CLATINA Big & Tall 500 lb. Guest Chair, Leather Reception Chairs with Padded Arm Rest for Waiting Room Office Home and Meeting Conference-Black

This is a very good guest chair that does not have wheels but I I using as a desk chair. It is good quailty and was easy to asseble

So comfortable and cozy.Assembly process was also easy but the backrest installation was a little bit challenging and hardworking. Overall,Worth it!!

I bought two chairs.Like a lot of other people who follow the included assembly instructions that started with the seat assembled and then attaching the back as in step three.I found it extremely difficult to put the last two screws in on the back.It took maybe 20 minutes to assemble everything except the last two side screws.Those two screws took me another 25 minutes but I finally managed to secure the chair back to the frame.I decided to assemble the second chair the next day.As I went back to Amazon to the chair purchase I noticed there were videos on the main Clatina Chair page.The video starts out by attaching the back of the chair!This makes much more sense and I had a chair easily assembled within 25 minutes.I should've realized that almost every other chair I've assembled starts by attaching the frame to or arms to the back. Then the seat is attached.

Have bought these numerous times for the waiting room in my office. Good arms to steady the elderly

Unlike so many other reviewers, I managed to assemble this chair without TOO much difficulty because my previous experience with several chairs of this type and comments in these reviews have taught me that you shouldn't completely tighten any of the 8 screws until all have been fitted... leaving screws 'loose' allows you to manipulate/adjust the chair pieces, helping to eventually get all screws placed. The chair definitely should have been better designed for easier assembly. In fact, my current chair of the last 3 or so years has functioned with one screw missing because I simply could not screw it in because the frame did not line up with that screw hole. In the past decade I have purchased this general style of chair several times (Big & Tall guest chairs with a sled base) and have had significant difficulty in assembling them.With this CLATINA chair, the glaring problem is that it is a POOR ergonomic design and is therefor completely unusable to me. The seatback is in an excessively reclined position so that when you sit in the chair, the seatback DOES NOT TOUCH YOUR BACK unless you lie back. That is not how a person wants to sit at a computer desk or pretty much any other scenario.As if the lack of back support weren't bad enough, the seat cushion is shallow/short in length from front to back so only shorter/smaller adults and children would have adequate leg support behind their knees. These chairs are SUPPOSED to be for big & tall folk!! I am 6 feet tall and simply cannot use this chair because of the absence of both back and leg support.Furthermore, like many other reviews have mentioned, my chair arrived damaged even though the shipping box itself was not damaged. The underside of the undersized seat cushion has 3 sizable gashes in it revealing the inner materials.Rather than going through the bother of disassembly, repackaging and hauling it to a location to be shipped back and the possible great expense of returning the chair, I guess this chair is just going to serve as a piece of furniture for my cats to sit on whenever they feel like it. However, this leads me to another glaring problem I have experienced with this type of chair. They are made of "bonded" (i.e. poor quality) leather which is essentially a thin "film" on top of fabric. All of the several chairs of this type I have owned have always been susceptible to pet claws. I'm not talking about poorly behaved cats that destroy furniture by using it like a scratching post. Normal incidental contact with pet claws (scrapes) eventually begins to damage the very thin leather film. Once started, over the months this will snowball into the film peeling off bit by bit, leaving flakes of material on your clothing and on the ground until the chair becomes largely bare and looking like the cheap quality piece of garbage it is.In buying this chair I was aware of the possibility of difficult assembly and the fact that the thin leather skin would very soon start to degrade and peel off, leaving me with a progressively uglier chair and necessitating another chair purchase a few years down the road. I was okay with these facts because the previous Big & Tall sled base chairs I have owned have served their purpose as CHAIRS with comfort and support. I had no idea this oddly proportioned, poorly designed CLATINA product would outright fail as a chair with non-existent back support due to an inexplicably reclined seatback and undersized seat cushion that is not long enough from front to back to support a normal-sized human's legs.I'm dumbfounded that this CLATINA product has overall positive ratings. I can only conclude that there are many fake reviews and that many customers rate it as soon as they've assembled it because it looks deceptively nice and not after spending some time trying to actually sit in it.

Works great as podcast chairs. Easy to put together and comfortable.

Excellent chair.

As advertised great sturdy chair, there was talk about no instructions mine came with 2. Also miss alignment don't tight all screws all the way until you hamd tighten them all in first helps with the alignment issue. Took me longer to unpack the protective packaging then to put it together.
