After trying and returning several desk chairs this one really surprised me as to how comfortable it is! I had the headrest removed (which was really awkward and uncomfortable in a typical sitting position) and that made it perfect! My back has definitely noticed the improvement after a day's work. (And an extra bonus was the special discount!)
Good value good look a couple of things to know...

Since we purchased this chair on sale at a substantial savings it could be considered a very good value. Two things to note: First this is a narrow chair with the included armrests. Of course these can be removed easily but if you have a tendency to "fill out" an office chair this chair may not be for you. It is not a problem in our office but a larger person could feel too snug during a long work day. The second thing is specific to the overall finish quality. Though for he most part the fit and finish of the chair is good the underside of the armrests are strangely unfinished to the touch. This is not to say it was forgotten but rather not attended to. It is more a tactile issue that is created by this lack of detail. As such each time you wrap your fingers around the bottom of the armrests there is an odd rough transition between the sides and bottom that feels as if someone forgot to trim off the excess material.
A quick sit in the showroom made me think this chair would be comfortable but not so. Assembly was pretty simple no issues there. Big issue with the Do Not Remove labels plastered all under the bottom and around to the sides of the frame. Not to be removed until sold...OK but when I buy it and remove them they leave their entire white adhesive backing on the black chair frame in plain view. If I was keeping the chair I would have to get a solvent out to remove the residue. The chair is well constructed but for someone my size (5'6") the front edge of the chair cuts into my thighs and very quickly gave me pain down both legs. I spent a few hours on it just to be certain but it is going back to the store.
Assembly was less than simple but got it done. If you're tall this may not be the chair for you - I'm 5' 10" and it barely goes high enough for me - I would actually prefer it to be 2-3 inches higher. It's comfortable though and looks sharp. 4 stars - not 5 - if it were higher I would probably give it 5 stars.
I love the mesh seat and I really like the built in head rest. This was the only chair in the store with this type of head rest and it has made a difference in the way I sit and my comfort level.

The staff at the store inMcMinnville OR were good to deal with and very helpful. They loaded the chair into the truck which I could not have done myself. The chair was the most comfortable I have ever sat in with very good back support and a head rest. I will not be able to let you know about how easy or difficult it is to assemble until I have the opportunity to assemble it.
