Caster Wheels Bearings Fall Out and Ruining Carpet
March 23, 2013
Beautiful chair. However, in less than 1 year, the many, small, bearings are falling out of the caster wheels, leaving black markings all over carpet. It's a mess! I am in process of trying to get new wheels from Pottery Barn for this defect.

Not very comfortable and wobbles
March 19, 2013
Looks good, but wobbles around too much and leans too far forward. Just not that comfortable. Would not buy again. Very expensive too.

Arms loose after 11 mo. of home use
March 14, 2013
1. The wood arms have come loose on our chair after 11 months of home office use, 5-10 hours a week. They move about an inch left to right now. I am expecting one to fall off. There's no way to tighten them unless you remove part of the upholstery.
2. The seat is not padded enough and it bites into the back of our thighs making it very uncomfortable.
Its unfortunate - we really like the look of the chair but I would not purchase it again.

Looks good, but not comfortable
January 14, 2013
I am really disappointed - this chair looks great and is fabulous quality. The issue is comfort - there simply is not enough padding on the seat and the hard wood cuts into you thigh after sitting for a long period of time. It just a perfect style and great quality, but lacks in overall comfort.

Nice

The chair looks very nice with the desk. The best part was it didn't have to be put together.

Desk Chair
May 31, 2012
The Chair is slightly smaller than I expected, although it seems to do the job just fine. I really like the fabric and studs - very pretty! Buyer beware though if you order this online and have it shipped -- the box is HUGE (barely fitting in our SUV, difficult to get through the stairwell, etc.) Overall, at the sale price, I'm happy with my purchase.

I ordered this desk chair to go with my PB printer's desk. It is well made, looks good and very comfortable. I've received many compliments on it.

Beautiful Design, Very Flawed Construction
January 18, 2012
First, let me say that I love the *idea* of this chair, which makes it painful that it is such a flawed design. It looks incredible. As a guy, it's the perfect looking chair for a masculine library or man cave.
BUT, the middle post that holds the chair is at a slight angle, which means that when the chair rotates it wobbles. When sitting in the chair, you'll feel yourself leaning to one side or the other. It's slight, so I didn't notice it in the store at first, but it's there. I had Pottery Barn send me a new base, which they did quickly, but the replacement had the same problem. I went into the store, and all the display chairs had the same fault (now that I know to look for it). It's inconceivable that this could have been on purpose. The chair is uneven, and no amount of tinkering will help.
I really hope Pottery Barn fixes this design flaw. If so, it would be a 5 star chair.

Warning: Problems with the casters
December 16, 2011
Lovely chair, however, the ball bearings are falling out of the casters. Over time, this will make the chair very difficult to roll. Our local store was very agreeable to a return or exchange, but we noticed the same thing was happening with the floor model in the store, so a replacement chair would not solve the problem. Because the casters have a metric stem, we could not find a match to replace just them separately. After hours of internet research we finally found a similar caster with a plate top and installed them last night. So all is well, but for a $700 chair we should not have had this problem. If you purchase, plan in advance on having to replace the casters.
