Probably a good value for the price but . . .

This chair looks fancy and high tech but I really don't find it comfortable and I'm now understanding the "why" of padded seats arms etc. I have put a regular chair cushion on the seat which helps some but have been getting incredibly severe pains in my left arm and wrist just realized today it's from the pressure of resting that arm on the hard surface. You don't realize it much when you're just sitting there (and I sit for my work at home telephone job about 6 hours a day) but then when I get up I can barely move my left hand and wrist without severe pain. I wouldn't purchase this again. Instead I would opt for spending more money for padding or I would look at a used place for something similar at a cheaper price.
I love this chair. It can be lowered enough for me. I am only 5 feet tall and I have short legs. This is the only chair that lowers enough. The desk I chose has a computer shelf that is low enough too. I love the mesh seat and back. It keeps air flow consistent. The head rest is flexible and gives me just the right support when I need it. I love this chair.
Had to have my husband's help to put this together but it was as easy as the directions claimed to be. I like the mess seat back and headrest. I can lean back without feeling like I'm going to go over backwards. The lumbar support is perfect!
This chair is excellent in every way. My husband assembled it in about an hour. The full mesh seat and back are great as they are supportive and help your body stay cool for long periods of time. I have lower back problems and see a chiropractor every few weeks. My back does not get sore in this chair even after sitting for hours. This is the first chair I can say that about whether at home or in any office I have worked out of. The tilting capability is great and so is the head rest. I'm 5 6 160 pounds and the head rest sits in a good position. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone. We will probably get a second one for my husband's music studio. He also loves it and has back issues which he says don't bother him when he sits in this chair.
