Rosewill High Back Leather Executive Chair - Black (RFFC-11001) Rosewill High Back Leather Executive Chair - Black (RFFC-11001)

Pros: I gave this chair 2 eggs because I really liked it. I liked the feel. I liked the level of the arm rests. The chair is comfortable and the height and tilt adjustment works well. Until it failed, I was very happy with this chair. I am giving it 2 eggs because I was very happy with it before it failed on me after 7 months.

Cons: I received my chair on 9/4/12. Today is 5/16/13 and my chair just snapped in half on me. I am not overly large. I'm 6'0, 195-200. I work from home so I use this chair several hours during the week, but I have never abused it. My last desk chair was half the price and lasted over 7 years. I do lean back at times and set my keyboard on my lap with my mouse still on the desk (so not a severe incline), but when I did that today the metal that connected the base to the chair snapped and I fell backwards and the chair was ruined. Thankfully, I just fell over and didn't have anything behind me that I could crack my head on. It is somewhat comedic, but it is also dangerous depending upon the setup in your office.

I spoke with a pleasant woman in customer service who stated that they'll send me a new chair though I'll have to pay the return shipping for the faulty chair. We'll see what happens. It seems very ridiculous to have a chair like this fail after only 7 months. I agreed to pay the return shipping, but after typing this up I'm reconsidering. I'll edit my review after I talk to them about return shipping.

I will say I've been happy with Rosewill products overall over the last two or three years. I bought this chair because of the trust I had developed from previous items. I've recommended Rosewill products to friends and family over the last several years which has led to many different sales. I've never heard any complaints from anyone. Still, I'll be very reluctant to buy large items from them in the future due to the potential return fees. There is no excuse for a $119 chair lasting only 7 months.

Pros: Fairy easy installation just need to screw in some nuts and bolts. Price was excellent bought when was on sale for 80 -20 promo code - 20 MIR brought total to 45.

Cons: only thing i brought one star down was the padding is very little to none have to sit on a pillow or can't sit on chair for more than 1 hour

Other Thoughts: Some say chair isn't made from leather and gave lower rating but i don't know if they fixed this in description but never said it was says "Artificial Leather" also some stated that it broke and they under the weight limit i'm a big guy 6'' 240 and so far never had any problems of it cracking or failing

Pros: Works well. Comfortable, good support, easy to install.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Installation was easier with two people

Pros: Easy to assemble.

Cons: Doesn't tilt back very far.

Other Thoughts: The chair is not great quality, but you get what you pay for and so I don't consider this to be a con. I am 6'1" and about 220 lbs and I haven't destroyed it yet, so I guess it can't be that cheaply made :). But I would not recommend it for someone my height or someone who has to sit in it for many hours.

Pros: Cheap and free shipping. Supposadly leather.

Cons: This chair is a death trap.
It began falling apart immediatly after purchase. The "leather" began cracking and peeling away within a few months of light use. Rosewill agreed to replace the cushions, but I'd have to send the chair in, which would have cost me shipping. So, I decided to keep the chair and just put a towel over the cracked area and just live with it.
WELL, yesterday, 1 year and 6 days after purchase, the chair tried to kill me. The metal support member at the base of the chair FAILED and the entire seating area of the chair toppled over causing me to fall out of control backwards. I have a bay window directly behind me and I missed this window by inches. If I hit the window with my head, I would have smashed right through and probably would have had VERY SERIOUS INJURIES. Rosewill at first denied my return because it was 6 days past the 1 year warranty. But after I imformed them I would have the local news come over and give their opinion on this chair, Rosewill immediatly backed off it's original stance and is now willing to refund me the purchase price of the chair so I can purchase another one. I won't be buying another chair from Rosewill, but I am happy they finally honored their warranty.

Other Thoughts: DO NOT BUY THIS CHAIR UNLESS YOUR WILLING TO SUFFER THE PAIN OF A FAILING CHAIR THROWING YOU TO THE FLOOR AND POSSIBLY THROUGH A WINDOW.
SUPER DANGEROUS CHAIR! STAY AWAY!

Pros: Cheap price. Free shipping at the time.

Cons: Very, very cheap materials.

Other Thoughts: The old adage 'you get what you paid for' applies here. The 'leather' began to crack in various places within 4-5 months of very light use.

Pros: Was comfortable

Cons: The chair started to bend to one side after a few weeks, thought nothing of it at first but it was getting worse. the metal then started bend more leaning back. I'm only 170lbs I would like to think a chair could hold that, but guess not. It finally broke on me with it in the straight up position and snapped off its stand. I wouldn't recommend this chair to anyone.

Pros: Got on sale for $65
So comfortable
Has lumbar support
High back rest

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I'm 6'1" at 195lbs, the high back rest is bliss w/ the lumbar support. Best chair ever!

Pros: Was delivered the next day
Got it at a big sale
Solid and sturdy
Shoots up nice and high

Cons: The arm rests are connected to the back. This means that this chair does not tilt. This is slightly uncomfortable for me since I like my chair to be a bit more flexible and like to sit in odd positions with my legs crossed. This chair is a little less forgiving with that.

Other Thoughts: Overall a very good chair for the price (significantly less than $90 is what I paid for it). Delivery was excellent, I received it the very next day! Doesn't look like it will fall apart, but not quite as flexible as I had hoped it would be. I can tell it's not a high quality chair. It's good enough for me and for the price though.

Pros: None

Cons: It is advertised as Leather,

It is artificial leather in reality, Read the details.

Other Thoughts: Truth in advertising!
