be my only complaint, which is why I took away a star. And I mean that it wobbles slightly since you just basically sit it inside the opening on the base, without anything to hold it in place other than weight.

The thick cushioned arm rests are awesome for resting your elbows. The seat and back are extremely comfortable. I sit at the computer for several hours a day, and I can do it without a lot of discomfort finally. The back is the best part in my opinion. The stitching is thick as well, which I think is a great feature, being that I'm pretty rough on chairs. It rolls very smoothly and easily.

Now, as far as the height on the back seat, it's not ideal for someone who would want to rest their head back. I'm about 5'6" and I can lean my head back without much problem, although the back goes about as far as the base of my neck. However, if you're above 5'7"..then the back will not be high enough for you to be able to lean your head back in my opinion, so please keep that in mind. I thought it would be high enough for my husband, but it wasn't.

So far it has been great. I will update if there are any changes, or if it doesn't seem to hold up well after a while of heavy use.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
