Not a review writer ... Not one to return items ... This chair will require monthly maintenance.
I have had the chair for one week.  Am returning.  The shape in appearance is nice, will fit in small places.  The chair is not a light color nor a dark color but far darker than the photos. It is like a desert sand color.  It does have a warehouse smell to it.  The wood is much darker in color, like a dark cherry wood.<br />The real problems are that the chair screws nor the tension knobs,  "grip"  The ottoman screws would not screw all the way down, which leaves it either wobbly or I suppose, the screws could be forced down and then what? ...  Because the arm rail screws will not grip, after one week, both arm rests are loose and creaky when you sit down and especially if the vibration is on.  I weigh 120lbs.  The tension rods have no grib whatsoever and are just sitting in place where they should screw in and out for tension. The tension rods are a mystery to me, they just do not fit (maybe a manufacturing flaw) since I purchased the chair new.  IF you have muscle spasms at all, RUN from this chair.  It does not recline smoothly at all and brings on instant spasms, at least for me!  The chair could be oiled? The screws corrected?  BUT, I do not want to pull maintenance on this chair every other week or so.  And eventually......, well, you get the picture.<br />I don't usually write reviews, but thought this might help someone.  Also, please note:  I read the previous reviews before I purchased the chair.  Alot of the above had been mentioned, but I  thought maybe the assembly had not been done correctly - however, it appears that other  purchasers are experiencing the same issues.
