Granted I don't sit while teaching but before after and during my planning period I do - and I wanted something comfortable. Having seen my son's gaming chair I wanted one like it. It is comfy - and supportive in all the right places. Bonus: a couple of my students saw it and complimented my 'cool chair'. The only addition I would make is a retractable leg support for after school.
It looks good but looks aren't everything! The chair began to tilt within days and the arm rests look forever indented once you use them. It's not sturdy enough for an office and I wouldn't buy it for a youngster (gamer) either.
Purchased this chair from a local staples 2.5 months ago. The arm rest padding is pretty much flat already and when I leave the seat and come back its lower then when I left. Sometimes the seat will just drop an inch or so as I sit down annoying to say the least. If your a gamer this is not the seat for you it's not even comfortable especially after a few hours of sitting in it.
After a month of use I can confidently tell you that this chair is comfortable durable and looks amazing. But then you may ask why gave it a 4 instead of a 5. Well while the build quality is great it still squeaks while rocking so I took points away for that. Also the cushion is going a little flat after an hr or more of sitting on it . I'm only a 150lb guy and I think if you're above 200 it'll easily hurt your behind after using it for more than a couple of hours. Overall the Chair is great for the money you're spending. Staples has done a great job here!
