I still had to youtube a video to put it together. The casters did not just pop in but required an exact angle and a bit of force. But now that it's done the chair is comfortable. Since it was on sale it was a good price as well.
Complete Trifecta: Sturdy Comfortable and Adjustable!

One of the first things that I noticed about it is when I picked up the box: IT'S HEAVY. I mean it's heavier than any other chair I've owned and this made me think that it was a high-quality well-built product. So far I think that's true but let's see how it holds up. I'll update this review in the future if it proves otherwise. The adjustable features are what I've been needing! The height adjustments in the arm rests helped me achieve better ergonomic postures when working. It's a firm rubber that provides good support but does have a bit of give when resting the point of my elbow down on it. I love that the arm rests are wide enough to easily hold my forearms without them slipping off the sides. The head rest adjustments aid in comfort when I want to recline and watch a something online. The cushion at the front of the seat is nice. It's thick and firm enough to support the legs/thighs but also soft enough that it doesn't feel obtrusive. I've owned several high-back executive chairs and those are decent for a few hours of use. I just find myself shift a lot in them trying to get comfortable. This is the best one for working a full 8-hour shift. With that said it's time for some criticisms! It would be great to have a bit more adjustments in arm rests; i.e forwards/backwards in/out (closer or further from the body). There's a big dip at the back of the seat/bottom of back rest which leaves the lowest part of the back feeling unsupported. Less taper in the seat and back design and/or some lower adjustments to the lumbar support may have resolved this issue. It would also be nice to have some forwards and backwards adjustments for the head rest. While I understand the mesh for breathability and hard plastic frame for rigidity it would also be nice to see more padding around the edge of the seat/back piece and more mid back and upper back support. Overall it still feels like a great chair for work and the only thing left to judge is its long-term durability.
The mesh seat is very comfortable and I like that the seat back reclines while the seat stays flat. This allows your feet to stay on the floor so there is no pressure on the back of your legs. The back recline has adjustable spring tension and the arms and seat are both height adjustable. I would recommend this chair.
I bought this chair because the dining room chairs were not cutting it for WFH. The Dexley is very comfortable to work in all day. It is actually better than the chairs supplied to us in the office. The high back and lumbar support allow me to work without getting fatigued. And the recline is just right for a long video conference. I am 6' and the height is perfect. Easy to assemble. It took me 15 minutes.
