Great sturdy chair with good back support
on August 13, 2020

The chair was easy to assemble. It is a solidly built with sturdy parts. The back support is solid and the lumbar curve is well designed. The adjustment for height and lean work fine. All in all a good solid chair that you can sit in for extended periods as needed. The only flimsy part is the base cover of the stem which is just a little annoying when compared to the other parts of the chair. The head rest did not screw in properly seemed like the threading of one of holes did not align properly didn't need the head rest so not a biggie. Knocked of a star due to these minor drawbacks but all in all a good and sturdy chair.
This chair was mean't for me. I am 6ft and 215 lbs. I ended up giving it to my son because after a week of sitting on it for about 4 hours the mesh started to loosen. My son is only 9 and is 110lbs and I think the chair is perfect for anyone who is under 180 lbs.
Like most I was not properly set up to work all day from home during COVID. I started with my big desk chair and started suffering back pain. I switched to my dining room chair that helped my posture and back but was not comfortable enough for the two hour phone conferences. Finally walked into Staples and sat in EVERY chair in the store. There were other chairs that looked like this but were not as comfortable. I am 6'4" and 250 lbs. The lumbar support moves up and down about 1" and the highest position works well for me. I did not install the headrest as it landed in my shoulder blades.(reason for 4 stars) Simple to put together good instructions. I am finding it worth the money.
Truly satisfied with this chair. It keeps your body at perfect sitting posture for long periods of time and with the head rest it's another bonus. The sitting cushion is nice. It may feel little stiff at first but give it time to break it in. Also being that it's mesh chair it provides great air flow as well. Overall If you're looking for a great quality chair this is one! Highly recommend it.
Better than the Serta smart layers chair I tried first but not great. Feels a bit cheap for the price but not bad. An okay office chair. Returned because the description made it sound like it had way more adjustability than it does. You can lock the back tilt move the seat up and down or move the lumbar support up and down. The head rest just pivots up or down. The lumbar support is too hard for me very little adjustment and the design leaves you sitting up without use of the back rest or headrest so whats even the point of the head rest!? If you like leaning or tilting back into the chair I guess you may like it. Poor ergo design though. Spine head and neck should be aligned. As a nurse I would say keep looking. Also no tilt or slide to seat. Mesh seat is comfy. The Serta I tried was painful! Ordered the autonomous ergo 2 chair instead through Autonomous company directly. Staples customer service was nice with returns and no hassles so 5 stars there. They just do not have a chair in stock at this point that will work for me.
