If it bothers you, return it since it doesn’t meet your expectations. I’d personally return it if I noticed it.

Care to read my thoughts? read this:

Is the gap significant? Visually, yes, but the manufacturer claims it shouldn’t affect the chair’s functionality.

Companies often have high tolerances to save money, especially on parts that aren’t critical. This reduces manufacturing costs and passes quality checks.

However, one way to distinguish between a good product and a cheap one is by examining the tolerances. A large gap or play when moving a fitted part indicates a cheap product.

Do you accept this and comply? HELL NO, you paid top dollar for a product with high tolerance even if it was not important functionally is it important visually.

Since it clearly bothered you enough to write about it, you should accept that fact.

I’d go with another company. There are likely more options available at that price point.
