back is good but even at it most taut if you want the chair up high to top on a desk so your feet don't touch the ground but rest on the pedestal legs the seat is too soft so that the front edge cuts into your thighs unless you weigh 120 pounds!!
I have a bad back so sitting for long periods is uncomfortable. While this is certainly not an expensive chair it is the best and most comfortable one I have ever owned -- and it has an adjustable lumbar piece. I also like the mesh surfaces they are firm and allow for air circulation that other materials (e.g. leather) do not. The construction appears to be solid as well. Great product thanks!
Probably OK is you weigh less than 150lbs otherwise not recommended.

Have major regrets after purchasing the chair for my office. Chair was delivered the next day free shipping. That's a major plus for Staples. When I tested it in the store it seemed OK and was on big discount. But having used the item in the office I have problems with it. I weigh around 200lbs and the mesh seating just does not have strong enough support. Thus my thighs are pressed in by the plastic border of the seat making me constantly shift my behind to alleviate the pressure. Long story short this chair is not comfortable. Another annoying thing is the metallic sound coming from the casters whenever the chair is moved on the plastic floor mat. Thus having two major peeves with this chair spells - DO NOt Buy.
