First off, the flip up arms are nice because they flip past the rear of the seat. I have had others that dont and I usually have to modify them to move further back. I always get chairs with those because I am a musician and when I am recording or playing in my studio I need to flip them out of the way. These flip well out of the way. Perfect! I dont have to take it apart and remove material from the stop.
I like the material. I have had chairs with faux leather and they start to peel and crack which is annoying. This chair replaces my old chair with a peeling issue. My wife always thinks there is a bug on my back! No, dear its just chair peel. Anyway, this material seems like it is pretty durable. Time will tell I guess. There are only two things I would like to see. 1. I wish it would drop a little lower. 2 or so. 2. A head rest would be nice. Maybe the mfg could come up with a slip/on over/the/back some day. I have seen other mfgs do that. Other than that Its a pretty nice chair for the beans.
Final note. Some reviewers say that it takes a lot of leg strength to rock\push back. I think perhaps they are unaware of the adjustment knob underneath the seat to adjust the spring tension. Back that off several turns and its just fine. I can lean back with ease after proper adjustment. Love it!
Comfy and seems like it will last
