Hard to set up, easy to use., October 5, 2010
This review is from: Ergonomic Kneeling Posture Office Chair [WL-1429-GG] (Office Product)
Alright, WL-1429-GG. I'm going to do what we call a "compliment sandwich." This is where I tell you two things I like about your performance to-date, and I sandwich them between something you can improve upon.
Let's see... First of all, you're extremely tall. I like that! I haven't sat in a chair that lifted the soles of my feet off the ground since I was in third grade, and that's a nice feeling! You've made all my other office supplies rise to the bar that you've set; I know that Desk, in particular, is considerably jealous. He had grown quite used to keeping Armchair down, but since you keep my knees tucked delightfully underneath me at a smooth angle, he can't keep you down, can he?
Now, room for improvement, hmm.... well, let's talk about your assembly instructions. I know that we've been pushing frugality in this department, and I appreciate your aggressiveness, but... Let's be frank, one single-sided page is just not enough to clearly describe where your ten pieces go. You didn't even bother to label all of them in box (1), just trusting that the tiny, tiny pictures would indicate to your assembler which was which. I have to be honest with you, that's considered a little rude. In addition, screws B and C have identical pictures in your parts listing, but they're different lengths---not that you could guesstimate length from these pictographs. I think I see where you're going with this, but let's go ahead and pull in a graphics artist to help you out a bit. Maybe one of those nice kids from IKEA would be willing to temp for you.
Wrapping up. You're very comfortable. We've heard lots of praise for you from people who want to sit upright! Granted, they've also mentioned that their abs and back aren't used to this posture, but they predict that with a bit of effort, it should be no problem to get accustomed to it. And, they feel more alert and awake than ever at their computer stations!
So, that pretty much covers it. Good work this quarter, and I think we both know what you can work on to improve. Do you have any questions for me?
