First let me say that I am 61 and weigh 315. I unboxed the chair and had it assembled in about 35 minutes using my own tools, socket and allen wrench. I will admit i was kind of leary to sit in it at first but was instantly put at ease once i did. This is a VERY solid chair. I heard no creaks, squeaks, or other noises at all when i sat down. It does make you sit a little more upright than im used to,but i hardly see that as a bad thing. It reclines back and locks in place solidly anywhere in between full recline and being full upright position. I did replace the wheels straight out of the box with the roller blade style wheels, not because anything was wrong. But because i like how they roll on my floor. Ive had the chair about a week now and cant see anything happening to it in the foreseeable future as it is a solid, well built chair.
UPDATE: Well, it took almost four and a half years.but the main plate on the bottom of the chair broke beyond repair. I suppose I could have tried to weld it. But I opted to purchase another chair. Not sure if I will purchase this one again or not. It did last the time mentioned without any problems.
Very comfortable chair!
