After buying numerous vinyl coated office chairs in this chairs price range over the years I finally decided to try one like this. Reason being the vinyl coating always comes off of those chairs within a year and they look like garbage and leave vinyl chips all over my carpet. when sitting in this chair at staples I felt it was the most comfortable. It may not be as soft but none the less very comfortable. Its solid and has good lumbar and head support. It looks nice as well. I think even better then the vinyl ones. Hoping it will last a couple of years. If it does I will probably continue with this style in the future.
The chair is great now that it is assembled. It is everything I hoped for. The worst part was the headrest assembly. The directions say to install the optional headrest at the end. But the headrest took most of the assembly time. It is very hard to get a correct angle to see what you are doing. I recommend installing the headrest much sooner so you can see the screw holes. I had to push on it with force and flip around the chair a few times to be able to see what I was doing.
sitting at a computer can be a trying thing but to have a chair to fit you makes it a pleasant task. You should always try and sit in a product like this before buying if the old chair is still good give it to a less fortunate person to use rather than junk it.
