Seat split near seam after about a year
Overall, the chair was fine for use at a computer -- reasonably adjustable, fairly sturdy, and easy to roll about. However, after about a year the material near the seam pulled away from the sewed seam (the seam didn't split) . I weigh 165, so it's not as though it was overloaded. To fix it, I have to take out all the staples and reinforce the seam area. It will remain split for a while (even covers for stools cost about half what I paid for the stool).<br />Update: even though it was kept inside, after about 3 years the seat cover began to disintegrate around the sides.
