Great Chair

Chair is awesome. Assembly was good a little time consuming - had small issue with allan wrench. But the Chair is perfect. Firm steady strong comfortable. Love the recline feature. Recommend highly
I am 6ft 190lbs and I find it a bit small. Chair itself only covers half of my upper legs and arm support is too close to my body for my arms. Material is mostly plastic
I put this chair together and the build quality seemed good until I sat down and drifted backwards without exerting any pressure to lean back. After cranking down on the adjustment knob as far as it would go it still leans back far to easily. When fully reclined it requires strain to sit back up. I'm 5'10 and 200 pounds this should not tax a chair like this. Doesn't come close to the support level in my previous chair.
Assembly was straight forward and only one tool was required and provided. Total time @ 60 minutes. It's very light so it moves easily and is very comfortable to sit in partially due to the give in the mesh and also due to the multiple adjustment points available. I highly recomment this chair.
As other reviewers have stated this chair is poorly designed with insufficient adjustability for 6' or taller people as the headrest even at maximum height digs into your shoulder blades. Additionally I've found that the tilt adjustability cannot be fine-tuned enough. The most upright and forward position I find leans too far forward and brings the back and head rest too close to the body. But the next available locked position tilts it too far back.
I've had this chair for over a year and tend to work very long hours at my desk. This chair is amazingly comfortable. I especially like the lumber and neck support - it feels like an expensive back/neck massage every day!
Very comfortable and sturdy especially considering the price. It was also relatively easy to assemble. The only small criticism o have is that I wish the arm rests could be rotated inward/outward.
