I bought this chair 3-4 years ago and it was great. The seat is still taught but this new one is sagging already. Very disappointed. I haven't had it a month.
TL;DR: Chair is good price is good needs taller back for people over 6' the headrest digs into my shoulders mine came with a torn mesh seat. The Good: I was hunting for an ergonomic chair but I didn't want to shell out for an Aeron. I did a lot of research and landed on this on sale for $160 shipped with free returns if it wasn't the right fit. It's comfortable gives me support makes my back straight and offers lumbar + headrest. I really think it's a bargain. Build quality is about what you'd expect for something in this price range but I was pleasantly surprised all around. The Bad: I'm 6'2"- this chair sucks for me. My wife likes it but the headrest even at the maximum setting is MUCH too low. It needs to be another 3+ inches. The headrest has a plastic edge and it digs into my shoulder/trap muscles. It's pretty uncomfortable. I don't hate it but it's definitely not going to be a long-term solution for me and probably won't for you if you're 6-feet or more. Mine came with a giant rip on the side of the mesh so beware quality control may correlate to the budget price. Sadly I returned mine but I honestly think it would have been a good choice if I was shorter.
I've only had the chair for a week but it exceeds my expectations in terms of quality and comfort. The chair is not cheap but it is significantly cheaper than proper office chairs that offer similar levels of confort. Now only time can tell if durability is as good as chairs that cost 4-10 times more.
As a short person the headrest seems to push my head forward instead of letting me rest my head. Removing it is much better for me haha otherwise a great chair. Easy to assemble and very comfortable. I love being able to lean back on it.
Basic chair seems well constructed and comfortable

I like the mesh seat and back. The chair is comfortable. It was easy to assemble (77 year old female) although it required some time. Before you begin to assemble decide if you want the arm rests. The arm rests interfered with my ability to access my desk so I did not use them. The screws are divided into color coded packets and the directions are in English and are specific. The included Allen Wrench is the only tool required. I put the head rest on the chair but it wasn't right for my height. Plus with the head rest on the chair appeared massive. The chair fits me much better (5'4") without the headrest. The seat and the back are comfortable and seem sturdy. I would have given 5 stars however part of the directions give me concern. The directions say to check the screws monthly to make sure they remain tight. It's difficult to determine the material in the screws but it causes me concern if the manufacturer suggests the screws be checked monthly.
