Only if you're short.

I am six foot one and I hate this chair. The head support fits me right between the shoulder blades. I can't lean back. Reviews that say it's a great chair were either written by children short people or are outright lies.
This chair is very comfortable - good lumbar support and adjustability. I am 5’4 and my husband is 6’0 and we both found the chair to be comfortable. Like how it can be locked in a slightly reclined position. Love the airflow from the mesh. Took one star off because while the headrest does rotate up and down it extends out slightly too far when I am sitting in a fully upright position. Bought the chair on sale and like everything else about it so may just remove the headrest if it continues to bother me.
The chair was very easy to put together and it is light compared to my old office chair. The chair is comfortable easy to adjust and sets taller when all the way up. Overall I love this chair.
Although this chair has some nice features such as the lumbar support we had two issues with it. The head rest is positioned too low on the chair. Even though it's adjustable at its highest setting it still lands right at our shoulders rather than behind our neck or head. The mesh seat is comfortable at first but sinks lower than the front edge and causes the front edge cut of circulation to legs. It would probably work for a person about 5 foot tall and not more than 130 lbs.
Instuctions were clear and all of the screws clearly labeled. Fully adjustable and looks good. I got it for me to be sit in a cooler chair that allows for air pass through.
