3This chair makes work look more like relaxing. Supportive scrolled back and comfortably padded seat are covered in supple leather with nail head trim. Crafted of solid hardwood with swan-neck arms, swiveling seat, and routered details.
Kingston Desk Chair features:
Five-point, carved wood base with casters
Seat height adjusts on a responsive gas lift
Seat back rocks, locks into position, and swivels
Simple assembly
I've re-checked so many times that this was installed properly but the movement is clunky when one tips forward or back. Side to side however is the worst.
My husband rebuilt our last house from the studs and says there's nothing to be done about this chair. We had a cheapo ugly chair before, and I wouldn't have bought this if I'd tried it in a store first.

Overall, I'm pleased with the chair and decided to keep it. It is a beautiful chair and nice quality. I've looked for a long time to find a desk chair that was a little different.
Here are the reasons I give it 4 instead of 5 stars:
I ordered the white-wash with camel leather, and the camel leather color is much darker than the photo, more brown than creamy tan.
The chair is bigger than I expected and doesn't fit completely under the desk. The seat is so deep I put a pillow behind my back...my husband needs this, too, so it is really deep and doesn't offer the back support of a typical task chair.

I love the Kingston Desk Chair. I spend a lot of time at my computer and finally have a chair that is comfortable. I am not mechanical at all but found the chair easy to assemble. The white-washed finish with the camel leather is so easy to clean and looks beautiful at my kitchen desk.
