There was no tool for assembling the chair. I had a small one that let me put it together except it was to small to tighten the arm rest so the arm rest are wobbly. The chair leans slightly forward and I have to get up and set back in the chair constantly. There is also a hump right where I sit in the chair.

I ordered it on line and it was delivered on time. The box was rough and beat-up but no damage to the chair.

I searched high and low for a new office chair (I work from home) that had a wide-enough seat and exceeded my weight limit. So many places say they offer bariatric chairs that aren't REALLY bariatric chairs. So glad to find this chair! I was hesitant to spend that much money, but I'm glad I did. The chair is very comfortable and sturdy, and glides really well on the floor. Definitely needed a second person to help put the chair together (they pushed the back of the chair forward while I attached the armrests to the seat and the back- I would not have been able to connect the armrests otherwise). You would probably be just fine without the armrests if it is too difficult to attach. Timely shipping and delivery, and received emails from the company to reach out if needed. Only giving 4 stars because the box was delivered in very bad shape- large slice in one corner that you could see contents inside, and the box was not sealed shut on another side. Thankfully, no pieces were missing, and no damage at all to the chair itself, but I was pretty sure from the looks of the box that the chair was going to be damaged. Overall, so pleased to be able to find such a great office chair!

I contacted customer service to ask if they had any promotions/sales on the chair I was interested in (no, but free shipping) and if they sold to individuals also or just companies (yes).

A great deal and no hassles.

I had been looking all around for a chair that would both fit my needs for a larger person as well as not break the bank. This product was the best of both!

The website was so easy to navigate. It was great not having to sift through hundreds of choices to find what I was looking for. Filtering options were great. Wonderfully surprised by the speed of shipping and the willingness of the company to provide any assistance needed. Have never had a company reach out to provide assistance instead of relying on me to reach out. Top notch service!

Good chair , it just needs metal wheel caster’s instead of plastic at the price point it is.

The chair is good , it's a little pricey to have plastic wheels though

Awesome chair for a great price, finally after going through what seemed like a dozen chairs from people who claimed their chairs supported someone up to 500lbs and then inevitably breaking down in 6 months, this chair delivers! It holds up to my weight (under 500), its wide seat is amazing and comfortable. And purchasing the in-line like wheels in addition was such a smart move. Seriously I cannot thank y'all enough for making a chair that does exactly what it says.

Easy to purchase, easy to assemble. The best most comfortable chair I have ever sat in.
PC - 04/17/2023
The chair was a bit more expensive than other models I looked at elsewhere. But it comes with a warranty so I'm hoping that will cover any kind of issues that may come up.

They were very thorough and quick to respond

Width of the chair is great, but arm connections are weak and the cushioning is terrible. It supports 500 lbs but is not comfortable.
04/17/2023 - AZ
There are limited options for a chair this wide so I kept it, but this chair is very uncomfortable. I have to now purchase a new cushion so I can be comfortable. Also one of the Arms is so loose it's a matter of time before it falls off. Whatever it screws into seems to have failed. For $800, I'm very disappointed in this chair. I would have considered exchanging it but I'm not shelling out more money for return shipping. I hope Modern Office sees this and reaches out to make it right, but I'm not spending more money on trying to send this back. I do appreciate the width and in that regard it works but it's like sitting on a brick.

excellant

This is a STURDY chair! We have used it for about a month and it is working out great. Very roomy and easy to assemble. The seat of this chair is not as padded as our last few chairs; an extra cushion solved this situation. But everything else about this chair is stellar...

Easy to order and assemble the chair. Very Sturdy and comfortable. Added another cushion to the seat made it perfect for me.

It was great
Ron D - 10/13/2022
Seems like a nice chair. Only problem I see is the arm rest is to narrow. Should be wider.
10/13/2022 - IA
Arm rest needs to be wider otherwise nice chair
Vern - 10/12/2022
It was easy to put together, though having an extra person would have made it even easier. It's comfortable and very attractive. So far it is working well.

Seem to be a wonderful company. Received the chair in two days!

This chair is as good as advertised, it’s sturdy and comfy, worth the extra money for an oversized chair.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
