For under 150$ its a good desk chair for long hours of sitting. I hope I can buy replacement mesh seats in the future. The mesh on this chair is tougher than other store brands but everything wears eventually.
I opted for this chair over the sub $100 cheaper chairs because i wanted something comfortable and durable that would last. I am very pleased with this chair! Assembly was straightforward. The quality is excellent. Best of all my back feels better after 2 days of using this chair.
I'm reviewing this after using a fairly cheap leather office chair I've had for over 10 years. My back and behind would typically get sore after sitting in it for a few hours. I'd be forced to get up and stretch before I could sit again. I've sat in this chair for around 6-8 hours a day for a couple weeks and not had any pain. The chair is pretty comfortabIe. The adjustable armrests are nice and cushioned (albeit firmly). The headrest is a welcome addition. I think it's a decent ergonomic chair. However I noticed a few things: The chair has already developed a little creak to it when getting in/out of the chair. I don't like this as it's only going to get worse and worse. I'm also concerned about the mesh sagging over time. The armrests did not install symmetrically. The right armrest is a 1/2 inch forward more than the left armrest. At first I thought I screwed the armrest in the wrong holes or maybe I could have moved it back a little before screwing but they only install one way. A 1/2 inch is not a dealbreaker but I do consider it incorrect manufacturing. The lever to lock/unlock the chair recline does not slide in/out smoothly. It's finicky and I have to constantly fight with it to get it to lock/unlock. The mesh is pretty irritating to bare skin. It's comfortable if you got clothes on but if you were thinking of sitting in it shirtless (or pantsless) on a hot day you won't like it. I also wish it reclined farther back. It's not bad but I think it could have reclined an additional 30 degrees for a little napping. All in all I give it 3.75 stars out of 5. Would have been a 4 or 4.5 without the issues. But I'm decently satisfied with it so far.
The chair is comfortable. I enjoy the support. The only negative the mesh on the seat is pulling out from the frame. I called the manufacturer. They are sending a new seat for me. I have not received it. I hope I can replace easily.
