I know the general rule is to stay away from bonded leather, but with a 7 year warranty they might just replace it if the leather has issues. I had an issue with a chair I got from Staples and they sent me a gift card for the amount I paid. The process was completely hassle free. I had paid for the extra warranty so their built in warranty may be different, but my only experience has been a good one. My only concern is how comfortable a chair this cheap can actually be.
are these realistically any good or trash?...been needing a new chair. reading the old thread on this sure seems like they are kind of garbage and bonded leather is a huge no no.

They are...fine, but not a realistic long-term daily chair. I tried this out at Staples when looking for a new chair.
You can tell it's the type of material that would start wearing down after a year. The seat is OK, for now. The arms move and the seat reclines, so you have options for movement.

But they had one of the fancy Razer gaming chairs available to try (yes, for considerably more money) and you can immediately tell the difference. I would get this for a kid/teen or for a casual gaming area, but not for long-term work or long hours in front of a PC.

trash, staples always has them on display for you to sit on. these "gaming" chair are almost always flat on the back and butt cushions, very uncomfortable. If your in a warm/hot state especially summertime, try mesh chairs. You skin wont melt and stick into it. lol

Found this to be the case with all the faux-leather desk chairs that have lumbar support, but since mine continue to operate well mechanically long after the finish has started "shedding", I buy one of those stretch one-size-fits-all auto seat covers to extend its lifespan.

If it was 40-50 bucks cheaper, I could use it for a racing wheel rig setup

Bought and returned.

The back doesn't recline at all on it's own, only full chair tilt. Also the back felt very forward.

I opted to sit on a folding chair as opposed to that chair for the week I had it.

Never again with the bonded leather. I still have nightmares of finding black leather flakes over my carpet when my last chair was close to end of life. Took a while to vacuum up everything

Can you share an example of auto seat cover? Thanks!
