Comments

For the money, this is an ok chair. Three of the adjustments are labeled. The armrest width adjustment required a screwdriver and time to adjust 8 screws. The armrest height can be adjusted by buttons on the outside of the armrests. Unfortunately, the armrests don't adjust low enough or pivot. The seat height adjustment is in the typical location, center of the seat pan. Tension adjustment is the standard knob under the seat. The seat tilts forward, but will not allow backward tilt. There is no seat pan adjustment, which means the chair must be purchased with a particular person in mind. The backrest has a knob adjustment, which makes it somewhat difficult to do while seated. On a positive note, there is a very large range of adjustment for the height of the backrest. Options exist for lumbar support but were not evaluated. This chair will accommodate most people and especially people who are small in stature.
