Great ergonomic chair. Just avoid a repackaged one.

Th chair is easy to assemble has multiple adjustments and the mesh makes it breathable and supportive for all pressure points. I am 6'1 and the maximum height is just about right for me. I could have probably used another inch. The headrest is not very useful for me either. So if you are above 6' I would recommend trying the chair before buying. I am not sure if there are taller options available. The first box I got looked like it was repackaged. The seat and back were still in original cover so I did not give it much though. It was after I bolted together all the parts and try to attach the base to the seat that I found out that the main pillar that support the seat and adjusts height was broken and had metal piece sticking out from the bottom that should not have bene visible. Had to haul it back to Staples and get another one. The associate saw the issue right away and exchanged it. It was probably returned earlier due to the same issue and whoever repackaged it did no notice the damage. So frustrated by the extra trip and having to assemble the chair twice.
My back ached every day. It got bad enough that pandemic or not I finally went to Staples to try out new chairs. This one felt right and supported my lower bask at the same time. The chair cost more than most but is definitely worth it.
This chair is so comfortable. I would buy it again. So glad I made this choice. Appreciated the salesman who was very patient and answered all my questions.
The chair is comfortable at first and let's air pass through it well but for me being in the lower end of 6' this chair got really uncomfortable really fast with the lumbar being too low and the headrest just barely reaching my shoulder blades.
Plus. Had high back and head rest. Mesh seat stops overheating. Easy to adjust controls are good. Cons: Head rest hight not adjustable. If you are over 6ft its not going to be on your neck unless you slump in the chair. This could easily have been made adjustable. I intend to make a fixed plate so that I can increase the height. Additionally seat is not too comfortable in shorts the front edge of the seat tends to roll up under the thighs causing discomfort. Its rubber type mesh that crumples up and tugs at your skin. As with any chair with arms on they don't go low enough to get under the desk if you have a sliding drawer under it - not unique to this chair I think. You better remove the drawer or don't install the arms.
