If you are over 6' tall this is NOT the chair for you. I am 6' 2" so the head rest hits me about 2" below the top of my shoulders. The seat frame is only 17" wide from inside of left frame to the inside of the right frame. So unless you have hips 15" wide or less it's going to feed like you are sitting on the open end of a bucket. The mesh sags when you sit so your hips hit the sides of the frame pushing in on your hips. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. If you are a large frame person I recommend you figure out your dimensions and closely check the chair dimensions of the chair you are intending on purchasing. It seems if it's made in China it most likely won't fit an Anglo body frame.
Assembly instructions could have been better. So far so good comfortable to sit in for 8 hrs a day. Have not tried the back tilt yet. Would recommend this product.
I have purchased 3 total of these chairs. I purchased 1 for myself and my team members like the comfort and head rest so much they asked for their own. Great chair very comfortable and very affordable.
This chair was easy to setup and build as all the required tools and parts are nicely packaged and labeled to avoid confusion. The easy to follow instructions had me setup in under 30 minutes. The overall build quality is nice with solid plastic parts that don't feel flimsy. It's quite comfortable overall and after sitting it in 6+ hours a day you'll feel fine. The headrest on the back can be removed. It's probably not the best option for taller people but being 5'5 I find it about the perfect height for me. It can only be tilted up and down the height placement cannot be adjusted. I haven't had it long enough to comment on overall durability but so far I am quite happy with my purchase and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one for the office.
This chair was on sale at time of purchase so the lower price got my attention but I was worried about whether the chair would really be ergonomic or not. I have back issues at times and luckily this chair is very comfortable!! It was definitely worth the money as compared to other 'home office' type chairs I've seen. Highly recommend... especially if it's on sale!
