The seat arms are as bare-bones as they arrive. You may’t twist or transfer them nearer or additional out of your physique—simply up and down.

Budgeting Conundrum
I’ve examined practically 60 chairs over the previous few years, most north of $350. When a chair does come throughout my desk (heh) and it is beneath $200, it is typically poorly constructed and has too many flaws, which is why you do not see lots of them in my Greatest Workplace Chairs information.
The Dexley has flaws, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a strong chair I am comfortable to advocate for anybody on a strict price range. It would not creak or make horrible sounds once you shift within the seat, not like some chairs I’ve tried, and also you get an honest set of changes.

In case you do not need to trouble deconstructing the chair and delivery it again, you possibly can carry it to a Staples retailer to course of the return, offered you embody all the pieces and it is nonetheless in pristine situation. That is a sensible option to be sure to benefit from the seat, price range or not.
