Boss Office Products B16245-BK Be Well Medical Spa Drafting Sool with Back in Black

Only received one and it was missing a part! I bought a shorter version a couple of years ago and love it. Something was very wrong with this order!

Está muy cómoda pero es demasiado alta

I received my new drafting chair yesterday and it's the perfect height and very comfortable. I'm 5'8" and about 140, and the cushioned barstool I was using as a chair at my stand up desk was painful... my legs sometimes fell asleep after sitting in it for 30 minutes. This drafting chair, by contrast, is LUXURY. It's cushy, and the back and foot support keep me from slouching at the desk. I love that it has casters, but it will take some getting used to as it rolls very easily in my studio, which has wood flooring. The first time I got into the chair, I wasn't holding onto my desk to keep from rolling. So I bumped into the wall. It was packed well and there were no broken parts. The chair base, support structure, footrest, and backrest support bar are all made with a heavy gauge metal. The backrest support bar has a plastic covering on over it. I was impressed at how well made it was. The plastic that covers the portion that connects the legs and the gas piston is thin plastic. And whoever put that on the legs at the manufacturer didn't snap them together well. But I was able to do it myself and it looks fine. I read a review that said this was broken on someone else's shipment. Mine wasn't. It just wasn't snapped together well. I don't see a problem with it coming apart in the future. It's a snug connection that just required a little effort. It was also easy to put together. My 9-year-old son, who loves LEGOS was eager to help me and he did so with ease. The instructions were straight forward illustrations.., except the perspective on the back support was off so it was confused us for a few minutes. But we figured it out eventually. Sidenote: ALL companies could take a lesson from LEGO on how to design instruction guides that are so simple kids could put things together. ;) The cushion is very thick. The back is springy. The chair is bigger than I expected but still works well in my tiny studio. The one minor complaint I have is that the color of the chair looks dirty gray/tan. Not the light tan leather looking fabric that I saw in the Amazon image. I know the difference between screen color and actual color...but this was a bit too off and might be an issue for others. No worries, though. I'm a graphic designer and I planned on painting the cushions with vinyl fabric spray if the color didn't work in my studio. I've done it before. It's a bit more work, but I am a stickler for color harmony. :) I will update this review, if I can, in the future to let you know if the gas piston holds up. The chair comes with a 30-day warranty which was unexpected. I hope I don't have to use it. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and if this one holds up, I'm planning to buy more chairs from BOSS. One for my voiceover booth, and one for a sitdown desk. My son has even requested a chair for his homework desk.

Received chair with missing part. Contacted seller who not only shipped missing part, but provided link to video detailing how to install it. Great professional service. Solid, good looking, comfortable chair with a wide range of height adjustment. The struggle was well worth it.

This is a very sturdy and quality built unit. The lowest seat position is taller than what most would want to use as a stool for use in kitchen food prep or such use. For me it works just perfect. I have back problems and need to sit while I try to cook and this works great to push around on my hardwood floors. I did order another set of casters that were made for wood floors after reading another reviewer that stated that they would recomend doing so. I am not sure if it was needed or not. I just did not want to take the chance. The legs are metal and strong so I feel that there will be no issues or problems with them. I bought a different stool made with plastic legs that had one break and I fell in a heap on the floor and with my numerous back fusion surgeries I really could have had a major problem on my hands! The backrest on this one is much nicer than the previous which lacked one. Shipping was very quick and because I choose the Super Saver Shipping it was no charge freight. Assembly was very quick and easy with just a Phillips screwdriver to attach the seat base and a hammer (I prefer rubber mallet) to tap in casters and foot ring / gas lift in place etc. The overall quality and fit and finish I think that you will find above average to most anything else that you will find anywhere near this price point. Those of you familiar to seeing the short medical stools that most Dr. office's have, I think will most often be this same brand and seat base- regardless of black or beige..... both colors available here. (only mentioned for you to use for reference). If any of this information changes after I use it further I will return and update the info!
