I picked this chair in the store because at its highest setting the seat stands taller than most other chairs. I also wanted that style of arm rest so they wouldn't bang into my desk as I moved closer or turned around. I find the chair quite comfortable and like the lumbar support. The mesh also makes it less bulky in my slightly cramped space. It was also easy to put together even someone not used to that kind of stuff should be easily able to follow the instructions. However build quality doesn't seem too high. I realized right away that the adjustable lumbar support will slide down to its lowest position by itself as I lean on it. The only way to prevent that from happening would be to stick something under it that will block its descent. A few days after setting up the chair I found a small screw on the floor. Turns out it came from one of the arm rests which was missing 2 of the 6 screws that holds the padding together. So I'm still missing one screw and I don't know when it came off I might have vacuumed it without noticing or maybe it was never on. So I like the chair it does what I need it to do but quality is disappointing.

Staples Kroy Mesh Task Chair

I'm not handy at all and easily put together the chair myself. It gets the job done if you need to sit for a couple hours at a time and is reasonably comfortable. If you need it for 8 hour use it might not be the best fit though.
I got it for only 100 USD and its a great chair. Thanks to the mesh the seat is more flexible than other chairs and its actually very comfy and yet provides good/firm support. Lumbar support is a bit flimsy but does the trick. Also the arm rests are flimsy plastic but in the lowest setting they are sturdy and provide sufficient support. Mesh also keeps the chair cool and ventilated - overall great chair for the price. I bought another one for home use.
Only had the chair for about a week. The first time I sat in it I knew it was "the chair" for comfort. Can not answer on durability because I have not had it long enough. Comfort is great.
