This was one of the best chairs in this price range with a high enough headrest (I'm 5'9") and fold-up arms. It's very firm and seems to give good support although I'm struggling to get comfortable in it my first couple days as I'm not used to such a firm chair. The thinking is that it will take longer to 'sag' and give out and maybe soften & hit the sweetspot in the longhaul. My issue is the quality control on these they all come from China and as with most furniture these days the bolt holes are often off a bit making for a sometimes trick assembly but more importantly something not looking right when completed as was with mine. The black chrome finish is also a little uneven in parts but it's minor and only on the armrest hardware lower down where no one is looking. I'm very experienced at assembling furniture and the bolt holes are off on one side of the backrest compared to the other. The result is the arm hardware sits slightly different on the right vs the left side as it bolts to the back. I can't feel it at all but I can see it from the back. Not great but probably not enough for me to return it. I did put a carpenter's level on the seat from a few different angles and it seems pretty level. I did this because I don't want back problems. It's firm but seemed to pass this test. I got this chair compared to other options because I figured Staples would have better quality control and stand behind it. So far not really cosmetically A+ but I hope in the longrun it's comfy and lasts. Nothing is perfect right?

Good chair with decent back support but would be 5 stars if the arms were adjustable!

It’s not a $400 chair so don’t expect to get that kind of quality here. It’s comfy and can be used all day (just take breaks to stretch). If you want a really nice gaming chair buy one for $400/500. If you don’t want to spend half a grand on a chair like me - this is a great option.
