Tech support made it possible to fix my own chair. Good thing because I am 2,000 miles from their location😁

Hi. Great service and helpful customer contact person. The cylinder fit perfect and gave the chair a little more height but improved travel for my partner who is a tall lady and she’s thrilled. Thrilled. Thanks so much.

I am still awaiting delivery. Dave promised to check the shipment delay. I sent him an email yesterday asking that he expedite my order. No response. Now you are asking for a review? Up to placing my order, personnel most helpful, but getting it to me is something you fail at accomplishing. When will you correct this situation? I will have no choice but to cancel my order. I need a prompt status update.

Not only did they help me get the right one, but sent me the video link about adjusting the seat when I had a problem with it after! Best customer service!
