I had to replace my prior office chair (also from Staples) that was your traditional leather high-back office chair. The padding inside the seat wasn't holding up after 3 years of daily use and I was sitting mostly on the hard bottom surface of the seat causing back pain and a lot of "old man sounds" when I stood up. Thanks to the extended warranty I bought I was able to get this one "for free" since the cost was the same. I want to give 5 stars to the Asurion warranty folks. My claim was painless and I had my full payout within a few days. The mesh seating definitely sits 'cooler' than the leather seat. I noticed that quickly. The back/lumbar support is also very good. Having a headrest was a must-have and this one works great for me. (I'm 6' tall.) The mesh seating feels hard at first but I am getting used to it. I use it every day 7 days a week since it's in my home office. I sit for long periods and I noticed quickly that I don't have the aches and pains and moans and groans I had with my prior leather chair. Since I work from home I wear shorts most of the time so I have noticed the mesh is a bit "scratchy" at times on my legs but that is not the chair's fault. If I have sweats or jeans no issue at all. I bought the warranty again just in case there's an issue down the road. Not expecting anything but it provides an inexpensive bit of peace of mind.

Good Chair for Home Office

Bought two of these chairs while on sale. Have been WFH for over a year and these replaced the folding/kitchen chairs we had been using. These chairs are so much better than what we had been using! Putting the chairs together was very easy took about 45 minutes to put together two chairs. Chairs roll on the casters very smoothly the chair itself is stable and the seat and back support are comfortable and supportive and we haven't had any issues so far! If I had to give any negatives about the chairs so far I would say the arm supports are a bit meh I've used other office chairs that had better "adjustability" in terms of raising/tilting the seat (but these are just fine) and one of the chairs had a bit of a intense plastic smell to it (but it went away once it had a chance to air out). None of those issues would stop me from buying another one.
