ZURI Gates Genuine Leather Aluminum Base High Back Executive Chair - Dark Brown

PROS:*High quality leather, good stiffness, suggesting a long life. Feels like an automotive sports car chair that way, but perhaps a bit softer.*Metal in places where cheaper competitors use painted plastic (wheel hub, arms)*Large casters, meaning it rolls easily over carpet and the like*Cushy armrests*Easy to assemble: 8 screws (that's it!), hex key provided with package*High back: your head will definitely rest on the head restCONS:*PriceOriginally I was very disappointed with the overly high seating position due to a long lift cylinder, but after a year or so the leather and cushions softened to a degree that the height is now just right for me.Note I am 6'1" and 220lbs, and (when I bought it) at the LOWEST setting, my knees are at 90* and my heels barely touch the floor. At the highest setting, my feet literally dangled off the edge of this chair. SoDO YOUR HOMEWORK: at the lowest setting, the floor to top of the cushion measurement is 19 inches. An inch can make all the difference between a chair that is comfortable and one that makes you feel a little ridiculous. This chair will barely let my knees underneath the slide out keyboard on my desk.VERDICT: Great chair...but you have to sit in it quite a while before it reaches its maximum potential. Now that it's broken in, its the best chair I've ever owned.

I bought this chair almost a year ago to the month. Incredibly comfortable, the brown leather is gorgeous, BUT, This chair will not hold up. The screws holding the arm rest will not hold up. Their just way to short and flimsy for daily use. Im having the arm rests held up with that 6 inch BULL Tape, Cow tape, Gorilla Tape,( cant remember the name) anyway its one of those really strong tapes from Home Depot. This is really a shame cause its a very comfortable chair ( for one year!!!!)

The chair arrived in two shipments on two different days, which I believe was communicated by Zuri Furniture via email. The contents of each box were well packaged and protected. One of the boxes had external damage, but the contents were not damaged. I found the assembly to be very straight forward and the directions to be fairly clear and easy to follow. The bolts are pretty much idiot proof to prevent using them in the wrong locations. All of the components seemed to be of high quality and very well made. I personally think the chair is very attractive and it reminds me of sitting in a high quality leather car seat. I also found the chair to be very comfortable, especially when sitting in it for long periods. The chair has all of the adjustments needed to satisfy my requirements and I especially like the fact that I can lock the chair tilt in virtually any position. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and found the price to be in line with the quality of the product that I received. I could not rate support, as I didn't need any. Great job Zuri Furniture!

It's on the pricey side and that bares out in the build quality, which seems pretty good; not stellar but better that the last few cheapo chairs that this replaces. A couple things I wish I'd have known before ordering. 1) It is very firm. Kind of like some European automobiles. 2 the lumbar bolster is very, very pronounced. It's quit comfortable to work from but I don't think I'll be falling asleep in it.I do like the fact that the back is quite tall and the feel of the leather is really nice.

This is a beautiful looking chair that is not for most people. The chair is very large (I am 6' tall), with the armrests being a whole 2 feet apart. The back of the chair curves backwards at a very strong angle, with around 10 inches between the foremost part of the chair and the top of the back. Sitting back on this chair makes one feel as if they are getting ready to blast off in a rocket ship rather than relaxing on an office chair. It is quite awkward to use as an office chair, especially for typing as it forces your arms so far apart. I find it impossible to maintain good posture while working at my computer on this chair, and have developed chronic back pain since buying it. Simply put, this chair is no good for anything except looking good.

I am not a big fan of writing reviews, but when the product is impressive, i'm more compelled. This chair is so nice. I paid around 200 for my previous chair, it looked nice, but that's about it. This chair is easily 10 times nicer than my 200 dollar chair.Yes most chairs at big chain stores are about half as much as this chair. But this chair is much better. If you are looking for a chair that you will spend a lot of time in, consider comfort, ergonomics, options and so on. When looking at Leather, there are many things to consider. Is it upholstered leather like this chair? PU leather (Fancy wording for synthetic Leather) probably actually a vinyl, Bonded Leather ( once it's worn out, it's trash). You get what you pay for with this chair.It is real leather, Upholstered. Meaning, it could actually be recovered if so desired, it can be rebuilt. This is not a chair that needs to be thrown away after a certain number of years of use. If so desired you could buy it, use it for 10 years, then redo the seat. It can be completely rebuilt.So you go this route and you buy a chair that could potentially last you an extremely long time.OrBuy a lesser expensive chair, that may look nice initially, but it'll end up in the dumpster after a certain period of time.This chair is comfortable for all day use, it's real leather, soft nice leather at that, rebuildable, has good options. I don't regret this investment.Additionally:If you read a review about a guy who says he is 6' tall, and the jack / cylinder is insanely tall, disregard that. Either it really was too tall at one point or his legs are insanely short.Currently, At the lowest setting, my feet easily and comfortably reach the ground. I'm 5'10 and pretty normal proportions of leg / torso length.
