So far I really like this chair. I like all of the adjustments that can be made to customize this chair to my body. My husband tried the chair and has since ordered himself one as well.
It's a chair - I can sit in it and it holds me up. It is not comfortable at all. The sides of the seat dig into my thighs and I am not a wide person. The seat is not very deep and so only the top half of my thighs are on it even with my lower back pressed all the way against the back although I have longer legs than normal so that's not unusual. The "lumbar support" doesn't stay where you put it so you'd better be okay with it at the lowest setting where gravity wants it. The headrest has the same problem - no way to lock it in place so it falls with gravity. All in all a disappointment.
This chair feels even more comfortable than some $300+ chairs. The head set is very useful. Most importantly it does not contain the irritating flame retardant! This is very important if you want to use at home. It seems that Staples has well followed the new flame retardant regulation and cares about user's health. I ordered another one after testing the first one for only 2 hours.
I thought I would have to wait until Black Friday for a good sale. This chair is sturdy and comfortable. The headrest is awesome. I consider that a bonus. Assembly probably takes 30 minutes and I'm a lady.
A much more comfortable chair than many especially for taller people. The neck rest works well for me at 6' tall. However two issues - the piston failed at about 15 months and the chair is difficult to clean. Mesh allows dust and pet hair to gather in hard to clean places. Get the extended warranty to deal with the piston. Good value when on sale.
