Bone"We were a family of three girls. By Chinese standards, that wasn't lucky. In Chinatown, everyone knew our story. Outsiders jerked their chins, looked at us, shook their heads. We heard things." In this profoundly moving novel, Fae Myenne Ng takes readers into the hidden heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, to the world of one family's honor, their secrets, and the lost bones of a "paper father."

"We were a family of three girls. By Chinese standards, that wasn't lucky. In Chinatown, everyone knew our story. Outsiders jerked their chins, looked at us, shook their heads. We heard things." In this profoundly moving novel, Fae Myenne Ng takes readers into the hidden heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, to the world of one family's honor, their secrets, and the lost bones of a "paper father." Two generations of the Leong family live in an uneasy tension as they try to fathom the source of a brave young girl's sorrow. Oldest daughter Leila tells the story: of her sister Ona, who has ended her young, conflicted life by jumping from the roof of a Chinatown housing project; of her mother Mah, a seamstress in a garment shop run by a "Chinese Elvis"; of Leon, her father, a merchant seaman who ships out frequently; and the family's youngest, Nina, who has escaped to New York by working as a flight attendant. With Ona and Nina gone, it is up to Leila to lay the bones of the family's collective guilt to rest, and find some way to hope again. Fae Myenne Ng's luminous debut explores what it means to be a stranger in one's own family, a foreigner in one's own neighborhood--and whether it's possible to love a place that may never feel quite like home.Binding Type: Paperback

A great choice at affordable price
Color: White, Number of Items: 1, Color: White, Number of Items: 1
The design of the chair is sleek and nice looking at a very affordable price and a decent quality. It is the cheaper version of a more expensive one. The wheels move easily; the back of the chair tilts just enough; it is a deep chair to support my back (only 5"3), so I added a back pillow making perfectly comfortable to provide support needed for long period of times. If I have a negative comment, it is about the back of the chair being black so purely matter of esthetic.: and armrests narrower than I'd like and wrapped with 2 pieces of leather connected with a piece of fabric a bit loose with a zipper which will allow overtime to be completely removed and left with chrome completely if wearing out or simply if you prefer that look so options. A great purchase

Great looking chair, a bit hard, fantastic value!
Color: White, Number of Items: 1, Color: White, Number of Items: 1
3 for comfort, 5+ for looks and 5 for ease of putting together so I landed on a 4+. I absolutely love the way this chair looks and it accents my other darker office items well. I'm 5'4" and can sit in the chair, all the way back without a pillow so the size works well for me. The back support is fine and you can adjust it if you want it straighter or rock back & forth. I changed out the casters for a more rollerblade type wheel when so I can't speak to the rollability of the included casters, but works well with the wheels I installed. Fantastic value and I'm soo glad I purchased it!

Beautiful and easy to assemble. Very sturdy and great support for your back. Well worth the price and fits nicely with the computer desk. Very sleek and expensive looking. Pleased with my purchase.

Unbelievable!!!
Color: White, Number of Items: 1, Color: White, Number of Items: 1
First off, let me say wow! When I received this, I didn’t expect much because of the price, but I am blown away with the care that was given in the packaging alone, the simplicity of putting it together with the detailed yet brief instruction page, and the ability to put this together with one person. Took me less than 40mins. Highly recommend!!! And in fact, I’m purchasing another one right now as I’m sitting here rocking in my new beautiful chair.
UPDATE: a lot of negative reviews are basically user error. To attach the wheels, to snap on, I used a rubber (not metal) mallet to tap them in. To the leveling review, you have one arm on backwards. To the screw passing through, you may be correct but double check you didn’t use the required screws elsewhere. And the person saying it doesn’t recline, you have to release the lock - pull the up and down lever out and away from the seat. Good luck all!
Bought a second one - same thoughts as above. Pretty awesome chair.

Great aesthetic and easy assembly, but lacking in all-day comfort
Color: Orange, Number of Items: 1
Pros:
Simple Assembly: It took less than 45 minutes to build. The instructions are straightforward, and all necessary tools are included. Getting the armrests aligned takes a bit of finagling, but it's manageable.
Appearance & Shipping: It arrived well-packaged with no damage. It has a sleek, modern look that adds a great aesthetic to an office space, and the height adjustment works perfectly.
Cons:
Lack of Support: The comfort level falls short. At 5'11", I found the back offers no lumbar support, and the backrest isn't tall enough to serve as a headrest.
Disappointing Armrests: The armrests are mostly metal with a thin, flimsy layer of faux leather. If you live in a colder climate or a poorly insulated home, the metal frames get quite cold to the touch.
Limited Padding: The seat cushion is minimal. After about 3 hours of sitting, it starts to feel very firm and uncomfortable.
Verdict:
You ultimately get what you pay for. I would not recommend this as a primary desk chair for an 8-hour workday. However, it is an affordable, sharp-looking option if you just need a decorative accent piece, a guest chair, or budget-friendly seating for a conference room.
