I bought this chair in July of 2019 looking for a good replacement to one of the folding chairs that has little to no butt and back support that I was using in lieu of having a nice office chair. After researching extensively, checking reviews and other websites for the consistency of reviews (reviewmeta.com) I decided that this was the best office chair to fit my needs. I was 290 lbs, a 6'2 male who wanted good support, comfort and reliability in the chair that I was sitting in in terms of the pressurized canisters that support the structural base of the chair. In America, you might not expect to have a pressurized canister collapse and fail, but with poorly made chairs, this is a (slight) but actual possibility that can occur where a chair impales you.
I am a heavier guy and I fluctuate in weight so I wanted a chair with structural integrity and support that could allow me to work at my desk for hours on end. The chair, after two years, is still holding up strong with little wear and tear and is functionally very useful. The assembly of the chair wasn't too hard and the instructions were easy to follow. The only problem was that some of the bolt ports were misaligned slightly so I had to rig the chair at a certain angle to fit the bolts within the chair in terms of proper guiding (to align the bolts).
I place a lot of trust in this chair and it has done me well, like most Amazon Basic products. I support Amazon Basic products even given what you might think of Amazon's own proprietary listings versus independent vendors, they do an extremely good job at providing safe and quality products to consumers at a good price, wherein ofcourse, they make a good profit themselves.
The upholstery of the synthetic leather is excellent as well. It is a nice consistent material of smooth consistency which is accommodating to the tactile sensibilities of someone looking for relaxation while they sit in the seat. This seat has accommodated me for hours on end, sometimes up to 18 hours a day, where it provided sufficient comfort and relaxation as I focused on the work I was doing at my desk.
The only two problems I had with this seat is that it is canted too much at an odd angle. It is much more so at about 75 degrees instead of orthogonal, but I would have preferred an orthogonal seat, but still, it was a great chair for a great price, with excellent reliability and consistency in its manufacturing process.
The second problem was that the lumbar support deflates after nine months of cranking the lumbar support to maximum. My solution is that there needs to be a layered set of materials, wherein the outer layer and inner layer, should be respectively switching between a material layer of springiness and firmness, wherein the expansion and contraction forces maintain rigidity but flexibility over time.
Still, for what it is, this is an excellent chair. Almost every other office chair I have used over the course of my life has failed within six months, even within weight grade wherein the chair was supposed to support my weight.

Initial thoughts - Love it
I received this chair approximately one hour ago so this review is on initial thoughts and setup. I may update it down the road and will tag it as such if I do.tldr; don't tighten the screws more than a few turns til they are all in. Fits me as a big and tall well, but if I were much shorter it would be too big. Would recommend to anyone over 5'10"-6'0"!Setup - 28 minutesFrom cutting the top of the box to sitting in the chair took me approximately 28 minutes. I have experience assembling other households items such as grills and dressers, but I took my time reading the instructions before each step to make sure I wouldn't have to back track. YMMV.The pieces all fit together easily. The only part I struggled a bit with was getting the first two screws in when attaching the back. The back is designed to sit tightly against the seat, so the cushion naturally fights you while trying to get things together. If you have a second person get them to push the seat into position while you thread the screws. If you are flying solo get the back as close to the right position as you can, squeeze it into place then hold the back tightly against the arm to get the screw into place. With small hands you may consider using a clamp with something soft between it and the seat to prevent damage.Don't tighten any of the screws more than a few twists to hold it in place and you should have minimal issues getting it all together. Once all screws are in, tighten each one a few turns then move to the next, circling around until all are snug. This will help everything fall into place smoothly. Note- I got a couple scratches on the arm from the screws that go into the back of the seat, but as long as you use caution when tightening the scratches will get covered by the plastic plug.Initial Thoughts:The seat has a lot more cushion than I am used to so it feels like I am sitting high. My old seat cushion is blown out from years of use, so it will definitely take a bit of getting used to. I am 6'1" and with the seat at it's lowest I've got about 1/2" before it would start picking my heels up off the ground. If my legs were too much shorter it would be too big, but then again this is a big and tall chair, so it's just right!This chair has more lumbar support than any office chair I have sat in, but unfortunately it's pretty firm at it's max. A couple twist down from max makes it pretty comfortable. I like significantly more lumbar support than most, and will supplement this with a tempurpedic pillow, so this is not an issue for me. This is why I gave the Ergonomic rating a 4. If the Lumbar was slightly more cushioned at it's max I would give it a 5, regardless of my desire for excessive lumbar support.
