I was looking for a new chair after the old pleather one I had was falling apart. I wanted a mesh chair to keep me cool as I tend to sit for long periods of time. I tried this chair in the store and I really liked it. It just felt right. After using it for a few weeks I still like it. However I wish the seat was a little longer. It doesn't cut my circulation off or anything but after a long period of time it starts to get uncomfortable and that's when I hit the recline switch to relieve my legs a bit. The headrest is also a plus. It's one of the things that actually sold me on it.
the chair was a little awkward to assemble but the chair is what we expected so far the multiple functions is a real plus and will see how durable the mesh backing holds up.
I was worried that I would have an issue with the headrest after reading some negative online reviews that the headrest hit some taller users in the shoulders. This was not a problem for me at all: I'm 5'10" and 165 lbs. In fact it was quite comfortable to use when reclining and didn't interfere when I was sitting upright working on my PC. Casters are basic and work fine on my hard floor. The seat/back is very comfortable. I have a Herman Miller Aeron at the office . . now this isn't quite up to that in terms of comfort adjustments quality etc. But it's almost $1000 cheaper. I was looking for something comfortable at a good price point with good reviews and some key functions (adjustable arm rests a mesh chair good lumbar support and the ability to recline). This fit the bill! I have lower back issues and appreciated the firm and adjustable lumbar support this chair has. So far I'm very happy with my selection. Only time will tell when it comes to durability. I will do another review in 6 months on that and more.
I have this chair at both work computers and bought for home in the ‘current situation.’ It was rather hellish to put together but my husband and I survived.
