Too Short and Painful

As I have had it for a little over a week I can say it is not made for a person who is 6'2" tall. The headrest tilts but can not be raised of lowered. It hits my shoulder blades unless I slouch. The front of the seat presses the back of your legs (because the seat locked fully forward still slants to the back) and anyone who works at a desk will tell you it is the worst thing you can do. The adjustable arms work well and the seat itself seems to be almost as advertised. It is more of a managers chair than task chair. If I has sat in a display chair at the store I would not have made the purchase. With the current situation I will keep the chair and complain about it to every person I know.
I'm 5'10" and the headrest squeezes into my shoulders. It seems like this a design oversight. Otherwise the chair is relatively comfortable. The arm rests are not plastic however they're not very soft.
Moderately comfortable but not ideal. Better than the other chairs I used before but far from the comfort of an auto seat for example. Mesh bottom sometimes causes discomfort. Other than that the chair is ok and well made.
The chair was delivered quickly and all the pieces were intact. The instructions were very easy to follow and it was great they had each screw in a package indicating the step when I need to use them. The chair has been my lifesaver since I work from home now. The support is great and it is very comfortable. I was very happy to have found this chair.
The only reason I did not rate this chair as five stars is because I would reserve that for a perfect product. For any person in an office setting or who sits down quite frequently and would like to move around I would highly recommend this chair. I have lower back issues and this even has a slight lumbar support. By no mean's is it cushy so if you want more of that type of feel look for something else. This is certainly a chair to encourage you to keep your posture in the proper position. Worth trying to sit in it in the Staples store if you need to experience it before you believe it.
Love this chair. It has great lumbar support and the headrest is at the perfect height for me. It was really easy to put together. Working from home I am at my computer for 8+ hours a day having a comfortable chair is very important. This chair fits that bill.
