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.

I chose this chair because it fit my 6'5" 260 pound frame (35 inch inseam). So far it has performed flawlessly but only time will tell if it holds up (I have only had the chair for about 4 months). My chair at work is a Herman Miller and since I cannot afford a Herman Miller I chose to find something similar at a lower cost and this one fit the bill for me. Being tall makes getting a comfortable chair somewhat difficult and limits choice but this one is definitely for a larger person like myself; I think a smaller person would not like this chair because it is wider and taller than most. For example my wife of 5 foot "swims" in this chair even though she finds it somewhat comfortable (her head hits the frame at the top of the chair). I would say that if you are taller than me or a long torso this chair would probably not work since I have the headrest set to max height for me but it would be fine if a person has a wider frame than me because this chair is even too wide for me (there is a LOT of room side to side between the arms - seat width is just about wide enough for me). I find the chair comfortable enough to sit for up to 2+ hours without getting up (I generally don't sit for any longer than that at any given time); and it is comfortable enough to complete my work day which can be up to 10 hours on some days. Hope this helps others make their decision.

The mesh where you sit on is already stretching out. You feel the hard plastic edge piece before your back touches the backrest.

Still "testing" but lumbar support is painful

So far it's a decent chair overall - easy to assemble looks good - but I am experiencing acute lower back pain from the lumbar support... still adjusting the height (it moves up and down) to see if it gets better but it feels like a lot of pressure (not relaxing!) on the back. I'm 6' 1" 190 lbs.
