I haven't owned this chair very long but for the short time that I have I feel it was a very good investment. The mesh is very tight and the chair itself is very sturdy and heavy. I would recommend those clear plastic floor covers as the chair does not move on carpet as easily as it was listed as doing so. I also wish I had chosen a chair that had arm rests that moved in all angles to properly have my wrists close to my body while typing since I have carpal tunnel. This chair has worked so far - the back support is nice. I like that it moves up and down. I am 5'8" and the chair is suitable for my height. I chose this chair based on the many positive reviews it had and felt the price was right. There is a lot of support for those of us who are working from home. I had to have the maintenance man assist with putting the coasters on the wheel base as I had no strength in my hands to do so and I'm glad he stayed to assist with the rest of the chair that is how I realized the chair was very heavy. So if you would be putting together have someone close by that is able to assist.
