Bill, 8 days ago i bought online:
https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/...ather-task-stool-360-footrest-with-armrests-1
The chair shipped UPS, arrived yesterday in two separate boxes, 7 days from order, coast to coast free shipping. Manufactured and packed in Taiwan, to Global's specifications. Very simple assembly, good quality sturdy chair. The chair swivels 360º, raises & lowers with a single handle, tilts fore & aft with another, seat back height adjustable for initial setup, recline angle adjustable with a handle.
The wheels are hard plastic, may prove weak over time, but are standard replaceable chair casters. Seat & back appears to be leather as described, stitching appears good. Seat back riser has a non functional sleazy thin plastic cover, I may end up simply removing it for simplicity.
In use, difficult to climb aboard in either high or low position, as it rolls away while you climb up. Once aboard, very comfortable, but without ability to plant your feet firmly on the floor, not the easiest to navigate along the floor with the rollers. All this due simply to the hieght of the chair, which would be the same no matter what chair you buy. What would help a lot I think, is to buy the optional armrests, which I did not. My chair had the 360º foot rail, glad I got this rather than the 180º rail which may wind up out of position more often than not.
All in all, good service from Global, and as good as it gets for the price in a task chair. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7 for utility, an 8 for quality*, and a 9 for value.
Quality*: Gone are the days of quality products as we knew it in our day. My rating of 8 is based on the quality standards common in today's marketplace.
