I love this chair but it didn't last,
January 31, 2011 Richard (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zuo Modern Lider Office Chair, Black (Kitchen)
I too love the chair and bought it because of its sharp design and attractive price. I've owned it one year, and the leatherette (or whatever it's made of) disconnected from the chrome frame. I use it daily of course, and I'm 175 pounds. So I'm not light but not obese either and a chair should last for years.
I called some repair people to fix it but all declined because it ripped when it disconnected and it's not repairable. So I had to throw it out.
I suppose you get what you pay for ... I just ordered the Herman Miller chair which is $1200 ... that was painful, but it comes with 20 year warranty.
I'm not sure if other chairs will have this issue after 12 months, could just have been mine or maybe they are designed for casual, not full time use. If you plan to use this as your full time desk chair for 40 plus hours per week ... which I did ... be warned that it may have quality issues.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zuo Lider Office Chair (Kitchen)
I've sat in them all, the discount bargain brand, the Aeron, the padded high back executive desk chair. This chair is my favorite. It's got something that I was desperately seeking: support! The fact that its fabulous looking and fits in a smaller space than most chair is just so icing on the cake. It was easy to put together and the leather is soft and confortable. I did all my homework, and am so pleased with my choice.

Zuo Disaster,

Lider Chairs from Zuo Modern or rather Zuo Disaster !
I got 2 of this chair that I purchased from July of Last year (2007), one of the chair broke last September (2007) and the other one got the same problem, broken Piston last January (2008)......the company send me 2 new pistons and an instruction how to replace them.... after hours of hitting the broken piston out of the chair base, it ruined my chairmat and my carpet as well, so I called them again for assistance, their customer support told me that these chairs were designed in such a way that you can't really take them apart for safety reason. So at this point I gave up, instruction to replace the piston is a JOKE ! after less than a year, I lost $400 and I got 2 useless chairs.
I did get a free replacement chair from them, but by the rate how these chairs are breaking, I'll need to buy one every 3 months.
The sad part is I got these 2 chairs to replace two temporary chairs that I got from IKEA, thank God! the...Read more
