Zero Seat Support

I bought this chair about 3 months ago and found it very comfortable for a while despite the armrests not having enough downward travel. 3 months in and now the mesh in the seat has loosened up to the point there is very little support. I'm 5'11" and 165 lbs so this is not something I would've expected. I've recently added a memory foam seat cushion which helps tremendously. I just wish I had gone with a higher quality foam-seated chair to begin with. On the plus side the 2" memory foam seat cushion has improved the arm travel issue significantly.
I have an old executive desk with drawers on each side and a pencil drawer directly over the foot well. The arm rests on many desk chairs are too long and too low so they run into the desk before I can scoot far enough forward and don't provide support for using a keyboard on the desktop. By contrast this chair has shorter arm rests plus they're adjustable in height so I can finally scoot forward enough and get arm support to comfortably use the keyboard on the desktop. This chair also has great back support and a comfortable seat. I think it's more comfortable than my Herman Miller Aeron chair at work which costs about four times as much. This chair obviously isn't the same quality as an Aeron but I'm not using it in a commercial environment either. I gave it four stars because it doesn't fit in with home decor but I haven't been able to find a supportive chair that does. Hugely better lumbar support than the La-Z-Boy Bradley which I had to return for that reason.
This purchase was made to use in an office setting where I am at my desk for long periods of time. This chair provides good support and I am very happy with it.
