Incorrect assembly mechanism, needs to be returned

I am fairly tall, so I needed a chair that rose higher than the standard 24 to 26 inches off the ground most other chairs max out at. And most well-received budget chairs are in the mid-300's, but I didn't want to spend that much.This chair had a very similar build to other chairs from Office Max I was looking at, and after learning that most chairs come from the same manufacturers overseas, I decided to take a chance on this knockoff version.Very glad I did: sturdy, stylish, breathable and comfortable. And I was able to add-on the Lorell High Back Chair Mesh Headrest with 2 Camvate Universal C-Clamps from Amazon and add much-needed neck support (total cost, around $40). The lumbar support is surprisingly flexible yet sturdy for me.But there's 2 quirks that prevented me from giving this 5 stars.1) The arm and seat padding is OK but not super plush or thick, so I would recommended buying additional pads or cushions. It's fine enough but could be better.2) The chair does lean back and raise quite high, but, you can't lock the chair when it's leaning back, so you have to use you legs to keep that position. Also, if you lean back when it's raised highest, the chair starts to creep down back to the ground.Still, a good value. Pleasantly surprised.

I weight 130 pounds, and the cushion is already flat as if it was constantly under 500 pounds pressure. Bought in january 2020, its now august 2020. Not even a full year.I was satisfied with the purchase when it was new, but 8 months of use of someone my weight is not abuse and it should last longer.

Nice chair. Very comfortable. Would be nice if it had a bit more adjustment but overall very happy with it.

PROS: Seat comfort, Build and materials quality, Value, Useable foot restCONS: Arms do not fold back, Seat height may be too high for some, Height adjustment is tricky when seatedDelivery 4.5 stars - The chair arrived in 2 days as promised. Packaging was ok; No damage, but the long strip of tape across the top was partially open (likely due to shipping and not intentional). The plastic security strip around the box held it together, which was a big plus considering the weight of the package (over 40 lbs). All parts arrived individually wrapped and in great shape.Assembly 4.5 stars - The instructions are straight forward. If you're used to Allen wrench furniture assembly, then putting this chair together will be familiar.Having an extra set of hands to hold pieces togther while you secure things can be a plus. The pieces are big and bulky. Would also recommend attaching the seat to the arms/back before adding the under seat height adjusment. The lever can block one of the holes on the seat bottom. Still doable to assemble the chair per the instructions. Just takes some patience.Comfort 4.5 stars - Initial impressions (day one)Good seat padding. The lumbar support is also good, but not adjustable. The quality of the foot rest is a welcomed surprise; Solid and very usable. No wobble! The arm rests are ok; 5 positions... the lowest setting could be lower for my tastes. It would also be nice if you could fold them completely out of the way... but I'm being overly picky. This is a great chair for the price.Materials 5 stars - Purchasing a decent drafting chair at this price point was not easy. I read close to 100 reviews. I even purchased another chair, but returned it the same day. It arrived in damaged packaging, without instructions...and the parts seemed chintzy.This chair is about 40 lbs assembled, constructed mostly of heavy plastic with some metal and leather. Looks nice. Feels solid.
