I received the office chair with everything I needed to assemble it. It is quite heavy, so I recommend having a table or someone else to assist when attaching the back of the chair to the seat. Assembly was pretty straightforward with the exception of the height-adjustment lever. The directions have you assemble the base with the wheels and then the hydraulic piece. The next step is attaching the height-adjustment lever to the seat. In the picture in the directions it reflects a washer being placed before the screw, but after the third screw was inserted I noticed I was short a washer. There were extra pieces and I used that. Following along to the next step, I attached the arms of the chair. Once I finished with that, I started to attach the back of the chair to the seat and noticed it required three washers and, of course, there was none left. It was then that I realized I used the washers in the wrong place and why I only had three to begin with. So, after I removed the screws from the height-adjustment part, I used the washers for the back of the chair. The final step was to attach the chair to the base. Once attached, I sat in the chair and attempted to adjust the height, but it was not working. I stood and adjusted the height by lifting the chair while pulling the lever and it worked fine. After that, I sat in the chair to make sure it would work while I was in the chair and it did. I have had the chair for about a week and so far it is comfortable and I like how the arm rests can move back out of the way similar to how they are in a car. There is also a comfortable reclined position when leaning back in the chair. The only thing that would be nice is if the seat could adjust freely by sliding forward to give a little room between the back of the chair and the seat, to adjust for the lower lumbar. This could probably be adjusted manually, but it would be nice to do so with another lever. Overall, the chair is really nice and comfortable. Love it! It looks great and arrived with no ...
