Poor Build Quality Left Me Disappointed

Honestly, I had high hopes for this chair, but almost everything I feared about it came true. Here is a list of things I was disappointed about the chair. First of all, the build quality. The arm rests are held together by two screws, one at the top and one at the bottom. Not a very good design. I always feel like I'm going to break the arm rests whenever I put my arms on them. It's very wobbly no matter how hard I tighten the screws. What's worse is, if you break the threading in one of the screw holes, it's over, the arm rest won't stay. The back is held to the seat by a thin metal plate with 3 screws. Also not a very good design. I want to lean back and the only thing preventing me from falling is 3 screws and a thin metal piece. I added a picture of the three screws connecting the small tab of metal to the seat. The foot rest also looks like it's going to break by the way it bends when I put my feet on it. The chair is slightly tilted to one side. It's too noticeable to let it pass. The handle for letting me recline is way to far for me to reach. I have to get out of my chair to pull the handle. The arm rests are way too wide and too tall for me to comfortably place my arms. Also, it smelled of oil, but it went away. Leaning back wasn't as comfortable as I thought. I always feel like I'm sliding out of the chair. But that's without the footrest. With it it's fine. I would have let this chair slide for its price had it not been for it's build quality. Had it been made a lot better, I would have said it was worth your money. Unfortunately, it could have been a lot better. I gave it 2 stars because it wasn't a completely awful chair. The main reason I bought it was because it had a headrest. Aside from the arm rests and the slight tilting, the feeling of sitting in it wasn't too bad. If you know you're not going to break this chair and don't care too much about where you place your arms, you may find it comfortable. But in the end, I would recommend something else.
