I have had this exact chair in my office at work for three years and love it. I finally got to the point where I needed one for the home office and bought this one again. I weigh just north of 250lbs. and its held up just fine. The paint on the roller arms will wear off over time but bang for the buck it's probably the best chair out there.
Overall this is a great chair and a decent value version of the herman miller aeron chairs I used to use. The install was fairly simple. I love the feeling of the mesh. No more getting hot after long periods of sitting. If you are tall like me (6' 2") I would suggest looking elsewhere though or don't plan on using the headrest. Even in its most extended position the headrest doesn't go up high enough and hits me in the back of my shoulders. I might just take it off completely as it can be quite annoying at times. Also I ordered inline wheels to replace the stock ones which are junk just like every other chair. The inline wheels are much nicer and glide over my laminate and rug perfectly.
I love this chair. When I sat in it at the store I knew right away that I wanted it. It may not be good for a larger person. I am 5 ft 5 in and weigh 120 lbs so for me it is perfect. Good lumbar support.
This chair is great if you have back pain or sciatica. I purchased this chair for several employees with these issues. They love how the mesh base does not have pressure points when sitting for long periods of time. One negative is that the chair tends to lower during the course of the day and they have to adjust but they say that is a small agravation considering the comfort.
