It seems PERFECT!
I was a little worried after reading a few things not on this site, but I am thrilled with the result. Chair looks and feels amazing. My wife gave me a hard time since I placed the order now that it arrived she wants another one. Note: I've never seen or sat in the HM version so I can't make an exact comparison, but this thing looks 100% legit. Leather feels high quality, wood was flawless and all parts feel and look 100%. I know there is a leap of faith you take when ordering as returns are costly and NOT easy, but after receiving the box I understand. It still stinks that it is not easier, but I feel like these guys don't keep inventory and more or less serve as a middle man for the Chinese maker. Anyway. I am 6ft 220lbs and I bought the tall version. If I were to do it again I may have went with the standard version.
