I come from some kitchen chairs that came with my small table, which were uncomfortable and too small for my needs. This chair is exactly what has been missing from every other amazon chair I've looked up. It's sturdy, comfortable, very sleek and modern, compact and lightweight for its size. Its design is completely minimalist so if you're looking for a luxury comfort chair with "spinal memory foam support" or something crazy like that, look elsewhere. To clarify on the point that it's comfortable for me: I'm 6' 0" 155 lbs, so I'm average weight for my height, and this chair fits me perfectly with optimal cushioning. Now for a bigger person with more muscle/width/mass/density, this chair may not have enough padding on the seat and/or it may be too small for you, so don't be afraid to look into the higher tier chairs that Flash Furniture sells. I know for a fact that just from the pictures alone, the FD-BHF-1-GG model has about twice the amount of cushioning that this chair does.PROS:Sturdy, like rock solid, volcano-forged steel sturdyMinimalist, can't really complain about this simple and timeless designCheap for what is being offeredPadding is sufficient for a 155 lb maleLightweight and portable (as portable as a non-foldable chair is going to get!)CONS:Does not offer as much back support as a chair with a bigger back design. This is a half-con because this is what I expected completely from my purchase.Comes pre-assembled in a GARGANTUAN box.This chair came in a HUGE brown box, and I mean a COLOSSAL box, completely assembled. It nearly matched the height of my apartment door. I was surprised my delivery guy even bothered dealing with it! However, this worked out in my favor as it was simply a matter of taking the box inside my apartment and unpacking it. Now this point could either mean the sellers knew that the chair would not break during shipment (boggles my mind how sturdy this thing must be!), or that the seller skimped on packaging. That's on them, not the product.Also, don't sit in this chair without a shirt on because the metal on top of the back padding is really cold. That's expected, however, for a metal frame. 5/5 would recommend to anyone needing new chairs for their apartment. Keep in mind, though, that it is probably not suited for the outdoors because of the foam padded seats.I've had this chair for about a week now and I will update this review if anything breaks, or if I am still satisfied with this purchase a few months in the future.
