Got this chair to withstand daily use as I now work from home.  After a few weeks I noticed it was leaning to the right but thought it was just me.  I would look for breaks or cracks in the weld but nothing.  After a month or so, every time I moved in the chair it would crack and creek making loud noises.   I have since purchased a new chair and took this chair apart only to find the base was bent.  Not sure if it came that way or if something happened to make it bend.   I probably o relooked from the beginning since the chair I was replacing was in terrible shape.   Be aware may not last for daily use.
