Comments

For the money, this is a great chair. It has most of the adjustments. And, three adjustments are labeled. However, some of them are difficult to use. There is a cluttering problem of adjustments on the right side of the chair, and they interfere with each other. Specifically, the armrest width adjustment is very hard to use because the seat height adjustment is directly underneath it. At the same time ,the seat height adjustment is difficult to get to because the armrest gets in the way. The tension adjustment is typical, and it is hard to adjust while seated. The backrest has the ratchet adjustment, but it's hard to get to the top level without going too high up, in which case the backrest falls all the way down, and you have to try again. On a positive note, there is a very large range of adjustment. This chair should be able to accommodate most of the population.
