Overall a great chair. It was easy to put together and seems to be well made. The mesh seating and backing keep you nice and cool and the head rest is the most comfortable I have felt on a office chair. The only negative I have is there should be a little padding on the chair where it meets the back of your thighs. After about 20 minutes of sitting you sink into the mesh seat a little and you can feel the plastic that hold the mesh pushing into the back of your thighs which gets a bit uncomfortable.
First let me say I only used the chair for a few hours however these are the first things that come to mind when I sat in it. Pros: Mesh- Love the material I had a leather chair before this and it always got so hot when it was summer Size- Smaller chair size takes up less space in my room Mobility- Rolls very nice even on the carpet that I have Cons: Not as tall- I am a 6' 1" male and when sitting in the chair my shoulders hit the headrest unless I tip it all the way back it works fine when im leaning back in the chair however when typing at a computer I sit up straight and this is an annoyance.
I have a herniated disc in my back and this chair is amazing! I've always liked to set toward the edge of my chair and this allows the feel of that but you can set all the way back in the chair and you get the same affect. The high back and headrest are also a great feature. I'm very thankful I found this chair!
This chair is basically comfortable but I wish it was a little bigger. It is not wide enough or deep enough. While the arms are adjustable they do not go low enough for me. I do like the way it tilts and the mesh is cooler than the leather chair I had before. This chair would probably work best for a tall slim person. I will keep it because it is too much trouble to return and it is not the fault of the chair that it doesn't fit my build.
The chair is very comfortable. Lumbar support is perfect. The head rest is a little high for me as I'm just 5'3" but I usually don't lean my head back when I work anyway. I may take the arms off or extend them out farther as they get in the way when I'm working. The mesh is nice and cool vs. a fabric chair especially when my office heats up in the afternoon.
