Does it last a long time and is it sturdy? Does it lean back?

The hydraulics do not last. We've only had this chair for 10 months. Plus have tried to contact the company but their website set off my virus protection. Can't find a phone number to actually spesk to a human being.

It does lean back. But if you're near the weight limit of the chair and actually use it as a full time business chair it starts failing around the 10 month mark. I just got a warranty extension because the seat part deflated and metal spikes came out of the front of the chair.

Since I've only had it a few months I cannot tell you its lifespan. However, it is very sturdy and it does lean back. And you are able to adjust the tension for leaning back.I highly recommend it.

Yes it does leans back. For a chair that is supposed to be for someone heavier, it is really loosey goosey and I have had casters break in less than a year.

It's sturdy,leans back.Only had it three or four months,no problems yet. Should last along time.

Does it last a long time? -- I'm 6'4"/260 and use it daily in my home-based office and after 8 months it's starting to give out. I'll guess that I'll either give it away or put it out for the trash by it's 1 year anniversary....Is it sturdy? -- Initially, yes - now, the arms have come loose and the piston is failing (so the seat sinks and rocks side-to-side).Does it lean back? -- yes, the entire seat and back will lean back comfortably.

Amazon puts the weight limit at 350lb but the manufacturer's website states it at 400lb. I am 6'0 220lbs. I work from home, so I am in this chair 12 to 16 hours a day. The cylinder started to leak at 3 months. Base plate started to crack after 5 months. You can squeeze a little more life out of the base plate and cylinder if you never lock the chair so you can't lean back.I used to burn thru 1 to 2 of the cheap chairs a year. Do yourself a favor and spend the money and buy a "24 Hour Chair". They usually cost around $400-$600. Some "24 Hour chairs" even come with a 5 to 10 year warranty.

It does not lean back which sucked. And it broke...I maybe got a year out of it. But I'm a big guy, the metal down in the base actually broke, arms were constantly coming loose, some other things. I would never buy this chair again.

I weigh over 300 pounds and I've broken other chairs; this one is working fine. It has shown no weaknesses. The weak point of most chairs, where the wheels attach, is all metal with no apparent weakness. It leans back to a comfortable degree. If you are going to use it on carpet, I would suggest a chair mat to make it roll easily - but that is true for any chair with wheels.

I am heavy but well under the max weight for this thing it has broken twice on me. It does lean back but its the entire seat not just the backrest like most office chairs. The fake leather is also fraying and coming apart and the padding in the seat itself went completely flat. I have had to call the manufacture twice now for replacement parts and I have had the chair less than a year. I would not recommend anyone buy this lemon.

No, it leans against the wall. It's well made (you assemble), but once it's put together it's very sturdy. It seems to be designed so that when you add weight it gets more firm.

I sit on it often (at 230lb). It does have some flex, but durability has not been an issue.

Its pretty sturdy. Not sure how much weight it will hold. We have 2 laptops on it and you can lean on it with no problem.

Yes, it's very sturdy. The design is very open and airy so that it doesn't look bulky and heavy. The only trouble I had assembling it was that I was by myself. It's doable but would be easier with someone to help you. Screwing the chair cushion was a little difficult. Over all, I'm happy with it.

This is a heavy duty piece of furniture. There is no wobble or lean. I have had it for about 1 year.

I have had mine for a year. So far it holds up fine. The lumbar supports help a lot in an area that does tend to blow out over time.

It is very sturdy - I would expect it to last for some time (until the user gets to 75 lbs). There is a maintenance procedure which should extend the life of this product.

Hi Lori, I was pleasantly surprised and yes it is very sturdy. It was much nicer then i expected for the money.

This one seems very sturdy. I have only had it a month or so,which is not a long time, but I have used it a lot and it does seem to function very well. I recommend that you give it a try. I think you'll be happy with it.

It's very sturdy. Several pounds at least. Just make sure that the support dowels are friction tight or glued.

It's very sturdy. I have a hard back, thick, heavy book on it currently and it does a beautiful job accommodating it!

We use it for going back & forth to the beach but yes, it is pretty sturdy, I think it would be fine for long distance.

Yes, I do sit on this for extended periods when it is not being used and it is sturdy.

I've been using this bench in my home gym training clients on it 6 days a week for the last 6 months and it's held up for me no problem. I've never experienced it being wobbly or flimsy

Is pretty sturdy. The back isn't real wide, but it works perfect as a desk chair.
