Alistair: "So in a Green Utopia we live in the dark and eat raw fish?"

Dear Amazon,


I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this passport wallet has been linked with the wrong Q&A section:

  • Is it hard to assemble?
  • Is this comfortable for long sitting sessions?
  • What tools are needed for assembly?
  • Does it feel comfortable for the back?
  • What is the height of the highest setting off the floor?
  • Does this chair make noise?
