Good for an inexpensive chair

It's not a Herman Miller Aeron but it's quite comfortable and like most mesh chairs doesn't get hot or sweaty. Only downside is that the seat is on the small side and not that deep front-to-back. Back support is good. You'd have to spend twice as much to get a significantly better chair.
Really liked the chair overall. Main dislike was the mesh seating. It just was too hard and my thigh/bum felt sore after sitting. I thought maybe my body wasn't accustomed to the seating and or it needed to break it a bit but after aprox 2hrs sitting on it. I no longer could take it even my lower back started to feel discomfort. I don't think this chair works well as a task chair. Sitting typing/working at computer i felt as if i had to lean forward vs sitting the natural position of the chair which tended to lean you back slightly. Which then made the neck rest useless. Tried sitting in that position leaning back so head can rest on the neck rest but the position felt to forced and not comfy. When reclining back or leaning back the chair was rather comfy with the neck rest but no way could use computer like that.
This chair is sturdy yet comfortable. It was easy to assemble and I was able to do that in less than an hour. They even shipped the hex wrench needed to assemble the chair so I did not need any of my own tools. The headrest is a bit odd. When the chair is locked upright the headrest touches the top of my shoulders and does not provide any support to my head at all. That is OK since in that position I do not need support for my head but it's a bit annoying to have the headrest tap the top of my shoulder. When I unlock the back of the chair so I can lean back the headrest falls into a perfect location to support my head.
